Putting It All Together

Can you believe that Christmas is only 5 days away?! I know I can't! With Christmas and New Years arriving quickly, I have many opportunities to doll up and look my best, but with so many parties it's hard to figure out what to do with your hair, makeup, and then having to pick out different outfits. (You know, a woman can never repeat a party outfit, especially in the same year, and same month, that's unheard of!)
So, to help you out a little bit, I have some tips and tricks ad this seasons hottest trends to help make you the sharpest at every event.

First you must start with that outfit, the aesthetic of your dress depicts where your hair and makeup is going to go.  Here are some of my favourite party dress looks: 


Next is hair, which in my opinion is just as important as your earrings or shoes. Even if I'm not wearing any makeup, I always feel pretty so long as my hair looks good! With your do, figure out what your outfit is portraying, whether it be funky or soft and sexy, modern, or classic etc. it is important to mimic that in your hairstyle. Once you've decided on the type of look, you then look at the neck line of your outfit and decide what you want to show off. For example, if you're wearing a backless dress you'll either want to wear your hair up, or off to the side so as not to cover up the detailing. To help you out, here are a few hairstyles that would accentuate each outfit I showed earlier:

Last but not least, and most definitely my favourite is makeup!! This is where you get to have fun, and while on a day to day basis there are rules, for the Christmas season I go with whatever makes me feel good! I like to bend and break rules in this department all the time, as long as your makeup isn't arriving to the party before you! Here are a few of my favourite looks for this holiday season!!


Wait! We can't forget accessories! Christmas and New Years is all about glitz and glam, so make sure it's sparkly but don't over do it... Even if you decide to forego the necklace and highlight your collar bones with a shimmer body cream, it's touches like that that will cause you to stand out among the crowd! Take a look at some of my personal holiday looks!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Years!!
