New Year's Eve Party Looks: Black Tie Soiree

Hey Lovely BBB readers! Well, Christmas is officially over which means gift giving has pretty much come to a close, returns have probably already been made and its time to start planning what you are going to wear for one of the biggest party nights of the year, New Year's Eve! Whatever your New Year's plans... a black tie soiree, a house party or a ski getaway we've got you covered! In this three part series, I'll breakdown my top 3 favorite looks for New Year's Eve (depending on occassion) that are sure to make you sparkle, shine and show off! Today's look? The Black Tie Soiree!

Inspired by a gala at the NYC Ballet this "Black Tie" look is all about feminity and bling! We love the dusty blue-green color of the dress as well as the embellished feathered one shoulder look. To make this look pop without overdoing it accessorize with crystal jewelry, show-stopping frosted pumps, and a feminine clutch. Don't overdue it on the jewelry and let the dress speak for itself; a small drop earring and one bold piece, like a substantial cuff will do.

Dress: BCBG Max Azria One Shoulder Tulle Dress/ $398

Jewelry: Adriana Orsini for Saks Crystal Pear Drop Earrings and Wide Pave Bracelet/ $145 - $300

Clutch: Nine West My Fave Metallic Clutch/ $49.99

Shoes: Christian Louboutin Maralena Crystal Covered Peep Toe Pumps/ $2445

If you can't afford these truly special and aspirational shoes make sure to check out what Steve Madden and Nine West has to offer - some of my fave for affordable, on trend fancy footwear!

The Daily Bling - Sunday, February 21st

Sunday's Daily Bling is in honor of everyone's favorite reality tv sisters - the Kardashian girls! Tonight is the season finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians on E! Network (10 pm EST) and I thought what better way to pay homage to the crazy season its been by featuring a HAWT piece of jewel fit for Kim, Khloe, Kourtney and even Kris.

If you watch the show as much as I do, you probably know one of the signature pieces the girls sport are oversized, blinged out hoops. Adriana Orsini's Pave Hoop Earrings 2 1/4 inch are fit for the Kardashian klan for that reason. I loved these so much when I found them on SaksFifthAvenue.com today (Adriana Orsini is exclusive to Saks) that I may just have to scoop these up this week. In case you don't know much about Adriana Orsini, her line of jewelry is a terrific, affordable alternative if you are looking for a diamond-like look that looks believable and is really stylish on trend. Wearing her line is a great way to BLING up any outfit or help you test run a look you may end up wanting to invest in in diamonds eventually.

We could totally see the Kardashian's wearing these on the red carpet or just hanging out in Dash in Calabasas.

Adriana Orsini Pave Hoop Earrings 2 1/4 inch (crystal and rhodium plated) are available exclusively at www.SaksFifthAvenue.com and retail for $200.
