New Years Eve Glam

December 17, 2019

They typically say that “hindsight is 20/20” but this year, the Dolls are looking ahead with clarity to the New Year. There are plenty of reasons to toast when the clock strikes 12 including the adventures, opportunities, growth and happiness on the horizon. Caitlin and Danielle are looking forward to it all. But first – the two best friends are getting Dolled Up! Keep reading for their four must haves to ring in 2020.

May Your New Year Sparkle and Shine!

1. A Dazzling Dress

These gorgeous gowns are from Mira Couture. This upscale salon has a special place in our hearts – they even custom made Caitlin’s wedding dress. The black lace over the nude silhouette is the perfect combination of elegance and sex appeal for the New Year.  While these gowns are perfect for a black tie event, you can transform this trend for a more casual soiree. We picked some of our favorites below to shop!

 

2. Hair & Makeup

No matter what you wear, you will look and feel like a million bucks with the right hair and makeup! We went to Paul Rehder Salon to achieve these glam looks. The ease and excitement of getting Dolled Up by professionals is such a treat. We went with clean hair and tousled waves. As for makeup –  a smoky eye and red lip really upped the vibe for us. We included the beauty products we used below… so many of our favorites!

Hot Tip: Estee Lauder Doublewear Foundation is your best friend… especially for a NYE kiss!

 

3. Prosecco & Sweets

This celebration is truly one to treat yourself! We’ve recently fallen in love with Giuliana Prosecco. Each sip is fresh, fruity and complex on the palate, followed by a light velvety body. We don’t mind sipping on this prosecco and indulging in one of Nadiya’s Cupcakes!

4. Your Best Friend and New Friends

The new year is a time to cherish the beauty of the unknown – of what’s to come. So whether we are celebrating with the same crew, or surrounded by new friends, we know to trust the journey, embrace those around us, and celebrate all night.

Tell us, how will you ring in 2020?

    I love the dresses, especially the tighter, hip-hugging one. It would be my go-to choice. Great post and a great selection of dresses & beauty products.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Those dresses are great! Especially the figure-hugging one, although I don’t know how practical it would be to wear out with that train! Looks like everyone was having a great time.

    I’ll definitely be in bed at the stroke of 12 thinking back about all the things that I manage to accomplish in 2019 and looking forward to all the opportunities awaiting me in 2020.
