In the December issue of Hilton Head Monthly, we ran a fashion spread about the typical little black dress. However, the looks were oh so not typical. With great thanks to two local shops, The Porcupine and Palmettoes, we were able to create two beautiful looks with the same black dress. One look is an example of an outfit you could wear to your office holiday  party and the second is an example of how you could wear the same exact dress on News Years Eve only with different accessories.  After looking at these photos you will see how you can dress your little black dress up or down for holiday parties, New Years Eve and other special events.

Holiday Office Party

This black dress by Mossoni is found at The Porcupine in The Village at Wexford. Add black tights and a bag for a sophisticated look. All accessories with this outfit and the one below can be found at The Porcupine.

New Years Eve

Go glam for 2010 with an updo and a simple clutch. Long, striking earrings and a cool cuff complete a show-stopping style that is fun and confident.

Holiday Office Party

This black sleeveless dress by Robin Jordan, New York, is available at Palmettoes in the Sea Pines Center and is paired with a gold-and-black checked jacket by Anthracite, New York.

New Years Eve

A black jacket with ribbon design by Anthracite, New York will keep you warm outside during a chilly night. Then once at your party, you can take the jacket off to reveal the classic, sexy black dress underneath. Find all items in this picture and the one above at Palmettoes.

The Womens Fellowship Friends and Hospice Community Thrift will present a fashion show called “Fashions for Frugalistas” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 3, at St. Andrew By-The-Sea United Methodist Church, 20 Pope Ave. There will be entertainment, free holiday cakes, pies, cookies and beverages.

One of the hottest trends right now is green nail polish. Although it may seem like an unusual color for the nails, it certainly is a color that can flatter everyone at every age. And it certainly is a color that will get noticed!

Good news for nail polish lovers –Chanel has released a limited-edition of a patent jade nail polish this past October. Check out the picture below to see how it looks on. What do  you think? Is this a color you will wear this season?

Catch a behind the scenes glimpse at Jadyn Maria and how she is creating her star-quality look with the help of Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Collection.

Since it is the first day of fall and Labor Day is well gone and passed, lots of people believe it is huge fashion faux pas to continue to wear white. But does this rule still hold true or is it outdated? Below are some comments from well established fashionistas about their thoughts on wearing white after Labor Day. You may be pleasantly surprised that there is no need to pack  up your white this year!

1. “We definitely feel it’s a myth,” says Melissa McGraw from WorkChic.com. “White can be worn all year round whether it’s your accessories, your pants or your shirt. White is neutral and you can pair it with other colors and it looks great all year round”
2. Don”t put away white denim, though, says Suze Yalof Schwartz, executive fashion editor at large at Glamour. Nothing is more chic than white jeans in the wintertime with a chunky cozy sweater or a blazer and leather boots, she says. That will look “very Michael Kors.”
3. “You wouldn”t wear a strapless sundress if it were white linen or black linen in the fall,” she says. “Summer clothes are summer clothes, but, colorwise, it’’s more interesting and fun to play with your wardrobe and not leave any color out” (Designer Shoshanna Gruss).
4. White pieces are a wardrobe staple these days, and should not be reserved for the summer months. White jeans are appropriate year-round (and in hotter places, are really more appropriate for winter than for summer). Make a white dress or skirt fall-appropriate by pairing it with a light-weight sweater or denim jacket and closed-toed shoes.

What do you think about wearing white through the Fall and Winter? Are you going to break this old rule this year?
