5 Trends to Spice up Your Holiday Fashion

sequin dressWhether you’re trying to figure out what to wear to a holiday party, family dinner or even New Years Eve, knowing the latest trends always helps. Holiday fashion is about pulling out all the stops and going bold. These holiday staples in women’s clothing, including dresses, separates and accessories (all with Cash Back at Ebates), incorporate some must-try trends that will give your special-occasion looks a chic upgrade.

Frills and Flare

Flounce Sleeve Dress

We’ve been noticing a healthy dose of flounce, ruffles and flare in Christmas fashion silhouettes this year. However, it’s important not to overdo it. This Eloquii dress in lively emerald has just the slightest nod to this trend with a flared sleeve.

A.L.C.

A single ruffle across the front of this A.L.C. dress goes a long way in making a chic statement. Plus, the color is perfect for those who crave a little brightness, even in the winter.

Grace Elements Ribbed Sweater Skirt

This flared sweater skirt not only boasts a flirty shape, but goes the extra mile with some subtle sparkle and shimmer.

Statement Shoes

Chinese Laundry Stilo

Sometimes we need to leave it all up to the shoes to make a splash with our holiday look. These gold metallic pumps are neural enough to go with almost anything with and will easily pump up your favorite LBD.

 

Carlos by Carlos Santana Posy Pump

Gold and silver are go-to holiday colors but pewter will always let you stand apart from the pack. This bold glitter heel is perfect for any glamour girl.

Mojo Moxy Mosaic

An embellished heel like this one really is a show-stopper. Pair pumps like this with a simple sheath dress to really let them make a splash.

Pops of Red

NARS SEMI-MATTE

Dressing in red may seem like a great idea, but you run the risk of looking like a giant Christmas present. Instead, opt for bold pops of red, the most classic of which is a sultry red lipstick like this NARS semi-matte shade.

Red metal frame clutch bag

A simple yet structured red clutch is so completely fierce and breaks through the noise of sparkle and shine to make a bold fashion statement.

Geometric Collar Necklace

This red geometrical collar necklace also has the same effect. Since the color is so eye-catching, go with a more muted makeup palette like a smokey eye and nude lip.

Winter Whites

BLACK LABEL Zipper Blazer

Not wearing white after labor day is a dated fashion rule that must be buried and forgotten. White on white looks are crisp, clean and downright fierce. You can easily pull them off for holiday events with a few staples, one of which is a sassy little white blazer.

Elie Tahari

Pressed white slacks with a slim fit and a full length are also totally winter-friendly, especially when paired with a pointed pump or bootie. Jennifer Lopez Wide-Leg Jumpsuit

And the Pièce De Résistance of winter white looks has to be the white jumpsuit. A flared leg jumpsuit like this is a nod to vintage fashion while still keeping it totally relevant.

Shimmering Sequins

Studio Sequin Jumpsuit

Sequin is of course a holiday fashion staple and we know it may seem intimidating. But fear not! Even all-over sequin looks, like this sequin jumpsuit, are completely acceptable for holiday functions. What fun would they be without a little pageantry?

Midi Pencil Skirt in Sequin

Sequin pieces don’t have to be the standard gold, silver and black either. This sequin midi skirt is stunningly iridescent and would look fabulous with a shell top or sweater. 
Sequin Clutch

If you are still not totally sold on sequin, try some accessories like this silver sequin clutch. A little glitz and glam does do a long way for your holiday look.

15-Minute Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Tips

Thanksgiving may be the most annoying holiday. It’s bad enough that you have to spend all day cooking for your relatives, but Thanksgiving has the audacity to come on the day before Black Friday! Seriously, whoever scheduled Thanksgiving should have been a little more considerate than to put it right in front of the biggest and best shopping day of the year.

We know you want to get out of that kitchen and in line at Best Buy, Kohl’s, Kmart or Walmart as soon as humanly possible. Well, not to worry! We’ve got all the tips and tricks you’ll need to cut your Thanksgiving prep time way down so you can start celebrating what the holidays are really all about: unrestrained consumerism. Get ready for your 15-minute Thanksgiving!

Invite Guests — Lots and Lots of Guests

We know what you’re thinking. Guests!? Won’t that be more work for me? Well, not if you put your guests to work. Invite all your friends and relatives over for Turkey Day, then “politely” suggest that since you’re hosting, maybe they could bring a side dish or dessert. Before you know it, you’ve got a table full of chumps who’ve done all your cooking for you.

Thanksgiving food prepBuffet Style

Once again, it’s time to put your guests to work. Don’t waste precious minutes individually serving everyone at the table. Set out all your dishes and invite everyone to serve themselves. Setting up your Thanksgiving meal buffet-style is a great way to speed up the day. All your guests can start grabbing food at the same time and get down to eating much quicker. To make it even more fun and casual, forgo the dinner table altogether. Invite guests to eat wherever they please. Football fans can take their turkey into the TV room to keep watching the big game. Kids can huddle in the playroom for their own fun meal. Just have garbage bags stationed everywhere; this will encourage people to throw out their own trash, saving you even more work.

Speedy Bird

Your guests are getting you out of cooking any sides or desserts, but if you’re hosting Thanksgiving, there’s one dish you won’t be able to escape from making: the turkey. As Thanksgiving host, the bird is your solemn responsibility. Luckily, cooking a turkey doesn’t have to be an arduous, all-day event. Explore some alternative, time-saving ways to get the turkey on the table and ready to eat. Deep frying a turkey cuts your cooking time down to an hour. Spatchcocking it (cutting out its backbone and flattening it) will also reduce the bird’s time in the oven. Of course, there’s also the ultimate time saver: buying a pre-cooked bird at the store. Just pop it in the oven with the heat on low before your guests arrive and no one will ever know you didn’t cook it yourself.

