brr... how to bundle up, and dazzle in style

baby, it's cold outside! how does one stay fashionably warm without looking disheveled and bulky? here's a few ideas:

• LAYER - wear a dress with tights, over-the-knee socks and boots to stay toasty on bottom; pair a chunky sweater with a sheer turtleneck and a classic 3/4 wool coat on top for a cozy, chic look
• scarves - they go with everything... i love lightweight cashmere, wool blends and the new infinity scarf
  
• boots, boots, boots - flat, slouchy, over-the-knee, riding, motorcycle, etc. whatever strikes your fancy. not only do they look fab, they keep your lower half warm. who would've thought?
  
• legging pants - a wondrous marriage between your incredibly comfy leggings, and tight but sexy skinny jeans. wear these in place of either, or layer them under a dress for extra warmth
• the perfect winter coat - whether its a gorgeous cashmere Burberrys or a feminine goose-down, make sure it's timeless, tailored and weather-appropriate
  

ok. you're nice and warm and that's fantastic, but what about holiday party attire? here are a few great ways to shine at all your upcoming events:

• sequins - a little sparkle never hurt anyone! go all out with a sequin mini dress or tuxedo-style jacket, or keep it subtle with an embellished cardigan
• statement necklace - you've seen them all over the magazines and in the stores. fall in love with one, buy it and wear it with your lbd, white t-shirt, whatever. you will get compliments, i promise
• legwear - it changes everything, literally. pair your go-to lbd with opaque tights and booties for the office party, then transform your look with nude fishnets or a metallic flecked tight with your sassiest shoes for the real parties... champagne flute optional

now go forth with confidence and show the world that you know how to bundle up outside, and work the room in sky-high heels for the holidays inside. cheers!

stay tuned and always stay stylish
