Holiday season is party season around here! Now the December festivities are over, but New Years Eve is quickly approaching! Family gatherings maybe all about being warm and cozy with the family, but now its time for friends, champagne, and of course sequins!
This black and gold Chevron pattern, paired with some equally attention getting heels and a red lip (Revlon ColorStay Balm Tint for this party night), is a great combination for any party!

Between Winter Solstice at the beginning of the week, and Christmas at the end, it has been a week busting with holiday cheer for both Em & S!
We do have a last minute suggestion for you on what to wear for the holidays to both look nice, and feel comfortable and cozy while gathering with your loved ones. A red sweater dress. Wear it over tights or leggings, with a pointed toe flat and pearls for a touch of elegance. Of course add a red lipstick for a touch of holiday cheer! My latest favorite? Butter London in Come to Bed Red. Its wonderful, and over all very long wearing!

After a long cold winter, little is better than summer days and warm sunshine. One thing that always seems to crop up in the summer, is the summer wedding. So why not have a little inspiration for what to wear to that stake of weddings you have invites to pinned to your fridge.
Some basic tips
For the Casual Wedding
We all have that friend who wants to get married outside in cowboy boots. They fun and easy going, and their wedding is bout to be a blast. Wear a cotton floral dress. Its comfortable and will let you move on the dance floor and have a great time. Yellow is a huge color this summer, and perfect for a wedding like this.
Step it up a Notch…
For a slightly dressier outdoor wedding, floral is still a great option. Go for a bold print in a more structured cut to step things up a notch. This dress is my personal favorite, because it works for almost any wedding occasion!
The Formal Wedding
Go for a cocktail dress in a summer color like this great shade of green, especially if the wedding is in the daytime.
The Maxi Dress
We all love maxi dresses. They are the ideal summer go to look. Who wouldn’t to carry that over to a wedding! The way to make a maxi dress work is to wear one with a little more formal look, like this shirt dress style in an electric color.
Wearing Black
The little black dress is the perfect chic stylish look for a cocktail wedding. Wearing black to a wedding can be tricky, after all you want to look happy for the occasion, not like you are going to a funeral. The trick is to be a little more fun with you attire. Don’t skimp on the dress. Go for lace or satin, or an equally appealing fabric, and wear with fun accessories.
Go Bold
Feel like pushing the fashion limits, and turning a few heads? Try a jumpsuit! They are easily dressed up, but super comfortable if dresses aren’t your thing.
Hopefully this makes choosing your outfit when you are a wedding guest this summer a little easier. Check back next week for a post on how to accessorize these looks!

I know I promised my stitch fix dress, but alas, I found a fabulous pair of shoes that did not go with the dress, but had to be worn!
What to do when your husband is the same height as you, but you want to still look fabulous when you go out together? Get a sparkly pair of shoes! All things shiny are in right now, so this pointy toed flat dressed up this outfit perfectly!
But it’s January, and you need to be warm, so pairing a gold and silver glittery scarf as a wrap over a simple single colored dress and sparkly shoes glam up this outfit for a night out at the awards banquet.
Skip the black this year and go for a dark neutral with a ruffled cut and a snug silhouette to be sure that you will stand out in the crowd.

Out with the old, in with the new on New Years! There is just so much to leave behind, and so many wonderful new things happening in 2015. The highest on my list here is, of course, StylishTwo!
I have always loved NYE, after all, it is a day dedicated to celebrating the last 365 days, and dreaming about what you want in the coming 365. It is also a time for when all that glitters and gleams is absolutely in fashion, and I do love me some sparkles. I decided this year, I needed to celebrate in style. The year of 2014 was full of ups and downs, and some very major life changes. I survived it all. I’m happy, healthy, and ready for a fantastic year of stiletto heels, world travel, love, laughter, and finally my degree in anesthesia!
My NYE ve
nue this year was a party in Portland hosted at Grace, which is a gorgeous restaurant in a historic church, with all the event’s proceeds going to a local food bank. After all, if you are going to celebrate, why not do it for a good cause?
I went subtle and classy with my fashion, wearing a silk Calvin Klein dress, great pumps with a glitter toe cap that wouldn’t kill my feet, and a metallic clutch.
Em was home sick for the event, so my good friend C joined me for the event!
Happy 2015 everyone! Cheers to the best year ever!
