Getting wrapped up in this dress!

I have been sitting on these pictures for a week now and it has been killing me not to share them!!!  If you are just tuning in, well... where have you been?  

All month long I am featuring my favorite things from some of my favorite stores.  The Friends of Fashion Fix Holiday shopping is all about bringing you goods this seasons, along with some savings and discounts.

Today my favorite pick is from Lisa Brainer of Jockey Person 2 Person.  She has a brilliant collection of apparel accessories.  The brilliance behind the collection is that all the pieces are designed to be mixed and matched with each other creating hundreds of outfits with only a few items!  Last week I got my hands on the perfect denim jacket, showing off all the different looks you can get from such a basic piece.  This week it's all about the wrap dress.  Again, it's an item I always put on my clients must have list.  This is a garment that gives any figure instant shape, flattering every curve!  I know it's hard though to find one in which you like the fabrication, print, and fit.  I found it!  This wrap dress is fantastic, and should be in your closet, for many reason.  Here are just a few of them...

1. The black and white pattern.  You can add ann color accessory, shoe, jacket, or cardigan giving it endless style and multiple looks.

2. The fabric is divine.  The fabric of this dress has the perfect weight and thickness.  You won't see what you don't want to see, and you will see all the right shape!

3. The sleeves and collar have the perfect style.  The collar has a tiny cowl detail and the sleeves are 3/4 length.

4.  It's a faux wrap :)  You won't get twisted and lost trying to tie up this beauty.

Person 2 Person...The best denim jacket!

Ladies, ladies, ladies.  I talk a lot about 'must haves' and 'essentials'.  Things that should be in every woman's wardrobe.  In fact, if you've ever been to a Style Right Workshop by Fashion Fix you walk away with an entire checklist of what should be in your closet!  On that check list I have a special little category for 'casual jackets', and the the jacket I talk about at length is the denim jacket!  Seriously, if you are one of my clients reading this article you are rolling your eyes and thinking to your self "...ya ya ya, I know I know I know!"  I drill this into the minds of everyone I work with :)  You can see how versatile it is.  I love using this piece to dress down a dressed up outfit, add an element of surprise to a casual look, and give style to the everyday image!  The immediate question I get is, "Where do I find a good one?!"  Your denim jacket needs to be medium to dark wash, fit down a size, and have just the right detail.  It's hard to find... Until now!

I recently got introduced to Jockey Person 2 Person clothing and accessories.  This denim jacket was life changing, they have the best stuff!  And it fits comfortable too!!!  Lisa Brainer, a local rep, let me play dress up with her collection and I had a hey day.  Jockey P2P has this gem of a denim jacket, and the second I put it on I knew.  I knew it was going to be the denim jacket I recommend from now on!  It has all the right fit and details I want in a denim jacket.  Now you get to grab for 15% off!  Email Lisa TODAY for your order (while supplies last...).  Mention Fashion Fix for your discount now through the end of the month.  Don't miss out!

The scarf you do KNOT want to miss!

Okay, seriously!  After seeing these pictures, if you're not obsessing over Ginger Knots you're crazy!  I got introduced to Maggie, the lovely lady behind thess beautifully hand made scarfs, a few month backs.  Right away I knew she needed to be introduced to the Fashion Fix ladies.  Maggie knits a variety scarfs and hats that have the most perfect 'pinterest' style.  You know what I'm talking about.  When you are gushing over cute girls in cozy scarf on Pinterest and you're thinking, "Where do I get one of those?"  Well this is where, Ginger Knots.  The scarfs are plush, soft, stylish, and unique.  Best part is, they are handmade right here in the good 'ol state of MN.  Second best thing, all month long you get 15% off when you use code fashionfix15.  These are a great gift to give and receive.  And a what a better gift to give to a local artisan this holiday than to support her business.  It's a win win for everyone :)

Glitz & Glamor Holiday Style

I get so excited to about styling and putting together holiday looks!  It is the best time of the year to pull out some glitzy and glamorous pieces.  A little fur and sparkle always goes well with snow :)  Plus we are always looking for ways to be dressed up during the holidays, but not overdressed!  I've got 2 great things here for ya ladies.  First, the faux fur vest.  You've seen me wear it before, and I can't get enough of it.  This garment is functional and fashionable when it's 10 degrees outside (as it was when I did this photo shoot, lol.)

Second, you need a little blingy blingy this holiday.  Remember all those 'right hand diamond' commercials.   A little cheesy, but there a good point there.  I don't always want to wear a big piece of statement jewelry, but I still want my jewelry to make a statement!  So I got this perfectly subtle 'right hand ring' for such a style!  Anjolee jewelry has the best selection of sparkle because you can customize pieces to be exactly what you want to fit your style.  If rings aren't what your looking for I drool over their Riviera Necklace.

