Save the best for last. Whether you’re spending New Year’s Eve at home with close friends and a few bottles of champagne, watching the ball drop in Times Square, or partying at an exclusive VIP event, go out with a bang wearing the best outfit you’ve got. To make your night special, I’ve put together a little New Year’s Eve checklist to help everything run smoothly.

Ladies’ Checklist
1) Ladies, instead of stressing yourself over putting an outfit together, just find a show-stopping dress. It’s an outfit all in one. Just don’t forget to accessorize.

2) Wear at least one sparkly piece of statement jewelry, like these pave tassel earrings from C. Wonder featured in F is For Fashion, and guarantee that all eyes will be on you.

3) If you’re hoping for the perfect New Year’s kiss at midnight, don’t forget to spray on some perfume to smell great all night long.  My new favorite scent is L.I.L.Y by Stella McCartney.

4) Complete your New Year’s look with the perfect sparkly or embellished clutch. Not only will it jazz up your outfit, but it’s also the perfect place to stash your makeup essentials for quick touch-ups throughout the night. Don’t forget to pack some lip balm to keep your lips nice and smooth for that midnight kiss.

Good Morning readers, are you ready for tonight? I know I am! New Years Eve is always an eventful night for me, or at least it has been for the past six years considering that it’s my boyfriend’s birthday and our six year anniversary.  This year we’ve got plans to ring in the New Year New Orleans style with some friends.  I’m not really wearing this outfit tonight, but I know how much you all love this feather skirt so I figured I’d style it for you just one more time.  I actually wore this skirt for New Years last year to the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center and surprisingly enough, it held up pretty well.  If you want to see this year’s outfit, make sure to follow me on Instagram @hauteofftherack for an exclusive first look. I want to know what you’re wearing too, so make sure to tag @Hauteofftherack in your New Year’s photos on Twitter and Instagram!  Have a wonderful New Years Eve everyone, and please make sure to be safe and make smart decisions!
