The 2016 Holiday Accessory Guide
Unless you’re going for full-on glitter, when it comes to nailing holiday accessories, love is in the subtle nuances. (Best part: They don’t look out of place the rest of the year.)
Little Black Shoes
Think outside the basic-pump box: Delicate jeweled flats and satin slides pair well with shorter hemlines, while elaborate heels and glam details go a long way toward dressing up a streamlined jumpsuit.
