The faux-fur shawl is getting a lot of trendy points for the Holiday season this year. Wear it over a metallic ruffled blouse and satin skinny pants with heels. Don’t add anything else but maybe a clutch because the faux-fur shawl is already too bold for an outfit.

Add a vibrant flair to a natural-toned outfit by wearing a jewel toned top cinched with a stylish belt on the waist. If gives the dreary weather something bright to look forward to.

A cowl neck sweater over a long sleeves top, paired with skirt and boots make for a chic look this Holidays. Sweaters are not just functional for the weather anymore. It’s also a good top for a stylish and feminine attire.

And last but not the least, a coat. Gotta have a classic coat to keep you warm while still maintaining your stylish and positive outlook in life. This could match any dress, jeans, pants or skirt outfits.

Find all of these Holiday 2009 Collection at your nearest TJ Maxx store.

And wouldn’t you know it, the dark denim also comes in a lighter version. What’s even more disturbing about these denim boots are the elastic fabric knit top. Don’t get me wrong because I do love denim for jeans, skirts, and jackets. However, I find these denim boots really fugly. The idea alone doesn’t give me the feeling of going to the store to get myself a pair before everyone else buy it. Interestingly enough I have about 5 celebrities whom I think would actually go gaga for denim boots. Take a guess if you want after you let me know if you think denim knee-high-boots are Yay or Nay on the comment box. If you say Yay then bless your hears, and here’s the link to buy it.

This look is supposed to be for the work place. I am not to sure about the sequined caps but I love the short sleeves poplin blouse tucked inside the tweed pencil skirt, accessorized with a nice touch of colored and vertical striped necktie.

For a modern and edgy look, you can add suspenders too. I never thought suspenders could be modern but that’s the vibe I’m getting when put together with a classic blouse and pencil skirt outfit. Then finish it off with a not-so bold patterned tights and black booties. Match the color of the tie with a croc-textured zipper flap clutch.

For a casual look, go for a tiered fringe tank top, paired with skinny jeans, and platform boots with stacked heels. Make the whole outfit chic by adding a sequined clutch, then add a vibrant color through a scarf for a lively casual look. You might also be able to get away with wearing the sequined cap from that first outfit.

For a lovely holiday outfit, Marshalls is giving this lovely colorblock dress that also comes wiht a matching colorblock dress for you daughter, if you have one of course. The black top portion of the Woman’s dress has a sewn-in bib-styled large accents so you don’t need a necklace with this dress on. The skirt is slightly above the knee to accentuate the beautiful patterned tights, paired with peep-toe platform pumps with ribbon accent son the front. A silver clutch finishes the gorgeous holiday look.

The girl’s dress is more of a princess-cut colorblock dress. The white top and crinkled taffeta full skirt is beautifully accented with a pearl and gem stones belt. White tights and black flats which also has ribbon accents on the front to match the Mom’s shoes completes the lovely look for the girl.

You’ll find the fuirst two outfits on any TJ Maxx stores. The holiday matching dresses are from Marshalls.

UrbangOG carries nice products, not only in shoes but also a few clothing, accessories, and handbags. However, their website looked generic. It wasn’t something that would catch your attention at all. Until yesterday. UrbanOG went through a really gorgeous makeover. And I like it!

I like how the whole site was overhauled and not just the front page. The cute little boxes for the selection under each category, and the more organized look for individual product pages. Aesthetics of a website definitely counts when people are shopping. It’s more exciting and surely inspiring.

Great job UrbangOG. I’m definitely looking forward to shopping more in your online store.

Funky Town Jumpsuit : NAY!!

Prints are prints and I like it on a top or a dress. But not in a jumpsuit albeit solid colored jumpsuits are not my thing either as I said earlier. I just went “WHOA” when I saw it. I tried visualizing it with a cropped jacket like either a motorcycle, bomber or denim jacket and paired with pumps. It really is just not my thing. I would feel silly wearing it. This is a classic example of trends not being for everyone.

What do you think? Funky Town Printed Jumpsuit ($27.50), a Yay or Nay? The aforementioned outfit idea might work for you, or not .
