The holidays are all about glamour. To help you achieve holiday glam this season, The Fashion Monger has teamed with Penny Freddura, the “My Stylist” at Macy’s Northshore Mall store in Peabody. Whether you favor a sophisticated look with a bit of traditional glam or you simply want to amp up your glam, Macy’s “My Stylist” and The Fashion Monger can help to make your style timeless, daring and edgy.
This season is all about metallics, sparkles, velvet, sequins, feathers and the one-shoulder dress and jumpsuit. We rounded up top fashion brands like BCBG Maxazria, I.N.C. International Concepts, Rachel Roy, BCX clothing and Michael Kors, pairing outfits with dazzling shoes and accessories. Replace the LBD with this year’s must-have comfortable formal jumpsuit, elegant in black with rhinestone cuff embellishments and sheer cut-out sleeves. Whatever you do, ditch the everyday overcoat. Complement your look by draping your shoulders with a BCX Capelet or faux fur BCBG Capelet.
Fellas can get that inspired celebrity style, too, with a fashion-forward must-have suit or tux. I.N.C. International Concepts menswear collection is spectacular.
Celebrate in style. Even dress your festive holiday table in glam! Bring an enchanting winter wonderland to the table. Use such decorative accents as sparkling pine cones, Santa figurines and reindeer to accessorize as a centerpiece. Add glitz and glam to your tablescape by layering Hotel Collection Marble dinnerware onto gold sparkling metallic textural chargers, with snowflake napkin rings and gray napkins with stylish reindeer as an accent. For a New Year’s tablescape, swap out the Santa figurine for mini-trees, to maximize the gray napkins; lay napkin across the dinner plate and simply tuck under the plate.
