Just a little something I picked up at the Christopher Straub booth
My “Glitz and Glam” notes/Holiday Shopping wishlist-
- Bright minis paired with neutrals for a shot of color. It’s dressed up without looking too seasonal.
- Velvet dress and patterned and textured tights to add texture and interest to an outfit. Textured and patterned tights were everywhere!
- I’m always looking for something to wear over my dress or skirt. Cropped jackets with an interesting detail such as ruffles or the bold shoulder are the way to go to stay warm and stylish in the winter
- Statement Jewelry is an easy way to take your fit to the next level!
What a great time! Thanks Ladies!
Me and Jess....I'm already wearing my Christopher Straub bracelet!
