Happy almost New Year's Eve!

It's about that time to get ready to pop a little bubbly and sparkle into the New Year.  I've partnered with my blogger boo, Ambrosia Marlbrough of the lifestyle blog, xoxo-Brosia, to give you a little NYE inspiration.

Of course, there were sequins, faux fur and baroque involved with some gold and silver metallics thrown into the mix. Ambrosia styled her entire look around her Calypso St. Barth silver sequin dress and I went into gold jacquard, baroque, and faux fur overdrive. NYE is definitely the time to go a little over the top. 

Let's go into 2015 with a BANG!

Well, I've been up all night. How about you?

D'Angelo took a page right out of the Secret Marketing Tools for Keeping People up at Ungodly Hours of the Night Downloading and Listening to an Album written and mastered by Beyonce and released Black Messiah at midnight last night. It's definitely a "press play" like most of his albums are for me. 

D'Angelo, I've missed you. Thank you for last night. It was mad real.

On to the look… 

Yes, you sure can wear a bandeau top in the fall/winter. Of course, the weather is really mild (read: It's in the 70s) in Arizona. I'm bragging a little but if you're in cities where you're maneuvering through the polar vortex, just layer up and big reveal when you arrive or wait until it warms up.

Yeah, wait until it warms up or move.

'Tis the season for faux fur!

Amen and Amen!

Creating this list of faux fur favorites (say that three times in a row) gave me the heebie-jeebies. Like, I tingled on the inside. Adding faux fur is one of the best ways to compliment and elevate even the most casual of looks. The faux fur clutches are a quick and effortless way to add a little more depth to any look this season. 

Pretty please with sugar on top, incorporate some faux fur into your wardrobe. 

Check out a few of my top picks here (click the links below for more information):

First Row (l. to r.): Finds + Rejina Pyo Coat, Ainea Beige Coat, River Island Coat, Ted Baker Coat

Second Row (l. to r.): ASOS Roll Top Clutch, Oui, Odile! Coat, Shrimps Pablo Clutch, Urban Code Stole

Third Row (l. to r.): Michael Kors Houndstooth Coat, Shrimps Daisy Clutch, Diesel Vest, River Island Clutch

Lets talk about this pink faux fur coat from Zara. It's pink and it's fabulous. First of all, Zara does a good faux fur. When I opened the box, I gasped. Real life gasped. Of course, I had a little hesitation with wearing this baby powder blush pink and moreover wearing it during the fall. I didn't think that this was a trend that I would get into but who can pass up something this good. I mean really.
