ALL ABOUT THE OUTERWEAR

I'm a sucker for jackets...and handbags and swimsuits and shoes and...(the list goes on for days here.) But really, like a great pair of jeans, it's important to love your invest in great outerwear this time of year. And while it's always fun to try on some of the newest trends, it's important to have the essentials: a good trench like this one, a good fluffy number, something to brave the elements and also a shorter, chic biker jacket like the one I am wearing here from Goodnight Macaroon. It's insanely soft and the details are impeccable- what could be better? Oh, it's also on sale at the moment!

THE FESTIVE EVENING

Franklin Village, CA

IDEAl for: somethng dressy

The holidays are a time when you really can't overdo the shimmer and glitter. It's also a time to try on soft textures like faux fur and velvet! This little sheath dress has a classy length that is offset by a side slit and choker neckline. I lve its deep burgundy color and because of the rich details, accessorizing is easy! Aaron kept the makeup romantic and classic (just the way I like it!) while I added some celestial studs for a bit of extra shine. Who's ready to dance?

THE SPARKLY CELEBRATION

December 11, 2017 Kelly Donohue

Hollywood Hills

IDEAL FOR: THE COCKTAIL PARTY

Have an after-work holiday party to swing by (or 4)? Sometimes it's fun to go glam with a statement piece. This year, I went with a ruched sequin skirt and partnered it with a dainty black tank and pink/gold accents. It's a flirty little combo that works for all levels of dressy (in case you're doing that holiday party hop!) I've had this body-con sparkler on my want list for a while and I love this darker burgundy mini dress as well. They look stunning and are perfect to wear to everything this time of year-- so much more fun than your basic LBD!

Oh and can you believe my hair is actually styled up? It was all the work of the talented Aaron Barry! He kept my makeup fresh and light and twisted my hair up into a braid and then worked his magic and tousled it into a loose bun. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask him on his site or instagram! Ah to have a hair/makeup artist everyday... that would be the life.

Hope you're all enjoying the endless season of parties!
