| Dior Window Display for Printemps Christmas 2012 |
Holiday parties are here... Estilo Mum wants you to stand out this holiday season with some major style. Before you put your outfit(s) together and walk out the door take a look at What's IN & What's OUT for this Holiday Season.
WHAT's IN:
1. GOLD:
The rich, luxurious look and feel of Gold. Dior displays this trend beautifully for Printemps Christmas Window display (above). You can go head-to-toe in a gold floor length dress or wear touches of it. Either way, its glamorous and super stylish.

DON'T over do it or the glare factor will have people running away, instead of towards you.
2. All that Sparkles:
Sequins & Metallics. A staple for Holiday & New Year's parties, Sequins and metallics can really make you stand out.

3. Glitter - Beauty Products:
Not just for clothing, done right, touches of glitter can also be added to your finger nails for everyday holiday spirit. I'm a little late in reporting this, but Maybelline has come out with a limited edition collection for the month of November only called Sequins by Color Show. Eight shades that are perfect for the holiday season. I really love the red.

4. RED LIPS, MAJOR EYES:
Red Lips are classy and can look super stylish during the holiday season. Statement eye make-up, like a smokey eye or simply adding layers of dark shadow and mascara will add to your holiday style.
You can wear these looks together or separately. These ladies did it right.

5. Statement Accessories:
There is no better time than the holiday season to wear statement Jewelry or that special WOW accessory piece you rarely wear. It's the perfect time to show it off. That being said, don't bring out every piece of shiny accessory you have and wear it all at once. That's a big NO, NO. If you want to make a bold piece of jewelry the center of attention make sure to keep your outfit simple. Too much going on might put you overboard.

WHAT's OUT:
1. White Bra or undies under a Red dress or shirt. The Flash will reveal it all for your holiday pics.
2. The hideous Christmas sweater or other garment piece you might want to wear just for kicks. Don't!
3. Squeezing into an outfit that just doesn't fit. Sometime Spanks can't save the day. Be comfortable in what you wear. Don't get over excited and force yourself into something you just can't breath in.
4. Overglam. Too much glitz from head to toe. If you're wondering if it's too much, it probably is. Take something off before walking out the door.
5. A Drunk and stumbling woman. As beautiful or stylish as you may be, being too drunk can put a wrench into your night and make you less attractive to your male partner or friends. Keep it cool.
Enjoy your Holidays.
