Cute and Still Cozy: Holiday Styling by Lela

Why sacrifice comfort for style - or vice versa? Everything is possible with the power of styling. Here are a few of our favorite outfits for achieving just that, along with a few helpful tips. 

Back to Basics: Lysse is your best friend

Belts and non-stretch fabrics are for the warmer months! Free your mind with our absolute favorite leggings by Lysse. They are definitely a splurge but once you own one pair, you'll a convert for life.

 

Orange You Glad It's Tweed?

This rusty orange sweater, complete with cute tie-detail at either wrist, is very cute on its own with a pair of Lysse leggings. But you can bump it up to the next level with this tweed vest and a coordinating knit hat! 

Breaking Up Black

We're all guilty of relying on the color black in colder climes. Bring life back to your outfit by layering a black turtleneck and leggings underneath a dress that might otherwise be relegated to summertime.

Delightfully Detailed

Dress down a detailed shirt by pairing it with a plain dress or tunic underneath. Add leggings for an additional layer and you're set - or dress it up with a tailored blazer and pants!

Tropical Vibes in Freezing Temperatures

Longing for a beach getaway? Here's a less expensive alternative. This cashmere wrap will have you feeling temperate in no time; add a bold accessory, like this toucan brooch from Erstwilder, and really take your winter fashion to the next level.

Our Best Holidays Outfits (So Far)

Winter is coming... and that means tons of parties! Peruse below for our latest and greatest picks.

Dark Floral Dream

Flowers aren't just for spring anymore! Maggy London's muted take on the trend makes for an elegant holiday staple. We paired it with a fur-trimmed sweater for extra coverage and flair.

In The Mix
Want to try something a little different? Combine various textures in your outfit to make simple pieces a little funky. 

Purple Pop
Tired of red and green for the holidays? Step out in this gorgeous Samuel Dong gown to turn heads and stand out from the crowd. 

Subtle Sparkle
These aren't your daughter's sequins! This elegant Eva Franco dress pairs softer tones on top of beautiful black velvet with an asymmetric skirt hem. Love!

Festively Dressed
How incredible is this piece? Nicole Miller has done it again. If you find the neckline a bit much, try it with a lace bandeau underneath.

Luxury Shoe Love: Consignment Style

One of the best parts of shopping at Lela is, in my humble opinion, consignment... getting an amazing piece of clothing for a fraction of the original price is the best feeling. Lately, we find ourselves with a glut of expensive shoes from various designers. Here are some of our favorites!
