HOLOAr' STYLE TIPS
All that glitters in fashion this holiday
season is GOLD. After a decade of plat
inum and silver popularity, luminescent
hues of golden leather, sequins, lame’,
mesh, brocade, knits, lace and liquidy
satins are making a huge fashion come
back, and they’re just in time to brighten
things up for the holidays!
These are a few of our favorite things:
Apparel
Add elegance and sparkle to your hol
iday look by mixing bold pieces with neu
trals like black and white or with dark den
ims for maximum impact. For you not so
glitzy gals, get into the gold rush by trying
small “wow pieces” such as a shell, a
small evening bag, a scarf or a fabulous
“standout” pair of shoes.
Makeup
The latest eye-catching looks for the
holidays are golden shadows that change color from one second to the
next. The iridescent reflective colors work well by day and pair off nicely
with dark eyeliner tor nighttime glamour.
Home Decorating
Anything “golden” suits our love for luxury. Perfect for the holidays,
it shines, sparkles and brightens, and best of all, it complements nearly any
color scheme imaginable. Make a fashion statement at home with every
thing from beautiful placemats, curtains, candles and floral arrangements to
bed skirts and bathroom fixtures. The choices are endless.

Happy Holidays!

At this holiest time of year, we'd like to

May you discover renewed hope,
encouragement and fulfillment during
this Christmas season.
