Holiday Style

Keeping the holidays stress-free isn't easy. Even getting dressed
can add to your stress! From cocktails parties to cookie swaps,
you need "go to" outfits that are easy to put on and get out the door.
To get you started, here are a few outfits that I've created on Polyvore.
Hope these ideas will make your holidays merry and bright!

Merry Christmas! Relax and Enjoy!

The holidays can be hectic, but we all need to take a breath and slow down. Whether it's baking cookies or watching Christmas movies, I love the casual moments best of all. Getting dressed up for parties is fun - but requires some work as well. I'd rather be in front of the fire relaxing in jeans and a t-shirt. Wishing you a Merry Christmas full of special and relaxing moments.

Suede Boots

For fall, no wardrobe is totally complete without a great pair of boots. And suede is the "must have" this fall. Whether knee high or short and slouchy, trendy suede is perfect wherever you go. Here are a few examples of this style staple.

Street Style (for less)

Over the last few years, "Street Style" has grown in popularity around the world. This look is defined as "any offbeat or avant-garde fashion inspired by the contemporary culture of urban street people."

How great! While I'm doing one of my favorite pastimes "people watching", I can actually find ideas for new outfits. (Unless I'm looking at "the people of Walmart" -- Ha!) The outfit below would cost more than $8,000, but with a little searching, you can snag the look at a fraction of the cost.
