Two Ways To Wear Faux Fur Jackets

One of my favorite things to wear over my holiday party outfits is faux fur jackets. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been quite cold enough around here to bust out the faux fur, but I have faith that cold weather is coming! I was actually in New York when I took these photos so it was cold enough!

Hi everyone, as you can see these are two pretty easy outfits that I styled beneath the faux fur jacket.  I’m sure you already have a black jumpsuit or simple black top and jeans in your closet and then all you need is a pop of color and a fun statement coat. I added a pop of color to the black denim look with my Rebecca Minkoff cross body bag and a hint of holiday flare with my red heels.

Olive Vest + Over The Knee Boots

If you’ve been looking for the perfect piece of outerwear to complete your casual, everyday outfits, you can stop searching now because this olive vest is exactly what you need. I found this exact vest at Haus 131, which is also where I got this comfy, grey pocket tee from too. I don’t know about you, but all of my favorite casual tees seem to disappear in the laundry along with all of my socks and pony tails. I literally can’t keep a cute, easy shirt like this for longer than a couple of months! So I love that I found this one with good quality at a super affordable price.

The Perfect Undone Braid For Holiday Parties

My all time favorite hairstyle no matter the season is hands-down, a chunky, undone braid with lots of height and volume.  Unfortunately, I can’t always achieve that look on my own so I had professional Tresemme stylist, Jeanie Syfu work her magic to help me create the perfect, coveted undone braid for holiday parties. To make my braid look thicker, Jeanie braided four sections instead of three. Once, she finished the braid, she pulled the strands apart to make it apear fuller.

Hi everyone, this is my second holiday hairstyle look with Tresemme and possibly my favorite too.  I’ll let you decide though once we get to the last hairstyle post. See my first one here–> The Perfect Holiday Top Knot

Jeanie’s tips for a Big 4 strand braid: For a fuller braid, back brush hair before weaving strands. Finish with Perfectly Undone hairspray.

P.S. Tresmme hair products make great stocking stuffers! My favorites are the (un)Done Hairspray and the Wave Creation Sea Foam. The Blow Dry Balm is great too!
