Holiday Party Glam!!!

Hello Angels,

With Christmas and NYE fast approaching, we Pretty Prescribers know you will be wracking your brains and tearing through your closets looking for something chic to wear to all those parties that you've been invited to.
Here, we've created a look built around this amazing skirt (center) from Top Shop at Nordstrom:


Black Portofino blouse: Express, Only $35.94.
Via Spiga caged platform sandal booties: Bloomingdale's
Black embossed python clutch: Gigi New York
Kenneth Jay Lane emerald drop earrings: Amazon
Tassel Necklace:  J. Crew (pictured sold out), similar here.  Can also easily find on eBay!
Faux fur bolero: Nordstrom
UrbanDecay24/7 eyeliner in Goldmine: Sephora

A skirt this amazing with such eye-catching detail needs to be paired with relatively simpler details.  You want to look glamourous, not tacky and overdone!  If you're going for serious glam we like this faux fur jacket in lieu of a regular dress coat.  The classic jewels and clutch add refined, on-trend yet understated touches to this overall glam outfit.
And of course don't forget the makeup!  We love the many ways you can use eyeliner to instantly (and easily) glam up your makeup look without much fuss.  Urban decay's 24/7 pencil in Goldmine, applied in a thin line just above regular black eyeliner will draw lots of attention to your eyes all night.  For more info on different eyeliners that will also pair really well with this look, check out this post.

We hope you like it and maybe are inspired to pull pieces from your closet that you already own to re-create this look!  Please share your thoughts, questions and ideas in the comments.

Until next time,
Happy Holidays!

What to Wear for the Holidays - The Thanksgiving Edition

Hello Angels!!

I know it is always a challenge to figure out what to wear around the holidays.  You want to look fabulous since you will most likely be reuniting with friends and family, but want to achieve this without breaking the bank!  All of the above applies for me, plus I was on the lookout for something comfortable, with some give, so that I don't feel self conscious about what I will be eating all day.  Sequined track pants to the rescue!  They are a fun way to add some sparkle, while remaining very comfortable, and that is my main goal.  I was inspired by some luxe options by J. Crew and Anthropologie, but I opted to find the look for less so I could spread the love for my holiday gift list.  

Here is my look for Thanksgiving tomorrow, keep scrolling down for the play by play, and where to find everything.  Happy shopping and a very Happy Thanksgiving to our US readers!  Stay tuned for more looks throughout the holiday season!

The clothes

The main piece, sequined track pants by Wayf ($68 at Nordstrom)


My top is a simple black tee with embellished shoulders from Express, which is now on sale for $14.95!  Since my pants are very flashy, I wanted to tone everything else down.


I will be wearing black suede Zipfel pumps from Aldo $70



And of course, since it's going to be cold, I needed a jacket, also from Express. This is a quilted baseball jacket on sale for $39.95



I decided to go with a faux leather envelope clutch from Nordstrom $35


And last but not least, my splurge for this outfit is a black and gold lucite bracelet by Alexis Bittar, also from Nordstrom $99



For my inspiration, I spotted these pants at Anthropologie for $348 and these J. Crew Harem Sequined pants for $650. I was able to achieve the entire look for around $325, and I already owned most of the pieces!  

Anthropologie sequined taper pants $348
 

J. Crew Harem Sequined pants $650 (yes, that's right six-hundred-fifty-dollars)
 

Wishing you a Happy and Stylish Holiday!

Sequin Sneakers

Hi Angels!!  

I wanted to share these Corse Como sequin covered sneakers I recently purchased from myhabit.com that I absolutely love. Yes, I am gearing up for fall, and being the fashionista that I am, I can't just wear any old sneakers!  These arrived to my door in less than 3 days, and were only $45, with free shipping to boot. I plan on wearing them with shorts for the remainder of the summer, while running errands, and with jeans as the days start to get cooler. They come in a variety of colors, gold, blue, and silver. I went with the Mariner Blue. Can't wait to start wearing them around town!
