Want to Get In The Party Mood For The Holidays? Here’s How To Make It Work

‘Tis the season to…par-TAY!

Jumpstart your holiday style with festive, fun-to-wear pieces that make you want to get dressed and celebrate the holidays with co-workers, friends and family. The fun factor is crucial, especially when you’re tired after a long, busy day…let your outfits reenergize you. Trust me, it works!

Since you’re likely to be out-and-about during the crazed-filled Black Friday weekend, it’s the ideal time to be on the lookout for goodies to wear to all of your upcoming holiday parties. You might look for an Outfit for rave party, for clubs, for a concert, and so on. There’s so many parties always going around, so there’s so many pieces to choose from. My motto is, “relieve unnecessary stress by getting prepped ahead of time.” You can even influence a large number of people on social media using these trends. However, it’s not possible to suddenly boost your account with your photos and trends. So one option is to buy Instagram followers and likes so that a few of your photos trend on the search wall of interested people. If you’re wondering how to buy Instagram followers, you simply need to look for websites that are legitimate and can boost your account in exchange for money.

Here are some of the fashion and beauty trends that have inspired me to go forth and enjoy this holiday season…and I couldn’t wait to pass them on to you!

These trends are available at all price points in a variety of interpretations, so there’s no excuse not to look (and feel) fantabulously festive and gorgeously glamorous at your next company party, holiday luncheon, neighborhood gathering or New Year’s Eve celebration. Get ready to cheer!

FASHION

• Colorful Lace: Lace is a huge holiday fashion trend in glamorous colors, as well as, black.
• Embellishments Galore: Sequins, crystals, beads, studs…they’ve got the fun factor; go for it!
• Sheer Delight: Sheer panels, arms, etcetera are sexy (yet still provide coverage).
• Mighty Metallics: This season you’ll find metallic finishes in skirts, tops, dresses, shoes, bags, belts and more in a variety of colors…gold, green, red, sapphire blue, silver, bronze, etcetera.
• Cable Knit + Leather: I love the mix of textures in this ensemble…a cozy knit sweater with soft, supple leather. This season there are so many charming cable knit patterns available and, of course, coated/wax leather-like stretch denim is another option too.
• Pattern Pants: They’re just cool! And flirty. And festive. Pair with an untucked top, sweater and/or blazer jacket.
• Black + Winter White: This classic cool weather color combo is widely available this season in a variety of interpretations. It’s ideal for so many different holiday events.
• Tuxedo Jackets: It’s flirtatious menswear at its best. I love the play on masculine with feminine. You can also use a fabric cutter machine to create a one-of-a-kind look for your leather jacket. You can craft those slick, feminine cuts and designs seen on the mannequins in the comfort of your home without breaking your bank account.

ACCESSORIES

• Ankle Strap Heels: These alluring little ankle straps will add a dynamic flair to so many holiday outfits.
• Statement Jewelry: Decadent earrings, bracelets and necklaces are all on trend, right now. Pair bold earrings with a bold bracelet (but not with a bold necklace) – you can even shop women’s bracelets online if you would like to treat yourself to a new piece in preparation for holiday party season.
• Minaudière Clutches: These small handheld clutch bags pack a powerful punch to any holiday outfit.

BEAUTY

• Cat Eyes + Red Lips: You’ve already seen how to do the easiest cat eye makeup trick ever and, now, here’s a quick tutorial on lipstick longevity to try after you’ve found the right shade of red for you.
• Nails: Love this striking sideline nail art by Ann of Andy Heart. I am going to try this technique with black and gold. This limited edition deep red-black Chanel nail polish in Malice is divine too. The color will pair perfectly with so many holiday ensembles.
• Hair: Try this easy 3-Minute Updo video tutorial by Kayley from Sidewalk Ready. Learn how to fake a natural wavy curl from Stephanie at Hair And Makeup By Steph and from Krystal of This Time Tomorrow here. Be sure to check out Mr. Kate‘s DIY sock bun tutorial too. And, finally, I’m loving this side knot ponytail for the holidays. The Beauty Department‘s shows us how-to here.
