HOLIDAY PARTY STYLE: EMERALD GREEN JUMPSUIT

The Steele Maiden: Emerald Green Jumpsuit - Holiday Party Style

Now that it’s officially November, I think it’s fair to start throwing the world ‘holidays’ around, right? I picked up this emerald green jumpsuit for our trip (specifically for our time in Edinburgh, Scotland – because if we’re being honest I pack really strategically with outfits inspired by each place) but once I wore it realized immediately how perfect it will be for holiday parties this season.

HOLIDAY OUTERWEAR: FAUX FUR SCARF AND PLAID COAT

The Steele Maiden: Holiday outerwear - faux fur scarf and plaid coat

Of all the pieces I first debuted at the beginning of the holiday season (see them all in my ‘Complete Guide to the Holidays), this plaid coat and faux fur scarf have easily gotten the most wear since then. Okay this flannel sleepshirt is in the running.. but the first two have definitely seen the most light of day.

NEW YEARS EVE STYLE: VELVET WRAP DRESS AND TASSEL EARRINGS

NYE Party Style - Velvet Wrap Dress and Tassel Earrings

After the month of November (a month that calling ‘busy’ would be an understatement, had zero free weekends and led me to being painfully sick with a stomach bug for several days) – Adam and I decided to ring in December with a veryyy low key weekend. We slept in late, baked snickerdoodle cookies (my favorite), picked out our Christmas tree and decorated it, and went out/got dressed only when we felt like it. Not when an impending schedule dictated that we must. It was just what the doctor ordered. And luckily for the blog’s sake, twirling around downtown in this pretty velvet wrap dress was exactly what I felt like wearing on Sunday evening.

COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE HOLIDAYS: VOLUME II, ISSUE I

*PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE ‘THE STEELE MAIDEN’S COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE HOLIDAYS’ LOADS ABOVE – CLICK TO EXPAND AND VIEW IN FULL SCREEN*

And I’m back with Part Two! This time, adding ideas for home, decor and entertaining to the first half of my guide which tackled style and gifts (jump straight to page 30 if you want to get to the new section.. although it’s best read front to back!). Now that it’s complete, I’m hoping more than ever that this handy guide serves you up ideas and inspiration all season long. Something that answers those tricky questions like ‘What do I wear for my winter bridal shower? An ice-skating date? Holiday travel?’ or ‘What do I get my outdoorsy Dad or minimalist boss for the holidays? or ‘What festive cocktail could I serve when friends come over?’. My hope is that you can reference this guide from now through New Year’s any time you have a question about how to handle the season in style. That way you can quickly get back to the more important things, like spending time with family & friends… and sipping champagne. Enjoy! xx
