It hasn't started to feel like "the holidays" for me yet, even though Hanukkah has come and gone and Christmas and New Years are just around the corner. I don't know if it's because I'm now working in the retail world which never, ever stops and rather than a holiday "slow down" there's a huge ramp up, or if it's been the unseasonably warm temps on both coasts (it's over 50-degrees in NY today!), but regardless: I'm still reveling in dressing like it's the holidays, because that's a thing that brings me an absurd amount of joy.One of the places I love to get deals on great holiday pieces and sparkle is Lord & Taylor. Lord & Taylor holds a special place in my heart because they were the first US department store to carry clothes I designed, from my collaboration with Addition Elle! They're also, in my opinion, one of the best kept secrets of physical department stores where you can buy plus-size pieces in NYC. When I found the (brand new, current season!) red jacket I've been lusting after at a fraction of the retail price - I was SO excited. Red isn't my usual go-to color, but it's one I've been enamored with lately. Don't be caught off guard if you see me in an all-red monochrome look, soon, too. I thought it would perfectly complement these rainbow striped pieces by Rachel Rachel Roy -- a skirt and sweater co-ord set that can be worn together or separately, with a wallet-happy price tag right now; it's less than 50% of the original price. The Rachel Zoe platform heels are also marked down nearly 70%. You're going to have to take my word for it that these pieces are even more gorgeous in person... There's a subtle glitter stripe mixed in that really comes to life IRL.It might still not feel like the holidays, but at least I know I can dress like it is.
