I started writing this post by apologizing about the fact that it has been so quiet on Thefashionguitar.com the past week, but then I reminded myself of an article I read on Vogue.com this weekend, about the “6 things working women should never email”. Now content of the article does not apply completely to me deciding not to apologies here, but it does make me feel confident that you all know that when it’s quiet on my blog, there’s something exciting happening elsewhere…
For someone who wears a little to no make-up, a party make-up look is a big thing. A challenge! But I wouldn’t be myself if I wouldn’t like a little challenge every now and then, so I teamed up with Charlotte Tilbury to recreate something legendary… Something that brings us all in that perfect party-mood.

Last September, I took a little side-project… All dressed up in my favorite Dolce-summer-look I shared one of my favorite smoothie recipes with you.

Truly, this look worked fine on a “relatively” warm winter day, as I managed to not freeze anywhere, but my nose. But there’s another problem…
This year I’m taking “Dressing for the Holidays” to a next level, and I’m sure Santa would be really proud of me when he sees me in his favorite colors. Funny thing though is that I’ve never really been the kind of girl who goes all the way that time of year, maybe because I didn’t find a good compromise between all that glitter and my love for the simple. Yet, with an obsession for – sometimes – sparkly statement shoes and bags, I could potentially been very good at it.
