Whether your New Year's Eve finds you decked out in refinement, edge or eccentricity, here are some looks to consider.
New Year's Eve Sophisticate by Samantha Smikle
"New Year's Eve Sophisticate" is all about glamour. The drapy Ungaro number is held together by the structure of the Balmain jacket and the Choos. Add a dash off color with accessories like the Bottega Veneta cocktail ring.
New Year's Eve Rocker by Samantha Smikle
"New Year's Eve Rocker" has fierce written all over her. Accessories are crucial here with laced up Louboutins and a gold accented leather Jimmy Choo clutch. The tough accessories compliment the glitz of the Balmain jacket and the sexiness of the leggings.
New Year's Eve Quirky by Samantha Smikle
"New Year's Eve Quirk" is playful but ever-stylish. An animal print Phillip Lim dress is off set by soft color in the Marni fur cape and the vintage belt. Another unexpected addition to the look are the black and white Chanel platforms. Fill your arms with bangles and bracelets for Catherine Baba drama!
Happy New Year!

Hot pumps, like these gold ones can go for all occasions in a city like Miami, where too much is never enough. Just remember to take them off once you get on the beach!
For the beach, a sure thing is a black bathing suit--always flattering, highlights glowing skin, and with cut outs it's effortlessly sexy! An eyelet summer dress and fun shades are perfect for a stroll on Lincoln Road.
For dinner, a black silk romper, gold accessories and a muted patent leather bag is a great medium between dressing up after a chill day and getting geared up for what's to come!
Night time is no time to be in your hotel room...Slap on your brightest, tightest dress; grab punchy accessories like a sequined clutch and a wrist full of bangles and head out to the club with the DJ who liked your beach bag!

The Lanvin for H&M line will preview with a special film on November 2 on the brand's website and like all major collaborations I am sure that women all over the world will be losing their minds over this one.
The collection is to include 30 women's garments, 15 accessories and 25 menswear pieces & about 10 men's accessories according to Vogue tweets. We will keep you posted!
//CHECK FOR H&M AND LANVIN HERE//
With a collaboration with one of shoe royalites, Jimmy Choo and a campaign shot by our favorite photog Terry Richardson, this may be one of H&M's biggest venture to date. It's due to hit stores, November 14.
Here are some guidelines for orderly shopping as read on Nitrolicious:
The first 160 people in line will receive a bracelet; on the bracelet you will be given a specific time for shopping in our designated area. The bracelets are only needed for the women’s shoes, bags and accessories. Customers shopping the men’s collection or the women’s garments will not require a bracelet. When your time has come, we will let you into the designated shopping area to shop.
If you are not one of the 160 first in line, you will of course have the opportunity to shop from the rest of the collection or within H&M. After about 2 hours we will also open up the designated area for all customers.
For the collection, each customer can buy the whole collection but one per product or piece (accessories) per product per customer. 
Geek Chic, is a trend that began with plano (non-Rx) eyeglasses last winter, but it has grown into a monster and taken over many a closets.
...
For the more subtle at heart, geek chic can be manifested down to your accessories. Calculator watches, chucks, rainbow bright accessories all play into the look.

A sample of the treats scattered throughout the vintage wonderland called Fille De Joie...
Isabella, the model.Then I decided to make the walk back to the train seem shorter by stopping in vintage shops. I was most excited about this one, Fille De Joie. It means daughter of joy, lady of leisure, prostitute. But which ever way you translate it, when applied to fashion and shopping, sounds like it means spoil yourself.
Everything is really beautifully and deliberately themed and color coordinated. 
Cotton candy colored accessories
Tribal/safari inspired jewelry, belts and more cupcakes on a liquor trolly For the most part, the price points are out of my league, understandbly as a lot of the pieces are finds from France. But I refused to walk out empty-handed, picking up these earrings that the owner, CC McGurr, dug up for me. Only $15.

When the accessories make the look, everything comes together. My hair, piles of bangles, a long necklace and a drapey scarf make a cutesy outfit of polka dots and an eyelet tunic more hippie boho than uptown chic.
Beyonce is 1950's Hollywood glamour/pinup sexy performer wife in "Why Don't You Love Me." Finally a look that is inherently what her presence possesses without looking contrived and I say she ride this out for as long as we'll let her.
For fashion tips and trends in the video Bey utilizes all that's hot right now and conveys a thematic look. Avoid the same strategy to keep it natural, choose one from the following choices for your own "Why Don't You Love Me"/on-trend moment.
Makeup:
cat eyeliner/red pout/metallic pout/pastel pink pout
Accessories:
cat eye shades/super round bolg frame shades/tons of gold jewelry
Garbs:
thigh high nylons/return of the platform stilleto/lace/highwaists
A maxi feels best in the summer...the air flows free and you look effortless and bohemian or beachy. Follow the advice on this excerpt from TopShop: pile on the breight accessories despite the bright 'fit, it's summertime!...almost
I tried on 15 pieces in my last H&M visit--don't judge! Three pieces made the final cut--all pictured above with the exception of the culottes which were super cute, definitely Miu Miu-esque, but not the matter at hand.
I was aiming for interview pieces. Your girl is looking for a new gig *insert cheap plug here ->keep me in mind if you hear of a brand manager/production manager position at an accessories company (preferably jewelry)!*
Back to the story, so I had an interview the next week and wore the skirt--partly pleated and all fabulous--with the blouse I also snagged, my A. wang blazer and Forever 21 Miu Miu-esque platform Maryjanes...seems I have an affectation for all things almost-Miu Miu.
For a relaxed look, I wore the skirt again that weekend with my fave vintage top, a vintage lace cami, a navajo pendant neck- and my Aldo laced up wedges.
Bring out your multiple personality fashionista by mixing tones in your styling. A bad girl metallic jacket with a good girl blush pink victorian blouse is a great balance between the two extremes.
Play up the look with accessories that compliments both dynamics: edgy jewelry and shoes paired with soft shades and bag says you're not so complicated after all!
Reptile print?! I love it on accessories, but clothes? Not so much...not at all really. Hannah played to these sensibilites, sneaking it in bit by bit until she introduces the grandest reptile piece of them all: a snake print trench of sorts.
Ms. MacGibbon, I with the python but the rest of the collection is completely classic Chloe '70s aesthetic that I love so much!
Why bulk up in winter gear before absolutely necessary?
Last but not least, take the original hanging piece from the front, pull it up & tuck it under the original knot you made on the top of your head, like so...
