Holiday Style Guide 2012

Happy Cyber Monday! If you're anything like me, I passed on taking part in the crazy Black Friday madness and opted to shop from the comfort of my own living room (and year after year, I never seem to regret this decision). Did I use the opportunity to complete my Christmas shopping for loved ones? No, I bought more holiday attire for myself. Because tis' the season of acceptable sparkly attire, and I'm going to take full advantage of it.

1. Lace Hard Case Clutch, South Moon Under, $48

2. Skinny Jeans in Metallic Baroque Print, ASOS, $70

3. Glam Asymmetric Dress, Tobi, $50

4. Chinese Laundry 'Danger Zone', Zappos, $99

5. Aryn K. Lurex Blazer, Piperlime, $119

6. Sequin Shorts, Madewell, $125

It's always about a little sparkle and shine during the holiday season, but feel free to play around with a few trends as well to keep things current. This year a big fan of the Baroque trend, and these glam skinny jeans and clutch are both great ways to introduce it into your wardrobe without looking too costume-y. I'm also a big fan of cutouts, and this asymmetric dress shows a little flash of skin in the right places. The Chinese Laundry pumps and the sequin shorts will last you the holiday season and beyond, and the lurex blazer will add a subtle amount of shine for any girl who doesn't want to overdo the sparkle.
