Holiday Wishlist: Party Dresses

Aside from the food, there is one thing that you can expect a lot of this coming holidays: parties! Whether I'm attending parties with friends or corporate events, dressing up is highest in my priority list. I do like to glam it up once in a while but your options shouldn't be limited by the party's dress code. Good thing, online shops and boutiques have stocked up on plenty of party dresses to choose from. But if the sheer volume of choices can overwhelm you, here's a trick you can try: categorize your dress options into three different looks and narrow down your choices based on what kind of look you're aiming for.

Laces, silk, and lots of delicate patterns and fabrics. Most glam dresses are simple in cut but makes up for it by the delicate nature of the pattern and fabric. I definitely have an unyielding love for lace but an LBD or LWD are old standbys, too.

Fun and flirty dresses are ideal for casual to semi-casual holiday parties. Make sure to opt for short frocks to maintain that flirty vibe. However, try to play it up with quirky patterns and colors to give a somewhat naughty twist to a simple frock.

 This is the go-to option for cocktail events or corporate parties this December. Color block designs are the most distinctive element of sophisticated dresses. In addition, it teases by not revealing too much. If you've got the curves, this is one look that you will definitely be able to pull off!

Fash Love: Scarf Season

With the holiday season in the horizon, the temperature is starting to dip a bit, particularly during night-time. While I personally have a low tolerance for the cold temps, I guess it's a nice excuse to cuddle up at night, right? That... or to don cold weather ensembles that present another opportunity to style up your everyday looks a bit. 

One trick that has worked for me in the past is the use of scarf! Isn't it amazing how one tiny addition of a scarf can amp up your outfit and make it ultra stylish? Hence, I started scouring Express' site to find cute scarf designs to add into my cold weather fashion wishlist.

Fash Find: Ladies' Suits

This year, ladies' suits had made appearances on the red carpet more than ever. It has come to signify a bold, powerful, and strong woman without losing that sexy vibe. Hence, I always admire seeing women wear the ladies suits, especially the ones paired with shorts, because they always look fab, regardless of color or texture. 

You can only imagine my excitement when I spotted these sexy ladies' suits at Express as I was out doing some online window shopping yet again. I can't help but gush over how sexy these are! Don't tell me you don't think so, okay? See for yourself...

Fash Love: Boyfriend Jeans

Skinny jeans and leggings are wardrobe staples for me. These bottoms are my default choices when I want to style something casual yet chic and comfy. But there's one particular style of jeans that I haven't dared put on yet - boyfriend jeans. Being that I am petite, I stick to my wardrobe staples for maximum styling effect. I fear that the cutoff at the end might cut the length of my legs, though I can't deny that I've been meaning to try a distressed jean so I am a bit torn on this one.

This does not mean, however, that I am completely averting the idea of exploring other jeans styles. I've been spotting a lot of boyfriend jeans on the web and on celebrities lately. It's even a great piece to add some edgy vibe to your look.

I've found a few great boyfriend jeans online that I am lusting over and wish to magically appear in my closet:
