Style update: 5 Ways to Update your Holiday look For Less

It's the holiday season once again.  As we are shopping for others it's still important to refresh and update your look.  Here's a few style tips that will update your look with out breaking the bank.

One:  Attention grabbing lip color l'oreal in True Red $8.95 at your local drug stores.  Or Bath and body works color glosses Pomme Cider $7.00  If you want more bang for your buck.  Invest in one of clinique's gift packages with gloss and lip color in A different grape.  The gift package features eye shadows, eyeliner, and all over eyes eye cream.  $26.00

Two:  A sequin piece.  Either a skirt, tank or jacket.  I have found these pieces available on a few brand name discount websites such as hautecouture.com or beyond the rack.com.  They have looks featured from designers such as Matty M, Bcbg and Splendid. These looks range in price from $29.00 to $68.00.  What a bargain!  As oppossed to full retail from $58.00 on up to $200

Three:  Scarves are very popular.  And can be found at beyondtherack.com, after6pm.com or hautecouture.com anywhere from $9.00 to $59.00.  You can do a fun faux fur or a plaid.  Great addition to any outfit.

Four:  Textured tights.  These come in a variety of colors and looks.  Great paired with boots and a sweater dress.  The best ones I have found are at Nordstrom.com  starting at $10.00.

Five:  A broach or statement necklace.  You can find these at a variety of prices $11.00 on up.  Again Beyondtherack.com and hautecouture.com have some of these great pieces.

Guys It's a little bit easier for you to create a updated holiday look.

  One:  Scarves:  a bright red or plaid will brighten your holiday cheer.  after6pm.com Has some great ones.  Also check beyondtherack.com  

Two:  A velour or velvet Jacket.  Search on Beyondtherack.com the giltgroup.com or hautecouture.com  You can find these from $89.00 on up. You can have this in your wardrobe for years to come!

Three: A cozy red sweater.  These are great layered with jackets or layered with a crisp white colored buttom up underneath.  Find nice quality sweaters at a fraction of the price at beyondtherack.com or hautecouture.com

Four:  Shiny new cuff links.  You can locate these at any of the discount sites I mentioned above.  $34.00 on up.

Five:    A bright red tie.  It adds a holiday flair with a striped shirt and your velvet jacket.  Again you can find some really nice brand name ties for less at giltgroup.com beyondtherack.com or hauetcouture.com  Name your price.

These websites feature different designers daily.  I have seen same season merchandise on these sites at low prices. I look forward to hearing about all your finds!

Happy shopping and to all a good night!
