There are two extremes when it comes to holiday style. The SnowGlobe and the Scrooge. (I’m working on better names… suggestions welcome!). The Scrooge glides through the holidays in their regular clothes, without even a hint of holiday headband or festive scarf, while the Snowglobe dons Christmas sweaters in October and stops just short of a Christmas tree in the abundance of ornaments.
(Do not take it personally if I just called you a SnowGlobe or a Scrooge. I just like the alliteration, and all the Christmas references are colliding in my head right now. Nothing else came to mind.)
Between these two extremes, there are the rest of us. We feel festive and Christmas-spirit-y and want to express it in our style, when the situation and the mood strike, but we aren’t auditioning for ELF. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.)
These styles are for us. They are easy, elegant, and effortless pieces that infuse a touch of festive style into your wardrobe without a total closet overhaul. And most of them are pretty affordable, too.

My Buzzworthy pick this time is a category more than a single item. I’m obsessed with the new waterfall crystal earrings that are trending. They are such a fun way to add glam and movement to any outfit, from your everyday casual looks to party-ready favorites.
