			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SSENSE may be a Canadian company, but what originated as their Black Friday sale has continued into an even deeper disount haven.  I&#8217;ve been creeping on Pamela Love&#8217;s FW11 collection since it appeared, and to my delight have noticed that her current season pieces have been slashed 50% off retail prices.  These are some of the best items available from the FW11 collection, so if you&#8217;re like myself, you&#8217;re going to be getting your fingers clicking over SSENSE&#8217;s way ASAP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gloves are not a negotiable acessory for most smart winter dressers. Myself, I&#8217;ve been too vain to forgo my chunky rings to actually protect my hands this season [so far], so fingers crossed I don&#8217;t end up with<a href="http://m.gmgrd.co.uk/sbres/273.$plit/C_67_article_2037972_body_articleblock_0_bodyimage.jpg?23%2F10%2F2008%2012%3A37%3A21%3A512" target="_blank"> Madonna Claws</a> by 2012.</p>
<p>These are four of my favorites, including the best priced item which picks up the look. For that, look at the <a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_58606+3043049877_-1?" target="_blank">Warehouse piece</a>.  For other pieces in more of an investment category,<a title="Marni" href="http://www.marni.com/item/store/MARNI/tskay/3FD17CD7/rr/1/cod10/46206642EC/areaid//sts/" target="_blank"> Marni&#8217;s short style</a> is one sale, while <a title="Barneys" href="http://www.barneys.com/Long-Mixed-Gloves/501582762,default,pd.html?q=long%20glove" target="_blank">Barneys long mixed</a> and<a title="Barneys" href="http://www.barneys.com/Long-Cable-Knit-Gloves/00505014732188,default,pd.html" target="_blank"> long cable knit gloves</a> are both fairly reasonably priced</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As much as I&#8217;ve resisted the anything-but-droll movement of holiday style postings, it&#8217;s been a fruitless attempt &#8211; I&#8217;ve been pretending one can still be a baker without actually baking.  Regardless, I&#8217;ve stumbled upon a collection of six black dresses featuring some rather delightful embellishments.  These are largely more expensive pieces, as sequin and beading usually goes terribly wrong when cheaping out occurs on respective manufacturing and purchasing ends.</p>
<p>These are grand pieces, very elegant in their different ways.  I was pleasantly surprised at the golden bustier design of the <a title="My Theresa" href="http://www.mytheresa.com/us_en/chaplin-sequined-midi-dress.html">Lucy in Disguise <em>Chaplin</em> dress</a>, which is British singer Lily Allen&#8217;s [surprisingly lovely] pet project.  <a title="Topshop" href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33057&amp;storeId=12556&amp;productId=4257082&amp;langId=-1&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=208523&amp;parent_categoryId=203984&amp;pageSize=200" target="_blank">Rare Opulence&#8217;s high collared A-line</a> plays by a similar shape, which is very forgiving for those with small busts [and/or] thighs that need hiding.</p>
<p>For art fans,<a title="Shopbop" href="http://www.shopbop.com/marchesa/br/v=1/2534374302190200.htm" target="_blank"> Marchesa&#8217;s</a><a title="The Outnet" href="www.theoutnet.com/product/254141" target="_blank"> <em>Dupioni</em> dress</a> will likely strike a particular chord; these lines almost look like cosmic streets in a dark sky.  Alternatively, <a title="House of Fraser" href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Biba+Flame+sequin+mini+dress/155966309,default,pd.html?" target="_blank">Biba&#8217;s flame sequin</a> gives us a very grounded, earthly feel.  For the last pieces, we&#8217;ve saved the most opulent for last &#8211; <a title="My Theresa" href="http://www.mytheresa.com/us_en/silk-mini-dress-with-transparent-cape.html" target="_blank">McQueen&#8217;s silk mini<em> with transparent cape</em></a> and the obligatory<a title="Balmain" href="http://www.balmain.com/en/shop/d-robe-noire-et-or-rebrodee-de-sequins-balmain/" target="_blank"> Balmain mention</a>.  After all, it&#8217;s great to have something, some vision of impossibly expensive dress to work for, right?