Selecting the perfect bag for your holiday look can be the finishing touch for your ensemble. A great go-to when you’re in need of an evening bag is an elegant clutch. We’ve chosen four options that can be just what you need to complete your outfit.

1.) A colorful clutch can be the perfect addition to your fave LBD. This mosaic bag for $83.31 runs a bit more expensively, but the fun pattern and bright colors really catch the eye.

2.) A shiny gold bag is a great option, and is something that can be used again and again. Selecting something simple, yet still beautiful, such as this one for $37.60, can prove to be a great investment!

3.) A black bag can really go with with almost anything and the gold metallic design of this one adds a gorgeous detail. This bag also comes in black and silver and for $34.00 is truly a great option!

4.) If you like bags that will definitely grab attention, check out this one for $47.99 from Modcloth. The star shape and glittery silver color will be sure to get you tons of compliments!

During the holidays it’s the best time to have fun with fashion and be daring! A great way to set yourself apart from everyone else is with an awesome statement shoe. We picked out six options that could be the icing on top of the cake for your holiday party look!

1.) These wild heels from Modcloth for $119.99 not only are splashed with a metallic cheetah print, but they also have a unique heel with a heart cutout!

2.) We love these sparkly pumps from ALDO for $79.99, and the contrast between the black and the gold is especially eye catching. You’ll be sure to get noticed!

3.) These Sam Edelman slingbacks for $59.99 come in several different bold prints, but we love the black and white zigzag! The classic colors go with anything and are still versatile for future use.

4.) These Betsey Johnson heels for $72.99 look unassuming from the front, but the back shows off a gorgeous lace up detail, which is reminiscent of a corset!

5.) The bold electric blue color of these Steve Madden pumps ($129.95) is beautiful, and the heels are adorned with small rhinestones for just the right amount of sparkle.

6.) Looking to really make a statement? Check out the Fab-fetti heels from Modcloth for $47.99. The multicolored sparkles and the scalloped edging really make this shoe stand out!
