HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! Tired of the same old boring little black dress* for the holidays? Want to stand out at your holiday events among many in the sea of black? 

I know, I know…when it comes to getting ready for all of your holiday parties it can be a bit stressful. You want to look stylish and be comfortable in an outfit that makes you feel good, right? I hear you. And you’re tired of wearing black. Yes, black is chic but it is so expected.

So girls, it’s time to switch it up and do something different with sparkle and shine!

Which is why this time I focused on stylish, comfortable outfits that you can dance, play, and eat in, all the while feeling and looking gorgeous, in something other than your *LBD. And, just so you can get more mileage looking fabulous, I’ve planned these holiday looks that you can wear over and over again when the holidays are over! All it takes is switching out some accessories to change the look. And I’ve got the accessories to do just that!

Accessorize!

Elizabeth Wilmore Designs – Elizabeth Wilmore is the designer of the beautiful jewelry that I have shown. If you like the Baroque Drop Pearl earrings that I wore with the Halston dress, or the Drusy and Pearl Lariat on suede, or any of the other pieces I have shown, contact Elizabeth directly. Her designs are an easy everyday wear that will compliment any outfit. Click on the link and check out all her designs. And when you find something you love, use the promo code: MOQ5OFF, and receive $5 off your order! (Good till 12/30) A little gift from me. 🙂

KJDesignLove Leather Belt/Buckle – Kim Jackson is the designer of these amazing handmade custom belts, and the gold and silver buckles. If  you’re out there shopping you know how hard it is to find a good belt. So, if belts are you thing, you need to look no further!  No belt loops showing should be naked – Get that polished look that an outfit calls for by filling those belt loops with a custom belt!                                

And what about these leather cuffs?!  – These are so badass! Another gorgeous design from KJDesignLove. 

And when you find something you love here, contact Kim directly, and use the promo code: MOQ5OFF, and receive $5 off your order! (Good till 12/30) Another little gift from me. 

Now…as promised, for those of you that love what I’m wearing and just have to have it, here are the links to purchase some of the items. However, don’t wait too long; many of these will sell out! (Unfortunately if you don’t see the link of any of the pieces that I’m wearing, it means it has already sold out. Darn.) And yes, for those of you wondering, some of the links I’m including are affiliate links, which means that I receive a small commission of sales made via the link.

Now, it’s your turn. I’d love to hear from you.  Your insights and inspiration are appreciated so please share your stories in the comments below.

If you have a question also post it in the comment section below.  I check it daily. Since the topic is always about fashion or style no question that you ask will be “off Topic.”

That means as far as I’m concerned, when you ask a question that is the topic. Everyone else who’s reading it can follow up on my answer. There will be no questions that you ask that will be too far off topic because your question will be the current topic. So…ask away!

Oh…and your email address is not “required” even though it says so.  Don’t even ask.

Love,
