here are some fantastic picks for this holiday party season, a few are even family function appropriate.

do you get dressed up for the holidays or are your parties more casual?

on trend: tights & skirts (or dresses!)

i’ve never been big on tights. or dresses and skirts during the winter. but with my style evolving a bit, i think this is the year these two things will collide.

i absolutely LOVE (yes, capital L-O-V-E) the look and, bonus!, it helps take your other season wardrobe pieces and winterfy (or fallify) them.

here are my favorite looks:

(v, vi, vii, viii)

you probably have most of the basics to pull this kind of look together – but here it is in a nutshell. remember, you can always shake things up with some accessories, booties vs boots, colored tights, etc.

budding style icon: mindy kaling

if you don’t know who mindy kaling is you are either about to or you live under a rock – i haven’t decided yet.

in all seriousness, i love this woman. she is incredibly talented and funny. she’s quick witted. she’s stylish. smart. did i mention talented? major girl crush over here.

i’m loving her status as a budding style icon – she is looking ah-may-zing on the red carpet and perfectly adorable in interviews. you should probably also pick up a copy of her book. just sayin.

(iv, v, vi)
