I can’t believe 2017 is almost over! This year has gone by especially fast for me, as we’ve been non-stop preparing to start a brand new journey as parents to a little girl. While I certainly won’t be partying much this New Years Eve (the baby is due so soon!), I haven’t been able to resist checking out all the amazing cocktail attire online and in stores. There are so many gorgeous, unique options out there at this time of year. Today I’m sharing with you 5 of my favorite NYE trends for the last night of 2017 – and what I’d be wearing if I was heading out on the town!
5 NYE Outfit Ideas
1. Va Va Velvet
Velvet is such a staple for winter, but I especially love the way it looks as a cocktail dress. It’s such a rich material that it makes even the most simple silhouette look super glam.
2. All That Glitters
A sparkly New Years Eve look doesn’t have to be over-the-top. Try dressing down a metallic dress with simple black pumps, a pinned back hair style, natural makeup, and minimal jewelry.
3. Slip In To Something (Actually) Comfortable
Slip dresses are the epitome of an easy, breezy, yet put-together look. Try a bright color – like red, or a deep jewel tone – like emerald, to start the new year by standing out from the crowd.
4. Jump(suit) Around
Jumpsuits are a lesser known NYE staple, but if you live in a colder climate they can honestly be a godsend compared to a LBD. A long sleeved or wide-legged jumpsuit can be so understatedly sexy for New Years, and you’ll be super warm and cozy if you pair one with a faux fur coat.
5. Not Your Grandma’s Lace
Lace can be cheeky, classy and sexy all at once… all great attitudes to head into 2018 with! I love how this trend has a vintage vibe with a modern twist.
What I’m Wearing: Dress by Rachel Pally, Heels by Jimmy Choo, Earrings by Gas Bijoux, Bag by Brahmin, similar here

Hey Louise! My favorite part of the holidays is when I spend a lot of time with my family and we sing and laugh together❤️

My favorite part about the holidays is catching up with family members that I rarely get to see throughout the year. Also, the champagne isn’t bad either! @jkfleming46

Your card is so darling ! And a beautiful tradition to start as a new family.
My fave part of the holidays, is for the first time I’m experiencing a white Christmas, which I have fallen in love with. Coming from Africa my eyes are wider than ever, with all the new traditions, foods. And the Christmas music makes sense for the first time !!
This year my best friend and I are starting our own Christmas traditions (being away from home and family) and that’s as exciting as your New Years card too !!!
Have a fab festive season with your new addition coming soon xx

Its so hard to share with you only one favorite thing from this season of the year since Christmas is my favorite time of the year! If I had to choose a few reasons they would probably be the following. I love spending time with friends and family and the magical atmosphere you feel when being around them its like a christmas feeling that you are more vulnerable emotionally speaking. Also cooking fun recipes, doing secret santa and having tons of events and outings!
Love,
Isabella

Hi Louise! I’d love to win the earrings, they would be perfect with my dress I bought for my sister’s wedding 🙂 Anyway, the best part of the holidays for me is not having to set an alarm and to be able to sleep in for a few days. I really need that! Hope you’re having wonderful holidays as well, and wishing you an amazing 2018! IG btw is @reneejz
