Tis the season to sparkle and it’s never too early to start planning some holiday style. It dawned on me that Thanksgiving and Hanukkah are just around the corner, as this year the festivities for my fellow MOTs will be a ‘Thanksgivukkah’ (the first night of the feast of lights falls on America’s grateful day).
But when it comes to colors, it’s not all about Blue, Red and Green — as metallics are sure to make quite a statement this season, and there are a few pieces I have my eyes on.
Leather top & skirt: TOPSHOP has done it again! Ever since I saw Kate Bosworth rock this skirt at Lucky FABB in NYC, I’ve been thinking about it. It’s chic, fun and a bit edgy. I specially liked the way she paired it with a leather top from her collaboration and Stella McCartney wedges. Though these pieces are a bit pricey, they are a good investment that will take you for many seasons.
Fun Baubles: These pieces will have you shining from head-to-toe! A dramatic necklace like this one from ZARA is perfect for a little black dress or even a chunky sweater. Bracelets add a bit pizzazz and this one from Mulberry is timeless, and as for earrings, these Rj Graziano spike drop earrings will take you from day to night. Remember that if you want to go for a classic ladylike feel, a headband like this one from Banana Republic will do just the trick.
WARNING: These accessories are not all meant be worn together. Remember to balance a chunky necklace with studs or long earrings with a delicate chain, as it is nice to create contrast. As to bracelets, it all depends on your mood.
Clocking in Style: Everyone needs a nice watch like this Michael Kors, because when you have lots of places to be in one day, it’s certainly not cool to be fashionably late.
Aviators Galore: For me, eyeglasses are a year-round affair, especially since the sun tends to make an appearance even on the grayest of days! Aviators are slick and perfect since they are a classic frame that pretty much works with most face shapes. These pair from TOMS is polarized and very on trend with the mirror-like lenses that are now en vogue.
Naughty or Nice Sandals: A pair of high heel sandals will transform any girl into a glamazon, and they are perfect for all of those affairs during the season! Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, these stilettos from BCBG will bring your games to their A-game!
Bag it with Sparkles: A cute clutch is always a conversation starter and this one from Karen Millen is elegant and perfect to stash that phone, keys, lipstick and cash.
