OOTD: Christmas Day

For my Christmas Day look I really wanted to wear one of my newest purchases... My blue Sam Eldeman heels. So, naturally I reached for one of my favorite little black dresses from H&M to help me out.

I paired my simple black dress with a pair of bright blue fishnet tights. Ironically these happen to match my shoes very well. So, the pairing together made for a bold blue statement which I am kind of obsessed with.

In general, I have been super into colored heels. I like dressing up a simple look with bold heels or colored tights. It's an easy way to add color into a winter look.

Along with my classic look I paired a Christmas gift I got the night before. My new J Crew pearl statement piece is definitely a new favorite of mine! Like my other statement necklace this one literally goes with everything it seems like. I know it will be a great piece to have in my statement necklace collection. (Which is getting kind of out of hand. But, a girl can never have to many necklaces!)

I also finished the look off with my new Michael Kors watch and Alex and Ani and Juicy Couture bangles!

Where it's from:

Dress: H&M

Shoes: Nordstrom

Tights: Nordstrom

Watch: Michael Kors (from Nordstrom)

Earrings: local boutique

Necklace: J Crew

Bracelets: Alex and Ani & Juicy Couture

{I also have been super into bold lips/ lipsticks this holiday and winter season. Who can resist all of those amazing drugstore options out there. My favorites are for sure the Revlon balm stains and their classic lipsticks.}

{Some new additions to my arm party.}

{A few selfies with my girly and puffed hair. I felt very 60's inspired for some reason with my hair all done up. Is it just me or do you agree?}

{Posing and such.}

{My favorite Christmas meal ever and my personal purple sparkly tree.}

Holiday Outfits: Christmas Dinners

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. Naturally you have to pick the perfect Christmas dinner ensemble. Your Christmas dinner or brunch outfits should be three things: fun, festive, and sophisticated.

Most of the time you are with family and friends so keep things classy people. Watch your hemlines, necklines, and don't show to much skin. You can still look cute without showing off what you got!

Stick with classic silhouettes and fun fabrics, colors, and sparkle to spice up your look.

Gold: This dress is a simple and classic look. It's very sophisticated but still fun at the same time. I love the cap sleeve detail and the pleats in the skirt. It gives it a very girly feel. Accessorize your gold dress with a fun pair of red or colored heels then a simple pair of dangle earrings.

Vamp red: For a more sexy look try a leather inspired body con dress. This one may be Burberry but you can re-create this look with a dark red body con. Pair your dress with a fun pair of edgy heels like this pair from Kate Spade. Then a simple pair of black studs will complete your look.

Pop of color: A fun look to try is having a black and white dress with one accent color. This black and white bow dress is a great option. You probably have a simple cotton dress like this in your closet but you can dress it up for the holidays. Simply pair a fun pair of heels with it, a nice bag, and a crystal statement necklace.

Collars: I love a collared dress for the holidays. The neckline is modest enough to wear to a family gathering but it is still fun and playful. Pair your simple dress with a pair of nice flats and a bag and you are ready for a family party.
