Dear Diary, I work in a pretty corporate environment, and my office Christmas party is coming up next week. I want a look that is fun and festive but also appropriate for a party that includes my whole company. I also want to avoid anything that looks too young. Any suggestions? - April Dear April, Your dilemma is one that many young professionals or even established professionals probably wrestle with every year, but for a holiday party or any occasion that requires you to dress to impress, you can't go wrong with a great pair of dressed-up wide leg pants in winter white. A festive red blouse and patent peep-toes help complete the look, while sparkly jewels and a bronze clutch seal the deal. For a final holiday touch (and my personal favorite part of the look), grab this luxe (and surprisingly affordable) faux fur cape to keep you warm on your way to and from the party. Now, just remember that you're probably surrounded by the people who write the checks, and you're all set for a great night. xoxo Get the Look!1. Elie Tahari Mariah Pants $188 8. Oasis Straw Bobble Clutch $25 Whether you're attending an upcoming party or just don't know what to get for that certain person on your list, these fun and easy gift ideas are perfect for hostesses and beyond. Satisfy a sweet tooth with indulgent chocolate-covered Oreos or gourmet hot cocoa mixes; surprise the eternal entertainer with a sleek serving board or cheeky cocktail shaker; or pamper a stressed-out friend with relaxing home scents, a holiday bath scrub or an interesting coffee table book. The hardest part? Giving these gifts away. You may want to scoop up a couple for your own home this holiday season! xoxo 5. Brooklyn Slate Cheese Board $30 8. Mix Master Cocktail Shaker $24 Stylishly tackle your holiday shopping list with of-the-moment printed skinnies, a loose tee and cozy sweater. Keep warm with these chic shearling lined booties that are just as perfect for running errands around town as they are for relaxing fireside. Add minimal jewelry and a holds-everything hobo bag to complete the look. Happy shopping! xoxo Get the Look!3. Sure "Wood" Look Good Boot $75
If you love the look of a few well-placed sequins but don't really care to deck yourself head to toe in them, then this flirty little skirt is your holiday answer. For an unexpected look, pair it with a relaxed and casual sweatshirt (like this dreamy little number by Nation LTD) and wedge ankle booties (and tights if you wish) instead of heels. Finish the look with edgy, mixed metals jewelry, a simple leather clutch and a faux fur stole to combat the cold. The mix of dressed-up glam and casual basics gives rock star vibes and may just make you the star of your next holiday party. xoxo Get the Look!1. Nation LTD Pomona Sweatshirt $74

Dear Diary, This Christmas, I'm going to my boyfriend's family Christmas party. I want to come off sexy and stylish, but also appropriate - his grandmother will be there! Any suggestions? - Jaime Dear Jaime, For a look that is both appropriate and hinting sex appeal, a form-fitted sweater dress is the way to go. (Just make sure the fit is right - a fit that is too tight erases its appropriateness.) Add edgy fringed booties, oversized sunglasses (if it's a day party), and antique gold jewelry for a look that is pulled together without being over the top. Finish with a contrasting print satchel, and don't forget a gift for the hostess! A great bottle of wine or novelty chocolates are sure to start you off on the right foot. (Stay tuned for our upcoming holiday gift guide for perfect hostess gifts.) xoxo P.S. - Congratulations to the winner of our Vanessa Mooney Giveaway - Brittany Michelle! xo Get the Look!1.
