The holidays are always such a fun time to style outfits. Although, it’s also that time of the year that reminds me I have nothing in my closet that’s festive enough (when in actuality it’s exploding with options). I could spend hours coming up with different looks for each occasion, but nothing really works in my mind. Quite frankly, nobody’s got kind time to dig through everything in their closet. You need to have that go-to piece that will take your look from everyday casual to holiday glam in a snap. Needless to say, I’m so glad to be teaming up with Steve Madden and Her Campus to highlight the golden (or should I say metallic) ticket to conquering the holiday madness! I introduce you too – metallic oxfords!

When it comes to the holidays, you want to be able to have fun with your outfit. I always like to experiment with mixing prints and colors. Hence, the polka dots and plaid combo. Plaid is always a pattern to come in clutch for the holidays, so I highly suggest you checking out this suit. Not only does it fit impeccably, but I’m always down for a menswear inspired look.
To really make the plaid pop, I styled it with some rustic orange polka dots. I even bought this blouse in another print, because it’s too good. Sorry not sorry. The rustic orange shades make it the perfect color combo for Thanksgiving. Plus, the polka dots just add that unique flare!

At the same time though, we probably don’t want to wear the same look for every holiday event. There needs to be that clutch piece that will help you survive the holiday party circuit. A shoe can make or break an outfit, and I’ve managed to find the metallic key to all my holiday looks. I’ve always been a fan of oxfords, because I’m not a huge heels girl. Oxfords allow me to keep my balance but feel dressed up at the same time. Add metallic oxfords to the mix and you’ll feel comfy, festive, and glam all holiday season long!
These oxfords have already been circulated into my work shoes rotation, and even on the first day I got so many compliments. They really make a statement, but in an effortlessly subtle way – if that’s even humanly possible.

When you find that perfect piece that goes with everything in your wardrobe and adds that little bit of festive umph to your look, you feel on top of the world! So good that it’s time to que the music and start dancing. If you don’t believe me, just check out my IG video!
In partnership with Steve Madden’s record label, we’re celebrating the recently signed emerging artist, EZI! She just released her new single Dancing In A Room and it has the power to relax, soothe and amp you up all in one song. Just think Ingrid Michelson meets Florence + The Machine with an electronic twist.
Dressing up for the holidays has always been a favorite of mine – even more so this season with my metallic oxfords! I’m also excited to release this post as the first edition to my Holiday Survival Guide series. Instead of the over load of gift guides, I’m doing a “less is more” approach to mastering the holiday spirit. From holiday styling and festive closet gems, to top 5 gifts for tardy shoppers and festive traditions, my goal is to help you survive the holidays in style. Let me know if there’s anything specific you would like me to cover, and cheers to fashion, music, and killer shoes!
