A few tips to make you sparkle at holiday events<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Holiday parties should be cause for celebration!\u00a0 We need to EMBRACE the opportunity to escape the pressures of the season, drink a glass of bubbly and have some FUN!<\/p>\n

Do not let a case of the \u201cBut, what do I wear?\u201d<\/strong> get you down!\u00a0 I am armed and ready to solve that problem.<\/p>\n

Here is my NO FAIL, hands down BEST DRESSED AT THE PARTY list:<\/p>\n

Hot Heels<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

A sparkly shoe will dress up ANY outfit!\u00a0 Works EVERY stinkin\u2019 time.\u00a0 (shoes courtesy of Kate Spade.\u00a0 Get in my closet!)<\/p>\n

Glittery Nails<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I do love the idea of a festive manicure for the holidays.\u00a0 Break out of your everyday neutral and try something bling-y!<\/p>\n

Statement Jewelry<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have been yapping all year about the importance of a big, bold necklace.\u00a0 This is a great purchase, not only for parties, but also, to add sparkle to a white t-shirt and jeans!\u00a0 (www.stelladot.com\/kellymhockenberry<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Holiday Hair<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Being able to do a braid or a voluminous top knot elevates any ensemble! \u00a0How cool is this ribbon?\u00a0 Or, add a sparkly brooch to a messy chignon!\u00a0 O.m.g.<\/p>\n

Find a girlfriend who is creative with her hairstyle and get ready for the party together!<\/p>\n

Fancy Pants<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stand out at the shindig as the cool chick in the fancy pants!\u00a0 Skirts and dresses are old hat.\u00a0 Try a tuxedo pant and sequined top or a pair of your FAVORITE jeans with a plaid button down and loads of sparkly necklaces piled on!\u00a0 (photo: JCrew)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Faux Fur<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you do have a never fail little black dress that you are planning to wear, make it a wintery winner by adding a faux fur snood!\u00a0 Just like investing in a great shoe or statement jewels, this purchase will have longevity beyond the night of the party.\u00a0 Throw it on with a sweater, corduroys and boots when you are running around doing weekend activities!\u00a0 You will LIVE in it this winter.\u00a0 Trust me.\u00a0 (photo: Pinterest)<\/p>\n
