It’s officially 2016! Get a head start on incorporating Pantone’s hottest colors of the year – rose quartz and serenity – with the help of Ann Taylor. Add a touch of the refined rose tone and cooler tranquil blue in everything from pleated skirts and polished heels to sleek clutches and effortless winter wear.
There are so many reasons why I adore this holiday outfit. Number one, I had no idea what to wear while visiting my family for the holiday season. Number two, I was striving to look stylish and comfortable. Number three, I’m a mom of two boys (and stepson) and my holiday budget consisted of several additional gifts.
I was pressed for time and needed to finish packing! On a last-minute shopping trip (for wrapping paper) I spotted this gorgeous red cable pull-over sweater in Target. It was on sale and paired nicely with my faux leather leggings. I also wore my Guess booties for a chic, edgey look.
Both pieces can be worn with a variety of different items; such as a classic button-down shirt, denim jacket, or fur vest. The possibilities are endless! I love it when a great fashion moment happens on a budget.
It’s no secret that I’m a Pinterest addict and this week would be no different! I’m packing for a holiday trip and want to ensure that everything’s organized. My biggest obstacle is planning my attire for the entire week. There’s nothing worse than realizing I left something at home and instantly start to locate the nearest Target.
Regardless, there are some girls that get it right (in terms of packing.) We all know them and recognize them in the airport. They’re the ladies wearing dark sunglasses, a Tory Burch Carry-On, bottled water, and portable cellphone charger. This elite group of women are effortless, cool but most importantly have not left anything.
To help the rest of us (that are like myself) with packing tips, I want to share the infographics below.

Last night, at the Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiere, actress Lupita Nyongo look glamorous on the red carpet. The Lancôme ambassadress captured eyes in a classic, yet modern look. “We went for old Hollywood glamour complete with red lips and winged liner, but with an unexpected twist, ” explains Barose. “The addition of an intense metallic silver liner created an element that made the look both classic and futuristic.”

With Fall and Winter on the doorstep, office space air-conditioning and winter climates can put the freeze on your ritzy style if you have to cover up in bulky undergarments and sweaters. Enter Slanky: one-of-kind nearly invisible base-layer underwear that acts as a secret second skin. Perfect for the work place, special occasions or bridal parties -suitable for young and older alike! The essential undergarment when there is a chill in the air and everyone wants to look their best. In the workplace or out and about, you no longer have to choose between looking stunning and staying warm. Slip on your Slanky and be insulated from the cold without sacrificing your curvaceous silhouette.
Made of a supple, super-stretchy fabric, Slanky feels soft and luxurious against your skin. It¹s so thin, you can wear Slanky under your silkiest blouse or slimmest dress and only you¹ll know it¹s there. With skin tone-matching colors and an under-the-bust cut, Slanky can even be worn undetectable beneath sheer and plunge neckline tops and dresses. The body-hugging fabric gently smoothes, shapes, and lifts without squeezing for all-day cozy comfort. Slanky fits snug around your hips and the feminine lace trim prevents it from ever sliding up.
Slanky is available in four colors blush, cinnamon, hazelnut, and black; and 2 neckline options: with or without a lacy neckline. Available in sizes XS to XL, Slanky is every woman¹s secret weapon for staying warm, looking beautiful, and feeling fabulous.
If you are tired of sacrificing comfort for style, then you should definitely give Slanky a try!

Founder, Karin Nieuwoudt was dressing to attend a high-end Dallas trade event. Knowing that convention centers usually have the air-conditioning on full blast, Karin had a big problem: How could she maintain her sexy, polished appearance and not spend the day freezing or have to cover up with a bulky jacket? With a pair of opaque tights, some scissors, and a needle and thread, Karin fashioned the first Slanky there on the spot when the idea for Slanky was born.
Since then, Karin has developed a unique product that is both functional and sexy to help all women feel and look their best.
Ann Taylor has your go-to outfits and accessories – and at an amazing price point! Add serious sparkle to your looks with festive pieces, such as sequin ankle pants, glitter flats, feathered hem dress, velvet skirt dress and an embellished sweater.
