Happy first Friday of December!
For most of us, this weekend kicks off the ever-so-exciting holiday party season.
To celebrate the season, I’m teaming up with one of my all time favorite designers, Yoana Baraschi, to style three pretty party dresses and give away the one I’m styling today to one very lucky reader!
Giveaway details are at the bottom of the post, but until then, I’m talking all things holiday parties & dresses.
:
The holiday season is probably the one time of the year we
can all get away with wearing sequins, sparkles, beading & fringe all at
once. (Give me any excuse to get dressed up fancy schmancy, and I’ll take it!)

When it comes to dressing up extra fancy, I resort to the
one and only Yoana Baraschi. What I love
most about Yoana Baraschi’s party dresses (& everything she makes really)
is how unique all of her pieces are. For
one, have you ever seen a party dress quite like this one before?! I have not!
The intricate textiles & details in her feminine designs are all beautifully
crafted – whether they be embroidered, beaded, lace, or fringe. Yoana Baraschi’s
designs have that something extra (extra) special that you don’t see anywhere
else.

Which is just what you want for a holiday party right?
Because nobody wants to show up at their company’s annual holiday party and
spot someone else wearing the same dress!

When your party dress makes such a statement, minimal accessories
are key.

To play off the gold
beads in this dress, I paired it with gold metallic heels, a simple rose
gold bracelet & a black/ gold clutch.
