Holiday Fashion on a Budget :)


As the holidays approach I am reminded of why I love fashion so much~ everything is embellished, sparkly and just plain fun to wear. I recently had the opportunity to go to NYC with my mom over Thanksgiving and let me tell you fellow fashionistas~ do not miss it! NYC is a haven for sharp street style, classic elegance and new and modern trends. New Yorkers aren't just fashionable... they ooze it. Every person I saw walking the streets in the new lace up booties or over the knee boots made me want to move there just a little more (sorry Hubby!:))


That being said I was inspired by some of the following trends I saw there and on the internet...
Black and tan combo- don't Katy and Blake look so fresh and youthful but with a classic elegance to them? Swoon. They are also both rocking a great trend of the moment- lace detailing. I love the femininity it brings to any outfit and Katy and Blake both ground the outfit with clean lines as to not make it too prissy. I love Blake's nude pumps to give the illusion of a longer leg too.



Patterned tights~ anyone tried them? I think they are so cute with a simple dress (in either solid or if you are feeling more daring a print) or with a great skirt. SJP does it great here with a gorgeous grey dress and statement necklace (although her toned legs don't hurt either:))



There are some truly amazing finds right now at New York and Company, Zara and H&M. I think these patterned tights would be great for a night out during the holidays or on NYE.
