NYE Style

In partnership with

Hello friend,

New Year’s Eve is around the corner. Do you know what you’re wearing? Whether you are the stay-at-home type or plan to party all night long, getting all dressed up to ring in the New Year sets the stage for a confident, unstoppable you in 2026! We say, wear that dress!

In this week’s issue of the newsletter, we turn to some of the incredible fashion brands we’ve featured this year for New Year’s Eve style inspiration. Each piece is timeless and versatile; the kinds of things you will reach for again and again. And if your budget doesn’t allow for something new, you can always recreate these looks with items from your closet.

Thank you to Money magazine for sponsoring this week’s issue of the newsletter. Your support means the world! Now scroll on to reveal the looks we’re coveting to welcome 2026!

Enjoy! 

Sexy, sophisticated and modern, the Jovita Oversized Blazer and Lata Faux Leather Pants are a perfect pairing for a minimalist chic look. The Israella Kobla UNSEEN collection is a treasure trove of contemporary, elegant pieces made distinct, with designer Emefa Kuadey’s signature unexpected details.

 If you’ve been following Genuinely Stellar for a while, you know Amanda Maria is a favourite. We love how she has created a sophisticated evening look in the colour of the season. Sequins head to toe? Yes please! The Sequin Dress in Mohagany is a stunner.

A pair of earrings can be the finishing touch to an alluring New Year’s Eve look. We love the Goddess Moss Agate Earring Charm from bluboho. Add it to your favourite hoops or choose a pair from bluboho’s collection. We love it with the Shine On Emerald Huggie Hoop.

You know those nights out where all you can think about is coming home and putting on your slippers? These slippers are so chic, you can actually wear them to the event in the first place! We love the Audrey Slipper in Champagne Velvet from Mave & Chez. Lined in shearling and built to support the foot, you will leave your stilettos at home for good!

You’ve got the dress, the shoes (or slippers) and the jewellery. Now, what coat to wear? The Anna coat in Osterich from FREED is the perfect topper for an evening look. In faux fur, with tons of texture and a cropped silhouette it happens to look just as great with jeans and a tee.

Home insurance rates up by 76% in some states

Over the last 6 years, home insurance rates have increased by up to 76% in some states. Between inflation, costlier repairs, and extreme weather, premiums are climbing fast – but that doesn’t mean you have to overpay. Many homeowners are saving hundreds a year by switching providers.
