Helloooo to the potentially most overhyped night of the year in which we all hope to have the time of our lives but quite often settle for a distinctly average evening in which we’re more worried about what everyone else is doing that’s more fun than us. Ahh yes, New Year’s Eve. Now more than ever we’re ready to say good riddance to the past 365 days and welcome in the new year with some fresh optimism for 2021, with the hope of health and contentment for the next chapter of our lives. Perhaps this NYE won’t be so bad in the end.
We’ve learnt what makes us happy, what makes us anxious, the small parts of our routines we can’t go without, the people that feel like total peace, the memories we hold dear and the plans for the rest of our lives that are bursting at the seams. Regardless of our lack of plans, there’s something to be said for wearing something special whilst sipping on some bubbles and taking a positive attitude into the new year- after all, anything but loungewear feels like a treat these days!
What will you be wearing to see in the New Year? Whether it’s slippers or sparkle, we hope you can find some pockets of happiness to see you through.

Any excuse to dress up I’m there with BELLS on, and a staying at home NYE is no exception to that rule! I love a dress with a bit of drama (all I can hear is the ‘can I hear a little commotion for the dress TikTok audio) and this Sister Jane number is everything I look for in a comfy but stylish number. I’ve paired it with some pink accessories- mainly because the shoes look like something I’d actually be able to walk in- and voila, I’m ready to take on 2021 in a flash!

So as I’ve gone all black for my Christmas Day outfit I thought I’d lighten things up for NYE. This skirt is following me around the internet and at only £17.99 if you’re an H&M member I have to go for it. Pairing with cosy jumper and slippers because I am 1000% staying in this year and loving the fact that I don’t have to feel guilty about it.

I’m not the biggest fan of NYE and especially this year when we can’t celebrate like we usually would with friends and family. I think because of this I’ll more than likely be curled up in some comfy loungewear, watching Netflix and eating snacks! Not the wild NYE I’m used to (it will be much cheaper though no doubt) but quite fitting for 2020. Here’s to 2021!

Guys, I used to wear sequins to my seminars so you bet I’m glamming up for New Year, whatever the tier forecast. Trousers don’t get more bougie than Daily Sleeper, and if there’s ever been a good excuse to buy the fancy pants and celebrate life, it’s kissing goodbye to 2020. Plus, going this extra on my bottom half means I can get away with a cardigan up top. Now to remember how to walk in heels…

I’m not the biggest fan of NYE but I still love to use it as an excuse to get super dressed up and dance the night away. No doubt this year will be more chilled but I still plan on going all out. I usually opt for a black glittery number and a red lippy because you can’t really go wrong and it makes me feel classier than I actually am.

This new years eve will be a bit different for most of us, not least because I won’t be able to toast in the new year in the way that I’m used to IE alcohol-free for me, please! I think for that reason we all need a bit of a pick me up and personally for me when I make more effort and look great then I usually feel better too. I might even go crazy and put some heels on for the first time this year!
