Party Rock Frocks

If you're going out on the town tonight to celebrate New Years Eve, and are still undecided on what to wear, here are some ideas that may help. I've selected a few party frocks to inspire you to ring in 2012 with savoir faire. We all have something in our closets that are either printed, colourful, simple or sparkly; this is a good opportunity to take it off the hanger and wear it with your best pair of heels.

There is a saying that goes "what you're doing at exactly midnight on New Years Eve is a reflection of how the rest of your year will go". If that's anything to go by, then what you're wearing on New Years Eve should also set the tone for the year ahead. So make it sassy, sweet and stylish and hopefully that will signify a fashionable year to follow!




What is your New Years style going to be like? 
Wishing you a terrific 2012! Going out or staying in, whatever your plans are, I hope that you have a great one!

Oh I want them all. Such a great collection, I'm really drooling over the something sunny and the something sparkly! I'll be having a low key New Year's eve so no real need to go glam. Have a happy New Year's!

Hi Sam! It's so great to be back and catching up on all my favorite blogs! I love the "something printed" - we're not going out for new years eve, but having a big brunch on new years day and I think I'm wearing "something sparkly" Happy New Year!

Anna said...

I'm going to wear a sparkly H&M top and an undetermined bottom (red pants, maybe?) Happy New Year! I love the D&G and Jenny Packham dresses.

Uh oh--I was thinking of staying home tonight. (I hate how rowdy New Year's Eve crowds can get!) but that's a good point you make. If I'm not going to party I should still do something exciting.

Anyway gorgeous dress choices and here's to a happy and healthy New Year! :-)

Unfortunately the style of dress i decided to wear on N.Y eve is not featured here, it was a bit of sexyness and rock edgyness combined in a black printed dress with leather details and black boots. although i can't seem to stop looking at the fab collection of dresses you feature here.
i especially like the something coral dress, with the line of embellisment.

Wonderful selection! I am crazy about Sass and Bide, lovely lines and color blocking . The printed D&G is also quite fetching.
