What to Wear: Thanksgiving at Your Boyfriend’s

by fashion pulse contributor

[Image from FreeWallpapers.com]

So, you’ve scored the invite to celebrate Thanksgiving this year with your boyfriend and his family. With the excitement and anxiety that comes with the invite also comes the dilemma of what to wear. You want to look classic, feel comfortable, and exude confidence all the while wowing them. At FPD, we solved the dilemma of getting dressed by offering a few options to help you look your best, so you can focus on baking the most delicious pumpkin pie they’ve ever tasted!

The Dress

You can truly wear a dress to almost any event. Sheath dresses are timeless and reliable. Remember to steer clear of of ones too short and too tight! Save that for the club, not the “meet the parents” moment. For fall, we favor a sweater dress or a shirtdress with tights. Determine whether or not the affair is normally casual or more formal to decipher between heels, wedges, flats, or flat boots.

Nourish Your [Fashion] Palette

by fashion pulse contributor

When craving inspiration, I really find that I can draw on almost anything around me.  With the cooler temperatures coming and the gorgeous harvest accompanying it, fall foods and foliage have become my newest muse. Thus, my latest creative endeavor; mimicking my surroundings in my fashion/beauty choices.

Cranberries + Covetable Lipstick

This Nars Pure Matte Lipstick ($25) is an instant pick-me-up for the face. The matte finish is appropriate for the day, while ideally provides enough “oomph” for night.  This berry hue is my favorite, but all 11 shades are certainly luscious.

Asos Tailored Belted Ponti Fit and Flare Skirt ($27.94)

Acorn Squash + Adorable Skirt

This mustardy-squash yellow is a great pop of color for fall. Work it in the same way you would a neutral beige for day or jazz it up at night with wedges and a chunky sweater. Either way, the flirty fit-and-flare look makes this skirt a must.

Nasty Gal Boulder Knit- Mocha ($48)

Hot Cocoa + Cozy Sweater

In much the same way that a steamy hot cocoa warms the soul, this mocha sweater from NastyGal.com imparts that super snugly vibe. Whether you prefer a Mocha Latte, Hot Chocolate, or even a  Pumpkin Spice Latte, we can all agree that bulky knits and earth tones are simply perfect for Fall.

OPI “Touring America” Collection, Essie “Very Structured“, Deporah Lippman “Single Ladies“, and Chanel “Peridot“

Nature’s Leaves + Nails

Fall nail colors have shifted from summer’s brights. Auburns, khakis, mauves, apple-cidery shades– you could have a new tip tone for every week if so desired. Don’t forget a little shimmer! Fall’s lacquer collections really offer a variety of shades – statement or neutral.

Free People 2 Pocket Sheer Crop Top ($88)

Pumpkin Pie + Pretty Blouse

Mmm, pumpkin pie. Creamy and divine, every bite tastes like fall. This sheer cropped blouse is a functional, transitional piece as it gets a bit cooler.  The best part? The flow of the blouse is as cozy as the comfort food it mimics.

Forever 21 Pick of the Day: Eliptic Knit Skirt, $17.80

by fashionpulse

Primary colors for spring are a definite- agreed? If you’re getting a little worn out by a see of neutral tones, celebrate the advent of springtime with a splash of red. I call it a splash, but this Eliptic Knit Skirt, $17.80 certainly doesn’t let the bright red steal the show: a jacquard knit with an exposed zipper as well as a spherical print  gives it a funky touch to share the limelight. Come the heat of summer, tuck a jersey tee or crisp button-up shirt into the elastic waist and let the skirt’s silhouette transform your look.

Budget Stylista: Glitz and Glammer on NYE

by fashionpulse

Via our friends at CollegeCandy.com:

So maybe I’m a little late in the game, but 2010 is, like, soon. It feels like only yesterday that I was sitting on my daybed thinking, “this is the last time we can sing ‘Tonight We’re Gonna Party Like it’s 1999′” as I placed 5 too many butterfly clips into my hair and rocked out in my platform gym shoes.

God I feel old.

But I digress. New Year’s Eve is hands down the best excuse to dress up. But that doesn’t mean you gotta splurge on some hot frock that will look great in pictures, but not so great sitting in the back of your closet for the next 2 years because you have nowhere to wear it again. There are plenty of ways to spice up your look for the big night by adding some fun pieces to the stuff you already own. Here are just a few not-a-dress options to ring in the big 20-10.

Skirt:
You gotta rock something shiny on NYE, and this skirt is just perfect. I love red and gold together, which is why I paired this shimmery skirt with a basic red tank. But if red is only your color when your monthly friend comes to visit, throw on a basic black scoop tank or tee, black tights and pumps and this look is good to go.

Romper
There’s something about a romper that just screams, “I’m totally chic.” And this one has just the right amount of sparkle for the special night. You canpair with tights if you’re not in Miami…and shave your legs if you are. Feel free to play with textures, like sequined shoes, chunky tights and a bold cuff. Or keep it simple and throw on a colored bag or bangle for a pop.

Leggings
You already own some leggings, obviously, so dress them up with a bold (and long!) sequin top. You’ll dazzle into the new year and be super comfortable to boot. Just make sure to keep everything else pretty neutral so you don’t look like you just fell out of a Prince music video.

Jeans
I love, love, love this body suit. Yes, it’s a body suit. Yes, body suits remind me of jazzercise videos from the 90s. But tucked into jeans (or a skirt) it’s fashion genius: it’s sexy, fitted, and you don’t have to worry about it bunching. And can we talk about how hot the back is?

OK, so it may be a problem when your New Year’s Kiss wants to get busy…or when you drink too much champagne and have to go to the bathroom every 3 minutes, but it’s probably the most versatile piece you could pick up for the big night. Just think of all the other places you could work this thing. And, really, you can sparkle it up as much or as little as you want. Add a big, bold necklace. Throw on some bangles. Slip into a bright colored shoe. And roll into the new year without looking like you tried too hard.
