FASHION MUST HAVES: Prep for this Weekend's Social Scene

Have something fun you're doing this weekend? Holiday party, drinks with friends, work soiree?

Don't miss today's fashion must-haves for this holiday season. I'm sharing today (instead of Friday) so that you have all week to be inspired and think up your outfit. Thank you so much to my friend Jee-Yun Lee for all of her help and tips!

TOP FIVE HOLIDAY MUST HAVES!!

Start At The Top

Jazz up your wardrobe with an ornate headband. Don't settle for a plain black band. Go for something with a large bow, flower or feather on top.

If It Don't Shine, Leave It Behind!

This season is all about glitter, shine and metallics. If you are a bold person, then wear a sequin dress. If you want just a small dose, then wear a sequin hat or scarf or carry a clutch that is full of bling.

The Little Black Blazer

Forget the shawl or wrap - leave that for Grandma. Cover yourself up with a black blazer - whether it's a boyfriend cut, a bolero or a tuxedo style jacket - it will jazz up your outfit.

Show Off The Legs

Show off what your mama gave you. Pants are out. Wear a knee-length dress or a mini-skirt to show off the legs.

Tap Your Way To Style

Always finish off your look with killer shoes! If you can handles heels, put on platform stilettos. If you can't then punch it up with bright colour shoes like purple, fuchsia or electric blue.