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19995" title="GOLD AND black dress holiday dressing fashion blog demicouture alexander mcqueen tibi lucy in disguise marchesa BALMAIN rare opulence" src="http://demicouture.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/GOLD-AND-black-dress-holiday-dressing-fashion-blog-demicouture-alexander-mcqueen-tibi-lucy-in-disguise-marchesa-BALMAIN-rare-opulence-.jpg" alt="" width="528" height="701" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Instead of taking up the typical party dress course this holiday season, grab a bustier and a maxi skirt.  This will result in a very mix and match friendly look, which maximizes the amount of wear you can get out of each piece.  For those wanting to go ultra glam, acquire a larger bib or chunky necklace, akin to<a title="Shopbop" href="http://www.shopbop.com/kenneth-jay-lane/br/v=1/2534374302029447.htm" target="_blank"> Kenneth Jay Lane&#8217;s</a><a title="Max &amp; Chloe" href="http://www.maxandchloe.com/fulldetails/15943/32,34?PID=2687457" target="_blank"> <em>Rocky Road</em> </a>or Shourouk&#8217;s incredibly intense<a title="Cult Status" href="http://www.cultstatus.com.au/product_view.php?id=2125" target="_blank"> <em>Cleo</em> necklace</a>. <em>Remember, don&#8217;t go super cheap.. it&#8217;s not cute wearing a huge chunk of plastic from Forever 21 on your neck.</em></p>
<p>Find an elegant bustier as<a title="Net-A-Porter" href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/176369" target="_blank"> Bottega Veneta&#8217;s structured piece</a>, or a more interpreted style as <a title="General Pants" href="http://www.generalpants.com.au/store/womens/tops/connie-ruffled-busti-1000036508.html" target="_blank">General Pants&#8217; skirted <em>Connie</em></a>.  Here is where you can really get creative; match the bustier with either a more night-time velvet [<a title="Topshop" href="http://us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33057&amp;storeId=12556&amp;productId=3750395&amp;langId=-1&amp;categoryId=&amp;searchTerm=maxi%20skirt&amp;pageSize=20" target="_blank">as Topshop's</a>], or choose a more dressed down jersey style as <a title="Net-A-Porter" href="www.net-a-porter.com/am/product/164840" target="_blank">Rick Owen&#8217;s Lilies</a>, which can be easily suited for daytime looks.</p>
<p>Footwear isn&#8217;t difficult; acquire a clean, uncomplicated pump or boot, like <a title="Gravity Pope" href="http://www.gravitypope.com/shoes/product/17754-jil-sander-navy-jn17040-blk-" target="_blank">Jil Sander&#8217;s navy booties</a> or <a title="Gravity Pope" href="http://www.gravitypope.com/shoes/product/16543-acne-vega-f1-choc-" target="_blank">Acne&#8217;s <em>Vega</em> pump</a>.  If the Acne pumps are a bit out of price range, try <a title="Steve Madden" href="http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=56210&amp;np=127_282-136_394" target="_blank">Steve Madden&#8217;s <em>Sarrina</em></a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The time of the sequin dress and glitter trouser has passed, and it seems that the most viable option for instantly holiday-ifying and of your regular looks can be with a sequin jacket.  We&#8217;re seeing tuxedo cuts, crops and collarless pieces are all surfacing; your best bet it to avoid the standard (and very dull) long cut blazer style.</p>
<p>My official favorite piece happens to be a <a title="Mango" href="http://shop.mango.com/ficha.faces?state=she_006_IN" target="_blank">strong shoulder option by Mango</a> (for its price and overall look), though<a title="Shopbop" href="http://www.shopbop.com/31-phillip-lim/br/v=1/2534374302181020.htm" target="_blank"> 3.1 Phillip Lim&#8217;s</a><a title="Flannels" href="http://www.flannelsfashion.com/clearance-sale/women/jackets/jackets-details/i/2953-80ass/n/sequin-drape-tuxedo-jacket.aspx" target="_blank"> multicolored sequin draped tuxedo</a> is my true love &#8211; we all know by now I prefer the outrageous.  Another multicolor sparkle flavor is <a title="Les Pommettes" href="http://www.lespommettes.com/product_info.php?products_id=4365&amp;name=Megan%20Park%20Sequin%20Jacket" target="_blank">Megan Park&#8217;s collarless piece</a>, which is excellent for those looking for a bit of a throwback.</p>
