Girl Friday School Boy Blazer in black, reg $160 (50% off until Dec 31st!)
NEW! Lucca Couture polka dot blouse $68
ZAD wool bangle $15

The School Boy Blazer has appeared a lot on our blog. It's so versatile, it's hard not to pair it with denim, trousers, dresses and a skirt as shown. To me, this is the perfect office outfit. Completely professional, but the chiffon skirt has a freedom of movement that you wont find in a traditional pencil skirt, plus it's a lot more comfortable!

Michael Kors snakeskin dress $195 (50% off until Dec 31st)
Psalms pendant $56

Michael Kors' dresses are the kind that will be worn season after season. Once you put them on, you'll fall in love with the perfection of the cut, and the classic styles. I love the added zipper detail, still completely appropriate for work, but with more flair than your average dress.

Holiday Dresses

It's that time of year; the calendar is full of parties and get-togethers. It's hard not to be a social butterfly during the Holidays, and if you're running out of wardrobe ideas, look no further!

The Office Party:

You still want to have fun at the office party, but like anything tied to work, you need to have a modest amount of fun. This means keep the girls in and don't hike up that hem line too high. That being said, the office party is a great way to show your personal flair. Bright colours, fun fabrics and interesting silhouettes can make you stand-out for all the right reasons!

Nothing says Holiday's as well as Sequins do! (well, maybe an ugly christmas sweater, but we want to suggest it's the Holiday's, not scream it into a megaphone!) Fun, yet professional, you can pair this Sequined Lucca Couture top ($68) with Skinny Black Yoga Jeans ($110)

A great pattern, with a beautiful drape. Throw a red clutch with this outfit, and some red lips and your all set for some Christmas Glam! Gentle Fawn polka dot blouse ($71) and Black High Rise Skinny Yoga Jeans ($110)

The Fun Party

This is the one you've been looking forward too. A night out with your favourite people, celebrating the holidays! Dress to impress, as you never know who you might meet underneath that mistletoe!!

Red is the perfect winter colour. It's fun and vibrant, but still rich enough that it doesn't look out of place in December. I love the dip dye print of this dress, throw on a cropped cardigan or sweater and you're set! DEPT Red floral dress ($95)

This dress is a standout piece! You will for sure turn heads and break a few hearts in this one! Gentle Fawn Ambient dress ($105)

Back to School...

Perfectly tailored with classic lines, leather button details and available in beautiful tweed, plaid and herringbone fabrics. You can go traditional with trousers and a poorboy cap, like Tessa did, ready to hit the books. Or you can throw it over a dress for the office or jeans and a tee for drinks! It's a perfect transition piece from work to play!

All I want for Christmas... Kelsey's Wish-list

If just one of these beautiful pieces ends up under my Christmas Tree, I will be the happiest girl in the world! My top 5 picks; friends and family take note!

1. Left on Houston Aztec Poncho $190. This is a standout piece, perfect for the more fashion adventurous girl. It is hard not to fall in love with the super soft knit, gorgeous geometric pattern, and great fringe detail!

2. Left on Houston chunky knit w/leather buckle $210. This wool/alpaca blend is mercanized, which means super soft wool (no itch!) and the textured knit is perfect with some leggings and boots!

3. Hobo Lauren clutch in silver $135. Every girl needs a Hobo wallet in her life. Designed by women, these wallets not only look spectacular, but are incredibly functional inside with a place to hold everything!

4. Biko ship compass necklace. Biko is one of my absolute fave designers, so really I would be happy with anything by them! But the nautical theme is pretty sweet!

5. Lucca Couture sequin top $68. I LOVE SEQUINS!! And I love the holidays, becuase you can wear all the sequins you want, without looking like a Liza Minelli impersonator. (secretly, I do love me some Liza!)

Put your heart into it!

We just got another shipment from New York Jewelry designer Erica Weiner. We are in LOVE with her heartbeats necklaces. Each heart is handstamped with song lyrics. (Our personal favourite is "after the party the hotel lobby")! In store just in time for the Holidays, these will make perfect gifts, but I warn you, once it is in your hands, you wont want to give it away!

All I want for Christmas... Tessa's Picks!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas... Well, maybe not. But it is coming! Tessa has made her Holiday wish-list and we think you'll agree that these would be welcome additions under any Christmas tree!

1. Kensie grey knit chiffon back sweater $78
I love the chunky knit, and the chiffon back detail makes adds a dash of flirtiness to the otherwise tame winter sweater.

2. Numph "Jasmin" shirt $75
Numph is one of my favourite brands, always trendy and always unique. I love this blouse for a night out with my girls!

3. Michael Kors zipper skirt $125
Opening a box with a Michael Kors skirt inside is a sure way to put a smile on my face!

4. Numph "Joy" blouse $120
Another beautiful blouse from Numph! I love the speckled pattern, it would pair perfect with my bamboo leggings and tall riding boots.

5. DEPT winter cardigan $159
A cute take on a classic sweater. This would be perfect for curling up by the fire after a big Christmas dinner.

All I want for Christmas.... Rachel's Wishlist

Believe it or not, but the Holiday's are just around the corner! Time to start gift shopping! Each of the Girl Friday girls has chosen our ultimate Christmas Wish-list. Rachel hopes to find these under her tree:

1. Left on Houston "Vector" rose sweater $132
The modal and cashmere blend truly feels like Holiday magic! The soft, versatile piece would be an amazing addition to my closet!

2. HEN Mini crosses necklace $48
I absolutely love this necklace, plus it might win me some bonus points with the fam!

3. Michael Kors Dark Camel sweater $175
This sweater is incredibly cozy, and the soft neutral will work with almost all of my wardrobe!

4. Kangol grey wool Fedora $62
I love accessories as gifts. You don't have to worry about buying the right size, plus a great hat is something that I never seem to buy for myself. I would love to wear this Christmas morning and stylishly protect myself from the snowflakes!

5. Kensie Black lace top $88
I love the lace trend. Perfect for Holiday parties with skinny jeans and a bright red lipstick. I probably won't be able to wait for Christmas to get this gorgeous top!
