Accessorizing Your Vintage Holiday

I'm of the notion that vintage is for everyone! You've just got to know how to pull it off. The easiest vintage to wear is by far vintage accessories. Not sure where to start? Just say desinger! Go gaga over Givenchy, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Chanel!!

For the vintage newbie, start with designer vintage. If you wear it right, no one will even know it's vintage (unless you want them to, of course)!

This vintage Chanel necklace gleams in gold. Draw attention to your assets by wearing a V-neck dress with a perfect length necklace. Add this striking Givenchy heart necklace to your holiday pantsuit. This will add a stylish feminine touch to pants. PS Don't forget the heels!!

Pair a chunky Christian Dior necklace with a strapless number. This will draw the attention to your face and collarbone. Skip the big earrings and bring all the attention to the neckline. This stunning silver Yves Saint Laurent necklace would evoke glamour when paired with bold colors. Think red, black or green. Avoid pastels and greys if you want the necklace to "pop".

Add vintage and add glamour to your holidays!

Luscious Red Lips

There is something nostalgic about bright red lips. Red lipstick is a must have accessory for vintage lovers, pinups, and girls galore.

Steps to Luscious Red Lips:

1. Before applying the perfect shade, apply liner first!

2. I love my the make-up counter at Dillard's. They always take the time to help me find the perfect red. I can rock a bright red in the winter. A dark red looks sultry with my summer tan!

3. Some of my favorite reds include, (1) MAC Ruby Woo. It’s even a fave of Dita Von Teese (per her Twitter). The color is thick and rich, blue-red, and it does not budge all day. And its only $14 USD. (2) Revlon Fire and Ice. Perfect coral red that's been around since the 50s. Silky smooth, soft, and creamy. (3) Chanel Rouge Allure Romantic 28. Darker red is perfect for tan skin tones. "An instant icon, this luxurious lipstick formula combines lustrous colour, sensational comfort and fabulous wear."

Be bold. Be daring. Be you!!
