Celebrate in style with our top fashion picks below, to get you popping those bottles into 2019. Check out our previous post for our New Year's Beauty Edit - with must have products that you need, to create the perfect look for celebrating the arrival of the new year.

The iconic Dionysus. The bag that has been seen, absolutely everywhere. BUT WAIT, this one is different. Okay... it's slightly different. It's smaller which means more compact, and honestly so perfect for a night out. It's roomy enough for just the essentials, such as your phone, card holder and a lipstick. The crossbody style means that you can wear it close to your body, so there'll be no need to worry whilst you're on the dance floor.

Laid-back approach with a chic Parisian attitude. This L'Agence plush black velvet camisole, can be easily dressed up or down. Pair with the featured Naeem Khan Embellished Pants, or ripped style skinny jeans, slip on some of you favourite heels, or sneakers, throw on some layered jewellery and a blazer - you'll be good to go!

Whether you favour the fresh face, dramatic smokey eye, or the bold lip, New Year is the ideal time for a sophisticated glam look. We're thinking; dramatic false lashes, shimmer, sparkle, and a pop of statement colour. We've created a New Year's beauty kit, with cult classic products that are a must have in your collection, and are perfect to use, however you may be celebrating! Take a peak below at our top beauty picks.

Embellishing the complexion with fresh glowing radiance. Made with white rose and cotton flower plant cells to soothe and protect the skin, as well as SPF 15. Sculpt the face by sweeping over the top of the forehead, chin and bridge of the nose. For a sun-kissed effect chose a shade darker than your natural skin tone, and create an alluring natural glow.

To help keep your make-up in place for the night, sheer out foundation, or moisturise and soothe tired skin, opt for MAC's lightweight mist. Packed with vitamins and minerals, infused with a blend of green tea, chamomile and cucumber to gently soothe and refresh. Comes in 3 delicious scents from rose, coconut and lavender. Spritz before or after makeup application for an instant boost of hydration, and add the finishing touch to a look.

Bette is a gorgeously rich, burnished amber-gold shade. An easy to apply, water-infused cream eyeshadow, containing Vitamin E for hydration. Glides effortlessly along the lids, without dragging along the delicate eye area. Apply with either a brush or finger tips on the entire lid, or highlight the face with a splash of colour, in the inner corner of the eye. Would match perfectly with the featured NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment. 

Ready to bat your eyelashes with the Delilah Definitive Volumising and Defining Mascara? Made with olive waxes, and comes with a distinctive Y-shaped mascara wand to ensure that application is easy, and that instant drama and volume are added to the eyelashes. Formulated with a stretchable film that lengthens each individual lash, while the olive waxes create a flawless finish that is free of clumps. Create a soft brown smokey eye, and swoop over the eyelashes to finish.

Soft gold with pinky peach undertones - what better way to celebrate the New Year than with BECCA's Champagne Pop Highlighter, the bestselling shade in the Shimmering Skin Perfector collection. The creamy formula is velvety soft on the skin, creating an ambient, dazzling glow and boosting the complexion even on your dullest days. Enriched with ultra-fine, multi-toned luminescent pearls, replicating sunlight on the face without appearing glittery. Light up the room, and apply onto cheekbones, cupid's bow, and underneath the brow bone.

Comfortable to wear on the lips, with a lightweight feel, and providing a smudge-resistant finish with a long wearing hold. The NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment is a long-wearing liquid lipstick, so whether you're dining out, or drinking into the early hours of the morning, this beauty product should have your back. There are a wide range of matte shades to choose from, but we've selected 'Don't Stop' - an intense red shade suitable for all skin tones, plus you can never go wrong with a red lip, especially on New Year.
