New Years is a time for celebration and being with friends. It is also one time that you can get away with having a beautiful dramatic look!  for this year, try a dramatic smokey eye to make your eyes pop and become the center of attention! smokey eyes brighten up your eyes and makes them appear larger than what they really are. Here are some ideas.. 
You can do a smokey eye with pretty much any color! For New Years Eve, I suggest doing a classic black or brown. For the adventurous, I would try a purple or green smokey eye to compliment your outfit. New Years is about taking chances and ending the year with a BANG! so go out and be adventurous! do something you have never done before! xoxo 
 
So 2014 is approaching and you are looking for the perfect outfit to ring in the new year! this year trends lends towards sparkles, elegant silhouettes, and color!

The classic 'little black dress' never goes out of style! but update it with a Lacey texture and a belt to bring the outfit together. 

Gold and Silver dresses are perfect for ringing in the new years!  they scream party and that you are ready to have some fun! (but of course add some sparkles!) this will make you the center of attention at your get together. 
For shoes, add a red or classic black stiletto or pump! the red will give you that pop of color, and the classic black heel with never let you down! 





The new year only comes once a year, so this year make it the best that it can be! Wear something that fits your style and makes you the center of attention!

Stocking stuffers, in my opinion, is the hardest to shop for. There are many things that you can put in a stocking to represent that person.  While shopping for stocking stuffers, find things that your love one, or friend, will love! (don't go with the regular candy or random objects) Find things that they can actually use!  below are a few ideas! xoxo 
1. NYX Butter Gloss- my new favorite lip gloss!  it is a moisturizer and lipstick all in one! 
2. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer -  this is one of the best primers on the market! it keeps your eyeshadow looking fresh all day. 
3. Tory Burch Notepad -  you don't have to get a Tory Burch notepad, get a regular notepad to write down dates/times or important events!  hang them on your dresser or walls to remind you! 
4. EOS Lip Balm-  I LOVE this lip balm from EOS!  it is cute, portable and it taste AMAZING! 
5. NYX Butter Lip Balm - NYX best moisturizing lip balm!  it keeps your lips soft all day!

Are you trying to find that perfect gift? well here are 5 tips that will help you get the BEST.CHRISTMAS GIFTS.EVER! 

1.Make the present an event. 
Get creative with the packaging! Rather than just handing them a gift in regular wrapping paper, think of the gifting experience as an event--and you want to make sure they enjoy it

2. Make a list of all the things the person is interested in and things that define who they are. Make this list long--spend at least two full minutes writing down as many things as you can. Now brainstorm something to go with every item on that list, small or big. You don't have to give all of those gifts, but you're going to hit on some cool ideas you wouldn't have otherwise, and when you combine a few of them, your giftee will appreciate how personal and thoughtful you were

3. Do some stalking. If all else fails, stalk. Most people have a wishlist on Amazon, and they'll be pretty surprised and delighted if you somehow found just the thing they wanted without even asking--and that they may have even forgotten they wanted themselves. Look through their Facebook history for clues

4. Include a little bit of yourself. Make it personal in a different way--personalized from you rather than for them. Create a piece of art, write a song, knit a scarf--you get the idea. Combine this with one (or more) of the above suggestions for an ultra-personalized gift.

5. Make them laugh. I always give gag gifts. So find something that will make them laugh out loud!
