Holiday Link List

How are your holiday plans going? Have you bought and sent all your gifts? (I haven't at all! Eeep!) Have you gotten yourself some lovely new clothes for all the holiday parties? (I'm still searching!) But I do have a list of some lovely holiday inspired links, that get me in the mood for Christmas, the gift wrapping and getting gussied up for the seasons parties.

Beautiful wrapping ideas by Creature Comforts

Ezee's amazing online Holiday magazine Gifted.

A great guide for pairing earrings and hairstyles this holiday season.

I'm planning on using these, Spin Pins  by Goody to make chic holiday chignons. I'm thinking a bun would look great with a side braid, simple eye make up and red lips.

I want to try Ginny's list of favorite Red Lipsticks.

Riveting Choose Your Own Fashion Adventure Video. I keep watching it over and over, making new choices each time.

Fun and Funky DIY Nails Designs for the holidays.

I adore this Tiffany & Co. holiday campaign (its from 2010 but still lovely). The brand also has an accompanying video.

Link Love: Beauty Edition

Here are a couple of beauty oriented sites I've been into lately:

Cult of Pretty - Ann Colville Somma works in the beauty industry as an innovation consultant. She loves sharing her advice, insider information and the cult products you might not have heard of. Her website has a section where reader's can ask her anything and get her advice on their beauty concerns. She also runs the amazing fashion site Holier Than Now

Lisa Eldridge Makeup - Lisa has AMAZING tutorials and sound makeup advice. A professional make-up artist with years of experience, she's now the Creative Director for British cosmetics brand No. 7.

The Beauty Department -Lauren Conrad's new beauty oriented site has some fun tidbits.

Into the Gloss I've mentioned this in a previous link love post but Emily's unique and wide ranging peek into the beauty routines and looks of people in the fashion industry is always worth a visit.
