If you’ve been following along on Celeb Look and have a list of fantastic fashion pieces that you want to add to your wardrobe, here are a few style tips for when you hit the stores in the wee hours:

1. Wear comfortable shoes. No matter how much you may admire Rihanna’s killer boots or Victoria Beckham’s high heels, this is not the time to have fancy feet. You’re going to need to move fast and when you’re done rushing around, you’ll have to stand in long lines at the register, not to mention waiting outside in the cold! Wear running shoes or some other flat shoe – whatever you have that’s most comfortable. Bonus points if they’re warm too.
2. Layer up. You’ll probably be lined up outside in questionable weather, but when you get inside you may overheat if you’re too bulked up in thick sweaters. Wear things that will keep you warm outside, but plan ahead by choosing pieces that you can remove and tie around your waist while waiting to pay for your prized purchases.
3. Choose a purse that you can wear across your body. This isn’t a day you’ll want to carry a little purse in your hand, and with the crowds it’s wise to even avoid a purse that dangles from your shoulder. A bag that straps across your body will be a less likely target for a thief looking to grab and run.
4. Traditional accessories aren’t important when you’re shopping in the dark with crowds of bargain hunters. Instead make your accessories practical – a bottle of water, maybe a small snack, and a phone will be helpful. And keep them in your across-the-body handbag!

With the holiday season (and all of the parties that come along with it) it’s never too early to start picking out little black dresses! If you’re looking for an edgier appearance, then look no further. Jenny McCarthy looks fabulous in black at the Leather Meets Lace fundraiser for autism earlier this month. She combined a black tube dress, knee-high boots, and silver accessories for the event.

You can get this look by pairing a black belted tube dress (only $24.80 at Forever21) with black leather knee high boots from endless.com ($64.95).

This six piece silver bangle set is only $18 at Portial Jewelry and can be worn with almost any outfit! Buy two sets for even more accessorizing.
