Holiday Party Must Haves.

This Kensie Velvet Strapless Dress will have everyone dying to catch you under the mistletoe at the office Christmas party.

Everything about it is holiday luxe! The velvet top gives the perfect 'cuddle up by the fire' vibe while the silky bottom has the glamour for a night out.

Not a velvet girl? Sequins are also an eye catcher for holiday parties. Try a sequin top, like our Velvet Asia Ikat Sequin Tank in Black, with leggings or a sequin skirt with a tucked top.

Either option will have you getting more attention than the Christmas tree all night.

Ask Elyse: Downsizing

Dear Elyse,

I regret that I over-indulged a bit over the holidays so I'm looking to find a way to slim down my silhouette in time for New Year's. Any tips?

Thank you,

Breanne

Dear Breanne,

The holidays are all about going a little overboard, so you're not alone if you're still feeling that Christmas feast.

First off, I have to tell you that light colours are not your friend of the moment. Darker shades will always present a more slender silhouette. Also, opt for more forgiving (though not necessarily looser) fabrics with only a little extra stretch to them. This way your outfit will allow for a little wiggle room without letting it all hang out. I recommend ponte knit trousers like the 7 For All Mankind Bootcut in Double Knit Black or Tag's Stretch Knit Bootcut in Black.

The same rules apply for formal attire. Stay in the darker shades and avoid jersey knits. Dresses from Stop Staring! are cut in millenial fabric perfect for creating a sleek silhouette by sucking in all the right bits of your anatomy. If you're looking for something a little less clingy, opt for a dress in the empire style, which flatters the bust but makes sure your midsection only exists in imagination.

Lastly, heels always help. Not only will they encourage you to stand straighter (and slimmer), they will elongate your legs and give you a tighter appearance.

Hope this helps and happy holidays,
Elyse

Staff Pick: Frock Find

Medford store Minx Anne finds herself falling for this ultra-femme dress from neoteric brand Frock!

Frock's Ciera Dress is a fine study in feminine fashion with a fitted bodice and flared skirt set with flirtatious ruffles. Anne finds it to be the perfect holiday party dress when paired with just a bit of bling, and is endeared by the decidedly Gossip Girl style.

Cover Girl

We already knew that Fergie has a figure to die for, but this dress pushes the envy factor to the max - Black Halo's sultry Pintuck Slip Mini Dress was a front-page feature on this December's Cosmopolitan mag.

The Pintuck Mini is all curves and class, cut in a flattering fabric that's snug without revealing every bit of your anatomy.

Any Black Halo frock would prove the perfect piece for holiday parties. Shop Fergie's Pintuck Mini and other Black Halo dresses at UrbanMinx.
