Thanksgiving with style

Happy Thanksgiving! Typically, this holiday lacks the glitz and glamour that Christmas often brings, but there is no excuse to shy away from a fabulous fall look while you give thanks!

Check out my five tips to help you celebrate this Thanksgiving with ultimate Style!

1. Picture Ready: Be sure to use a foundation primer that will keep your makeup looking fresh and picture ready the entire day. If you are anything like me and my family, we house hop all day and there are plenty of photo opps. I suggest picking up the very affordable 1 ounce Smashbox Photo Finsish Foundation Primer sold at Sephora. www.sephora.com. It's light and creates a smooth pallet keeping your foundation in place free from running or fading.  

2. Pucker Up: Thanksgiving is a time for family, hugs and kisses. You'll be visiting with Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and Cousins that you haven't see in a while. Put your best lips forward and rock some great fall colors by the Covergirl Queen Collection. My favorites this season are "Spicy Seduction" and "Javalicous". These awesome lip colors can be found at any major drug stores or online at http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-lipcolor

3. Haute Hostess: If you will be doing the cooking or catering, dazzle your guests with a tailored made Thanksgiving apron. You can prove to your guests that your style shines through in your food and your fashion. Perfect holiday themed aprons can be found at www.elizabethsokinproductions.com

4.  Smell the Part: Whether hosting or house hopping, you will not only need to look your best, but smell your best throughout the day. Target has some great perfume gift sets that allow you to try several named brand perfumes without committing to the entire bottle. Visit your local target or visit them online at www.target.com

5. Make a Toast: Nothing says holidays quite like the perfect holiday cocktail. Something easy, different and chic is what Martha Stewart likes to call the "Cider Smash"! It's a serving of Bourbon topped with Lemon Juice and Apple Cider and your favorite fruit garnish, such as a cherry or orange slice. Serve this to your guests after a long day of pigging out!

Here's to bringing in your Thanksgiving with Style! Happy Holidays!
