I love the full skirt and pretty pleats on this Forever21 dress for a whimsical touch. The gold metallic threading also adds a subtle shine that I can't get enough of. To cinch my waist, I “borrowed” (with no plans of returning) my mom’s Badgley Mischka belt. It’s a gorgeous investment with its 1920s art-deco coolness.
My Guess shoes (similar) reflect the season as well. They’re a bright, memorable color but also a closet classic shape. I know I’ll be breaking them out well after the last drop of champagne and the holiday festivities are over.
How do you stylishly stand out in a sea of holiday parties? Bold accessories always seem to do the trick like my Forever21 sparkly headpiece and Chanel red lips.
Huge thanks to my daddy for taking these pictures! A former director of commercials, he’s now a full-time painter. I’ve always admired my dad’s creativity. I remember as a little kid, dashing up the stairs to his studio to watch him paint. I loved to tell him silly stories about my school day as he skillfully blended colors on the canvas. Unfortunately, my artistic talent hasn’t improved as I’ve grown up (I still struggle at drawing stick figures!), but it’s fun that we get to bond over my blog. You can check out my dad’s website here.
