The holidays are upon us meaning endless feasting, food comas and gifts.
The weather gets a little cooler (well, maybe) and the lattes are filled with cinnamon and artificial pumpkin seasoning. The highlight of this time of year is without a doubt the classy Christmas parties. We're talking pearls, sparkles, velvet and Kylie Jenner cosmetics Christmas collection. However, as with any party there are specific do's and don't's for this season of celebration and thanksgiving.
1. Winter means darker shades.
When picking out a dress, the go to colors for a christmas party should always be burgundy, forest green or black. Put the white shoes away, this isn't the June yacht getaway. This is also a great opportunity to bring out the darker shades of lipsticks, try some maroon, plum or even darker brown shades. It may be a white Christmas but your dark color scheme can finally match your soul.
2. Eggnog; sip slow live fast.
Once again this is CLASSY Christmas not Project X. Don't be the girl who has too much spiked hot cocoa and persists on standing on the table and belting out "the 12 days of Christmas." But you're with your friends and family so why not have a little fun?
3. Calories don't count during the Holidays
Nobody likes the girl who turns down the cookies because she's "gluten-sugar-dairy-substance-happiness-free right now". It's Christmas and you know just as well as I do there is nothing better on this Earth than cookies shaped like snowmen. Do no deny yourself the pleasures in life.
4. Sparkles on sparkles on sparkles.
Especially on New Year's you should be so decked out in sequins that people are blinded. This is basically the one time the year it is acceptable to be a human disco ball and be told you look cute af.
5. Faux fur. Yas.
Nothing says class like fur. Faux fur of course, we have morals. Baby it's cold outside but you look hot hot hot in that fur wrap. Plus it amplifies your rich girl factor by 1000. Fur just screams "I HAVE ARRIVED, open the door for me and bring me a martini, Gerald."
6. ...elf ears....just.....no.
If you are above the age of six, it's time to burn the elf ears. Santa hat? Sure- it's cute, festive and matches basically anything. But the elf ears are an entirely different level of tacky and I don't want to eat my turkey and stuffing while looking at artificial ears that have been sown into an ugly striped mess of a hat. Nogo.
