Are You Prepared for NYE?!

[It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our house :)]

After a morning from hell, I finally can post! On my Christmas list this year is a new laptop. My Mac is on the fritz.

I know eastern Canada has been hit with tons of snow but on the west we've had it pretty tame. Today is started to actually snow and by actually I mean less then a cm (sad I know..) but we will take all we can get of the pretty white stuff :)

While listening to a little Michael Buble Christmas music this morning, I hunkered down to write a post that many of you can relate to. NYE is ringing closer! (2010!! wooo) and we all know that you need the perfect COMPLETE outfit for New Years Eve. Everyone wants to look their best and its the time of year when glitter, sequins, over-the-top make up, big hair and lots of booze is fully acceptable. Some people like to find the dress first then the shoes. I seem to work the other way around. I like to find the perfect shoes and match the dress accordingly, but we all know I am a little weird so I don't blame you for doing it the "right" way.

My advice would be choose what type of garment you want to wear. If your dress is going to be a simple colour then that leaves you with free reign to accessorize and wear KILLER heels, but if you want to wear a full on gold sequin dress, that kind of restricts your accessory placement. If you don't want to spend a lot of money I would recommend getting a bold frock that way you wont need to layer necklaces or bracelets cause your dress is already the center of attention. This may be common sense for some of you but for those girls that I see at clubs wearing hot pink sequin dresses with silver heels and layers of fake diamonds and metallic make up.. this is for you! Note: you shouldn't blind people when they look at you.. no one needs THAT much sparkle.

Let's talk shoes... I have a few pumps that I think are great for NYE!

Of course you can't go wrong with Christian Louboutin heels but since not everyone can spend $700+ on NYE shoes I have added the cheaper versions. I usually avoid Aldo shoes. I HATE that they rip off the designers and they are extremely uncomfortable and WAY over priced, but for one night of partying they do in a pinch. Especially for those who are on a shoestring budget.
