#HolidayGiftsAndGlamour Event

Welcome to the Holiday Gifts and Glamour Event with Keaton Row and Bella Vintaj Jewelry!  This week I am co-hosting an online event with Peg Rounds at Bella Vintaj Jewelry to give you great idea for Holiday gifts and glamour for Holiday parties with Keaton Row fashion styling!

Above we put together a casual chic look perfect for the lazy Sunday.  I started with a boot cut jean well price under $40.00, a casual long sleeve tee shirt, a long cardigan, an animal print scarf and a great cross body bag by Michael Kors.  Find all of the Keaton Row fashion pieces here.  So many of these pieces are also fabulous as gifts!

For the Bella Vintaj pieces, Peg recommends the Found Collected Sentiments found here.  Hung on the message necklace found here.     You will love the versatility of the basic Bella Vintaj pieces that can be matched to your outfit, mood or event each day.

Here is Peg's introduction: I’m Peg Rounds and I’m an Independent Consultant for Bella Vintaj Jewelry and am, also, a designer and blog contributor in the craft industry. I live in Illinois with my husband and son who are very supportive in the things I do and have to be my biggest fans. Since I enjoy sharing about the things that I love, Bella Vintaj Jewelry became a perfect fit into my life and schedule. I find I am more excited every day about the jewelry and what you can do with it and that makes it easy to share with others. Being able to decide what I’m going to wear for the day and then finishing off the look with this jewelry has never been more fun. I am very happy that I am a Bella!

#TrendyTuesday The Foiled Sweater

I am late with my Trendy Tuesday post, because the Black Friday sales have started with the Keaton Row retailers and I have been busy posting the sale favorites at Shopbop and Les Nouvelles.  You can find my favorite Black Friday Sale items here.  Be sure to stop back as Nordstrom and ASOS deals have yet to be posted!Today, I am talking about another strong trend in sweaters this Fall & Winter, the foiled sweater.  The sweater above had the beautiful foiling and an oversize cable stitch.  Find the sweater here.  These foil sweaters are perfect for everyday, date night and the casual Holiday party.  Pair it with jeans everyday, and embellished jeans, a skirt or trousers for the holiday party look. 

#StyleTheSale Saturday: Black, White & Red Office or Party Look

One of my favorite things to do for my Keaton Row Clients is to style a sale look that flatters them at a great price!  That's why I am sharing this look on Style the Sale Saturday.  It all starts with a great skirt in red that hugs the waist and hips and flares below the hip.  So flattering!  Add a classic white blouse and the draped cardigan jacket.  Pair it with a warm gold necklace and classic pumps.   Find all these sale looks and my newest November SALES lookbook here.  This look would be perfect for the office, or a holiday party!  And the pieces can be paired with so many other pieces they are so versatile.

#FrugalFriday: Floral and Leather Look

Time for another installment of Frugal Friday and I am once again featuring a look with leather.  Leather can be expensive, so find yourself a stylist who can get you a look that suits at a great price!  I found the designer look and the girl on a budget look at Keaton Row.  The designer look is $5860.00 and the girl on a budget look is $327.18.  Now, you may be wondering about the budget leather skirt, still over $200.00, but I can watch the Black Friday sales for you and let you know if there are any offers you might want to use on the fabulous leather skirt of designer handbag!  In  the mean time if you love the girl on a budget, blouse, heels or necklace, be sure to snap them up now as inventory is selling out quickly!  Find all these looks here.

#TrendyTuesday: The Oversize Cable

One of my favorite sweater trends this season is the over sized cable sweater.  This trend is for an oversize cable stitch, not oversize sweater.  One of my favorites is pictures above has a classic feel by Ralph Lauren.  A beautiful cardigan, with fringe.  I've paired it with red and blue to give it a classic American feel.  Don't you love the blue suede shoes?  Find this great look here.  

The over sized cable is also showing up in pull over sweaters.  You can find this pull over and all the sweaters bellow in a sweater boutique here.  

#FrugalFriday for the Animal Print Lover

It's Frugal Friday and I am looking at saving on animal print items.  Here are two looks with sweater dresses.  The high look is by Rag & Bone, one of my favorite brands!  Add the Jimmy Choo handbag.  Great boots and earrings.  

The lower price look has a Betsey Johnson dress and a Michael Kors bag.  Both bags are genuine leather, but Michael's bag is for the girl on a slimmer budget.   Find both looks here.

This Style the Sale Saturday, I'm sharing a look perfect for the office Holiday party held at work.  Pair the blazer with the lace skirt by Rebecca Minkoff and a bit of red in the necklace.  All the pieces can be mixed and matched for the office or special occasions on other days. All the pieces are ON SALE.  Find all the pieces ON SALE here.

#FrugalFriday: The #LeatherJacket for Less

Love a genuine look for less in leather?  How about this moto jacket look with quilted shoulder yoke?  Save yourself just under $300.00 on the jacket alone!  Find the jackets, sweater, jeans and boots here.

#TrendyTuesday #Sweater Trends

We all love the sweater, and want the newest trends!  So, what's the latest trend in sweaters this Fall and Winter?  It's all about the hem details:  ruffles, sheer panels, feathers (see photo above) and more!  Here are some tips on how to wear this new trend by figure type.

1. The Straight figure:  This is a good look for you, because it can give you hips.
2. The Triangle:  This is helps to balance your larger top, so it is a great look for you too!
3. The Pear:  Wear this look with the dark color at the bottom, and light color at the top!  Avoid the ruffle and choose the sheer straight panel instead.  Examples, the pear can wear are the feather above (darker bottom), and the fringe at the bottom photo below, with black pants or a darker colored bottom.
4. The Apple:  Choose a sweater with a ruffle or a silhouette that creates a visual waist line, like the one below.  Find it here.
   
5. The Petite:  Choose a mono chromatic look for the whole outfit.  So the the black sweater with the animal print (like the one in the photo below) should be paired with black pants or jeans.  Find all these looks here.
