This holiday fashion report is a 2-parter. Input from our celebrity stylist AND our editor. Have fun playing with dresses, ladies!

Part 1: Holiday Dresses for less $100

by Ali Levine and the ALD Team

The holidays are expensive and there is just no way around it. Between buying your bestie that perfect makeup palette and a stellar watch for the BF, your bank account is sure to be crying by the end of the season. Thankfully, it is a time of year filled with so much joy and cheer that we cannot help but smile regardless of the dent from buying all those prezzies. And although it is much better to give than to receive, it is nice to give a little back to ourselves! With all those Holiday events on the horizon, you’ll need to give yourself some new options for your wardrobe. So we went on a quest for the best luxe for less dresses that will make you and your wallet happy. Not to mention, you’ll look fab for less than a Benjamin!

Part 2. VINTAGE FASHION

by Dawn Garcia

Now I’m chiming in. As the Editor, I also LOVE Fashion and my favorite fashions are more vintage inspired. I came across a few beautiful looks I couldn’t help but share.

The colors, the elegance, the beautiful sophistication – it is why vintage fashion is so wonderfully fitting for this gal.

Emerald Greed with cream or sparkly accents ALWAYS catch glances – in the best of ways!

I am a fan of long and adorning. Why? Because even petite girls like myself feel sophisticated and look beautiful in any one of these styles. Go for gem-like colors to add that extra FAB!

Get playful with bright greens and blues or pinks and pop it with gorgeous makeup and of course, #RED #LIPS!

Always be YOU! Whatever your style. Get playful, have fun, and tap into your inner dainty vixen.

WHERE TO BUY Vintage Fashion: PinUp Girl Clothing, Varga Store, Unique Vintage, Mod Cloth, Rushe

Happy Holidays!!

XOXO

Dawn

Dawn Garcia

Dawn Garcia is an LA born and bred Hispanic Latina. Growing up in a mixed race family that assimilated, and another that didn’t really allow for curiosity, the culmination of both became the driving force for pushing boundaries, challenging the status quo, and devoting her life to the fight for equality and social justice. In a quest to go against the grain, she started writing at a very young age to process trauma and better understand her innate desire to live out her free-spirited nature. She is a journalist and screenwriter who has developed original TV series’ and films. Her genres of choice are drama, dark comedy, and comedy. Her strengths lie in empathetic story lines, descriptors and dialogue — both natural and raw — and while diffused with humor, inevitably she hopes to show the thread that connects us all. She is currently developing a comedy TV Series for MGM Studios/Gato Grande Productions. She is a mother, an activist, and lover of life.
