Melissa's Must Haves: Holiday Edition

This season has been full of cozy knits, flattering designs, and new fabrics that just make you feel as good as you look! Our design team especially worked hard to give you multiple options for getting ready this holiday season. Whether you're dashing out for last minute shopping runs, kids' school parties, or prepping for special gatherings and church services, here are some of my personal favorites to give you style inspo this holiday! 

Happy styling! 
XOXO, Melissa 





Melissa's Must Haves Holiday Edition Work Party Girls Night
Layered Lace Mock Neck Top | Coated Skinny Denim | Leather Like Cafe Racer Jacket

Love this look for special occasions! The Layered Lace Mock Neck Top is such an elegant top to style this season. The soft lace has plenty of stretch to flatter your shape, and the detachable nude cami underneath adds the right amount of coverage (you can also remove it, depending on your preference!). I love it paired with our new Coated Skinny Denim for a date night, girls night out, or holiday work party look. These pants do double duty, giving you a slimming look that’s extra stretchy to keep you comfy. Add the Leather Like Cafe Racer Jacket and you’ve got a seriously head-turning look!




Melissa's Must Haves Holiday Edition Celebrating with friends style inspo

Holiday Dot Sweater | Waist Tie Dark Wash Flares 
Skip Stitch Cabled Button Sweater | Lace Trim Cami | Wide Leg Waist Shaper Denim | Rectangle Star Necklace


This time of year can be packed full of school parties, end of year programs, recitals, neighborhood get-togethers, meeting friends for coffee, and more.  These looks are seriously easy to throw on and go, and help you feel all pulled together and looking festive as you dash out the door!

I love the Holiday Dot Sweater for an easy neutral look that’s versatile enough to dress up or down. Plus, it’s SO soft and fuzzy, it has major out of this world “hug value”! The rose gold threaded polka dots just add a fun touch of shimmer to keep it festive for the holidays. Darker denim like these Waist Tie Dark-Wash Flares makes this combo ultra flattering and perfect for celebrating.

You know I love creating unique knit patterns for you, like we did for this Skip Stitch Sweater! The skip stitch really gives this one a pop of fun texture, and the soft cotton blend makes it easy to dress up or down while keeping its shape. The rich red and purple tones of this sweater make it so versatile for the holidays (and if colors aren’t your thing, we also made it in a neutral heathered grey!). You can definitely wear this buttoned all the way up with a front tuck as a traditional sweater, but for a dressier change up, I like to layer it over a Lace Trim Cami for a sweet, easy look. Balanced out with our super flattering Wide Leg Waist Shaper Denim and you’ve got an on-trend look that’s as gorgeous as it is comfortable.






Lux Knit Half Zip Pullover in Olive | Perfect Fit Seamless Ribbed Leggings
Stretch Chambray Button Top in Light Wash | Notched Neck Washed & Worn Graphic Tee | Lux Knit Joggers in Olive 
Lux Knit Half Zip Pullover & Joggers set in Navy 

I've said it before, I had been DYING to share this new Lux fabric with you guys when we were designing this set! This might be our most luxurious, wearable fabric we’ve ever made! One of my new favorites I think everyone should own, this Lux Knit Pullover and Jogger set is perfect for travel, lounging at home, or dashing out for last min grocery or gift runs. It's so incredibly buttery soft, with a cool hand feel and a nice, dense weight that just feels elevated and classy. 
You can hands down wear this every single day either as a set or as separates to change up your look! Trust me, you'll be reaching for these again and again!






Ribbed Sweater Dress | Faux Leather Leggings 

Here me out - your closet needs this one! This is that versatile wardrobe staple that you can style so many different ways, especially for the holidays. We used an amazing, stretchy, non-itchy, soft ribbed knit that really flatters your shape without being constricting like a bodycon dress. I paired this with our Faux Leather Leggings for extra coverage, but you can totally wear this bare legged, with tights, or even colored leggings for a little pop! This dress looks fab on its own, or layered underneath shackets, vests, and coats. I love this one for Christmas Eve or holiday church services!







Bobble Stitch Sweater | Waist Tie Dark-Wash Flares

I love this pretty sweater for anything holiday related - out with the girls, work place parties, church services. It’s so easy to throw on and go, so this would be perfect for Christmas day gatherings! The gorgeous color plus all the bobble stitch detail on the sleeves really give this sweater a pop. We kept it classy on this one with a true to size fit, and the soft knit and mock neckline just make it really timeless for dressing beyond this holiday (think date nights, Valentine’s, and other celebrations!). I paired it here with one of my other favorites, the Waist Tie Flares, for a clean, polished look, but you could even style this with black dress pants, skirts, or Designer Denim!







Slounge Ribbed Hoodie & Pants set | Cloud Leopard Slippers 

After parties and programs and all the holiday festivities are done for the day, you can bet I'm reaching for these! Our first ever Slounge Set, this ribbed hoodie and coordinating pants seriously are so comfy we had to invent a new word to describe them! A combo of sleepwear and loungewear - Slounge! - these give you that cozy, stay-by-the-fire-all-day feeling with plenty of comfy stretch. Perfect for slow mornings, curling up with a good book and a hot cocoa, decorating Christmas cookies, or as you stay up late wrapping the last of the presents! And with the wider size range, these are a great option for gifting as well!
