Festive [fes-tiv]: an adjective pertaining to something suitable for a feast or merry making. What comes to mind? Sparkle. That’s right, it’s time to bring out your inner showgirl because the holidays are the perfect time to pull out all the stops. But be careful – not all that glitters is indeed gold. Little hits here and there are the easiest way to go, so have fun with it. If you’re going to wear sparkle you better be ready to smile. These accessories will amp up any old LBD or even jeans and a tee in the most high fashion, festivus way. Now go find some mistletoe.

There is something about velvet that exudes pure decadence. Sure, there have been some questionable, over-the-top velvet fashion trends in the past, but the 2010 versions are much more wearable. A touch of velvet goes a long way, adding some contrast and class to your winter ensemble. The trick to keeping the look current? Experiment with colour and texture and please refrain from sporting velvet head-to-toe.

1. Style inspiration: Alexander Wang Fall 2010. Photo courtesy of Style.com.
2. Look for velvet pieces with a unique pattern and a flattering silhouette, like this Nanette Lepore dress (Approx. $348). Available at Shopbop.
3. If you’re velvet-shy, try a burnout pattern for a subtle touch of sheen. Winter Kate Burnout Velvet Cardigan (Approx. $248), available at Nordstrom Online.
4. Velvet purses are the perfect go-to accessories for holiday events. Kimchi Blue Velvet Bow Clutch (Approx. $38), available at Urban Outfitters.
5. Add a pop of colour and texture to your look with some killer velvet platforms. Aldo Baisley Platform Pumps (Approx. $80), at Aldo Shoes.
