The holidays are quickly approaching…family dinners, office parties, evenings out; there are so many things coming up! Is your wardrobe ready? My favorite tried-and-true look for the holidays (or for any occasion) has to be the quintessential “little black dress.” Universally flattering, every woman should own at least one LBD.

I love this fall! This season is notorious for drab colors and nubby materials, but celebs aren’t breaking out their rust colored sweaters just yet. In fact, even the little black dress is getting a color makeover by way of accessories.

Naomi Watts really went out on a limb and looked super cute on ther red carpet. Her classic black dress is given an edgy burst of color in such an unexpected way. Most gals would save an interesting purse like this for jeans and a tee, but not Naiomi. Her bright shoes and earrings pull the look together for a quirky but polished look.
