Holiday Party Dresses

What's your take on holiday party dresses this year ... Long? Short? Sparkly? Classic black?

Whatever dress you'll be donning, here are a few tips:
1. Stay warm with cozy tights and sexy booties.
2. Showing some skin? Top your dress with a beautiful, long winter coat.
3. Since your dress will be doing most of the work, go easy on the accessories.
4. There's no better time for a stand out manicure than the holidays.
5. Up-swept hair looks polished and sexy.
6. Go easy on the eye makeup and try a bright red lipstick.

'Tis the Season For Statement Jewelry

With Halloween behind us, it's time to look ahead to the holiday season by shifting our focus from costume parties to cocktail parties. It's now the time of year when social gatherings are at their peak, and you may be tempted to purchase a new selection of party dresses. In lieu of a shopping spree, dig out your little black dress and compliment it with statement jewelry.

Originating from sunny Florida, Danielle and Jodie Snyder have produced bold jewelry since 2008 with the launch of their label, Dannijo. Now residing in New York, the pair continues to work collaboratively at expanding their jewelry collections with eclectic yet elegant pieces. Always creative and rarely boring, Dannijo designs are chic concoctions of jewels and hardware. By softening rough elements with feminine touches, their line caters to both rock chicks and girly girls alike. With their Holiday Collection, the Snyder sisters offer an arrangement of quintessential Dannijo pieces that capture the spirit of the season. From sparkling Swarovski crystals to charming embellishments, each piece provides the right measure of festiveness. 

Investing in statement jewelry and alternating pieces with your LBD is an effortless way to prepare for your hectic holiday schedule — not to mention it's appropriate to wear year-round. So, as you work your way from party to party, be sure to sprinkle yourself with a dash of Dannijo before stepping out the door!
