Head-to-Toe Holiday Looks

The holiday season brings plenty of opportunities to show off your personal style. This is your chance to dazzle! We’ve put together some head-to-toe looks to get you party and event-ready.

The Dress: Metallic gold polka dots dance across a black ground, giving this A-line dress from Vince Camuto a luxe look. The pleated skirt flatters most figures while the short length appeals to your flirty, fun side.

The Rest: Play up the metallic shine of this dress with the sophisticated goldtone pave drop earrings from Vince Camuto. Go sky-high with these Dyvine T-strap platform pumps from Steve Madden that visually lengthen your legs. Smooth any figure flaws with Tight-End shaping tights from Spanx and comfortably shape and slim  your tummy, hips, thighs and rear.

Add some starlet glamour to your look with the powder pearl eye trio from Bobbi Brown. As the night goes on, add a little coverage with a coordinating Vince Camuto feather caplet with red carpet-worthy black faux feathers.

Shop the look: Vince Camuto A-line Dress, Vince Camuto Goldtone Pave Drop Earrings, Steve Madden Dyvine T-strap Platform Pumps, Spanx Tight-End Shaping Tights, Bobbi Brown Powder Pearl Eye Trio and Vince Camuto Feather Caplet.

The Dress: This JS Boutique dress outshines the Christmas lights at the office cocktail party with dazzling sequins.  Royal blue glitters with every step, mimicking the beauty of a starry night sky.

The Rest: Old friends silver and blue meet when you wear these Julie pumps from Gianni Bini with allover glitter. Continue the theme with deco-inspired blue and silver drop earrings from Cezanne.

Emphasize eyes with the help of MAC’s Fluidline gel liner, Lancome’s Definicils Precious Cells High Definition Amplifying Mascara and Bobbi Brown’s Caviar & Oyster shadow collection.

The Rest: Glisten down to the floor with these jewel sandals from Gianni Bini with rhinestone accents. Keep the silver sparkle going with Nadri crystal teardrop earrings.

Start the night off right with a glowing face to match your dress with MAC Prep + Prime Skin lotion.  Color Design Infinite 24-Hour Longwear Eye Shadow from Lancome gives you shimmering eyes without the worry of turning into a pumpkin at midnight.

The Rest: A row of studs evoke edgy shimmer on these equestrian-inspired Billie boots from Arturo Chiang. Just as sequins and beads enchant on an ornate dress, these studs complete the casual look with style.

Your face will stay flawless all day with Double Wear Stay-in-Place makeup from Estee Lauder.

Add a pop of color with the high shine of Origins Liquid Lip Color and high-potency hues of the Limited Edition Fade Resistant Gloss Shine nail polish from Lancome Vernis in Love.

Boy Meets Girl: Herringbone Patterns

This season, women’s fashion is all about boy meets girl. Traditional patterns put a menswear spin on ladylike silhouettes.

Named for the shape of the herring’s backbone, the herringbone pattern is made up of short, slanted parallel lines that create a broken chevron-like shape. Herringbone patterns are found in brickwork, tile and textiles and are traditionally associated with wool menswear.

This season, shake up the expected with a feminine take on this classic pattern.

1. Antonio Melani Elvin herringbone jacket and Maxine herringbone wide-leg pants: An updated take on the traditional herringbone suit, the Elvin jacket features a kissing front and curve-hugging fit that couples well with the flattering wide-leg silhouette of the Maxine pants.

2. Preston & York Cecile dress: Camel herringbone and espresso colorblocking create a trend-loving look. An inset waist features shiny goldtone hardware.

3. Antonio Melani Caleigh dress: This dress features black and white herringbone with a face-framing cowlneck. A banded waist with button details slims your figure.

4. Vince Camuto suede and tweed dress: One of our favorite feminine takes on this classic pattern, this dress has a curve-hugging silhouette and real brown suede piecing in all the right places.

The Dress and The Rest: Ladylike Looks

Trends come and go, but one fashion staple never goes out of style — the dress. This timeless silhouette is favored year after year, season after season. This fall, pair flawless lines and feminine details with chic accessories for a classic look.

The Dress: In rich allspice ponte knit, this Antonio Melani Navey dress is an excellent alternative to basic black. The silhouette hugs your curves and hides problem areas with a box-pleated peplum. Contoured seaming, a rounded V-neck and effortless cap sleeves ensure a classic, uncomplicated fit.

The Rest: The clean lines of this stunning dress call for  jewelry that accents the dress without taking away from it. From the kate spade new york Bright Spot collection, this necklace adds a touch of sparkle and shine with a crystal-encrusted pendant. Bring the glimmer to your ears with the matching stud earrings. The Red Magma ring from Glitterings gives you a statement piece in coordinating and cutting-edge red magma crystal rocks. Complete the look with luxurious burgundy suede pumps from Steve Madden and a fresh, feminine fragrance like Chloe.

Shop the look: Antonio Melani Navey Peplum Dress, kate spade new york Bright Spot Mini Pendant Necklace, kate spade new york Bright Spot Stud Earrings, Glitterings Red Magma Statement RingSteve Madden Remmedy Suede Pumps and Chloe Eau de Parfum Spray.

