sequins & tulle.

sequin bustier: bebe, skirt and ring: f21, earrings: vintage

i am a self-proclaimed holiday junkie. i love christmas trees, holiday parties, and my personal favorite - family gatherings! it's always fun to dress up during the holidays and i'm constantly trying to think of fun ways to spruce up my beauty routine. i lucked out this year and the fabulous mizzie of stella shops offered to show me a fresh look for the holidays!

mizzie is an amazing makeup artist who splits her time in between nashville and london. her clients include mtv, cosmopolitan magazine, and twenty8twelve - to name a few! we created a video to help you with your makeup this season - all you have to do is follow these 10 steps and you'll be holiday-ready in no time!

stayfabulous,
