Every year on December 31, Glitz and Glam are the name of the game. Do you know what you’ll be wearing when the ball drops?

Whether you are going all-out to an ultra-exclusive party or a simple get together with a few friends, there’s no better time than New Year’s Eve to dive into the shiny, metallic corner of your closet and let loose. Check out Modnique’s picks to help inspire your holiday get up and start 2011 with one fashionable foot forward.

Nothing says, “I’m here to party and I look fabulous!” like sporting a piece from your favorite fashion icon’s collection. Added bonus: designer duds that don’t break the bank! Check out these sparkly pumps…

If emulating the glitterati isn’t your style, don’t stress. You can still look festive and stunning sans sequins. For your NYE ensemble, pair a simple black tank and jacket with a pair of skinny jeans. This style from Paper Denim & Cloth is on sale now at Modnique for just $29…

For a more modern twist, add a pop of color to your ensemble with jewelry and other accents.  Swarvoski pearls and crystals will have you looking polished in no time (Gabriela Designs – on sale now at Modnique.com).

A shimmery, gold bag is another effortless way to draw attention to your outfit without being ostentatious.

No matter how you decide to ring in the new year, make consumer conscious fashion one of your resolutions, starting… Now!

Our leopard obsession has carried over to the winter season. This trend is spot on and we simply CANNOT get enough of this très chic print! With so many different lines carrying leopard-this and leopard-that, there’s no shortage in getting a fix.

Made famous in the 1940s by designer Norman Norell, (we feel) this print should be a staple in every girl’s closet. It screams glamour and can add charm to any outfit as an accent piece or steal the show as the main attraction.

Whatever you do… Avoid wearing more than one leopard-print piece at a time. Hellllllllo moderation! Too much leopard and you will cross over from classy to tacky.

On sale now, Modnique has a to-die- for leopard Valentino bag, a luxurious leopard blanket, and gorgeous LBDs to compliment any leopard accessories. Check it out before sale events end!
