It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks for me and I'm sure you feel the same way. Hectic days and evenings filled with lots of holiday/social events seem to be the norm for now. How to pull off the perfect party attire every single time? It's easier than you think ..
1. Plan ahead and
2. keep your favorite things close by. Here are a few more of mine..
"Make a Statement" Jewelry
A single piece will add instant style to your outfit and can be worn with everything from your favorite blue jeans to your best little black dress. My absolute favorite pieces are the ones my mom has passed down to me. I almost never leave home without one (or a few) and love the way I feel when I'm wearing them. Mix your moms (or aunts or grandmas) with more contemporary pieces too.. Try some bold color and go out of your comfort zone a little. Below : Earrings by Kendra Scott - retail prices between $60.00-$75.00. Glass Arty Ring, Yves Saint Laurent, $290.00 All available at Neiman's. Cuffs - on left: Alexis Bitar, Slyabona Petal Cuff $295.00 and right: Pamela Love Brass Pentagram Cuff.

Speaking of Scarves I almost never leave home without one. Whatever the season they add instant style to whatever you have on. Start collecting and throw on with almost anything. You will probably hold on to them for a lot longer than other pieces in your wardrobe so spend a little more on one that you love. Check out the Saks website for your tutorial as needed.. and for the ones below.

My favorite old standbys for too much holiday fun and too much fun in general...
1.Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick- $41.00 Bobbibrown.com
and I quote:
"When this product made its debut in 1993, it was something of a revolution in the industry since it required no brushes or sponges to apply. Beeswax is the key ingredient behind its smooth texture and richness. It’s available in 20 shades, and one stick is sold every two minutes globally, according to the company.

2. Lipstick - any brand will do for me really. I have them all over my house and in every handbag. My mother always reminded me (and still does) when I am in need of some. It really does make you look better..
3. and 4. Visine and Crest White Strips, no explanation needed.
5. Last but definitely not least: I know I have mentioned this before, but Donna Karan Cashmere Mist deodorant is the most amazing product. You can purchase at Bloomingdales in the fragrance department. $18.00 a stick but worth every penny . My daughter bought this for me as a kind of funny gift for my birthday last year...one of the best gifts ever!
