Looking Chic for the Holidays

Longing to look lovely under the mistletoe? Wanting to wow them at the office soiree? No need to be stressed about getting well dressed! Here are some simple tips to look chic for the holidays.

The holiday season can be a veritable minefield of dressing quandaries. Elegant casual? Dressed-down chic? Semi-formal festive? What does it all mean?!

My favourite pick for looking elegantly casual is a luxurious pair of velvet jeans. So simple, yet so chic – they add instant festive style. Pair them with your favourite flirty top, a cozy cashmere sweater or a sharp fitted blazer and they will take you almost anywhere! All the comfort of a pair of jeans with the added flash of velvet, what could be better?

Need to step it up a notch or two for a more formal event? The holidays are a perfect time to break out the shine and sparkle. A stunning satin number will ensure you stand out in a crowd and sequins always add sizzle. Make sure to keep the rest of your ensemble fairly simple – a sleek pair of black pointed-toe shoes and simple jewellery will round it all out to perfection. Leave the blinking lights to the Christmas tree!

If you’re not sure what the dress code calls for, a sexy little black dress is always the answer. This is where you can have fun with your accessories. Why not pile on the pearls or slip on a pair of scarlet shoes to make that LBD sing.

The most important tip for looking fabulous is to feel comfortable & fabulous in what you are wearing. Nothing is more attractive than a woman who exudes confidence and happiness. Know your body & what flatters your shape and style. Don’t feel like you have to follow a certain trend to be fashionable – the most beautiful women in the world are the ones who have developed their own personal style and stick with it.
