#1 Dresses that Sparkle!

Even though I’m a firm believer in wearing sequins and sparkles every day, the holidays are truly the time to shine! Every girl needs a little sparkle in her life, and I’m especially fond of this adorable Illusion Spiral Sparkle Dress. It’s festive and flirty and oh-so-easy to wear! Hitting just at the knee and with sheer sleeves with a slight flutter, this dress will have you shimmering your way through many a holiday party!

If you want just a touch of sparkle, try this Ruched Rhinestone Cold Shoulder Dress. The rhinestone accent at the waist is a tasteful and elegant way to incorporate some sparkle into your holiday wardrobe.

Other fantastic, sparkly options the Velvet Sparkle DressSparkle Cold Shoulder Dress, and Floral Sequin A-Line Dress.

 

#2 Casual Dazzle

Even though I am personally obsessed with dresses, from time to time I trade them in for a great pair of jeans and a glitzy top. But for the holidays, it can’t be just any old top…it has to be so great that it makes me want to dance the night away with the girls!  This Sequin Diamond Wrap Top and Foil Cold Shoulder Asymmetrical Top and this Sequin Keyhole Back Top are casually glamorous.

#3 Cardi Party

Cardigans are another holiday must-have. But I’m not down with basic basics, so pick a cardi with some flair and button up your holidays with festive layers. One of my favorites is this rich and dramatic Baroque Cropped Cardigan. The red with the black print is classic and the baroque print elevates this cardi to a statement piece. I’m also loving the Velvet Flower Cropped Cardigan and Rhinestone Button Cropped Cardigan.

#4 Blinged Out Sweaters

If you’re familiar with my style, you know that I have a tendency to be a little “extra.” Even my sweater game demonstrates my obsession with bling. I like shimmer and beads and embellishments – all the things that let you shine throughout the season. The Embellished Asymmetrical Pullover and the Solid Lurex Sweater are two that I have my eye on!

 

#5 Something Red

Red is THE COLOR of the season, and it comes in so many gorgeous shades and silhouettes at Avenue. Never underestimate the power of a bold color to lift your spirits and spread cheer to everyone you pass. Of course, the Ruched Rhinestone Cold Shoulder Dress is one of my favorite holiday must-haves – since it’s red and has some sparkle! But here are a few other bold red options like the Medallion Velvet SheathStone Strap Cold Shoulder Blouse, and Slit V-Neck Embellished Pullover.

 

#6 Active Wear with Attitude

The busy holiday season means lots of errands and late-night wrapping sessions. Be sure you have some casual and active tops that are comfortable and cute…and have a little sass. I’m loving the Embellished French Terry PulloverRosé French Terry Active Top, and especially the Sequin Dog French Terry Sweatshirt.

 

#7 Street Style

Street style is all about athleisure looks this year and these coordinated sets are both warm and stylish. This Seamed Velour Active Hoodie and matching Velour Active Pant and the Heather Curve Stripe Active Jacket with the Chevron Stripe Active Jogger are two sporty sets perfect for decking the halls.

#8 The IT Jean

A great pair of jeans is a must this season. The Virtual Stretch® denim from Avenue is a personal favorite, and there are so many different styles to choose from. I prefer skinny jeans and jeggings so that they fit nicely when tucked into your boots. Try a pair of Butter Denim Skinny Jean in Red to push the envelope, or go with one of the frayed or distressed pairs like the Virtual Stretch® Frayed Jegging or Virtual Stretch® Frayed Hem Jegging for an on-trend look.

#9 Easy Tops and Tees

If you’re doing a grab-bag gift exchange with your sisters or girlfriends, this Diva Sequin Tee or the Beyoutiful Sequin Tee is sure to be a hit!  And when you’re out shopping or grabbing a casual coffee with your friends this holiday season, opt for a stylish and easy-to wear plaid top. Plaid is a winter staple and Avenue has so many options!

#10 Fancy Footwear

Don’t forget to complete your outfit with a pair of statement shoes! Avenues boots are full of rich textures and embroidery and are sure to make the season merry! I’m loving the Liberty Zipper BootieShore Velvet BootieVesey Lace-Up Pump, and of course the Kimberly Over the Knee Boot!
