Dress for Less and Still Impress

When it comes to holiday parties, or any party for that matter, making an entrance is essential. Although typically 'entrance' looks can cost a pretty penny, but this year I have found some great looks that will steal everyone's eyes at the party, and won't break the bank!
1) Glitter and Glam - perfect for sparkling the night away.

DKNY Jeans Petite Dress, Strapless Sequin Mini
DKNY, Macy's, $98

2) White as Snow - tis the season.
 Jackets
White House Black Market, $268

Casual and Cool for Turkey Day

Thanksgiving is all about people. Finding a look that is worthy for a holiday affair, while still remaining comfortable enought to eat a ton of food,  is no easy feat. There are multiple ways to make this work, but the two I love best are seen below.

1) Slouchy blouse with jeggings and tall boots.
Leith Cashmere Sweater

2) Layered topswith leggings and slouchy slipper boots.

Thankful

I often forget this is the time of year when people think about what they are thankful for, because I tend to be thankful throughout the year. Either way, let us be thankful for colors. It is the color that surrounds us that inspires us to live, breathe and wear it. Show off your thankfulness for color by stepping into some 'real' color this week.
1) Electric Blue

Matthew Williamson, Yves Saint Laurent, Richard Chai Love, Yigal Azrouƫl
2) Poppy Red

Jill Stuart, Donna Karen, Carolina Herrera, Marc by Marc Jacobs
3) Hot Pink

Bottega Veneta, Michael Kors, Zero + Marie Cornejo, Juan Carlos Obando
4) Yellow

Cynthia Rowley, Alice + Olivia, Jenni Kayne, Chanel
5) Color Blocking

Bottega Veneta, Rachel Roy, Alice + Olivia, Elie Saab
This Rachel Roy look (second from left) is my favorite. It combines modern cuts in two very bold colors. Plus, it combines the perfect amount of formality and casualty for Thanksgiving dinner plans.

Rain is Refreshing

If you live in the PNW, rain can seem to be the norm, what we are used to. However, let's not forget how nice it is to not have to walk around in slush all day, or get bundled up like a snowman every time we step out our front door.  When it comes down to it, it's just water. And, it is refreshing. Here are some staples to celebrate the season -
1) An amazing raincoat.
Mossimo Supply Co. Featherweight Raincoat - Rose Print
Mossimo, Target, $29.99

2) Rainboots, of course.
Women's Zetta Solid Rainboots - Yellow

3) An Impossible Umbrella.
