SWWC: How to Shine at your Holiday Party





Every holiday season there are so many events to attend, so how can you set yourself apart and really shine? Try these three tips:
  • Go for a Sultry Fabric Sheen- This year I attended our friends fantastic holiday party at the ultra chic Hotel Washington.  I picked up this little blue Eliza J dress from Ross for $30.  I cant tell you how excited I was to wear this dress! The flared, bell shape and rich, shiny fabric made me feel like a million bucks! The guys suits had an amazing shine to the fabric that made them look extra sultry.  I am always cold so this champagne cover up from Macy's came right on time.
  • Bring the Bling- My girlfriend Kristen had gold leaf invites that said shiny attire encouraged, so I picked up a few baubles from Ross like my necklace and earrings that really made me shine. 
  • Sequins Shimmer- Janelle's amazing emerald  and Kristen's glamorous gold sequined dresses really shimmered in the amazing holiday lights.
How will you shine this season?  I hope you have a shiny, fun and fabulous new year!!!

Authentic Style



Have you ever felt like you put on a outfit that truly reflects your authentic style? Well I have and this was most resent one. From the thrifted wool blazer, leather blocked skirt to my signature coach bag, this outfit felt like home. As I continue on this great style journey I plan for many more windy, authentic days like this where I feel that style, comfort and I are in great harmony. How would you describe your authentic style?

Little Black Dress






This season your best friend will be a little black dress. It is very versatile and with all of the great parties you will be attending it will come in handy. I got this ABG dress at TJ Maxx!  Can you believe it? Here are a few more great LBD's to pick up this season: (1), (2) and (3).  If you already have a LBD but want to jazz it up, add a statement necklace like mine from Bakers.  Trying to take your dress coat to the next level?  Start by adding a chain belt.  It is tons of fun and easy to do. What do you wear with your LBD around the holidays?
