Holiday party season is upon us! With every party invitation comes the question, "what should I wear?" I love having a few holiday staples on-hand like this festive red dress that make dressing for events a breeze! Of course, you can always add a little sparkle to your favorite "LBD" by spending some extra time on your beauty routine for special events. For this holiday look, a friend of mine did my bold makeup look; you can find her on Instagram: @Farasha.MUA. She is just getting her makeup business started, but she was so fun to work with and gave me the bold look I was going for.

Dallas weather doesn't transition to winter until late in the season, so when weather finally cooled off last week, I wore this festive red dress with black tights, black suede over-the-knee boots (on sale right now!), and a black cape coat to make this dress cold-weather appropriate.
