Jeffrey Campbell Lita in Red Suede

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!

As a kid, I dreamt of filling my pillowcase and then dumping it out to marvel over my profit. Today, I dream of filling my closet with some of these candy inspired pieces. Everyone deserves a treat once in a while, albeit candy, clothing, or accessories!

Make a Big Statement With Brights

Invite brights into your wardrobe. As pictured above, the entire ensemble is vivid, from head to toe, and it still works so well! M&M’s can offer tremendous inspiration, and also blissful chocolatey satisfaction.

[Gold Foil Bodycon Skirt via Topshop.com, $50]

Be Flashy

“There’s no wrong way to eat a Reeses;” similarly, this skirt can do no wrong. It’s bodycon shape gives it instant sex-appeal, while the gold foil print provides the perfect amount of flash. Quick tip: pair it with a chunky sweater and thick tights during the day- there’s no need to shy away from some daytime metallic!

[Tassel Crossbody Bag via Topshop.com, $60]

Cherish Classics

Crossbody bags are a must-have accessory, so why not do it in a funky orange color? The minimalistic gold hardware and fringe tassle detail keep this bag as classic as the candy corn it matches.

[Canyon Fringe Cape via Nastygal.com, $58]

Crave a Chocolate… Cape

There is something terribly irresistible about chocolate. Known to arouse the senses, it has also been proven to be delectably good for you. The feel good look of this cape actualizes the feel good taste of chocolate.

[Knitted Chunky Stitch Jumper via Topshop.com, $80]

Release the Inner Kid Again

Is it just me or do the colors in this jumper match Tootsie Pops quite perfectly? If only the sweater came with some chocolate too! Crewneck sweaters are all the rage, so go for a simple, easy, chic fall uniform:  a crew neck sweater, skinny jeans, moto boots.

[Lace Swing Dress via ASOS.com, $97.78]

Be Sweet

Despite it’s loud color, this red lace frock is delicate and sweet.  The above-the-knee hemline makes sure this dress stay far from fussy. I picture it with an armful of bangles or a great pair of biker boots, but add your own “twizzle” according to your own personal style.

TRICK out your wardrobe or TREAT yourself to some new duds, either way have some sweet fun!

Keep warm and stylish this winter with Topshop’s Champagne Vintage Sequin Beret Hat, for $32! This knitted hat will keep you nice and toasty as temperatures continue to drop, and will immediately jazz up any outfit, adding that cute final touch that can be evasive when trying to dress appropriately for bad weather conditions. The classic beret style is a winter wardrobe staple, but the sequins and color keep things interesting and trendy. This hat would be the perfect addition to nearly any outfit, but would look especially good when paired with darker colors and included to add a flashy splash of color and texture. If you’re in the NYC area, pick up this beret in-store via their Manhattan location on the corner of Broadway & Broome; or visit Topshop.com for their “US site”, and go to “womens “-> “winter accessories” -> “hats”.

Ok I’ll admit it: I’m a sucker for anything and everything in a coral/burnt orange/orangey-red hue (although I’m devasated that the lipstick color looks horrible on me). My fascination with all things coral caught led me to discover these RUSH Tie Up Sandals in coral, or in multi for $70 at Topshop (click on US site, “shoes”, “high heels”, “show all”).  Four inch heels these may be, but I’m willing to carry a pair of flip-flops in my tote to deal with the many blocks between the subway and my summer event destination.
