Kai Avent-deLeon, owner, Sincerely, Tommy: "I am going camping alone in the Catskills."

Alicia Yoon, owner, Peach & Lily: "I'll be in Colorado skiing and will likely spend the night in with champagne, a fireplace, and close friends. I'll probably be in my worn-in AG jeans that are so buttery soft by this point that I could even sleep in them and a cozy, oversized sweater. For the festive occasion, maybe I'll do a bold lip — Mac Ruby Woo is my go-to classic red — on probably an otherwise bare face."

Karen Lord, Pilates instructor and owner, Karen Lord Pilates Movement:  "I'll be going out to an elegant dinner with my fiancé to one of our favorite restaurants. The chef there is a great friend and always whips up the most amazing vegan dishes for us. I'm going to wear a Saint Laurent dress with my favorite slash-y Margiela boots and most likely my West African indigo 'shawl' (scarf, cape, throw) that I bought at Love Adorned — it has become my 'security blankie' because the indigo has magical powers."

Jessica Schiffer, senior online editor, V magazine:  "Finding someone to tranquilize me, preferably while wearing expensive pajamas that I do not own yet, but believe are vital to my self-worth."

Cynthia Sakai, jewelry designer, Vita Fede: "I really haven't planned for the new year quite yet, but I am sure [my outfit] will be something all black finished off with an abundance of gold jewelry."

Michelle Smith, fashion designer, Milly: "I'm sure there will be dancing — and I'm still deciding what to wear, but it will definitely be Milly."

Desiree Verdejo, owner, Vivrant Beauty: "I try to head to Hudson, New York whenever I can and am hoping to head there for New Year's Eve. My plans revolve around an amazing dinner and breakfast at Bonfiglio and Breads the next day. Hudson has a low-key vibe, so a leather mini skirt, ankle booties. and a fitted sweater will do."

Whitney Pozgay, fashion designer, Whit: "I don't know what my plans are yet, but I have my outfit ready — I'll be wearing a vintage dress covered in giant sequin polka dots."

Phillip Salem, handbag designer, Owen: "Ordering a really fancy meal from this amazing pizza place called Dominos."

Rebecca Perkins, makeup artist and owner, Rouge: "I'll be working at Rouge in flats!"
