6 LBDs to Rock this New Year's Eve

So... you missed out on the major holiday sale and now you're stuck with choosing your New Year's Eve outfit on your closet? Don't fret. There is one type of dress that you can easily work into any occasion: the classic LBD or little black dress. This type of dress has been my go-to for parties and other special occasions. StyleWe and many other online fashion sites have plenty of options available but you can easily recycle one from your closet - I'm pretty sure every woman has at least one LBD in her closet. 

Tip 1: Think accessories. Dangly earrings and other statement pieces can instantly upgrade an old dress and make it look brand new. Statement earrings would also make your close-up selfies look WAY better.

Tip 2: Add a statement pair of heels. Good shoes will be your secret weapon to looking your best for New Year's Eve. Even when you have worn your LBD a few times before, you can make it look brand new by pairing it with a statement shoe. All eyes will be on your shoes and your dress will simply tie the look together.

Tip 3: Rock the red lips! Another way to make a great statement with your LBD is to pair it with a bold lip color. If you like red, then go for this classic shade! But if you're not a fan of red lipstick, you can opt for other shades you like such as berry or coral.

With these tips, here are some StyleWe party dresses to inspire you to create that perfect look for New Year's Eve.

StyleWe Holiday Picks + Giveaway

via

The holiday spirit is truly in the air! Hence, I am excited to bring you a last-minute gift (more on that later!). For now, I would like to share a few of my cold weather picks from StyleWe - one of the top online fashion shopping sites for women. This website has been one of my favorites because of the vast array of designers to choose from. It started off as a small-time website that provided an avenue for fashion designers to showcase their work and their inventory continues to grow by the day. 

For the holidays, I've spotted a few great options from StyleWe, particularly in the knitwear section. Knitted pieces are essential for the colder months but I love that they're comfortable enough to be worn even on our side of the planet where we don't have winter or snow. Hence, if you are going to invest in a cold weather piece, a knitwear is going to be a smart investment as it would be easy to transition to other seasons. 

Knitwear can also be versatile. You can buy a knitwear dress, sweater, top or outerwear. There are so many options available in the market that you can find a piece that you like. Speaking of a piece that you like, here are some that I do have my eye on: 

Grey Solid Cardigan
Mustard Knit Long Sleeve Sweater
Vintage Knitted Fringe Sweater

Beige Casual Sweater
Red Long Sleeve Lace Hem Sweater
Khaki Shift Knitted Color Block Sweater

Now onto some exciting news in time for the holidays... I've partnered with StyleWe to give one of my readers a chance to win a piece of clothing from StyleWe (of your choice) valued at $60! It's so easy to join and all of the steps are indicated below:

StyleWe 101: How to Style Mini Skirt for Fall/Winter

With the prospect of colder weather, are you starting to wonder what to do with your mini skirts? Or is it appropriate to wear them at all? With the rising popularity of the latest fashion micro skirts, it becomes increasingly important to find fashion-forward ways to wear them all year round. It not only helps you save (since you no longer have to purchase new seasonal items) but you can also get more wear out of the current pieces in your wardrobe. 

Here are some fashionable mini skirts that I found from a fashion shopping store called StyleWe. This website features creations from independent designers and their inventory is quite massive. Hence, you should find a skirt that you'd love to wear all winter long. Below are some of my top picks:

Deep Grey A-Line Buttoned Mini Skirt / Polyester A-Line Mini Skirt / Fringed Vintage Mini Skirt / Black Sheath Mini Skirt

Meanwhile, here are three fun ways you can wear a mini skirt for fall and winter:

Tip 1: Add thoughtful accessories to help you stay warm and look fashionably chic. Think in the line of over-the-knee boots and a head gear (such as a beret or beanie). These fun accessories will elevate a mundane look (aka sweater and skirt combo).

Tip 2: Layer it up with a coat or blazer. If you can find a faux fur layering piece, that's even better. The textural contrast will make the simple elements stand out, not just individually but as a unit. For a more chic touch, you can try adding a scarf into the mix too.

