Dressing Festive

Tis’ the season to dress festive and I’m all for it! With Holiday party after Holiday party and Christmas in under a week I’m truly excited for the festivities. Over the last few day’s I’ve seen so many people dressed in their Holiday finest and it’s great to see how everyone’s dressing. It really puts an emphasis on the Holiday’s and fun to have with friends and family. I’m so ready to be merry and spend quality time with my boyfriend and his family and I’m even more excited for him to open up his presents. I thought long and hard about what to get my boyfriend. He is very particular and told me not to get him anything (yeah right). It’s so fun shopping for men and being that I don’t have the chance to do it often and this is our first Christmas together, I had to go all out. This outfit is perfect inspiration for a holiday gathering, gift giving or dinner with friends and family. I love these cropped bell bottom pants too (one of 2015’s biggest trends).

I am totally smitten with this look. The uniqueness of the sweater and the crop of the pant’s which show off the main event, the shoes, all works together in perfect harmony. I picked this thick knit bag up recently at the Derek Lam Sample Sale. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe It’s very interesting and I’m sure it will be one of those pieces that I keep and pass down. Bell bottoms and cropped bell bottoms have made a huge comeback this year. I’ve been wanting to dabble in the trend and found the perfect opportunity during Zara’s Black Friday Sale. These cropped denim pants were my one and only purchase during all of the Black Friday & Cyber Monday sales. I’m glad I picked them up because they are the perfect length to compliment my growing collection of fun and festive shoes. Lancome sent me an awesome gift box of holiday makeup recently and I’ve been indulging in all of their matte pencils and lipsticks. I was hesitant at first but the collection is really amazing. The pencils glide super easy and you don’t even need a liner. The matte is lovely and creamy and its much easier to apply than my normal go to Stila Fiery Lipstain. I’ll be sure to do a video review of the Lancome Holiday Collection soon.

I’ve been working on my Fashion Steele NYC 2015 Review Magazine! I’m so excited to share it with you. If you haven’t already make sure to check out the Fashion Steele NYC 2014 Review Magazine if you haven’t already!
