Guest post: Holiday party essentials

If anyone knows what you'll need for the holiday party season, it's Casie from WhippedSTYLE. I mean, have you seen her Polyvore sets? If not, please go over there right now and check them out. Then come back here. They're that amazing! Our tastes are so similar I'm often convinced we're the same person. It should go without saying, then, that I'm ecstatic to have her sharing the essentials today. Annnnd now I'm going to buy all of them! - Alison

So excited to be posting for my good friend and fab blogger! Not to get all "holiday" on you all prematurely but, lets be honest, we have dresses to think about here! The holidays represent a flurry of events (pun fully intended).

For most, the season requires a minimum of three amazing outfits: the office party, the Christmas party and the New Year's Eve party. So, naturally, you're going to want to get at least four looks together. This season, I'm loving the fun textures of velvet and sequins-- add some bows, glitter and a statement necklace and you've made your way to my heart. What fun ways to add some festive flair to your looks! Here's a few holiday party-inspired pieces on my radar for the upcoming follies.

1. Elegant Collar Necklace  2. Glitter Purse  3. Ivy Velvet Frock 4. Glitter iPhone case 5. Deborah Lippmann Billionaire 6. ASOS Mini Dress with Double Layer Skirt 7. Lucinda Sequin Dress 8. Scotch Nail Polish Heather Blush 9. Valentino Aphrodite Single Handle Bag 10. Shift Dress with pleated neck
