2015 Holiday Lookbook- Style 2

Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas- Calvin Coolidge

Hi loves, apologies for the absence of posts last week but what a week it was. Bridal shower, work, staff lunches, Christmas parties etc.....and, it's Monday AGAIN *sigh*.

This second look from my holiday lookbook is more for the casual to not-so-casual Christmas dinner or other event, it's not overly dressy neither is it completely dressed down. I've been doing some closet scouring lately and realised that I hadn't yet worn this jumpsuit which I purchased well over 6 months ago. Actually, I'd venture to say that I purchased it at least a year ago but never wore it or even remembered that I bought it. I promise that I'll do better in the new year. I have wayyyyyyy too much clothes. 

What I love most about this jumpsuit is the intricate lace detail over the light beige lining. The lining adds such depth and dimension, almost creating the illusion of a 3d look. The downside to wearing a jumpsuit is when it's time for a bio break. Uh! Just the thought of having to undo the outfit totally discourages me from taking that break.

On another note, Christmas is drawing nearer and nearer by the second. What are your plans?

2015 Holiday Lookbook- Style 1

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all year- Charles Dickens

Happy Monday loves!! It's almost Christmas! Yes, I jumped right over Thanksgiving to Christmas. I loovvveee Christmas. It is my favourite season for so many different reasons. 

I've never done this before but this year I decided to create a holiday lookbook for all those upcoming festivities. I've already received a few party invites which is rather unusual but hey, why not?! 

Style 1 is a dress I bought from Team Wardrobe a few months back. I bought it in red and white and  knew that I would style the red one for Christmas. There's just something about red that is synonymous with Christmas. I'd never ordered from this site prior to purchasing these two dresses but was quite impressed with quick delivery to a Caribbean island and the quality of the fabric.

MY STYLE: Denim on Denim

Hi beauties:

I trust that you had a very Merry & Blessed Christmas and spent time with your loved ones and those closest to you. Since my mom died, Christmas has never been the same for me. Although Christmas is about the precious gift that we all received many years ago, it is still a time to share and spend time with those near and dear to you and without mom.........my  Christmas has never been the same. Nonetheless, I hope that you had a beautiful Christmas.

I have also been a little under the weather and haven't left the house much since I have been off work but today, I wanted to do a 'My Style' post so I reached for this denim blouse and a pair of dark denim skinnies and called it a day. As you can see, I didn't even have the energy to do my makeup.

Smart Casual Festive Season Fashion Styling

Hi beauties:

 

It is officially that time of year where party and social events invitations are popping up everywhere and the dreadful question (for the ladies) is, “what do I wear”. Well, sequins are no doubt always on trend for the season. Peplums have also been hitting the runways and streets really hard and are suitable for all occasions. Feeling bold? Pair sequins, peplum and leather to make a killer statement.

Most people and companies are moving away from the stuffy, ball gown, formal Christmas attire and bringing things down a notch to a more comfortable level of Smart Casual attire.

 

Below are a few sets I have created for you. Which one is your style?
