don't be tardy for the party

now that we have halloween out of the way, it's time to look forward to the next group of holidays--thanksgiving, christmas, hanukkah, kwanza--which means party season is officially here. this year holiday dressing is all about sparkle, shimmer, texture and contrast. take note, and don't be tardy for the party.

this manoush dress (top) is number one on our lust list for the season. if you're style is less extroverted, opt for a little shimmer like the gold clu top (bottom) that can be worn with leather leggings and booties for a chic soiree.

alexander wang always has something to offer the party girl. this season, we love his velvet dress with sheer detail at the sides (top): the unexpected cutouts turn a traditional velvet dress into a sexy party frock. another great choice is the flirty, twirly white a-line dress (bottom) with black leather racerback. perfect for the traditional partygoer who wants to show off her wild side.
