Resort is Approaching...

Although it maybe wet and cold down here in Big D, the Resort shopping season is upon us! I can't wait to tuck away all those big cumbersome sweaters and break out all my little flirty dresses.  I am just going to make a short list (I'll keep it down to 3!) of things I am lusting after for Resort.  I am dreaming of going to a beach far far far away- who wants to escort me?

 

Forever 21 Studded Quilted Racer Jacket- $38 - #warmweatherleather #gottahaveit 

Diane Von Furstenberg Tara Sequin Blouson Dress- $698- a splurge- let's wait till it goes on sale!

Stella McCartney The Falabella - $1095- a perfect spring handbag, nothing screams I'm ready for spring quite like a bright yellow! 

Good lord I need a bigger closet!

XOXO

What To Wear To: A Work Holiday Party

Many friends have been asking me what they should wear to their work Christmas events.  Well, easy for me, because I work in a very fashion forward environment where anything glamorous goes.  But, I understand many of my friends are off managing hedge funds, making wishes come true via Make-A-Wish Foundation, and auditing various companies, where sequins and animal print isn't exactly "dress code." Here are my top three picks for dressing cute, holiday-ish, yet professional:

Theory Bonbi Swingy Crepe Dress

DVF Jori Cap Sleeve Dress

Alice + Olivia Victoria Peplum Dress

I would probably add a wrap to the first dress in a fun color.  Feel free to wear fun tights (on trend!) with any of these dresses.  Wear simple pumps to stay sophisticated, but accessorize with fun jewelry to show your personality.  Since your Christmas holiday party is most likely out of the office, cocktails will be served, and this is your chance to have fun with co-workers! 

If you aren't looking to buy anything new, I am sure that you have something in your closet that would work.  Anything can be dressed up with fun shoes or new jewelry.  If you are looking for some new baubles, be sure to check out Charm and Chain (they are offering 25% until Dec. 14 use code: "CC25OFF"). 

Happy Holiday Parties!
XOXO

Second Skin Leather

Recently I attended a presentation by Ken Downing (Neiman Marcus Fashion Director) in which he said, “Leather is the new fabric of our lives.  Goodbye cotton!”  To me, this speaks volumes.  It really is the next huge thing!  I was going to add some leather pieces to last Monday’s post but decided they really need their own column!  Here are just a few of my favorite leather or faux-leather items for Winter.  Keep in mind- they are suppose to be second skin.  Confidence is key! 

YOU NEED LEATHER LEGGINGS.  I don’t care if you are a size 0 or 14, they are a serious winter necessity.  I style mine with a longer sweater/tunic (below left) but feel free to wear a normal top of your choice (below right). 

Neiman Marcus Vince Leather Leggings

Nordstrom's Mimi Chica Faux Leather Leggings

The Vince leather leggings are going you a pretty penny, but being the true shopaholic I am, I have found you a pair that won't cost you more than your weekly Starbucks addiction! I personally own the faux pair and no one can tell the difference! 

I saw this Urban Outfitter's Leather Peplum Top on a friend on Facebook and knew I had to  have it.  Thanks to Kristen K. for finding this gorg top! It looks so great in person and the peplum is so in right now.  

For the daring- this Madewell Zipline Skirt in Leather is HOT HOT HOT.  Leather is going to be huge for spring and I think you will be able to transition this skirt perfectly.  Wear now with: tights, booties and a sweater. Wear later with: black pumps and some fresh-from-the-beach-tan legs.  

I am truly lusting after every piece of Diane Von Furstenburg’s fall/winter collection.  I dreamed about this Medya Leather Dress the other night and was saddened to wake up and realize it wasn’t in my closet.  I am going to have to wait till it goes on sale to purchase, but isn't it so chic! 

XOXO