Can we have a moment for the box my ring came it.  I literately gasp when I opened it and the ring had its very own little spot light to help it shine and sparkle when I saw it for the first time.

Thrift week at Fashion Fix! Sparkly...

Is being on budget one of your resolutions?  Is being more in trend and styled right one of your resolution?  I have got news for you, you don't have to choose one or the other!  Finding good looks at goods prices can be done.  There are gaggles of bloggers, shoppers, and stylists that live and breathe by the thrift store.  The hard part for the everyday lady though is knowing which thrift stores are the good ones, which are the bad ones, which have quality goods, and which have things that smell like moth balls?!  In come #thriftweek at Fashion Fix!  I want to share with you my treasured find Second Debut Boutique, and all of it's goodies :)

They have an amazing shoe department that goes on for days that you can see {here}.  It's my favorite section of the store!  But there is more than just shoes.  Think about about what you wore last night.  Did you go out and by something new?  How much did you buy?  How much did you spend?  And, how many times do you think you'll wear what you bought for New Year's Eve again?  That last question got ya didn't it, and it really made you think twice about how much you spent didn't it?  The perfect solution to keep you out of the overspending and under buying club is thrift. 

One whole outfit at thrift prices is what some pay for just one piece at retail!  Girls night out, date night, cocktail party, bachelorette party, etc etc etc.  All the occasions you want to wear something new, something jazzy, but you know you won't wear it again; you gotta go thrift!

If you are don't know how to shop the thrift make sure you come to Second Debut this Saturday January 4th at 11am.  Fashion Fix is kicking off a 3 part workshop series exclusively at Second Debut.  Link up {here} for details.

Holiday Attire Tips

This week I have been chatting alot about holiday wear.  And by chatting I mean tweeting, facebooking, and blogging.  Lots of clients are heading out to parties for work, play, and fun.  And lots of clients are having a hard time deciding what to wear!  Living in this northern tundra adds some difficulty, trying to style your self for a fancy event when the wind chill is -20 degrees stinks!  Another challenge is creating a look that feels festive with out being, well... a joke.

So my job is to keep you from looking like that punch line!

1.
Do - Dress in trend; lace, velvet, brocade, etc..
Don't - Dress in all the trends at once; looking like you walked off the set of Game of Thrones.

2.
Do - Go head to toe with color; mix it up with different shades.
Don't - Dress like a crayola crayon; trying to match everything exact from apparel to shoes to accessories.

3.
Do - Wear separates; mixing and matching skirt, pants, tops, and jackets.
Don't - Look like a politician in a pant suit, channeling your inner Hilary.

4.
Do - Look festive; metallics, green, red, etc...
Don't - Look like you are part of the decorations!

All looks were styled on the Fashion Fix Polyvore board!

Holiday Attire Tricks

Holiday parties and get togethers don’t have to be a style stress.  With all of the shopping, cooking, planning, wrapping, hosting, decorating, etc…  Who needs another thing to worry about, not me?!  But you want to look glamorous and not gaudy when you are celebrating with friends and family.  So here are some quick tricks to keep it simple when getting dressed for any holiday celebration.

Shop you closet - you’d be surprised what seasonal pieces can look festive.

You can pair a dark pair of printed pants with a great metallic top.

A red sweater is great worn with a gold skirt or dress.

 Pair a cream or white dress or skirt with black opaque tights and platform heel.

Go for black - it’s easy to dress up with sparkly jewelry for party.

 Accessorize a LBD with a fantastic statement necklace.

 Pair a silk black tunic with a pair of skinny black pants and then layer with a long pearls and sparkly earrings.

 Take a black skirt and fun blouse, then finish it off with a metallic belt and a statement necklace.

Dresses - it’s one piece that needs no matching, just get great shoes!

                                                       Go for a traditional color but in an interesting style.

                            Think outside the box and wear a jewel tone.  It can be a festive yet classy look.

 Sparkle and shine are always in style for any holiday look.  Little accessorizing is need for a look like this!

Denim is okay - just go DARK DARK DARK.

Style a pair of straight jeans with a blouse and a structured blazer.  Add a heel and you are party ready.

A traditional trouser jean is classy and feminine.  Pair it with a jewel tone silk blouse and platform heels for a great evening outfit.

Skinny denim is best with a flowy tunic top that fits long.  This outfit can be worn with a classic pair of flats or loafers if you have a long party night ahead!

I want to know what your go to holiday look is, any suggestions for the readers?
