Guess who was invited to her new man's fancy company holiday party? Moi. The dinner soiree took place at a swanky resto, so I needed you to help me create a hot outfit. I started you off with these Valentino Bow Satin Sandals ($825) — they're subtly festive. Let's see your dazzling creations!
Look #1, created by bellydancinmary, is understated sexy. Love the bangles.

Help OnSugar blog shut up, I love that shirt on you chose her perfect holiday dress in this fun post.
Champagne. Cookies. Lights. Mistletoe.
I dare you to tell me what's better in December than a really, really, great holiday party. My dear and darling friend Caitlin's family hosts an absolutely amazing Christmas party at their home in West Seattle every year. It's a guaranteed night of festive drinks, old friends, and dancing into the early morning.
I'm thinking of treating myself to a new dress for the occasion, but obviously, the Marc Jacobs frock I posted about last week is just a little out of my price range. (Though I did see it in person at Nordstrom the other day, and I have to say — it really is beautiful.) Thanks to my little job in retail (and the delicious holiday discounts Urban Outfitters Inc. gives its lovely employees at all three stores) I can get a fab dress at an even fabber price.
So here's what I'm considering . . .
This Flight of the Swans dress from Anthropologie is majorly on sale now ($79.95) and I've loved it since it first arrived in October. (It sparkles and has pockets!) I imagine it with gold jewelry, black tights, and black heels.

Have you hit a holiday shopping slump? Don't fret, when the stores — and long lines — get a little uninspiring, hit up Etsy.com for a refreshing whiff of one-of-a-kind goodies. Check it: they have a cool gift guides section, which allows you to shop by different price points and categories. I'm nabbing this Yves Saint Laurent Ink Art ($24) for myself and a special friend. Très awesome for someone who's short on time or cash. Still need a little more guidance? Check out my favorite Etsy picks!
I plan on attending at least three holiday parties this year just so I can show off my frugal yet Fab frock, a pair of sequin shorties, and a sassy jumpsuit. Yes, jumpsuits lean on the daring side, but they're just so slick. Cuts and colors range from silky cropped styles to wide-legged wonders, so pick your pleasure. May I suggest wearing one, like this tailored Wink Black Stretch Cotton Jumpsuit ($223, originally $297), to a cocktail party or upscale dinner? I love the bustier-inspired silhouette. Don't forget to adorn with dazzling accessories and some festive footwear!
With New Moon still No. 1 in theaters, it's obvious that there are a ton of Twilight followers out there, young and old. With that in mind, I've gathered gift ideas for the holiday season that can still work for the non-tween Twi-hard in your life. I'm especially loving more personalized items, like a "Veggie Vampire" apron and cute Jacob Black dog tee to get pets in on the craze. Or you can just help them replenish their worn-out paperbacks with the complete hardback series or have some fun with the Twilight Scene It? game.
But if you're over the Twilight craze, I'm still taking care of you, too. Just check out the rest of my holiday gift suggestions or take a peek at more ideas from across the PopSugar Network.
