The holiday party season is in full swing, sparkling and shmoozing its way ever closer to the event of the year - New Year's Eve! Make sure you do all your "Season's Greetings" in glitzy, glamourous form.
(1) Zara $69.90, (2) Zara $69.90, (3) Aritzia Talulah $70
First on our fashion radar are Zara’s puffy sleeved deep V lace cocktail dress and one- shoulder silk number with rosette decor. Both frocks are ultra chic and romantic, and for under $80 won’t break the bank!
For a non-work related holiday bash, consider this sexy lace dress from Aritzia. But keep it classy by wearing it as a top, pairing it with a low cut cami and a high-waisted skirt – less is more ladies!
(1) J Crew Sequin Cardi $138, (2) FCUK Sequin Spirit $398, (3) Club Monaco Scarlet Silk Mini, (4) Urban Outfitters Sequin & Lace tank $28
For a work party, you might want to stay covered up and conservative. Luckily, and J Crew makes that easy with the Sequin Scarf Cardi. In Pink Champagne, this throw-over is the perfect way to add sparkle to your favourite LBD.
If there’s one thing French Connection knows how to make it’s a party dress, and this season you can’t go wrong with their Sequin Spirit. At $398, it’s a little on the pricey side for FCUK, but with sequins being a style stay through the winter, this frock will not likely be a one hit wonder.
On the hunt for the perfect sequin mini - look no further than Club Monaco. The Scarlet Silk Skirt with silver sequins fits like a glove, and is a definite scene stealer! Pair it with a blazer and some black tights and be totally, instantly, in vogue.
If you own the perfect plain mini skirt but nothing to tuck into it, head to Urban Outfitters. Their Sequin and Lace back tank in black combines two of the hottest looks this season, and shows off the sexiest part of your back at the same time.
(1) Banana Republic Bib necklace $98, (2) J Crew Swarovski Lattice necklace $325, (3) Aldo Pitorak $16, (4) Bebe Accent Fabric $44, (5) ABS Pave Ball Drop $95
Big bold necklaces are the hottest accessory of the year, so make a statement with the Silent Film Bib Necklace from Banana Republic or the Swarovski Crystal Lattice Necklace from J Crew in Butterscotch.
The most exciting (and smartest) accessory I’ve seen in a long time is the stretch ring! Cocktail rings are coming back with a vengeance, so add some dazzle to your finger with Aldo’s version of the Pitorak.
Bebe’s accent fabric earrings in purple are a perfect for spicing up a simpler look, or if your outfit’s got a lot going on and you want a simpler earring with some shine try ABS’s Pave Ball Drop Earrings.
(1) BCBG Sequin Shoulder bag $120, (2) Aldo Lantgen $70, (3) Steve Madden Revolve, (4) Stuart Weitzman Avalon $355
Now the only the shoes and the handbag remain things left before you are covered H2T (in the words of Tyra) are the shoes and the handbag. BCBG MaxAzria’s Sequined Mesh Ruffled Shoulder bag in gold, silver or black is flirty and fun. It can be worn as a clutch or a shoulder bag, adding glam to any outfit for only $120.
For perfect party shoes it seems like peep toes are the way to go (paired with tights of course). Aldo’s satin Lantgen open toe strappy heels in navy are the perfect outfit punch, while Steve Madden (as always) has a great open toe bootie, the Revolve. If you have the urge to splurge, walk proud in Stuart Weitzman’s silver glitter Avalon pumps. These killer shoes will have even the Anna Wintours of the world groveling at your perfectly polished toes.
With your new fabulous outfits in tow, have a sparkly and glamorous party season!
