EDITOR'SNOTE
Happy Holidays That time of year is here again, and as we gallantly fight through hordes of fellow shoppers trying to find those few perfect gifts for our special someones, we reflect upon why we didn't start shopping sooner! We must love the thrill of the hunt, of last minute drama in frantically searching for that final present which will say exactly what that person means to us without our having to utter a single word. Of course, this festive season also means company parties, New Year's gatherings and the time of family and friends! With so many opportunities to justify buying a new dress, or maybe even a few new accessories, it can be a little difficult to stay in the mindset of giving when recieving can be just as fun! Stay Stylish,
Kristy Lacroix Trendslation Editor

holiday gifts GIFT GIVING CAN BE HIT OR MISS, AND IT'S USUALLY THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS REGARDLESS! BUT SOMETIMES A MISS IS JUST TOO TERRIBLE AND SO WE PAY HOMAGE TO THE BEST OF THE WORST.

UGLY KNITWEAR
If it's a joke, fine. If it's a cheeky t-shirt, fine. But you actually expected us to be excited to wear an actual ugly sweater?
07 REGIFTING
This should just be one of the unbreakable rules of how not to give a gift. Especially if we gave it to you first, and you forget and gift it back. Awkward.
THE FRUITCAKE
We think this is actually a brick disguised as a cake. Well played, brick. Well played. www.warehouseone.com
HOLIDAY THEMED ANYTHING
Not that there's anything wrong with them, but who wants a gift they can't use for another year?

SELF-IMPROVMENT
No one wants a gift that reminds them of their flaws. Awkward x 2. TRENDSLATION

FROSTED French Manicure W

FROSTED French Manicure
1 Start with a clean nail. Paint a thin strip of the snow effect paint along the top of the nail using the paintbrush. The line doesn't have to be perfect since we want to acheive a snow-like effect! www.warehouseone.com
HAIRAPY
WHAT YOU'LL NEED: white snow paint a small paintbrush small snowflake stickers
2 Once the white snow paint is dry, paint a thin coat of the sparkle nailpolish on top of the white snow coat ONLY. Leave the rest of the nail for now.
a white glitter topcoat polish a clear topcoat polish
3 Now take one of the snowflake stickers and place it on one nail on each hand. We find using stickers is a much better way to get a snowflake on your nails than trying to paint one!
4 Now do one or two coats of the clear topcoat on each hand and you're finished! A wintery french manicure with a cute snow theme!

FOR THE BOYS <<< HAS A HOOD.
The PULLOVER
TRY
STYLING THIS WITH...
Pullover shirts are a great choice for winter months as they are both easy-to-wear and comfortable. Always long-sleeved, they come in many different styles and can include fooler inserts or hoods. Pullovers look best layered under jackets or vests. This should be a key winter wardrobe staple.
A "FOOLER" IS AN INSERT AT THE NECK OF THE SHIRT THAT LOOKS LIKE A SECOND LAYERED SHIRT. www.warehouseone.com

STAPLE BASICS
Dark wash bootcut denim is easy to create an outfit around. Boot-cut jeans look great with flats or heels and the dark wash in particular is really easy to dress up or down. These jeans should be a wardrobe staple.

PERFECT NEUTRALS
A long sleeve v-neck tee flatters all body types and is perfect for layering, particularly in the winter months. This cozy extra is great when worn under a statement tee, and can be used as a pop colour item. We opted to keep the colour neutral for this look.
COLOUR CALLOUT
A beautiful deep purple v-neck tee is the centerpiece of this look. With burnout texture, stunning floral graphics and sparkling embellishment, this tee is a great example of cute meets casual. Perfect for days when you want to look good without trying too hard. TRENDSLATION