Tip 3: Throw in your tights! Keep those legs warm by layering your skirt with tights and adding some heels or ankle booties into the mix!

Minimal Fall Wardrobe Ideas

The arrival of a new season signals a new take on fashion. For fall, you might be compelled to start stocking up on blanket scarves, cardigans and vests... but in reality, you don't need to buy new clothes all the time. You can get inspiration from minimal fall fashion ideas that I have included in this post to build your wardrobe on minimalist fashion principles. It's easier than you think! I have included some pieces from Amii, one of the fashion designers featured on StyleWe, so you can get visual inspiration using their pieces to create your own minimal fall style.

Choose solid colors and classic patterns. To re-create the essence of fall in your outfit, stick to color palettes and patterns that are often associated with fall. For example, black, grey and wine red hues are great to build up on your wardrobe from. When it comes to patterns, plaids and stripes can be easy to mix and match with your other favorite pieces in your closet. 

Choose fabric wisely. The type of fabric you wear for fall is also crucial to creating a minimalist style. Knit and wool are two of the best types of fabric with which you should invest in. You can wear a knit dress or sweater and pair it with denim pants or other pieces from your closet to bring the essence of fall to your look. Staying cozy and chic is no rocket science!

Comfort is key. The main principle behind minimalist fall fashion is all about the comfort. You need to find the right fabric and length on your pieces to stay warm, especially when the breeze starts to get chilly. Hence, you need to start thinking about the length of your pieces and if you'd be able to get through your day with that.

How to Wear Spring/Summer Colors for Fall

If you love pastel and bright colors as much as I do, you might be interested to know that despite what the rules say, you can wear them for fall fashion too. The fall fashion previews might suggest you switch to darker, earthier tones but that does not mean that you should abide by the rules all the time. In fact, there is an incentive to wear eye-catching hues for fall as it can make your fall outfits seem more upbeat. Today, I have partnered with StyleWe to showcase some pieces from Lilith Paris, one of the website's independent fashion designers, and some tips on how you can wear spring or summer colors well into fall. 

Incorporate neutral accessories. Do you have a lot of pastel dresses in your closet? Do not put them away yet. You can still wear those light colored dresses for fall by incorporating neutral accessories to tone down the brightness a bit but still make it the focal point of your outfit.

Shoes make the outfit. If full-on pastel feels too summer-y for you, incorporate fall colors into your outfit through your choice of footwear. This will also add some polish to the outfit. 

Wear pastel outerwear. One of the easiest ways to get away with wearing pastel or summer/spring colors in the fall is with your outerwear. It will make your look suited for the cooler weather but with a pop of brightness from the pastel.

Limit to accessories. If you find that wearing pastel outerwear is still too vibrant for fall, then limit the pastel to your accessories only. It could be your bag, your earrings/necklace, or your scarf.

Transitional Pieces from StyleWe

Since I introduced StyleWe to you, my readers, I am proud to say that this website has seen a massive growth. The concept of the website is unique in that they provide a wide range of options from independent designers rather than specializing on high-end designers. Hence, it is truly a healthy community that provides opportunities for the budding designers. As they unveil their Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, I am happy to provide you with a sneak peek! I know it is still a bit ahead of time but when it comes to shopping this season's essentials, the sooner you can get started the better! 

Two of the things that I've found myself constantly shopping for right now are cardigans and sweaters. But since I live in a tropical country, I cannot afford to wear wool and other thick fabric for my cardigan or sweater. As of now, I like to keep lightweight cardigans and sweaters so I can wear them all year round. In this transitional time, StyleWe offers you with plenty of options for lightweight layering and to prepare you for the cooler months ahead. Well, the thought of the cooler months and the holiday season is already giving me butterflies. So, if you're as excited as I am, you might want to have a peek at some of my favorites from the website:
