Don We Now Our Favorite Apparel: Holiday-Hued Inspired Dressing

by

Jeffrey Campbell Lita in Red Suede, $159.95

Holiday cheer is in the air as we are inspired to shop, shop, and shop some more! In the latest edition of “Nourish Your [Fashion] Palette,” we have found more reasons to indulge in fashion related fun. While holiday foods call for tradition and satisfaction, holiday clothing is all about sheer delight.

May your days be merry and bright

Traditional Christmas cookies are bright and cheerful, and certainly make a sprinkled statement. Make your own statement with color this season! For example, try red pumps like the pair pictured above from Jeffrey Campbell or a slouchy Deena & Ozzy Slouchy Red Beanie like this one from UrbanOutfitters.

Topshop Zip Front Faux Fur Coat, $220

Naughty or Nice?

If you’re wild enough to down some eggnog, you’re ready to don a fur coat, even if it’s faux! Maintain a neutral palette, but still have spunk with a creamy statement coat like this one from Topshop.

Topshop Foil Velvet Flippy Tunic, $64

Burning Bright

Set the room ablaze in more ways than one. Metallics are ideal for holiday gatherings as your ensemble delicately catches and reflects the lights around you. Be prepared to shine like Hanukkah gelt!

Topshop Knitted Short Cable Cardigan, $84

Winter Whites

Meet that first snowfall with a sensational cozy sweater like this cable-knit cardigan. Don’t shy away from winter whites this season! There are plenty of soft knit options to keep you toasty.

Zara Blazer with Elbow Patches, $89.90

Gingerbread Men[swear]

The menswear trend is a great way to stay casual, but look put together for the holidays. Why not try a classic schoolboy blazer in a ginger-brown color? The elbow patch details are the icing-on-the-cookie!

ASOS Red Pom Pom Mitten, $10.14

Enjoyable Embellishments

The jelly filling in these Sufganiot, traditional Hanukkah deep-fried donuts, mirror the cute red pom poms on the gloves. Deep fried translates to comfort food — it makes you feel warm inside. Here, gloves for the hands are like food for the soul.

Stay festive with FashionPulseDaily and Happy Holidays!

The Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide

by

It’s happened to all of us: someone presents  a gift and… uh oh, we’ve got zilch, nada, nothing for them. Panic sets in as we run through our brains for any gift we can potentially scrounge up, or worse, “re-gift.”

We want to make sure these situations never happen again, or when they do we are as prepared as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled our very own Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide. The following selection has a variety of gifts– from quirky to chic– for every person on your forgotten list (oops!). Never feel unprepared again, or at least not during the holidays!

For the techie…

Kate Spade iPhone Cases, $40 -Let’s face it; none of us can endure life without our beloved technological gadgets. We’re always looking at them, so why not style them?

For the workaholic, or the friend in need of organization…

For the cold lover…or hater…

For the gym rat…

It may only be July but previewing Banana Republic’s Holiday 2011 collection has already sparked the holiday spirit in me. I found myself counting down the months until sparkle, lace, and satin. The collection included vibrant yet warm colors, and jewel tones mixed with the perfect amount of sexy, tasteful leopard print. A sequin-adorned skirt, paired with a structured blazer, topped off with a playful feather clutch is this season’s modern look with a romantic twist. Each piece will add some femininity and luxury to any woman’s winter wardrobe.

The only thing better about the holidays, than the fashion, is gift giving! Continue reading…