<p>For more standard fare, select <a title="Net-A-Porter" href="www.net-a-porter.com/product/175328" target="_blank">Aubin &amp; Wills&#8217; </a><em><a title="Net-A-Porter" href="www.net-a-porter.com/product/175328" target="_blank">Sliverthorne</a>,</em> and you would be hard pressed to create yourself a poor look! Last is <a title="Mango" href="http://shop.mango.com/ficha.faces?state=she_006_IN" target="_blank">Mango&#8217;s sportier crop jacket</a>, while <a title="Dorothy Perkins" href="http://us.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=34072&amp;storeId=13065&amp;productId=3732211&amp;langId=-1&amp;_$ja=tsid:34094|prd:Hy3bqNL2jtQ" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins&#8217; champagne sequin</a> jacket is a sleeper hit with it&#8217;s contrast collar.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m on the extreme silver holiday dress bender; I&#8217;ve just acquired myself a <a title="Shopbop" href="http://www.shopbop.com/felda-dress-theyskens-theory/vp/v=1/845524441909889.htm?folderID=2534374302025763&amp;fm=sale-shopbysize&amp;colorId=12208" target="_blank">Theory <em>Felda</em> dress</a> (shown below, also avail <a title="Net-A-Porter" href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/163413" target="_blank">from Net-A-Porter</a> for a hair cheaper than at Shopbop) for my Christmas party season, and now I&#8217;m going crazy for subtle shimmer silvers.  Trash the huge, sparse sequins; that just looks trashy and as if you&#8217;ve been shopping at a strip mall &#8211; it&#8217;s all about the goods below.</p>
<p>The only way you&#8217;re going to do sequins well this holiday season is if they&#8217;re high quality and look seamless, like <a title="Farfetch" href="http://www.farfetch.com/shopping/women/item10131804.aspx?cur=USD" target="_blank">Farah Kahn&#8217;s embellished sleeveless</a> piece.  For something affordable and simply elegant, <a title="Dorothy Perkins" href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=33053&amp;storeId=12552&amp;productId=3732471&amp;langId=-1&amp;cmpId=&amp;viewAllFlag=false&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;beginIndex=1&amp;pageSize=20&amp;categoryId=208782&amp;parent_categoryId=226988" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins&#8217; silver embellished t-shirt dress</a> is as close as you&#8217;re going to get to the Theory <em>Felda</em>&#8216;s material without spending five bills.</p>
<p>For the more traditionalist women, <a title="Topshop" href="us.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=33057&amp;storeId=12556&amp;productId=3760792&amp;langId=-1&amp;siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-QqNOAUUvrZSguTVbj.ebcQ" target="_blank">Topshop&#8217;s high neck jacquard</a> piece has a lovely surprise with its open back, as is <a title="Miss Selfridge" href="http://www.missselfridge.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&amp;viewAllFlag=&amp;catalogId=33055&amp;storeId=12554&amp;productId=3449970&amp;langId=-1&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=208036&amp;parent_categoryId=208035&amp;pageSize=40&amp;siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-2O3ixF4nGFDIK2dieC9epw" target="_blank">Miss Selfridge&#8217;s embellished <em>Yoke</em> dress</a>.  For the ladies who hate taking chances,<a title="Reiss" href="www.reissonline.com/rw/shop/womens/womens_sale/tanya/cloud/" target="_blank"> Reiss&#8217; <em>Tanya</em></a> is simple, elegant and something that that new royal would wear, but I&#8217;m not naming names.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since models at Dolce &amp; Gabbana FW11 stormed the runway, stars have been the mainstay of the quirky pattern world.  Always encouraged by pattern weirdness, I&#8217;ve found quite a few pieces that have piqued my interest, namely <a title="Scotch &amp; Soda" href="http://webstore-nl.scotch-soda.com/star-patterned-cardigan.html" target="_blank">Scotch &amp; Soda&#8217;s cardi</a>.  Along the same knit lines, <a title="Harvey Nichols" href="http://www.harveynichols.com/womens/categories-1/designer-knitwear/jumpers/s375361-star-jumper.html?colour=NAVY" target="_blank">Sea&#8217;s star jumper </a>and <a title="YouHeShe" href="http://int.youheshe.com/she/all-styles/products/merino+uld+toerklaede+med+stjerner-%280311ri-pashmina+star_camel_os%29.aspx" target="_blank">Rika&#8217;s merino wool scarf</a>.</p>
