The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start making your lists for the friends, family and others who you’ll be gifting this year. If you have someone on your list who can’t get enough of the latest trends in fashion, any one of these fashion forward stocking stuffers will make the perfect holiday present.
1. A printed or brightly colored scarf.
During the winter season, many people bundle up in outerwear that comes in a fairly neutral color palette. Give a brightly colored or patterned scarf to add a pop of color to anyone’s wardrobe. Scarves are functional for their warmth, but can also be worn as a fun accessory to any outfit.
2. Jewelry.
It’s simple. What fashion forward woman wouldn’t want to find a pair of designer earrings or a new necklace in her stocking? Whether her style is hip, sophisticated, funky or all of the above look for something that will complement her style and personality. When you put some real thought into your choice, your friend will not only thank you, she’ll think of you every time she wears her gift.
3. A good pair of slippers.
A nice pair of slippers always comes in handy when you’re hanging out at home during those snowy winter days. Any person on your list would love to be on the receiving end of a warm and toasty pair of slippers. You can choose a design that’s holiday-themed to keep in the spirit, or find a style that will work year-round.
4. A classic pair of gloves.
If the first thing that comes to mind when you think of gloves is boring and functional, then think again. A beautiful pair of gloves is the perfect gift to stuff in anyone’s stocking this holiday season. Not only are they a welcome gift, but they can add a level of fashionable sophistication to any outfit. If you stick with a rich material such as soft, pliable leather, your recipient will be thanking you all winter long.
5. Boot-length socks.
If you have a friend who keeps on-trend with the latest in shoes, then you’ll know that riding boots worn over leggings or skinny jeans are one of the hottest trends in winter wear. Give your friend a little something interesting with a selection of boot-length socks in her stocking. A bright color or funky pattern adds another layer to the look of riding boots.
6. A beautiful watch is timeless.
So many people have come to rely on their smartphones or mobile devices to tell the time. But a beautiful watch is always a classic. This is a great gift because it may well be something that your friend or family member doesn’t already have. For a traditional look, choose something more neutral in a metallic tone such as silver or gold. If your recipient is a bit more adventurous, give her a watch that has a variety of interchangeable bands to complement any outfit.
Sticking with a stocking stuffer theme for your holiday gift giving will be a sure way to have your list done in no time. And those people on your list who have a flair for fashion will be happy to receive any of these spectacular choices that are big gifts that come in little packages.

Holiday party season is nearly upon us. With classic holiday options and new trends to try, it has never been easier to join the festivities in style. To snatch the best deals on the trendiest looks for winter, shop Black Friday. According to the National Retail Federation, a record 247 million shoppers visited popular stores like JC Penney on Thanksgiving weekend to take advantage of sales on clothing, accessories and other goodies. Keep a look out for holiday attire to ring in the New Year.
Fringe continues to be a go-to look after making multiple appearances on the spring 2013 runways. This edgy, boho embellishment has been added to everything from dresses and handbags, to jackets and necklaces. Go daytime casual with a fringe top paired with your most comfortable jeans, and accessorized with an adorned bangle bracelet.
Low Heel

Low heels are both comfortable and practical, the perfect everyday footwear solution. Choose a stylish low heel measuring one to two inches. Opt for a sexy sling-back, sleek kitten heels in a brocade finish, or a classic nude pump. Wearing a low heel is also healthier for the body. According to the American Osteopathic Association, extended wearing of high heels can cause the toes to bend in unnatural positions and can even lead to irreversible damage to leg tendons. The AOA recommends flats or shoes with a heel of less than an inch-and-a-half.

Don’t overlook this winter staple just yet. The turtleneck look remains practical and warm for chilly weather. To pull off this look, opt for a fine-knit turtleneck and wear it under a jacket. Avoid chunky knits if you’re curvy to ward off unwanted bulk. Wear the turtleneck with a necklace worn over the roll.

While the new “it” bags may be barely big enough to carry your iPhone, that didn’t stop mini bags from becoming the next big thing. These small and stylish accessories are fun to carry for work, holiday parties, or just around town to carry your essentials. Cross-body bags, clutches and shrunken versions of popular full-size handbags force women to only carry what they really need.

Patent leather is not just for shoes. Glossy patent leather raincoats and knee-length belted jackets are both stylish and figure-flattering. If you decide to go with a patent jacket, opt for a more conservative outfit. Classic-fit jeans look good on almost everyone and work well with classic patent leather jackets. If leather is not your thing, anything with faux fur trim, metallic print or rich jewel tones will also be in-style this winter.

Tartan, plaid, checkered or whatever you like to call it is back in a big way. This pattern has been seen on a wide range of attire, from cozy jumpers to tailored skirts. Achieve the all-too-cool grunge look with a checkered or plaid shirt layered or tied around the waist. Keep warm with a blanket-like knitted wool or oversized coat in tartan. Even
have been spotted on runways. Don’t be afraid to experiment with print mixing, such as tartan mixed with leopard print. Enjoy the holidays in festive ensembles that reflect your personal style.
