No pink or purple can give you a boost the way my dear (and longest companion) Black can. Simple, elegant, classic and of course slimming are just a few of black’s best qualities….and like any best friend; she is there for you through it all.

DANCE the NIGHT AWAY The drinks may be ice cold but after a few, you will not be (let’s not forget the dancing you be doing as well). This beautiful ruffled mini from French Connection will keep you breathing but will still have you looking hot (Product #- 71Y8RBLK14).

DAY IN THE OFFICE Just because you are chained to your desk for eight, tiresome hours doesn’t mean that you should look like you are. Put on this Esprit cotton polo dress and you will shine behind any bright computer screen. (Product #-E23102)

The holidays are here, so why not grab some irresistible finds for any December occasion—whether it's the family get-together, party with friends or close cuddles with your loved ones. 

I just had to snap up Desperately Different's Babe Lace Top because it's just so versatile this season. I've noticed all the celebs with print tops or sexy tunics this year—very à la 60s. It's so easy to wear from office to party, and I love it with my skinny jeans or cropped pants. With a pair of cute black pumps—I spell delicious. 

There's nothing like staying cozy in the snowy weather with a yummy sweater. The Virgo top is so stand-out with its balloon style bottom cut and techie style shoulder side button. I adore it with my dark mini or pair of deep indigo denim, and it's so easy to wear out or during my 9 to 5.

Sometimes I feel my outfit needs a little pick me-up, so I look to fashionistas like Beyoncé and Rihanna who know exactly how to manage their wardrobe with funky, clunky jewelry. I adore French Connection's Metal Mix Necklace, which looks snap with the Shield Bracelet. Gold jewelry is a must-have accessory this winter because it'll rock with black, reds or white tops.

My main goal this holiday season is to stay off the naughty list. Yes, it seems easy to get into mischief this time of year (shortbread cookie highs plus eggnog overload make me crazy) but when it comes down to it I would much rather receive a favourite gift then a large lump of black coal. Unlike my friend’s IPOD touch Christmas wish, I almost always seem to opt for wearable goodies….and ones that I can wear frequently! Browsing through Shop N Chill™, I have mentally made a top three list of gifts I hope to find under the tree.

1. Desperately Different (ShopNChill™ Item #-Andrea Dress) has hit it right on yet again with this perfect charcoal number. I especially love how the top is neatly fitted while the bottom half allows you to sneak a few extra left over Christmas cookies before a holiday get together. Perfect.

2. Juma’s Beige colored jumpsuit (ShopNChill™ Item #-JD5S08. Layer it. Leave it. Buy it…before I buy them all.

 3. If you are crushing on cardigans this season like I have been, then you will surely develop a heart thumping love for this Mexx ruffled one ( ShopNChill™ Item #-Xw518)

Santa I hope you are reading this and checking it twice!
