This holiday season, break out of that little black dress rut for something that makes more of a statement. Enter the brocade and embroidery trend (one of my favorites at the moment), which is guaranteed to lend a festive touch to any outfit. With that in mind, here is my take on the perfect holiday party dress look, with my top picks from Nordstrom.

+ Alice + Olivia Pacey V-Neck Metallic Brocade Dress
+ Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau de Parfum Spray
+ NARS Lipstick in Cruising
+ NARS Iconic Color Nail Polish in Endless Night
+ Jules Smith Americana 14k Gold Plated Open Cuff Bracelet
+ Kate Spade New York Crystal Ear Crawlers
+ Rebecca Minkoff 'Leo' Envelope Clutch
+ Topshop 'Gifted' Tassel Tie Pump

2 Stylish Holiday Party Looks To Try This Season

Photos by Jenn Camp

'Tis the season for holiday parties, so whether you're looking to make a siren statement or keep it subtle, yet cool, let these two looks with my top beauty picks from Dolce & Gabbana be the inspiration for your next party...

For a high-impact look, pair a classic bright red lip with a matching clutch and nail polish. Add some dimension by contouring your face with bronzing powder, then apply a metallic gold eyeshadow for the final festive touch.

If you want something more low-key, but equally stylish, keep it simple by highlighting your face with a shimmery illuminator for a pretty glow. Try a textured white clutch, silver watch, and chic ring to keep with the cool, understated feel.

Complete both looks with an edgy pearl choker and a quick spritz of Light Blue fragrance before you head out the door. This fresh scent is always uplifting, plus it's a guaranteed conversation starter since I always get asked what I'm wearing when I have it on.
