Back to Black

Although we've sung the praises of the LWD here, and provided winter-appropriate alternatives to the LBD here, sometimes you just can't beat the timeless elegance of a chic black dress. Vicky dressed up her look by adding heels, silvery jewellery, and sparkly black nails, but toned it down with a tousled updo and peach lips; the perfect balance for a casual New Year's look.

Anna Karenin-spired

Vicky recently had a Banana Republic work event to launch the store's Anna Karenina-themed Holiday collection, and, naturally, the dress code for the evening was "Russian." And, more specifically, black with touches of grey or red. A touch of fur, dash of red lipstick, and strand of pearls did the job nicely, giving a basic black outfit a winter-glam vibe.