The Dress: Simple yet stunning, this knit dress from Vince Camuto is a versatile day-to-evening piece. A unique draped crossover detail at the waist flatters your curves, while a V-back and exposed back zipper add modern edge.

The Rest: The Nora clutch from Vince Camuto is luxe and sleek with deceptively simple black and goldtone accents. Real fur and leather ensure vintage glam. Continue the sophistication with Elvin booties from Vince Camuto in soft suede and fierce glossy croco leather. Crystal stud hoop earrings from R.J. Graziano accent the goldtone hardware of the Nora clutch, keeping the look modern. Add a nude lipstick, like Dior Rouge Dior Nude in Twill, to balance the fiery red of your dress.

Shop the look: Vince Camuto Boatneck Knit Dress, Vince Camuto Nora Clutch, Vince Camuto Elvin Mixed-Media BootiesR.J. Graziano Crystal Studs Hoop Earrings and Dior Rouge Dior Nude Lipstick.

The Dress: Allover favela red lace makes a sultry statement in this Lizzie lace dress from French Connection. Contrasting white lining and simple construction make a pretty picture.

The Rest: From Roberta Chiarella, a statement necklace in turquoise stones splashes color into your wardrobe and emboldens this look. Pull it all together with the Thea chain tassel box clutch from BCBGMAXAZRIA in textured teal. The Geen pump from Guess is sophisticated in a sky-high heel yet doesn’t detract with its natural color. A rosy, feminine blush goes well with this ladylike lace dress. We like the Guerlain Rose Aux Joues blush duo in Golden High.

Shop the look: French Connection Lizzie Lace Dress, Roberta Chiarella Stone Statement Necklace, BCBGMAZAZRIA Thea Chain-Tassel Box ClutchGuess Geen Pumps and Guerlain Rose Aux Joues Blush Duo.

Pinspiration: Dillard’s Creative Team Pinterest Boards

Pinterest has become a social networking phenomenon, rising to popularity at a stunning pace. Do you use Pinterest? What do you pin? We caught up with three members of our staff to find out what they are pinning and why.

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I like to wear a lot of flowy pieces that aren’t too clingy. I’m a minimalist when it comes to jewelry, but I make up for it with bright colors, complex patterns and high-heel shoes. I also like things that are really different and unique. I get a lot of my inspiration from the trendy dressers of Hong Kong.

Q: What do you look for when pinning something?
A: I usually don’t go hunting for things to pin. But, I like to share things with my friends to have everyone’s opinion on different dresses or tops I’m iffy about.

Shop Kara’s looks Restaurant Date: BCBGMAXAZRIA Juna Colorblock Dress; Movie Night: Kensie Sleeveless Dress;  Cocktails: Gianni Bini Lennon Ruffle Dress; Salsa Dancing: BCBGeneration Hi-Low Hem Dress; and Bowling: Gianni Bini Sue Blouse

Q: What was your inspiration for pinning day to night looks?
A: I often find myself shopping for either work clothes or going-out clothes. But for the occasional time when these two events meet it can be a bit of a fashion emergency. When I find things that I can wear to the office and after work, I really feel I’ve hit the jackpot.

Q: What is your favorite item on your board?
A: The French Connection Electric Sequins dress — a fun dress that can be paired under a sleek blazer or cardigan for the office then worn alone at night. This little number is definitely a day booster and night winner.

Get Roxanna’s looks Tribal Statement: Vince Camuto Tribal-Print Dress; Office Chic: MICHAEL Michael Kors Sleeveless Dress; Wild Side: Calvin Klein Animal-Print Dress; Spirit Booster: French Connection Electric Sequins Dress; and Beaded Bliss: Gianni Bini Cameron Beaded Dress

Q: What is your poolside style?
A: When the weather turns warm I love being near the water. Since I’m at the pool or lake so often I need lots of options when it comes to swimwear. I love wearing bright colors and fun prints at parties, but when I’m relaxing with my family I tend to keep it more low-key and modest. No matter what the occasion, I love glamorous coverups and caftans.

Q: What are your must-have summer accessories?
A:I’m going to need a pair of oversize sunglasses, a big floppy hat, comfortable sandals and of course sunscreen!

Juniors: Bold. Bright. Neons.

It’s time to shift out of neutral and into neon.

Don’t be afraid to drive in the fast lane with bold colors. Get up to speed for day or night with our tips:

Think of neon as the new neutral. Add a shock of color to denim by pairing this Copper Key burnout tank with your favorite boyfriend jeans, sky-high heels and a killer clutch.

Play with color. The old adage “Less Is More” does not apply here. Put bold colors together for standout style. For a casual daytime look, pair this Copper Key tie-front tee with  these Big Star remy neon shorts. Complete the look with your favorite wedges and understated accessories so the boldly colored tee and shorts can be the main attraction.

Light up the night. Bold neon bands add pizzazz to this little black dress from Jodi Kristopher and this strapless sequined dress from As U Wish is dazzling. To complete your neon look, add bright pumps.
