Hot Holiday Heels

I have a few dresses in mind to make for parties and events over the holidays that will necessitate some pretty accessories. I really like all the heels below, but can't make a decision. I'm looking for festive and trendy. I'd also like to wear them more than once. I really like the details on some of these with the fringe, sequins and metal hardware.

SAG Awards Favorites

If you're into the awards and the red carpet fashion, I'm sure you have already seen all the favorites from last nights awards show. I won't go through every one that I loved or hated, but I will share a few that I have been inspired by.

Cutouts

Kyra Sedgwick in a red Pucci and Amber Heard in black Zac Posen. 

 I can't get enough of Kyra's dress! And damn, she looks good for her age too! I'm sorta obsessing over cutouts and thinking of patterns I can alter for dresses with this look for the summer. 

Lace necklines

Stacey Keibler in Marchesa and Michelle Williams in Valentino. 

I really love the scalloped lace necklines of both of these dresses and I even have a pattern with a similar look! I'm a little hesitant to work with lace though. So we'll see....

McCalls 6505 New Spring pattern

I was so thrilled when I found this pattern because it reminds me of this Lauren Conrad Marchesa dress. I'd be pretty proud of myself if I could make this very similar.
