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.

HOLIDAY PARTY STYLE: EMBROIDERED DRESS AND STATEMENT EARRINGS

The Steele Maiden: Holiday Party Dress - LBD embroidered floral dress with sheer mesh bodysuit

Hello party season. So nice to see you again. Statement earrings, red lips, fancy clutches that barely fit a thing. I love it all. And while a little black dress will certainly do just fine with any of the pre-mentioned accessories.. why not mix things up a bit? An embroidered party dress is the way to go.

HOW TO WEAR BROOCHES ON A JACKET

The Steele Maiden: How to wear brooches on a cargo jacket for fall

Truth be told, I love a good ‘basic’ outfit. Skinny jeans, knee high leather boots, turtleneck sweater. It’s easy and always works. But I hate to feel boring when it comes to fashion, so I always try to incorporate one little signature touch to make an outfit feel unique. Adding a cluster of brooches to a jacket has long since been a favorite little style trick and I’m thrilled to see them making such a comeback this season.

FLORAL MINISKIRT AND VELVET HAIR BOW

The Steele Maiden: Floral miniskirt black bomber jacket and velvet hair bow

Thank goodness that winter weather from last week wasn’t here to stay (yet) and I’m able to sneak in a few more days of bare legs. Since I know that won’t last forever, I soaked up the weekend’s fall weather in this jacquard floral miniskirt and simple layers. Plus a velvet hair bow – because I can’t stop lately.

BEST OF: VELVET FAVORITES FOR FALL

The Steele Maiden: Trend for Fall - Velvet clothing, shoes and home decor

Of all the trends this fall – or dare I say it.. holiday season – the one I may be most excited about is velvet. In rich jewel tones on everything from sumptuous side chairs to luxe sneakers to sharp blazers, velvet is popping up everywhere. And I admittedly want to add touches of it everywhere. As George Costanza (of Seinfeld fame) once said ‘I would drape myself in velvet if it were socially acceptable’. This season, it just may be. Here – a few of my very favorite options.
