Here are some feminine and sugary sweet holiday season ideas.

Don't forget to get a great moisturizer for the winter: this one by Clinique comes highly recommended and has a good SPF.

TREND WATCH: HOT BODYSUIT

The Spring runway shows spit out plenty of these trendy bodysuits, here are some for amazing prices.

As always, when dressing up a trendy item, stay away from matching trend with trend. That means stay away from the black liquid leggings and 80s mini skirts. The trend is the body suit, not full on 80s.

I dressed up my pick with some sheer but shimmery tights and made the focus of the outfit the "lines". The bodysuit itself has a diagonal line, and the sweater has stripes and an interesting front drape. The shoes also have a muted two toned look that seems to mimic the body suit.

Dark makeup will pull this strong look together.

Stay away from pieces that make you look like you are a Gaga clone. Add your own personal style and it will stand out at a party or club.

One more thing, if you really want to rock the bodysuit and feel too self conscious, try using a shaper and always wear tights to hide any cellulite in the upper thighs.

BEAUTY: PEACHY PETALS

This is one of my favorite color combinations. Warm toned iridescent pinks and black (or grey). Make your eyes as dark as you want and still wear other makeup without feeling over done.

This is a great clothing color combo as well.

DATE NIGHT

For me, safe first date bets (and even the dates thereafter) have always been black or red dresses. Both are classic and sexy, and I love the form-fitting knit styles that are currently in fashion. The simplicity of the ones below give free reign to boldly accessorize, and both colors do well with rosy gold and champagne hues. I wouldn't recommend piling on all the jewelry listed for the same outfit, but all the options are mixable and interchangeable, and the nail polish works wonderfully with both looks.

As for the shoes, I like basic black peep toes with the red American Apparel dress, and cute, patent red heels with the black tube dress.

EVERYDAY CHIC

A casual but trendy outfit for any day of the week. Sunglasses and coffee included of course. A closet staple for myself is a fitted black blazer and this one from Forever 21 gives visual interest from the tweed and chiffon trim mixed with the striped shirt. Small gold star studs adds a subtle youthful touch and the quilted bag is a good size for whatever a girl needs to carry with her!
