Christina-StyleWatch-263

I am SO hyped to announce that you will see yours truly in the December/Holiday issue of People StyleWatch Magazine! I will be featured in a special advertising section all about Holiday trends. Because I love you guys, here’s a sneak peek at the People StyleWatch Holiday “Gotta Get It” Gift Guide spread including information about where you can get all the items I wore in my shoot! See below:

Look 1: Black on Black

Pun intended. It’s so important for me to support black-owned brands so I am SO excited that this DEMESTIKS New York look made the first page of the Gotta Get It Gift Guide! Reuben Reuel, the designer behind the brand, has been so incredibly supportive of my various appearances this year and so when I told him I needed something spectacular for this shoot he created this Michelle O Dress ($198.00) for me! Curvy girls, he’s definitely a designer to add to your favorites as he makes dresses for women of all shapes and sizes.

I wore platform heels from ALDO Shoes and one of my favorite brocade clutches from Fashion to Figure.

Look 2: Lady in Red

There’s nothing that screams “holiday” like a red cocktail dress. What I LOVE about this Fashion To Figure dress is that it flares out below the waist, which is my most flattering silhouette. I also don’t typically do off-the-shoulder looks so it was nice to spring for something different with this shoot.

My chandelier earrings and necklace are from Claire’s. Nobody beats Claire’s for fun and festive costume jewelry during the holiday season. Most of their earring sets are $10 or under.

Look 3: Houndstooth

I’m big on prints and a sucker for black and white combinations. So houndstooth and I go together like PB & J. When I saw this coat hanging up at H&M, I had to have it! It’s the perfect compliment to any holiday cocktail look.

I paired it with a plain leather skirt and top so the jacket could really take center stage. Accessories included my favorite CC Skye Clear Lucite Clutch ($350) and these gold studded heels from Steve Madden.

Look 4: Jewels and Gems

Jewelry and accessories are undoubtedly my favorite fashion items to play in. You don’t have to worry about if they’ll fit and they instantly add a touch of glamour to your overall look. I paired this Forever 21 cape and Fashion to Figure colored denim look with bold gemstone necklace with braided detailing.

My favorite Zara boots were the perfect compliment. And I topped it off with a navy Rebecca Minkoff  Leo Clutch ($95).
