Holiday Season Attire 1.01.2014

 Top: Forever 21 (similar) | Skirt: Francesca's

Booties: DV by Dolce Vita | Tights: Express (the best tights...honestly!)

Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here and here) | Bow bangle: Forever 21

I completely meant to post this outfit sometime between Christmas and New Years...but a lot of family time and relaxation took place instead. So, this is a bit late considering that it's now New Years Day, but I'm still loving this outfit! It was my favorite holiday part look from the last couple of weeks. Lately, I've been so into wearing dresses and skirts over tights with boots and booties! It was definitely my go-to for many holiday gatherings.

I hope you had a fun and safe NYE! Thank you all for following along in 2013 - it truly means the world to me. I'm so excited for 2014! It's going to be such a fantastic {and busy} year.

 xo,

Holiday Outfit Inspiration 12.22.2013

With so many holiday festivities taking place, it can be challenging to come up with different outfits that are perfect for each occasion without driving yourself mad! I'm in the midst of 6 straight days of Christmas parties and family celebrations, so I was in desperate need of a little inspiration to keep mixing up my looks and existing wardrobe! There were multiple occurrences (and/or meltdowns) over the weekend where I was wishing I could just buy some entirely new outfits, but with a little inspiration it's totally doable to mix & match your existing wardrobe into some fun holiday looks.

Lately I've SO been loving skirts over tights with riding boots or booties! This is the perfect way to tone down a skirt a bit, since most of us realistically don't wear fabulous heels to family shindigs. Pairing a skirt with a sweater or blouse & some glam jewelry is the perfect way to wear it for Christmas and the colder weather!

For a more casual holiday gathering, I love the idea of a cozy sweater glammed up with a fur vest & some lipstick!! It's warm and very wearable, but still fun.

The cozy aztec cardigan trend is one of my favorites right now! I love that it can take you from leggings & slippers on Christmas morning, to your family meal in the afternoon by just adding some jeans and heels!

Sweater dresses are just perfect for the holidays. They're easy to dress up or down, which is great when you're going from one party to another. I have a new one that I'm planning to pair with black tights & booties on Christmas Eve!

I love this outfit idea for a casual holiday gathering with family and/or friends! The scarf & headband add a festive touch and the overall look is my favorite - 'cozy cute.'

And finally, if you have a fancy Christmas party to attend, this look could not be a better match! Red + leopard are holiday season perfection, and the tights & booties are an adorable wintery addition.

I hope this helped get your creative juices flowing! I'll be back on Christmas Eve / Tuesday with a holiday party look from this weekend! Can't believe Christmas is so soon - EEK.

Holiday Party Look 12.19.2013

Top: Francesca's (similar here & here) | Skirt: Lola by BCBG (similar here & here)

Heels: Prabal Gurung for Target (similar here & here) | Clutch: vintage (similar)

Necklace: J. Crew Factory | Bow cuff: Forever 21 | Spike cuff: Forever 21

I love the idea of a bright pop of color in the middle of winter, especially around the holidays! This top felt so fun paired with a leather skirt, which is perfect for attending a holiday party. **Tights and a blazer or other jacket would of course make this outfit much more practical if you live in a cold area. Unfortunately I'm not sure yet if I'll have anywhere to wear this outfit this holiday season, but if I did this is what I'd wear!

two in tulle. 12.10.2012

Hello everyone, and happy Monday! I'm so excited to be doing a collaboration with the stylish and gorgeous Lily, the blogger behind Lily Says Go! We wanted to show off a fabulous holiday trend and a tulle skirt is such a glamorous party look that we both love. I think that the different ways we styled a tulle skirt really show off our different styles, and I hope that these looks give you some ideas on how you want to style the trend yourself!

Lily and I were both inspired by our history as dancers, and she also drew on her love of old Hollywood movies! Lily was inspired by a skirt she saw at Anthropologie and cut her skirt from an old prom dress (gorgeous job right?!). 

 

Interestingly enough, this skirt was a random purchase from a Target sale rack back in high school, so I love that tulle has become so trendy several years later! For a holiday party look, I wanted to incorporate this pretty sequined-collar blouse from Ali & Kris and I like the fun and girly pairing!

I hope you loved this collaboration! Please be sure to check out Lily's fabulous blog!

xo,

Jacy
