Holiday Style Tips

The holidays are a time of friends, family...and fashion confusion. Even the most stylish women can get thrown off by the extra demand of the holiday season: How do you dress for work knowing you're going straight to a party afterwards? How do you avoid buying a separate dress for every event? How can you look festive without relying on same-old red and green? The trick lies in a few simple accessories.

The After-Hours Switch

You could update a traditional look with a jewel-toned red or green, or go more modern with pink or blue. Grab an oversized bag (like this gorgeous Givenchy) to stash your after-hours accessories.

After hours, leave your blazer at the office. Slip your lipstick, phone, and wallet into a sparkly clutch and swap your standard work shoes for these Jimmy Choo pumps. Finish the look with dangly earrings and a pretty pendant.

The Golden Rules

You don't have to rely on red and green to look festive - try swapping your regular accessories for gilded versions. If there's a season when you can afford to overdose on sparkly shoes, glittery clutches, and shiny baubles, this is it.

P.S.- Don't be afraid to mix metallics! During the holiday season, silver and gold go together just like red and green.

Say Yes to the Dress

You don't have to buy a new dress to get a new look. Invest in a few key accessories, and your favorite little black dress will take you through the holidays. On Friday, try matching your makeup to your shoes: go for bright red pumps, a bold red lip, and a fresh scarlet manicure. On Saturday, wear it with sparkly pumps, a glittery clutch, and stacked beads or bangles. On Sunday morning, wear it to brunch with a timeless scarf and red suede flats.

Hermès: Holiday Gifts With History

Have you ever wondered why the Hermès logo is a carriage with horses? It’s not just a nod to the nobility of ages past - it’s an homage to the boutique’s beginnings as a Parisian harness workshop. The expertly tooled leather and finely crafted metalwork synonymous with Hermès accessories is the result of over a century of experience creating some of the most sought-after carriage harnesses and bridles.

The Hermès flagship store in Paris has been providing exceptional leatherwork to international customers from the same location since 1880, but their foray into fashion wasn’t until 1900, when they created their first bag. In 1918, after securing the exclusive rights to use the zipper in France, they created the first leather golf jacket - in fact, the zipper used to be called the “fermeture Hermès,” or “Hermès fastener.” Hermès has continued to produce exceptional accessories ever since then, opening the first two US stores in 1924, creating the ubiquitous “carrés” (scarves) in 1937 and the perfume Eau d'Hermès in 1949.
