New Year’s Eve is low-key for me now that I’m in my late 30s. No over-the-top galas or running in micro frocks hailing cabs with a group of girlfriends for me. Instead, we might go to a pub, have a few drinks and make it home in time to toast the New Year. But since I got these amazing Louboutins on my birthday, I will definitely be wearing these, even if I end up wearing jeans and a top. Read on to find out what the other Glow editors will be wearing.
