Holiday party attire...Naughty or Nice?!

Now that the madness called Black Friday is over, not to mention all that family time can cause anyone to need a glass of champagne, it's onto one of our favorite seasons to eat, drink and be merry...and that means Holiday Parties!!!  So get dolled up and show your holiday spirit...just remember to ask yourself "does my attire fit the party?"...naughty or nice, that is the question!

Throw on a classic lace shift or preppy silk two-tone to be the talk of the water cooler (in a good way) or to win over the soon to be in-laws...think classic & chic, but still fun & flirty (read: not uptight, not trampy).

Whether you're out on the prowl or just feeling extra vavavoom, naughty is a great option as well:)  Try a curve hugging silhouette in a sassy material to have all eyes on you (or to remind your man just how lucky he is) at your best friends party or maybe even throw your own and invite that hottie neighbor you've been eyeing! (read: sexy & sultry, not slutty).

We also understand that sometimes you need your ensemble to pull double duty, like when you're double-booked for work/friend holiday parties the same night.  Easy, just throw on a blazer/cardi & swap a few accessories to take your look from naughty to nice or back again.  If it were us, we'd hit the office party first, nobody likes a lush at work, just saying;)  Cheers!!

Nice: Beth Bowley, lace shift dress w/ 3/4 sleeve

Turkey Day In Style

Just because you're planning on 'eating your face off' over the holidays (um, or is that just me), doesn't mean you have to look frumpy while doing it!  And yes, Thanksgiving is about family, friends & being thankful...but let's not forget, being thankful to the fashion gods hurts no one!!

Now, not that we're condoning any Black Wednesday shenanigans, but if you're going to partake in them (possibly with peeps you haven't seen in awhile) then why not throw on an effortless chic sweater dress or shirt dress?!

Look all the part of "girl that's got it together" without turning into "girl that's trying to hard"...just don't forget your stretchy pants for dinner;)

Happy Thanksgiving & stay fabulous!!!

Or add a pop-of-color clutch!

Susana Monaco wool sheath dress, keep it classic...

Bon Jour!

Woohoo we've decided to start le blog, connecting to fellow fashionistas everywhere!  We'll be posting weekly on Wednesdays to make your hump day a bit more fabulous...follow us for upcoming events, sales & of course the best of FASHION!

But enough about us...we just can't keep Fall fashion off our minds (and why should we).  We are LOVING trends that are easy to incorporate into any wardrobe...

Luxe Layering is a must & needs to be second nature for any Chicagoan...think tights, boots, fab dress, chic fur (faux if you must) vest, cross-body bag...I say "Good Day dropping temps, even you can't stop me from looking fierce!"

Chic Neutrals are easy to incorporate into any woman's closet, are oh so hot and easily transition from season to season.  Just find the right tone that compliments your skin (read: so you don't end up looking more scary than chic) and pair with your favorite pieces...simple right?!  We love a pop of color to keep it fun, add a bright bag, furry jacket to keep you cozy or just a saturated lip to keep all eyes on you!
