12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day 7: Gorgeous But Functional Holiday Attire

Hello Divas!

I know, I know. I am late delivering Day 6 and Day 7 of 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas. I was caught up shopping for the luxe kids. I am exhausted!

Days 1-6 focused on beauty and pampering yourself before Christmas Day. Christmas can be stressful, but if you take care of yourself first, you can just relax and enjoy the day.

Cute but comfortable holiday attire is a must during your holiday dinners and parties. Personally, I like a chunky sweater and leggings for casual family dinners and a baby doll or shift dress during holiday parties. The key is to make sure your clothes move with you and allow room for a stuffed tummy. You don't want your full stomach poking out in your holiday pictures. LOL! Here are few pieces I love for Christmas 09!

This Embroidered Dress from Forever 21 is cute and roomy!

I love this Abstract Art shift dress. It is mini but roomy and you can pair it with black or any other patterned tights!

A chunky winter white sweater is always a hit! I will have this with Leggings or Skinny Jeans please.

Toodles!

Purple Is The New Black

Hello Divas!

I hope everyone is having an awesome day! I am currently obsessed with all things lavender and purple. I have always liked lavender, but now that purple is the "IT" color for fall, I finally see its Majestic fabness! I am particularly fascinated with purple accessories, coats, and shoes. Check out a few items I found over the weekend. I am so blowing my budget!

1. Mossimo Large Purple Hobo Bag. I just love this bag. I have been to Target 3x in the past week debating whether to buy it. And you know what I am! It is faux leather, but it is a great everyday bag. Also it is large enough to double as a diaper bag, which is perfect for me and my baby girl. It retails for $22.99 at Target.


2. Lavender and Pink Woven Tear Drop Earrings. These earrings are so cute! You can wear these earrings with jeans, a dress, or skirt. I have seen similar earrings that retail for $20.00. These are only $4!!! Purchase them online here at Charlotte Russe.


3. Street Poet Purple Trench. Purple trenches are so in this season. I love the cut and collar of this trench. Wear this trench and you are sure to turn heads. This trench retails for $248 at Anthropologie. You can purchase it here online or visit any Anthropologie store.


4. Ralph Lauren Purple Suede Slouch Boots. Enough Said. These boots retail for $1150. Visit RalphLauren.com for purchase information.
