The Savvy Stylist: Casual Holiday Outfit

Melissa writes:

I need help with an outfit for our family holiday parties. I have a 2 year old and 3 month old, so no stilettos, and I'm breastfeeding so I need easy access to the girls (like a low cowl neck, cardigan, low v-neck). Can you create something for me?

I think that this outfit is both comfy and chic enough for you. It costs $92.17

5 Under $50: Warm Winter Hats

It's time to accept it: it's cold outside! While a lot of women hate winter weather, I love it, because it gives me the opportunity to wear cute hats.

The Savvy Stylist: Romantic Airport Reunion

Celeste writes:

I haven't seen my boyfriend in 6 months because he's studying abroad. I´m going to study abroad too in January, so I'm going to meet him at the airport in France. I want to look cute and sexy, but comfy too, since it's a 12 hour flight. And it's going to be cold! Do you have any suggestions?

This look is cute but comfy and warm. It costs $93.29.

5 Under $50: Stylish Watches

Nowadays, nobody really needs to wear a watch. We can see what time it is on our cell phones. But a watch is still a timeless (no pun intended) accessory. They can be classic or trendy, and always make a look more polished.

Here are some of my favorites.

The Savvy Stylist: Classical Music Concert

Adriana writes:

I need an idea of what to wear to an Andrea Bocelli concert at an arena on December 13th in Anaheim, California. I don't think it will be too formal since it is at an arena and not at a place like, for example, Carnegie Hall, but I am at a complete loss on what to wear! Please help!

That's a toughie, but I think this look will work. I hope you like it - it comes in at only $92.54.

5 Under $50: Anthropologie Jewelry

Anthropologie's jewelry is just breathtaking - delicate and unique. Their pieces look like they're handcrafted and expensive, not as affordable as they are. Here are some of the stand-out pieces.

I am looking for an outfit to wear to a wedding the first weekend in December. The wedding is in Texas so it shouldn't be too cold, and it is in the morning at 11:00 am.

So I want to make sure that my look matches his as well. If you can help, I would appreciate it!

Beth writes:

My style is generally very eclectic. However, coming from a small town I do have a comfort zone. I frequent concerts, but I’m going to a special one with some great friends from all over.

The Savvy Stylist: Eloping in Vegas

Kim writes:

I've got a lot of exciting stuff coming up in my life - I'm getting married in the spring, and I'm quitting my job to go back to school in January. When I leave my job, I'm going to lose my health insurance, so my fiance and I are going to head to Vegas in a few weeks to elope, just so that I can use his benefits. I still consider our upcoming spring wedding to be our "real" wedding, but I'd still like to look nice in Vegas. Can you help me find a pretty, short, light-colored dress and accessories? I have these cute satin shoes I'd like to wear, but I need everything else, for cheap! My style icon is Zooey Deschanel, if it helps. Thanks so much for your help!

Those shoes are perfect for a casual wedding. Here is a look that costs just $96.29, not including the shoes.