Put It On Paper

Cleanup can be a real time-killer on Thanksgiving. Instead of spending hours at the sink scrubbing gravy stains off your mother’s fine china, just dump it all into a garbage bag and be done with it! Simply switch to paper plates and plastic utensils this year. For some extra flare, stop in at your local party store for disposable dinnerware with seasonal designs. Don’t worry about coming off as “low-class.” Just tell people that normal dinner plates make everything too formal and you were going for a more fun, festive and friendly atmosphere this year.

Here's to good times with great people!

Let the Wine Flow

Let’s get your guests nice and sleepy so they can head home to their nice, warm beds, and you can commence with your Black Friday festivities. The tryptophan in the turkey is a good start, but if you really want to send these freeloaders to snooze town, pour on the wine. Have bottles of it stationed everywhere and constantly be on hand to offer them a quick refill. There are a ton of nice, cheap red wines (the sleepiest of wines) that pair perfectly with turkey. Bottles of Montevina Zinfandel or Planeta La Segreta can both be purchased for under $15. For added effect, slowly turn up the temperature in your house over the course of the meal. Your guests will be ready to go before their second serving of pumpkin pie. (Also, maybe make sure they all have Lyft on their phone.)

And by the way, shopping Best Buy, Kohl’s, Kmart or Walmart online with Cash Back at Ebates will save you even more time to kick back this Thanksgiving.

If you haven’t already kicked off your holiday online shopping, Cyber Monday is a great time to start, especially when it comes to shopping daily deals on kids’ toys.

Toys for Babies and Toddlers

These top toys for your littlest ones promote learning through play and feature beloved characters like Doc McStuffins, Mickey Mouse and Thomas the Tank Engine! Find awesome toys for girls and boys who love to build or the best learning tablets to make the most out of screen time. Or, if you prefer no screen time at all but love the idea of interactive learning, the Smart Toy Bear is perfect. Flexing their muscles is just as important as exercising their minds. Encourage movement and time outdoors with a super cool Thomas Tricycle.

Toys for Tweens and Teens

Choosing top toys for older kids can seem a little more difficult but it helps to stay on top of what’s popular in their worlds. The release of Star Wars: Episode VII is bringing about some coveted The Force Awakens toys for boys and girls who are just discovering this timeless franchise. Popular Netflix kids’ shows like Project Mc2 also have a line of toys sure to fly off the shelves. Don’t forget about Barbie!

The Best Things to Buy in November

November may be all about holiday gift shopping but don’t forget that you still have plenty of time to check off your list. In order to stretch your budget as far as it can reach, you may want to jump on certain items this month and leave others for December. Here is our complete guide on the best things to buy in November.

Kitchen Goods – Restock your own cook’s corner or plan gift-buying for all the foodies and chefs on your list this month. Experts report that nearly half of all kitchen sales have featured the lowest prices of the year on top items like Pyrex containers and even KitchenAid mixers.
Stores to watch: Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond.

Major Appliances – Black Friday has been known to feature the hottest appliance sales on items like Dyson vacuums, washers, dryers, dishwashers and refrigerators. However, the entire month of November is fair game. So while you may not be planning to gift an entire washer/dryer unit, you may consider taking this time to upgrade your own.
Stores to watch: Sears, Best Buy.

ToolsTools – Expect to see amazing deals on select hand tools and power drill sets. This is usually typical for the colder months when people are less likely to take on household projects. However, beware. Some purchases may require in-store pickup while others will offer free shipping. Always be clear on the purchase terms before checkout.
Stores to watch: Ace Hardware, Lowe’s.

Tablets – Tap into savings with rock bottom prices on cheap tablets including Android and Windows models. Believe it or not, you may be able to score off-brand Android tablets for as low as $20 and Windows tablets for as low as $45! Want to save even more? Go with a refurbished model. If you’re an Apple user, don’t fret. The iPad mini 4 and iPad Air 2 are projected to drop significantly in price with the upcoming release of the iPad Pro.
Stores to watch: Lenovo, Best Buy.

Clothes – Start shopping for clothes on the Monday before Black Friday to see the most savings on apparel for the whole family. The average clothing sales for this time of year can take off over 50% while some can go as low as 80% off. Also, be on the lookout for clothing coupons that can take up to 60% off.
Stores to watch: Kohl’s, J.Crew.

Video GamesConsole Bundles – Black Friday is slated to bring the best prices of the year on console and game bundles including PlayStation4 and Xbox One. The best bundles will include two free video games normally priced at around $60. If you’re tempted to buy a refurbished console to save money, it may actually be a better deal to go with a bundle so be sure to weigh the costs.
Store to watch: The Hut, Game Stop.

15″ Laptops – Expect to see amazing price drops on big-name laptops that use either Intel’s current generation Core i5 processor or the Broadwell Core i5 CPU. These laptop sales will also extend to generic laptops, however, you may want to opt for higher quality at a great deal. Big names will go for about $300 while bargain bin, 11″ laptops will be as low as $150.
Stores to watch: Kmart, Microsoft Store.

Candy! – Need we remind you that Halloween has passed leaving lonely Halloween candy on shelves just waiting to be eaten? Fill those candy dishes with fun-sized errthang at next to nothing!
