This Minimalist 3-Piece Outfit Is Perfect for the Holidays

Photo via: @elinkling

Holiday party outfit ideas often have a glitzy connotation which can lead to a lack of inspiration that caters to those with a more minimalist taste. Enter this pared down yet incredibly stylish look from Elin Kling. It's perfect for every holiday from Christmas to New Year's and everything in between. The major plus is it only calls for 3 key pieces: an oversized beige sweater, sleek black satin skirt, and black mule heels.

BOLD LASHES

ph: Vogue UK

Major crush on the bold lashes at Gucci S/S 2013. I know false lashes are normally associated with over-the-top party looks, but with clean skin + neutral lip color they're understated + chic.
My favorite way to get the look is with Illamasqua false lashes + Duo black eyelash adhesive.

BLUE LASHES

ph: Style Bistro

I know I am late to the party on this, but just came across these backstage beauty shots from Stella McCartney's F/W 2011 show + had to share- Love those bold blue lashes! I'm thinking of trying this out with this Dior mascara. Question is, will I have the guts to go out with it on...

ps- How great does a blue lash look on Sabrina of AfterDrk?!

Sure, it's impressive if you don't/don't have to wear makeup in this heated weather. And letting your face go bare certainly has its merits. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look a little extra glowy for that pool party or naturally dewy for a beach day. All you need is fresh skin, smooth brows, a bit of highlighter and a touch of blush for the perfect summer face. Check out these products to help you achieve that look.

The ultimate influencer, Vogue Editor-In-Chief, and queen of chic, Anna Wintour, shows off what will quickly become your go-to this fall: the red dress. Anna pairs her frock with oxblood boots and a statement necklace, but this look is equally fresh with neutral heels, flats, or even dressed down with a pair of sneakers and a leather jacket. Wear it to work, on a date, or to a party – because what Anna says, we do.
