Steal My Chic: New Year's Eve Glam 2013

Happy New Year guys! It's 2013 and I'm beyond elated to see another year with you all. I had a blast for New Year's Eve this year. I rang in the new year adorned in a fitted peplum dress from ASOS. As you can see above, the front is V-Neck shaped and peplum and the back is cross-back. It was a little more risque than I normally do, but you know NYE - it's go hard or go home! Perfect time to flaunt curves with confidence. I would definitely recreate this party look in the future for other events and special occasions. Here's what I wore, including my accessories which aren't shown above, in case you want to recreate something similar:

 1. ASOS Peplum Cut Out Dress ($61.57)

2. T+J Designs 18K White Gold Pave Bracelet ($100.00)

3. Handbag Heaven Kourtney Cross-Body Bag ($42.46)

4. MIA Shoes Snakeskin Booties

Once upon a time, somebody on Instagram called me a"Vixen". And I liked it. Mmmhmm.

The Beauty Girl's Holiday Gift Guide

I don't trust everyone's opinions when it comes to my beauty product recommendations. But one girl I do trust is beauty blogger Eileen from Miss Whoever You Are. Aside from her being a super fly chick, she's tapped into what's hot & new in the realm of beauty, especially for dark & lovely ladies like myself. Eileen was nice enough to include my LoveBrownSugar x LiSi Cosmetics nail lacquer in her roundup this year. For that I'm eternally thankful!

Style Candy: 4 Ways to Rock New Year's Eve Attire

Tomorrow marks the official end of 2010 and the ushering in of a brand new year! Whether you'll be celebrating at a big city club or at a low key house party with friends, you want to look glam and ring in the New Year in style. Just in case you need inspiration, I've compiled a few chic looks for every type of diva out there...

• Vintage Chic: The oldschool-obsessed would be remiss without sporting an NYE fashion staple - the sequined top! Just pair it with a leather mini and show-stopping heels for good measure.

• Posh: Kickin' it uptown for New Year's? If so, you might want to opt for glitz and glam with a hint of sophistication. Neutral tones and sky high trendy pumps will do the trick. And don't forget your statement necklace - a must for the posh fashionista.

• Downtown: If you're a no-fuss downtown diva who just likes to look fab with little effort, this look is for you. A simple sparkle top with leather shorts, sheer tights and platform heels makes for a comfy yet uber chic look to ring in the New Year. 

• Glam: The last look is for the traditional diva who wants to go all out for NYE. Throw on a bright colored frock (you can also substitute the traditional sequined tube top dress), glitter pumps and diamond accessories. You'll be brighter than the ball dropping in Times Square. 

Enjoy the New Year's festivities and I'll see you lovelies in 2011!
