Kylie Minogue's Sequin Pants and Bow-Tie Blouse Look for Less

Try sequin pants with a bow tie blouse like Kylie Minogue for your next holiday party.
Try sequinned pants with a bow-tie blouse for your next holiday party, inspired by the lovely Kylie Minogue, who wore this sparkly combination to the Ivy restaurant with her fiance Joshua Sasse.

Nothing says holiday glam like sequins, and I love how Kylie kept the color palette classic and chic in white and black so the look doesn't go too over-the-top.

Then again, the holidays are the perfect time to go for sparkle, shine and shimmer, so finish the look with metallic sandals and chandelier earrings. No wallflowers here!

Victoria Beckham cut a stylish figure in check pants and a warm turtleneck sweater as she headed out in chilly Manhattan.

She's ticking off all the trend boxes with her turtleneck top that also boasts dramatic bell sleeves, plus wide-leg crop pants and split-front stiletto booties that help elongate her silhouette.

I love the classic simplicity of this look that still manages to pack a high-fashion punch. This is what I'd aspire to wear for winter if I were working in an office! Even if your look is more casual you could take inspiration from this ensemble and pair a turtleneck with plaid pants and loafer flats.

If you're getting warm and fuzzy fashion feelings from this look, too, read on for my look for less finds...

Gigi Hadid's Colorblock Scarf and Fur-Lined Mules Look for Less

Gigi Hadid's Colorblock Scarf and Gucci Loafers Look for Less
Gigi Hadid was spotted wearing a patchwork scarf and slip on shoes as she arrived from Brussels on the Eurostar train at St. Pancras Station.

I'm loving her world-traveler chic style because it's all about comfy basics and stand-out accessories, from her artsy scarf to her eclectic Gucci 10mm Princetown Rose Leather and Fur Mules ($995).

I think you guys will appreciate the Gucci dupe I found under $50 (comes in 11 different color combos for all you fur-lined mule lovers!)

Pick up all the pieces you'll need to copy Gigi's style below...

The Look for Less: Marble iPhone Case

Marble iPhone cases from $20 to $8
Marble is having a moment for giving your tech accessories a chic makeover. I love this look but haven't found a marble case that blends good looks and durability. However, if you're not as accident prone as I am and just want a good looking case, H&M has one for just $7.99. Urban Outfitters also has a marble case that's $20, but it gets really poor reviews from customers. I'm guessing neither will provide a ton of protection for your device, but if you're just going for the look, why pay more? Which would you choose?

High: Urban Outfitters iPhone 6/6s Marble Case, $20 (I'd get this marble Swell Water bottle or this marble laptop skin instead!)

Low: H&M iPhone 6/6s Marble Case, $7.99
