GIFTED: WIN a $100 EXPRESS Gift Card

Photos courtesy EXPRESS. How fantastic is that men's look? I love.

My go-to place for all things celebratory (and where you should really go-to, too) is EXPRESS. The store is currently stocked to the brim with party-ready dresses, gorgeous oversized earrings, and far-from-ordinary menswear, all ideal for the parties, primping and all-important fêting in the weeks ahead. 

EXPRESS has given me a $100 GIFT CARD to give away to you, my dearest RLR friends. Here's how to win it:

1) Leave a comment below telling me how you like to celebrate New Year's Eve. 

2) For a bonus entry, follow @ExpressLife and @realliferunway on Twitter and tweet the following: '@realliferunway & @ExpressLife are giving away a $100 EXPRESS Gift Card and I want to #win it! http://bit.ly/J2TtzI' 

3) Contest closes this Friday at 5 pm. I'll announce the winner on Monday, Dec 23rd.

4) Contest open to residents of Canada only.

GOOD LUCK! XO

Wrecking Ball

Sequined Drop-Waist Dress, $85, Smart Set

If you're like me, you probably don't normally plan your NYE outfit until the 11th hour (literally) but I just bought this glitter bomb dress and think you should, too. Whether we hit up a big party or cute husband and I just end up chilling with Carson Daly 'til the ball drops, I will absolutely be rocking this sparkler on the last day of 2013. 

LOVE the drop waist and the slightly sheer sleeves and you can't even see the best part: a perfect plunging back - sexy but still soignée.  Can't really think of a better way to ring in 2014, can you?
