Celebrate Holidays With No Nonsense Tights And Leggings

The tree is lit, wreaths are decorated and we are so ready for Mr Claus to get us what we wish for. The season is cold and chilly and usually winter season limits us in our style. As much as I like long coats and tall boots, I want to wear my skirts, dresses and occasional shorts during the winter time to break the jeans and more jeans cycle. A great pair of leggings and tights are a winter style essential for this very reason. Luckily, No Nonsense has amazing tights and leggings to make you ready for the holidays and winters in style. I received the No Nonsense leggings and tights to try them out and let me tell you, you will love the amazing patterns, comfortable fit and the pop of colors No Nonsense tights and leggings give. Here are two of my winter looks using No Nonsense tights and leggings.

No Nonsense have a great selection of colorful leggings that can change the look of an outfi in an instant! For the holidays, these leggings will come in handy for re-styling a dress or a skirt many times over. TV personality and stylist Jill Martin tells you how-

Which dress  to splurge on for the New Year's party? How to make the 'someone' do a double take on you at the office holiday party? Well, these celebrities tell us how -

When black and white seem boring (yes, it can happen to some!), go with an unusually bright hue - winter weather color police be damned! Here are some of my favorite bold dresses for the colorful holidays! Totally loving the extravagant look and feel of Marena Y Sol's luxurious kaftans and tunics.

Can never go wrong with the classic! Sheath, paper-bag waist fitted skirtsuit- there is a reason little black dress survived the test of time. Here are some pieces you will cherish for years to come. I specially love Tibi holiday collection in black and white this year.

Thanksgiving Weekend Outfit: Wrap Cardigan, Chinese Collar Necklace, Peep Toe Booties

 I had a perfect, relaxing, I-have-so-much-to-be-thankful-for, happy weekend, and hope you all did too. The culinary indulgence during Thanksgiving is all but natural! Therefore (fashion-wise) after a finger licking yummy Thanksgiving dinner you need an outfit that can enable you to relax for the pictures without sucking your tummy in! This irregular wrap cardigan from VJStyle.com is perfect for an evening stroll after a full thanksgiving meal! The setting sun, the chilly nip in the air and a reflective thanksgiving weekend is the setting for today's outfit post.

The Old Navy Rockstar Jeans has a perfect fit, available in 0-18 sizes in 18 colors. I got mine when I participated in Old Navy Fashion show in NYC. 

One of my current favorite necklace from Crazy&Co. The subtle austerity of this simple piece is perfect for a winter outfit. You need to check out this beautiful boutique for they have really amazing jewelry and accessories!

My first pair of open toe high heel ankle boots from MyHotshoes.com. The animal print bow gives the edgy feel to simple black faux suede booties. And as always, price is so right!!

The fringe bag that has always brought me compliments is also from VJStyle.com. Can't get enough of this roomy and chic handbag.

Feels great to be back after a blogging hiatus. Some of you had emailed me asking why I didn't blog regularly during past few weeks, some sent messages on facebook and twitter and I realized it does a girl a lot of good when she gets messages reminding her that there are people who care! Thank you!
