Holding true to the notion that ‘black is always in style’, especially throughout the winter, Christmas or NOT, a touch of red and a little bit of lace makes any ensemble more luxurious and warm! Mix and match classic versatile items from the Manolo Blahnik supple suede d’orsay pumps to the quintessential lace DVF Zarita dress or a add a softer touch with a silk dress cinched at the waist.

Open toe lace up Gianvito Rossi booties work perfectly for a more downtown feel.  Ultimately, my intention here is to gather splurge-worthy, wish list items not confined to special holiday occasions but which very well will work if you choose! ‘A touch of red’, when black is often the go to color of choice for more reasons than one (Guilty here!), adds a sense of life and subtle elegance.

NOTE: Manolo Blahnik D’Orsay heels, Gianvito Rossi booties, DVF Wrap dress and Victoria Beckham silk dress are 30, 40 and 50% off.

Of course, some #FedoraLove with a Borsalino felt fedora is the ultimate winter accessory!
