NEW YEAR, SAME ME: A PICTUREBOOK & LOOKS FOR ENTERING THE NEW YEAR AS GLAMOUROUSLY MESSY AS YOU'LL BE ENDING THE LAST!

Ahhh 2026, we've waited so long for you to arrive...too long, in fact, what the fuck! This year felt both like it flew by faster than an IT Girl's scandal and longer than a model's duration in rehab. But I digress. It's the most wonderful time of the year when us women dust off our old vision boards of unrequited dreams and buy whole new set of planners that we'll use once for unfinished goals and never see again for the next 364 days. But why hide behind the shamefulness in it all when we can curate ourselves at any given moment, no pen or paper needed! I, for one, am not saint when it comes to making promises I can't keep. I mean, look at my social presence on and offline! Sometimes this Doll of Destruction needs to take a step back and find out where the wind is gonna take her next too. And yes, that ABSOLUTELY includes what I decide to wear the exact moment the clock strikes 12 into 2026. Because let's face it, it may be a new year but I'm still the same me -- just in different variations. I've made the executive decision to ensure that my outfits will always look the part and match every setting I go into. And you should to! So, tell me: which version of you is coming into this new year looking as hot, sexy, and glamorously trashy as ever, first?

"WILD FOR THE NIGHT, FUCK BEIN' POLITE!"

It's just a few hours before countdown. That one-night fling you left on read is in the same room as the year-long situationship who's phone you've been blowing up. And nevermind the physical reminder of the frenemy you had a falling out with, standing just feet apart from you. Your best girlfriends drag you to the bar for another round of shots, shoveling down a combination of bitter salt and lime before making your way back to the middle of the dancefloor. Your outfit? As loud as the music bumping from the speakers above but oh-so effortless. Whether you're in a warehouse, bar hopping from dive bar to dive bar, on a rooftop, or witnessing the ball drop in Times Square, this annual occasion calls for saving our only worries of the night on deciding which afterparty we should go to once 12:01 am hits! So, what did you decide to wear?

A DRESS?

One covered in Metallic, a tiny lingerie slips, long-sleeved ruffles, or a nasty animal print mini that'll give a leopard a run for its money?

TOPS?

Lacey bustiers and corsets, studded bralettes, low cut halter tops, sequin covered shirts that completely leave the person next to you blind, open chest chiffons, mesh tees, skin revealing body suits, sheer tops and button downs that'll give everyone within vicinity a sneaky peek show?

BOTTOMS?

Low rise and side laced jeans, the miniest of sequined miniskirts and shorts having you in competition with the disco ball, thigh hugging leathers,

SHOES?

No need to go all out -- Any pair of knee-highs, thigh highs, tall-inch heels (if that's your forte) and chunky platforms you pull out of your closet are a shoo-in to look good regardless as long as they give you every ability to overlook the crowd! Trust, you'll need it!

WHAT ABOUT ACCESORIES?

All complimented by outer layers of motorcycle leather and military jackets, chunky silver bracelets and clunky, low hanging stacked belts and necklaces, fur trimmed jackets and fur hats, glittery scarves, shimmering tights and thigh high panty hose compiled with a garter belt, and if you're gonna keep a purse on deck? The smaller, the better -- why bother bringing your entire room when the only thing you need is an ID and just enough makeup to ensure whether your eyeliner will survive the bathroom mirror at 11:17pm?! And don't worry about the tab... there's tons of men willing to keep that covered for you!

WANNA SPICE UP THE NIGHT A LITTLE? ADD A DRAMATIC FACE MASK! PERFECT FOR BRINGING MYSTERY TO YOUR IDENTITY AND AVOIDING THOSE YOU DON'T WANNA SEE, EVEN FOR JUST A FEW HOURS!

"ASPEN BABY BLUES"

THE VIBE?

Snow melted on a lit cigarette, frozen tear stains from the bitter cold, but still dressed in your holiday best.

Remember that one John Mayer song, "Your Body is a Wonderland?" Forget everything you know about its theme of love because we're continuing this new year looking fabulous and feeling comfortably warm. Though if you just so happen to be in Aspen for your New Years kiss, consider yourself lucky! And consider me envious. Aspen is a shaken, not stirred cocktail of winter wonderland luxury and drunken mistakes -- but absolutely no regrets. The only memories you have later come from blurry mirror selfies, strewn layers of clothing on the cabin floor, and random strangers coming up to you recounting conversations you definitely don't remember having. But hey, what happens in Aspen, STAYS in Aspen...so at least make sure you look good doing it!

TOPCOATS & JACKETS

Cropped faux fur with a hoodie, Sherling fur trims, solid thickened fur collars, long-hooded shaggy furs, Mink fur shawls, fur trimmed Parkas, oversized furs, double faced furs, faux fur zip-ups, Ruched long sleeved fur trimmed jackets, cropped Mongolian furs, mid-lengths, Neo Mint furs... rest assured, you're gonna need a lot of fur for your vacation full of ski resorts and House music!

BOTTOMS

Salopettes, half-zip ski jumpsuits, fleece-lined casuals, thermal leggings, distressed jeans over designed tights, ruffle tiered miniskirts, frilly miniskirts, monochromatic full ski suits, full fur and trimmed fur miniskirts. Absolute perfection for functionality and "candid" photos on the slopes!

