Holiday soiree season is here! No doubt your December calendar has started to fill up. Time to celebrate! And it’s possibly time to shop or re-invent something special from your existing wardrobe. In true holiday spirit, The Fashion Plate is here to share some of the hottest holiday trends.
 
Burgundy – Red will always be holiday’s chic and cheerful color, but burgundy is this year’s rich and bold alternative to red. Don a dress or blouse in brilliant burgundy or choose an accessory in the hue-like velvet pumps, evening bag or even nail polish. 
 

                                
 

Sparkle – Tis’ the season to shine! Pull it off with a short skirt in sequins, a be-jeweled clutch evening bag or a metallic heel. Substitute black heels with silver, gold or pewter this holiday season. A metallic strappy heel will combine edge and femininity. Glittery dresses are out in full force too. A shimmering tee is a holiday essential. Paired with denim, dressy pants or a flirty skirt, it transitions easily from day to night. Don’t forget to look online and check sale racks. Hopefully you took advantage of Black Friday or Cyber Monday discounts!
 
 
     
 
Statement pieces – Let your style do the talking for you. Any time you want to stand out in the party crowd, then you want a gorgeous statement piece. Time to dazzle, captivate and turn heads! Try a Goddess-type gown or one with an asymmetrical hem. Pull out that chunky jewelry, and don’t be afraid to make a bold style statement.

Sleep On It
Some mornings I wake up, check Twitter, and see the following: “The struggle is live today” or “I’m captain of the struggle bus this morning.” Did you ever think about what is the cause of the struggle? I’ll tell you: insufficient sleep. College students are probably the worst offenders when it comes to not getting […]
A Dangerous Eight Seed
Anyone who was channel surfing last Sunday had to stop and marvel at the Carolina-Miami game and how great that first half was. Even if they didn’t know the teams. That’s how good, and at such a high level, the ACC championship game was played. Both teams scored better than a point per possession, shooting […]
Light Sensitive at Nasher
Immediately upon entering the exhibit, one is greeted by images at once recognizable and disorienting. The photographs in “Light Sensitive” are not merely beautifully captured or distilled moments in time. Rather, they are hyper-consciously manufactured artistic works. In this exhibit the idea of photography as an unbiased portal into reality interacts powerfully with the more […]
