Turning Heads Linkup- A Holiday Look with Karina Dresses + Giveaway!

img_5402

Hello Friends

You all know by now I am a dress and skirt kind of girl. I am collaborating with Karina Dresses today to bring you this fun festive look for the Holidays, be it for a Holiday party, a Christmas Show, or dressing for Christmas Day. Typically, I like to layer this time of year, but I wanted to show the dress off. Karina dresses is also partnering with me to provide a Giveaway for a Karina Dress!! When you enter, please tell me what dress you would choose from their Holiday Collection.

I curled my hair with hot rollars, as it takes really well. You should see how big and curly my hair is when I take them out! The leaves were finally changing color and I love the orange-red tones.

I will be sharing different Holiday looks on the blog throughout December, from a more casual dress to a formal gown. This is a more traditional pairing of burgundy than last week, black and burgundy, but I wanted to make the details stand out.

I chose this dress, the Megan, as I love its 1940s style, 3/4 length sleeves and slight puff sleeve. Easy to dress up for the Holidays, paired with  sparkly vintage jewelry, faux fur,  some black bow-adorned  Coach kitten heels and textured clutch.  If you would love to see some of the Karina styles I have worn, you can see them here, here and here.

A gold and ruby vintage brooch adds a Holiday touch to the faux fur.

Looking for a gift for someone who loves fashion? Karina dresses have so many styles to choose from. They also make a great gift for someone who travels. They are wrinkle free, so one can easily roll them in their suitcase, which makes it easy for traveling and getting ready.

These gold sparkly earrings are vintage and bought on Etsy.

    From a man’s perception very beautiful… Though if I was selected the dress would either go to my mother, sister or female friend – that I want to treat out to a meal (picnic) on the beach!

    Karina dresses are so flattering and well-designed. I love your deep red dress, such a beautiful colour. The faux fur stole and vintage-style jewellery looks stunning with it. It would be a tough choice but I think I’d choose the Margaret dress in navy with cranberry dots.

    I love that you added the fur to this outfit, Jess—it almost looks like part of the dress and it’s so stunning.
    If I had to choose from the Holiday collection, I’d choose the Trudy—I love it when dresses come with sleeves so I’m not freezing my tookus off!!

    You look amazing! Love the curls. The way you styled this dress really makes it look dressed up and party ready. The faux fur and vintage jewelry adds a beautiful touch of elegance. I would have never thought to add that fur collar, but it really adds texture to the outfit and it looks warm! Beautiful! – Amy

    The color is fabulous on you and I adore the fur collar. What a smart accessory choice! As to the Karina dress I fancy, Ruby – Atomic Umbrella caught my eye as did Ruby – Afternoon Tea, however I’m partial to pockets so the Penelope style might be a better choice.
