Party Time! Holiday Fashion 2006

It’s about that time. With Thanksgiving over the holiday parties will be many and near between until the end of the year. Red, the perenniel holiday color, is especially relevant this year – being the color of the season and all. You have to be careful though! Wearing red can be tricky. One false step and you end up looking cheap or sleezy. Here are a few fun ways to get your crimsom on and still be chic.

Rhinestone Halter. Available at Neiman Marcus, $370

Notte by Marchesa. Available at Neiman Marcus, $760

Laundry by Shelli Segal. Available at Neiman Marcus, $225

Carmen Marc Valvo. Available at Nordstrom, $500.

Betsey Johnson. Available at Neiman Marcus, $320.

BCBG Max Azria, Embroidered Tulle. Available at Nordstrom, $278.

Amsale Party Collection, Velvet. Available at Neiman Marcus, $595.

Bruno Frisoni

Stuart Weitzmann, Satin with Crystal-covered heels. Available at Nordstrom, $420.

Jose & Maria Berrera, Red Stone earrings. Available at Neiman Marcus, $275.

These are beautiful, but they can hit your bank account pretty hard if you’re the average Jane Schmo (like me). Knock-offs and discount brands will do fine too – just don’t expect them to last as long and be prepared to add the pizazz and personality with accessories.

Isaac Mizrahi for Target. On sale for $36.

Happy Holidays!
