Christmas has passed and now here we are staring 2017 in the face as it approaches. Let’s talk about some New Year’s Eve party fashion. How do you spend the evening? Are you at a party with friends, or do you spend a quite night in celebrating the new year?

If you have a party to attend, dress up and have fun! Consider wearing something shiny and sparkly.

New years party

 

I love the rose gold sparkle paired with black heels and clutch.
Maybe you’d prefer something a little different, but still with a wow factor.

If your party requires something a little more special and elegant than those options, what about this stunning dress.

Alright, not all of us have a party to go to that requires something that gorgeous or glamorous. A simple but elegant dress is a nice option.

If a dress isn’t really your thing, some trendy slacks with a stunning blouse is another great option. I love the black with some gold accessories to ring in the new year.

What about if you’re spending the night in celebrating with your special someone? I’ve got you covered there too 😉

Just because you aren’t attending a high fashion party doesn’t mean you can’t shop for something new, fun and special to wear.
What is your New Year’s Eve like? Do you party up with your friends, or watch the ball drop sitting on the couch with your significant other? Whatever you do, wear something fun and have a great time!

Christmas is 2 days away!!! Some people dress up for Christmas Eve and Christmas, some people choose to go casual. Let’s look at some gorgeous and comfy ideas.

I love a beautiful colored coat with a neutral dress. It looks so classy and elegant.

Wish 🎄

 

And the opposite looks good too; a red blouse with a cream coat. Don’t forget the red heels!
Have yourself a Merry little Christmas!!

 

Of course you don’t have to wear red to dress up for Christmas

I’m more of a casual dresser; a nice sweater and some comfy skinny jeans is my style. I love this blanket scarf!

You can still wear a pop of color if you like to dress casual.

What’s your style on Christmas Eve and Christmas ladies? Do you dress up or are you more of a casual dresser?

Almost one week away from Christmas ladies, and I know a lot of women who like to wear a new little something for the bedroom around this time of year as a gift… let’s talk about some good options.

A gorgeous, deep, jewel toned burgundy outfit is a great choice. This color looks great on every skin tone and is a great alternative to the flashy red that most companies use.

Today we’re gonna talk about something not very practical for everyday wear, but you hear a lot about it this time of year. The Ugly Sweater. Many offices and friends have parties for who can wear the ugliest sweater. Personally I feel like any Christmas or Holiday type printed sweater is now classified as an Ugly Sweater, whether it is truly ugly or not. While your sweater may be unsightly, that doesn’t mean that your whole outfit needs to be awful (Unless you want it to be!). Let’s look at some ways to style your ugly sweater.

This one of course caught my eye.

Ugly Chirstmas Sweater.. Ms. Scrooge

 

The sweater may announce your idea here, but the outfit itself is not bad. Some spiked ankle booties and colored skinny jeans bring this sweater into an everyday outfit.
Try pairing your ugly sweater with a cute, flirty skirt.
CHRISTMAS TIME

 

You can always dress it up a bit more with some gorgeous colored heels.

And of course you can always just own the ugly-ness and put together an overall ugly outfit.

What does your favorite ugly sweater look like? How do you like to wear it? Do you attend a party for ugly sweaters?
Stay warm in your ugly sweater ladies!

Let’s talk about Holiday parties again. I know we’ve talked about dresses before, but I want to talk about them again! It’s so fun to go dress shopping and try different styles on and really see what you like. But if you already know what styles suit your body, have you thought about renting a dress? Yup, that’s right; renting a dress.

Rent the Runway ladies!!!!

It’s more than just dresses ladies, but let’s focus on those today. I love that you can filter your choices for color, style, even shape.

Their prices are very reasonable, and they let you choose a second size of the dress for free in case your original size doesn’t fit. There are plenty of reviews for each dress so you can see what other people feel in regards to the sizing. Now let’s get to the fun part; sharing some of my favorites I found!

Simonetta Gown by Slate & WillowSimonetta Gown by Slate & Willow

Slate & Willow $100 

Karla Dress by nha khanhKarla Dress by nha khanh

I could share images with you all day long of dress I find. Look at those prices ladies! I would happily pay $60 to rent a dress and be able to shop and try on in the comfort of my own home, wouldn’t you?!

They also carry a variety of gorgeous clothing pieces from tops, bottoms, jumpsuits & rompers, and jackets. You could even rent a dress for your glamour shoot with us!

So tell me ladies, what do you think about renting a dress or an outfit for your upcoming party? Have you used Rent the Runway before? What was your experience? Can’t wait to hear your story!

There’s a local store that I have fallen in love with. There are a few storefront locations and you can also purchase online. The store is Francesca’s.

Let me share some things I found online that I love. It was hard to narrow it down because I really could share almost everything.

Francesca's

 

These frayed jeans look great, and priced at only $44 they’re a steal! I love the lace-up back of the right sweater, and the cross-over blouse on the left looks great. Either top could be paired with the jeans.
Another set I put together to show you are some of their dresses. There are great everyday casual type and some for the upcoming holiday party season.
Francesca's dresses

 

I love these formal dresses! There really is something for everyone. They even offer plus size clothing online.
Francesca's plus dresses

 

Francesca's plus tops

One thing that I really love about their website is that they show some different outfit choices. For example, when I brought up this top, underneath it had these three different outfit options. Love that! It can be nice to get another take on an outfit choice.

Francesca's outfit

 

Take a look around their site ladies. There is a storefront location in Downtown Los Gatos and one in Oakridge mall, that I know of. Shoes, jewelry, tops, dresses; there are so many options!! Share with me what you found that you love!

Pea coats seem to be a perfect winter staple. They are so beautiful and very versatile. I’ve seen so many women wearing them while out and about, and I always admire them.

The best thing about a pea coat is you really can wear them with any outfit. They look great with a dress or skirt, jeans or leggings. There are so many ways to wear it.

A stunning colored coat really dresses up an outfit.

Sweet colors

 

Love the addition of the scarf in this one, just because you’re wearing a coat doesn’t mean you can forget to accessorize.
...for Friday
I love the red and black combination! Just like the pop of color in the blue jacket above, a neutral outfit can really make a rich colored coat stand out.
Festive Style

 

A pea coat can be great for a nice, casual look with jeans too.
happy holidays

 

Or for a dressed up look with jeans!

Do you have a pea coat? Have you been wanting to get one but don’t know what you would wear it with? The answer is everything! You can’t go wrong with adding one of these coats to your wardrobe. Now is the perfect time to get them as I’ve seen one at almost every store I’ve been to.
Stay warm in your new coat friends!
