Happy, happy, happy holidays!! Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza or the Festival of Lights…or, uh, Zeus and Poseidon (Raines is going through a Greek Mythology phase)….we welcome you. Tis the season for celebration, for light, for love.
We’re hoping that we can help, in some small way, to make your holiday season the brightest one yet. So we’ve been working on a set of style guides to help take some of the stress out of holiday dressing. We’re focusing on the pieces you already own, adding in just one or two key pieces to make your existing closet more festive. So c’mon, you blue-jean diehards, you office dwellers, you sweatpant-everyday-mamas….
…let’s have some fun.

Past Style Guides (Updated for 2015)
The photography from 2012 is cringe-worthy, and looking back at 2013 is tough – it was my breast cancer year and I’m wearing a bunch of different wigs – but the ideas, you guys. I still stand by the ideas. Many of these general ideas have matured over time (and you’ll be seeing some come back in this year’s holiday style guides), but for a fun point of reference (and a trip down memory lane)….here are our past Holiday Style Guides.
Additionally, our favorites from 2014 have been completely updated – new links, new shoppable boutiques, and in some cases, a few new pics. Enjoy!

I need deets on the outfits in your photos. I LOVE those outfits Scotti and Shana! Thank you for all of these round-ups. Looking forward to reading more in the coming days. xoxo
Speaking of photos from 2012…or, rather, how much you’ve learned about modelling and shooting since then…I’d love to see a post about HOW to take good outfit photos. I love, love, love to mix and match in my closet, trying out new combos and integrating new accessories and such, and I’ve always wanted to document the successes: those outfits that make me feel frisky and fabulous. Trouble is, when I go stand outside in the driveway and ask my long-suffering husband to snap a few photos, the results are so discouraging that I go away for a private cry and then give up on my wardrobe for a week or so. Please, please, Shana and Mike, HOW DO YOU DO IT?