SHOES

Moon boots, a non-negotiable, classic Uggs -- though originally made for surfing in the sands of Australia, they've become the greatest makeshift footwear for high, snowy altitudes -- Plush fuzzy boots, Columbia Minx and Helly Hansen snow boots, faux fur and shearling-lined platform boots

EXTRA ACCESSORIES?

Fuzzy earmuffs, fur Trapper hats, faux fur and Sherpa leg warmers, snow goggles (beloved Oakley's if you can afford them), faux fur Cossacks and bucket hats, always keep a snowboard nearby, and -- wait for it -- a tiny bikini! Why? To truly venture in Aspen, one must seek out a trip to the sauna at least once or twice. Plus, for your monthly Instagram recap, you'll look extra hot laying in the snow with nothing on but your new bikini and a big fur coat on in that numbingly crisp weather... cause why not?!

"THE HANGOVER"

January 1st is finally here! And yet, here you are, in bed sickly like you've got the flu. Waiting for the pounding headache to ease and the room to stop spinning just enough for you to hold down breakfast. We've all been there! You made the most out of the time you had making memories, and that's what matters the most. Now, what are you gonna do about that AWFUL hangover?! It's not enough you have to nurse yourself back to health, but now you have to drag your half dead-weighted body to the nearest corner store for some essentials!

2007 Mary Kate Olsen called, she says she wants her regimen back!

TOPS?

Oversized sweaters hanging off of the shoulder, basics, statment, and graphics DIY tees, spaghetti-strap tanks, band shirts that you've unconsciously started trading with your partner-- or snatched off the person you bagged the night prior -- and don't be fooled, these tops can be worn simply as shirts AND dresses!

BOTTOMS?

Baggy sweatpants galore, skin-tight leggings, low waist and distressed boyfriend jeans from last night, cut off shorts (if you're bold enough to wear in the cold), flared pants, cargos, and long maxi skirts.

SHOES?

Who has the time to search through nook and cranny in that damn closet? Just grab the nearest pair!

Wedges, sandals, sneakers -- Converse, Nikes, Adidas, Vans, Pumas, Jordans, Keds, whatever... does anyone wear Keds anymore? -- Doc Martens, Timbs, or your third pair of Uggs for the season. Doesn't matter for this quick run! As long as there's hope to not run into somebody you know but then again if you do, who cares!

ACCESSORIES?

If you thought you over-accessorized now, this portion WILL INDEED put your maximalism skills to the test. Layers upon layers of clothing on the floor just waiting to be picked up in a hurry. Fan favorites include: Flannels for practicality which can either be thrown on swiftly or tied at the waist, a hoodie, and I mean a REALLY large hoodie, with the drawstrings pulled out to tighten the hood over your head as you slide on a pair of sunglasses to hide that look of anguish and desperation on your face. A classical tactic, truly. Hell, add another hoodie underneath it if you really wanna get frisky. Similar to your tank tops -- why stop at one when you have multiples to choose from?! Stack those bad boys and call it a day! Beanies, scarves, headbands, and baseball caps, your favorite stockings that finally ripped, knee high socks you found in the corner because you couldn't find any others to match, Bomber jackets, an egregiously oversized pocketbook that could fit an entire store on its own, and if you still have on all that left over jewelry that you didn't bother to take off before passing out, might as well take those too!

"THE 6 AM REDEYE "

Congratulations! You made it through your holiday vacay ringing in the New Year in high spirits! Unfortunately, it's come to the end of the road. The bittersweet goodbye to the 24 hours of hedonism you've just endured and hello to familiar surroundings through a whole new lens! It's time to squeeze in your overflown suitcases and carry-ons into that Uber and flash your boarding passes because you're 6am flight is awaiting! No need to get teary-eyed about leaving when all the stress in the world takes over going through the long lines of TSA and anxiously double checking whether you're at the correct gate number. And sister dearest, you're gonna need something incredibly comfortable to get through this entire transportational exchange. So, what's it gonna be?

its giving: "Second Gen Kpop Idol Gone Rogue via Airport"

The art of street style is imperative to this mode of transportation. Prioritizing comfort over high-end glamour (for once) but implementing your own characterization to your look not only makes it 10x easier to maneuver around the twists and turns of the aluminum bird's corridor but allows you to feel 10x greater when you finally get some shut eye. Similarly to the previous Hangover period, you'll find the complimenting articles of clothing to overlap both looks -- the only difference is whether said looks are thrown together out of sleep deprivation or detoxed-desperation. Oversized hoodies, sweaters, and tees, matching sweats sets, velour tracksuits are especially high staples for travel requirements. Add in some hair rollers, undereye patches for face puffiness, and a mountain of suitcases you're trying to prevent from spilling over, and you're on your way!

BACK @ HOME REVELATIONS

The night of New Years Eve has passed but our celebrations for the "New Year" are JUST getting started! At a time where we get to come together as a community to express joy, love, and our collectively shared excuse to party for the sake of partying is an experience so near and dear that we should take value and advantage of for as long as we're able to be breathing. This time of year allows us the opportunity of starting over with to pursue our long-lost desires and motivations for our passions, cleaning house from our past and moving forward with bigger and better energy. Its a breath of fresh air, truly, and allows us to be nicer and kinder to ourselves and in turn, our neighbors, peers, and community.
