Sunday Style: Happy Holidays!

With Christmas just around the corner & Holiday parties in full-force, we thought this Sunday should be dedicated to that special Christmas or Holiday Party that you will be attending this upcoming weekend. We want to make sure that all of our fashionista's are prepared this season! 

So, let's begin with our look for the "family holiday party" that you have to go to every year. We think that simplicity is key to any family gathering this season. You want to show off the holiday cheer without showing off too much skin. 

The perfect piece is the Charlie Jade Amy Romper in Forest Green that you can pair with tights and a blazer. 

Next up is the night out celebrations with your girlfriends! Head out downtown, to the local pub or bar in this little number from Lovers + Friends...a girl can never have too many LBD options, can she? 

Pump this look up with some simple nude heels & a statement ring. Trust us, you will be turning heads when you rock this! 

And last, but not least...your company Holiday Party! At company Holiday parties you want to make sure that you look appropriate, while still keeping it fun. This is your time to shine, ladies! And nothing screams shine more than sparkles! 

Make their jaws drop in this Lovers + Friends Rosegold Sequin dress. Pair with tights to keep it classy and make sure to stomp around in some lace up booties! 

Happy Holidays, Fashion Fanatics! We hope you have a great Holiday season with amazing family & great friends. Cheers!

Or for a more conservative look ,the two dresses below give more coverage but still are equally as sexy. If you still feel you are showing too much skin or know you will be freezing during the festivities, pair with black opaque tights and booties.

Weekly Style: Charlie Jade

What would a girl do without the essentials during the winter weather? 

I know that I would be completely lost with my 3 basic essentials- 

a comfy romper, a sleek blazer and a stylish bootie. 

For this week's styling, we are featuring the Charlie Jade "Amy Romper" in Dark Green. To turn this casual romper into a classy outfit, layer it with a off-white blazer and add some gold accessories. To fight off that cold winter weather, throw on some opaque tights! 

To finish it off, put on those Michael Antonio booties and hit the town!
