While I may not be ready to tackle all of my holiday shopping, decorating, and baking, I am ready to dress to the nines for some holiday parties! I feel like holiday parties are my only real opportunities to get dressed up every year! Aside from weddings of course. I have fallen hard for the slip dress trend, but have struggled with how to wear them. The shimmery fabric feels a little too fancy during the summer. But the silhouette is too bare for the winter! Luckily, I found an easy and chic way to style a slip dress!

Holiday Red Lipsticks + On Sale Party Dresses I’m Loving
Things are starting to feel pretty festive around these parts. Which is why I thought I would share some of my favorite holiday red lipsticks. I love wearing red lipstick year round, but you have to admit, it is particularly charming about a red lip during the holidays.
Is there anything more French, classic, or glamorous than a red Chanel Lipstick? If you’re after a matte lip, you have to try their Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in Rouge Charnel. It’s the most perfect red ever and would be a great staple piece for your beauty wardrobe. If you prefer a little shine in your lip color, this hydrating lipstick from Lancome would be so pretty in any shade of red, but especially in Absolute Rouge.
If brighter red shades aren’t your style, sometimes in the fall and winter I like to go for a really vampy dark red lip. This Laura Mercier lipstick {Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick} in Rouge Muse is so glam and moody. But it comes in other great shades of red too! I also love a good brick red shade, and this lipstick in Ruby would fit the bill. It’s supposed to give “just-kissed” look which seems perfect for under the mistletoe.
I love the dual shades of this YSL balmy lipstick. It will be a little more sheer, so it would make the perfect gift. Not only is it super unique and cute gift. Especially if the receiver isn’t one to wear full-blown lip color.
If you love a product that can multitask as much as I do, then this RMS Beauty lip and cheek combo. I feel like it would give the prettiest flush to lips and cheeks. Almost like you just stepped out of the cold!
And of course, nothing pairs better with red lipstick than a super glam party dress! Luckily I found a few really great party dresses on sale and rounded them up below!
Matthew and I are so lucky to be able to take some time off between Christmas and New Year’s Day this year! We try to take as much time as we can during the holidays to spend with friends and family and find some fun things to do in SoCal. We also like to use the time to take care of some things around the house, but planning a few fun outings is a must. We have family in Los Angeles and San Diego that we’re planning on visiting, so I’ve rounded up some fun things to do in SoCal between the holidays!
