Oh, baby, do I love a holiday party! Holiday parties are my most favorite type of event to get dressed for, mostly because it’s the time of year when it is A-Ok (and expected!) to go all out and let your Extra Flag fly! I just adore all of the luxe details, the sparkle, and the gorgeous fabrics and colors making the rounds during the holidays. And Holiday party style can mean so much more than red and green! I like to explore different shades of these classic holiday colors, and throw in some golds, creams, textured blacks, and pinks for good measure. Today I thought I would share with you some pieces I’m swooning over for Holiday party dressing this year!

I’m glad you’re back, you look stunning in those holiday dresses. I can’t believe people want more details of your private life, tell them to buzz off lol I hope you and the kids have a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you!
You look beautiful!
So glad you’re back to writing your newsletter. Loved It! Yes! They feel Entitled to your privacy. Lol Best of this holiday season to you and the family. XO
Thank you Glenda xo
Love that tulle skirt but they only have XL left. Sad panda 🙁
Oh bummer! They had so many when I linked, I guess they flew off. I would check back from time to time though they may restock!
Your outfits look dazzling but single women at a couples dinner party or holiday party make other wives nervous.You live in the outer burbs not NYC so most intimate gatherings involve a pair. Your bestie girlfriends will take care of you but the husbands at the gatherings won’t know how to treat you.This may be your time to just nest for the next year. It is a harsh reality especially in a suburban area.Drive there alone, scary,Uber, even scarier, go with a couple, awkward.
First – how is it you speak for all women who “live in the burbs?” I certainly would never ever think this way. Yes, perhaps insecure women with a limited expectation of men OR women might think this way but I believe this is mostly limited to you. I’m very sad that this is even a semi-thought process. Even writing it down didn’t trigger any reflection. Now that is much scarier than taking an Uber solo.
What does this mean? She should stay home because the men of Fairfield county won’t know what to do with a pregnant woman in a dress? Or a woman in general
without a man? Just nest?
How you feel about other women is your problem, not Eva’s. How one’s husband feels around other women is also not Eva’s problem. That’s his problem, and yeah maybe a bit of the spouse’s problem as well. If a husband’s behavior IS a problem for Eva, it is in no way her skirts fault, or her low cut top’s fault, or her fleece turtleneck and slacks’ fault. She should also feel empowered and supported to be able to gracefully remove herself from a situation or speak up about it however she feels is best. If you feel that a way a woman dresses somehow dictates how the rest of society gets to treat her, (ie dressing sexy equals ‘asking for it’) you and your husband included, you should keep your mouth shut unless you’re talking about it with your marriage therapist. Die mad about it.
This is the most absurd thing I’ve ever read. She has to hide away in her house for a YEAR because she’s a single woman in the suburbs now? “Husbands won’t know how to treat her”? All the husbands I know, mine included, would treat her with the respect she deserves as a normal human being.
I find this comment to be disturbing. I feel sorry for you if you have to be nervous for your husband going out in public with, GASP, other women who may or may not be single. A woman has ever right to go out with or without another person, whether they are single or not and it is never their fault if others don’t “know how to treat” them.
Eva you are amazing! Keep killing it!!
Love these looks! Gorgeous!!!!! I haven’t owned a pair of Mary Janes in a few years and I am ready to get a new pair like those J Crew ones! Love it! I want to reply to Pamela and tell her perhaps she should take her insecure post elsewhere but in the spirit of the holidays and spreading love and positivity I am going to refrain from what I truly want to respond with. Keep sharing these gorgeous looks and rocking them all through this pregnancy! ? I am a city girl so single or not If you came to my holiday party I would be more jelly of how I can get your outfit look than anything else! ?
Pamela, you seem to maybe be projecting some of your own insecurities into Eva here. Regarding your first point, I’m a married women with many single girlfriends and I’ve never felt threatened, or nervous, at a holiday party where they were included with our couple friends. I think perhaps if other wives do feel nervous maybe that has more to say about them and their relationship with their spouse than it does the single women, yes? And regarding the safety of attending parties in the ‘burbs…I’m 40 years old and never lived in a big city…and have never been accosted or assaulted driving myself to or from a holiday party. ??♀️ Just like anywhere, one must take precautions to keep oneself safe, but one still has to LIVE.
Also, “the husbands won’t know how to treat you”? Ummm, I’d wager most normal men would treat her as another lovely and kind human being. Or at least my husband would, but he isn’t a caveman, apparently.
Are you saying that couples can’t/shouldn’t have single friends and vice versa or even that people of the opposite sex (whether attached or not) can’t have platonic relationships? If so, this is a truly bizarre and antiquated take in 2019 regardless of location. Not that it matters but I live in Kentucky and am not from a city. But maybe (hopefully) I am misunderstanding your point.
What even is this comment? Why would your husband not know how to treat a single woman? Are single women not allowed to go to parties because other people’s husbands are there? What century are we in? Are single men allowed to go to parties where couples are present? Do you not know how to treat a single man at a party? Is your husband nervous because a single man is at a party with his wife? How are your insecurities other women’s problem?
Wow yea, nothing more embarrassing than being SINGLE. How dare she show her face with her friends. Her friend’s husbands clearly never interact with single women ever so she should definitely be the one to hide herself in shame in her home. -____- get a life Pamela.
This is such an stupid comment! but sadly, when I was divorced I did get this type of attitude FROM MARRIED WOMEN! Like they needed to hide their husbands from me because God forbid I would be the reason their husbands cheated on them! Mind blowing…
