When I was a little girl, I told my mom that bling makes me happy. I was only seven years old and I was wearing my flower girl dress as I said this. She just chuckled at me, but it’s clear that I’ve always loved beautiful clothing.
Fashion, like art, allows people to express themselves and their creativity. No two women wear an outfit quite the same way. We each put our own twist on it, and that’s what makes it so much fun. We wanted to feature holiday fashion in a gorgeous setting, so we chose the breathtaking Hotel LeVeque and The Keep Kitchen and Liquor Bar in downtown Columbus.
In this issue you will see bold and beautiful holiday glam and party wear with fashion both from local designers and local boutiques. Our team chose styles that are beautiful and flattering to the figure.
You will see modern A-line dresses, velvet jumpsuits, that little black dress, the color red, embroidered florals, and elegant furs. The styles include something appropriate for the office party as well as the formal event.
So at the next holiday party, make an entrance with one of these chic outfits. All the outfits featured are from your favorite local shops. We hope you get inspired and shop local.
