Be Dazzling Holiday Dressing

by

be-dazzled

Put on your most glamorous glitterati look this holiday season. Pair black with shimmery crystals and sequins for a festive look. Get dressed up with these pretty items for the office party, fetes with friends or post-shopping cocktails. Combine black pieces you already own with updated accessories. Be sure to combine just a couple sparkly items (like a cocktail ring!) and accessorize with clean solid black accessories such as shoes for a truly dramatic holiday statement look. Wear a sequined blazer over skinny black leggings. Or why not wear a sequined mini with a black tee and leather moto jacket? Cover up in opaque black tights and non sparkly shoes for a streamlined leg extending look.  Top it off with some super glossed-up lip shine and you’ll be all set for your best holiday look ever.

Wardrobe Wish List: Belted And Buckled Bootie

by

From our friends at CollegeCandy.com:

I love clothes. I have a closet full of them. And 2 dressers. And an under-bed storage thingy. Yet, when it comes to getting dressed I tend to go for the same things every time. I don’t know if it’s laziness or just a lack of creativity, but I always find myself in the same outfit: a black shirt and jeans.

It’s boring, I know, but I just never feel the desire to try a bunch of things on or mix and match what I’ve got to create a new and more exciting look. I tend to spruce my outfits up with a fun bracelet or a cute clutch; basically, the easiest things I can find.

And I’m 100% confident there is no better way to add some cool to my boring looks than with these Belted and Buckled Booties from Anne Michelle. Buckles are huge this season and I know why. Just adding them to this basic black bootie takes it from just another black shoe to a total fashion statement.

These boots scream “I’m cool and, damn, I look good!” They’ll turn up the volume on my weekend uniform and they’ve even inspired me to bust out those cute skirts and tights I’ve got crammed into my drawers somewhere. (I mean, for real, look how hot they look with lace tights!)  I can pair them with skinny jeans for Thanksgiving dinner with the family or I can toughen up that sparkly little dress I picked up for New Year’s Eve. Whatever the outfit or occasion, it is impossible to look boring or blend in with the crowd with these booties on.

Looks like I’ll have to find some room in my closet because I’m going to make these mine. Watch out, black flats; you’ve been replaced.

From our friends at thefind.com:

What is more becoming at a holiday party than a pair of decadent strappy sandals paired with your favorite little black dress? The shoes can make or break your look. Yes your ballet flats may be more comfy than your sky-high pumps, but it’s time to celebrate – why not break out your most daring look and allow your feet to suffer for a few hours. The looks you get will be worth your pain and suffering! Remember moleskin, more moleskin and Band Aid Blister Block!

First up is the sweetly sexy rose embellished Rene Caovilla Rose Sandal (upper left, $1,095.00 at Neiman Marcus) in black satin. This high-heeled tower of a shoe is delicately crafted in Italy of satin with an ankle strap and rose detail on the t-strap and toe. This 5-inch high heel has silver hardware. Pair these beauties with your favorite LBD and accent with a sparkly sequin silver clutch and over the top crystal earrings. You’ll be the belle of the ball with this can’t miss Spotlight Sequined Pump (upper right, $795 at Bergdorf Goodman). The sequin embellished pump will add a sparkle to your step; they are adorned with Grigio sequins and a pretty bouquet of pearls on the vamp. These peep toe sequined pumps have a hidden platform and a 4 3/4″ covered heel. Tory Burch’s Iona Pump with Stones (bottom right, $450 at Tory Burch) is a dramatic way to add a fun and fearless look to your holiday dressing. The black satin caged sandal is embellished with chunky stones and closes with a Tory Burch logo zipper up the back. Lanvin’s fabulous Metallic leather sandal, (bottom left, $1,040 at Net-a-Porter) is the perfect finishing touch to your fiercest holiday look. The 1-inch platform touts a dramatic shape and gold gilded cutout detailing, black piping, a sling back and a silver tone angled heel.
