From the pre-fall 2009 collection, we discovered this little beauty; although many of the looks in the collection had zig-zag patterns matching the dresses, I thought that these threads were the absolute chic-est, by far! I absolutely loved the scalloped inteription of knit, fringe, knit, fringe — it easily could have gone into a “trashy” aesthetic, but Missoni knows how to work it in their favor.

New Year’s Eve is just one of those times of the year when you bust out the silly hats and don sparkles and sequins galore without nary an eye doing a double-take in your direction (well, unless you are covered in sequins literally from head to toe). We’ve picked some items, both large and small, to enhance your sparkle factor on December 31st, 2009:
Sequin Stripes SS Top, $19.80
Be bold and wear just a black bra underneath — or a little more modest and layer it with a black tank.
Metallic Headband, $3.80
Some of us just want a touch of shimmer — go for a metallic headband, available in gold or silver, to show a dash of holiday spirit.
Norma Kamali Metallic Convertible Clutch/Shoulder Bag, $6 (was $7)
Since its only $6, there’s no reason not to have a shiny metallic bag on New Year’s!
Box-Pleat Full Skirt- Metallic Dot Jaquard $29.99 (was $69)
We find this to be one of those items that you can get wear out of for years to come — holiday office parties here we come!
Claudia Crackle-Metallic Pumps $198
I absolutely adore these, and can rationalize having them in all available colors, metallic pewter, metallic sherbert, or metallic gold.
Calvin Klein Maeve Pumps, $77.50 (were $97.95)
Go for a funkier version via these retro-inspired low-heeled pumps –reminscent of fall ’08 Prada heels!

We commend Patricia Field, Sex & the City stylist extraordinaire for her cheap-chic collaborations, and came across one of our favorite items for the accessories, jewelry, and clothing collection she did for HSN.com. We really like the Noir for Patricia Field Wide Swirl 6″ Cuff Bracelet, in goldtone or silvertone for $34.95 at HSN.com. It resembles an Elsa Peretti for Tiffany cuff bracelet, but naturally costs about $690 less!
Add around $5 for s&h.
