Sequins, glitter, black dresses and champagne.  These all signal new year's eve celebrations.  This new year's eve, one should expect much of the same fashion and style trends that have exploded throughout the year.

1. Sequin dresses - From the Golden Globes to the American Music awards, sequins have been everywhere.  This celeb-driven trend is definitely here to stay.  From Julie Moran's asymmetrical glittering dress at the American Music Awards pre-gala event to Selena Gomez's Talbot Runhof cocktail dress at the American Music Awards, sequin-style dresses are the perfect New Year's eve style.  Steal the look for $15.50 with the "fab sequin shoulder dress" from forever21.com. (available in silver/black). 

2. Statement necklaces - Statement necklaces, especially bib necklaces are one of the trends that will stay the fashion course in 2010.  A favorite of fashion magazine editors, bib necklaces add instant glam to any look.  Whether one is going for casual or dressy, bib necklaces are a versatile addition to any New Year's eve style.  One bib necklace that has made the fashion magazine rounds this year is the Stella & Dot Natasha embroidered bib necklace.  Noted for its intricate hand beaded designs, look for the Natasha bib necklace in your favorite magazines next year - yes, fashion editors can't get enough.

3. Ribbon necklaces - A huge runway and party trend this year, the versatility of ribbon necklaces makes them a reliable fashion staple on new year's eve.  Get this new year's eve style with J. Crew's crystal symphony necklace for $98 or Stella & Dot's ava cupchain necklace for $44.  Add the matching Stella & Dot ava cupchain earrings for $22. 

4. Luxe bracelets - Nothing sizzles up a look than the unexpected luxe style bracelet.  From Giuliana Rancic's Stella & Dot Grace Pearl Bauble bracelet at the Emmy's to Michelle Obama's beaded styles, bracelets are an easy style update.  Choose from J. Crew's luxe cocktail bracelet for $98 or Giuliana Rancic's Stella & Dot Grace Pearl Bauble bracelet for $89.

5. Rings - Whether one prefers simple gold bands to elaborate crystal studded cocktail rings, this accessory always adds a great finishing touch to any outfit.  One request I have gotten over and over during the last few weeks is the black flower ring worn by Alexis Bellino on a recent episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County.  Alexis rocked Stella & Dot's own black bloom flower ring, which is the ultimate new year's eve style steal for $44.
