Eat, Drink & Be Chic in 2009!

Still stumped about what to wear for New Year's Eve?  Time to reach for the trusty LBD, and gussy it up a bit. Try a bold clutch and shoes that, while not matchy-matchy, are complementary in some way, such as being in the same color fam or with touches of similar hues (and fortunately, there's still time to run to the store for a bag or shoe intervention if you're really desperate).  Since this dress is strapless, we chose eyecatching earrings, hands-down the best way to show off a sexy neck.  Instead of the usual necklace, try a cooler, more unexpected touch like this gauzy scarf.  Finish off with bold bangles and a tough black motorcycle jacket give the entire look a bit of edge...just the right balance of sweet & sour to usher in a fashionable new year.   Here's where to get the goods:

Miu Miu strapless tiered dress

Alexander McQueen hummingbird print scarf

Miu Miu rosette leather jacket

Isharya cascade earrings

Kenneth Jay Lane bangles

Miu Miu oversized metallic bronze clutch

Brian Atwood Marielle satin pumps
