Holiday looks that shine

That wonderful time of year is upon us were weekends are booked with holiday parties and friends from all social circles come together for holly jolly festivity. Make sure you feel like the star on top of the tree with the ultimate winter look. After all, twinkling lights make for the perfect backdrop to any pose.

Naughty vs. Nice

Are you on the naughty or nice list? Why chose! Mix up your party outfit by pairing nice lace with naughty touches of velvet and slits. A bad-girl bold lip paired with a lady-like manicure is the perfect contrast.

Mix & Mingle

With rich fabrics like tartan plaid, velvet and metallics surrounding the holidays, it's time to upgrade the fabrics that you're wearing out and about. Stand out from the crowd by mixing dramatic prints together. The key here is to mix patterns of different colors to help create distinction in the look. A touch of metallic gives an otherwise bulky look some movement.

Go Bold

We can all agree that the holidays are magical. Arrive at the occasion ready to flaunt your own magic by going big and bold with your favorite winter trends. A fashionable turban paired with thigh-high boots makes for a daring pair.  Show a little skin to keep the look fresh with a cold-shoulder top and a slitted skirt. Cut-outs help balance the heavy velvet.

Interesting Lines

Don't let the best line of night be "So do you come here often?". Update your LMD (little metallic dress) by opting for an asymmetrical style. Asymmetrical cuts create an instantly chic look. Keep the hair and makeup simple so the dress can do all the talking. Balancing all your holiday parties has never been easier with off-balance cuts.
