High Fashion Meets Etsy

Dressing it up or dressing it down, the iconic little black dress, made famous by Coco Chanel, is a forever ultimate classic piece of fashion art. A little black dress can come in all different looks, but my favorite ruffled hem little black dress this holiday season comes from the ANNA K. shop on Etsy.

The ANNA K. shop offers wide selection of clothing from dresses, tops and tees, headpieces, swimwear and more. Priding herself on developing naive, escapist, and minimalistic clothing, Keren, owner of ANNA K., has been working as a fashion designer for ten years. Her dresses are made by a "less is more" motto which is the perfect mentality to have for a perfect casual black dress that can be worn day or night.

I was drawn to this store and her clothing based on her belief that dressing should make us happy, and not be seen as a stressful everyday task. Piecing together your outfits is much like the creative process those in the art world go through. From colors, structures, patterns, and prints, it all should really come down to what pieces make you the happiest and engulfs you with confidence.

This dress from ANNA K. is definitely the prettiest thing that I would want to discover as a gift on Christmas morning. Although high fashion seems to be about everything being over the top and extraordinary, taking the perfect starting piece and dressing it up to the nines is what it's all about. I am all for minimalist clothing. It's easy, simple, and something that is easy to accessorize. I loved that structure of the dress was precise at the top, but with a flare coming from the ruffled hem. Its comfortable fit makes it the perfect dress for all those holiday and New Year parties!

Little black dresses really come to life when paired with the right accessories like my favorite walking work of art, shoes. For all of you that have had heart eyes broken over the price of studded Valentino pumps, I've got you covered. From over one thousand dollars to less than one hundred, these BCBG Paris Darron Pumps from DSW are the next best thing this holiday season. Two toned and giving off an edge with the gold studs, these pumps are more than similar, they look exactly like Valentino is gracing your feet.

Sparkle time! I spiced up this black dress with The Shopping Bag's Daphne Link Chain Necklace. So many layers of sparkle and shine gave the perfect final touch to this outfit! Plus, right now The Shopping Bag is doing a limited time 25% sale on jewelry using the discount code NEWYEARS2015...so I'd get on that if I were you because this ends December 31, 2014!
