For me, holiday fashion means dressing extra bright, extra sparkly, and extra red. That means you'll see me regularly incorporating all of the above into my looks for the next month, starting with this cherry red dress and matching beret.
To satisfy the "extra sparkly" part of my holiday fashion definition, I'm rocking ankle-strap embellished heels that I typically only wear this time of year. I love that they're simple and demure in the front, and PARTY in the back! A metallic purse is another great way to add subtle shine to any party look, and of course I couldn't forget my go-to chandelier earrings and one of my favorite vintage-inspired necklaces.
A plaid coat is endlessly versatile, which is why I'm surprised it took me so long to own one. They can easily be dressed up or down, and here, this top layer completes my ensemble with a playful yet sophisticated twist.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I'm fully embracing Christmas! If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that Antonio and I were in full-blown decorating mode this weekend. Not only did we get our tree (first fake one I've ever had, RIP), but we decked it out, along with the rest of the apartment, making our entire space feel beautiful and festive. The only problem is, now I don't want to leave the house!
We ended our Saturday night with a trip down memory lane by watching Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't inspire this shoot just a little bit. After all, we shot right outside the Plaza Hotel, which is where a bulk of the movie takes place. NYC at Christmastime is truly something special!

I absolutely love that shade of red! Such a stunning look.
