blair flair w// uptown tulips

today's post is a special treat: i'm teaming up with the fabulous bree of uptown tulips for a crazy amazing collaboration! together we're delivering three seasonal style spotlight post style stalking some of our favorite fashionistas to create hot holiday looks, starting with Queen B!

i love this blair outfit, it just screams timeless glamour: her elegant accessories are classic princess pieces while the bold color choice keep the look young && fresh.

For my take, I attempted to channel blair's regal whimsy while keeping it courtney.

 

nothing screams holiday like pink sparkles, except maybe a big giant bow! and luckily, this look has both! i used a bit of layering to bring the sparkle to this bow-tastic dress.

 I finished with sea foam shoes && girlie pearls! the shoe's pop of pastel is very blair, plus it gives me a double dose of bows!

As a guest blogger for Courtney today (eek!), I'll start by introducing myself! I am Bree and am the founder and blogger behing Uptown Tulips. After obsessing over Courtney's Style Spotlight feature, I was inspired to work with her on a few look inspired by our favorite icons. The first one, representing possibly my style icon and the envy of New York, Blair Waldorf, ladies and gents. As the "it girl" of the Upper East Side, Blair knows a thing or two about Christmas balls and fancy parties. I found this little number in a vintage store a few years ago. The cut defies everything that is traditional, straying from Blair's classic side. Besides from the festive shade of green, this dress also A little glitter goes a long way. A lot of glitter goes way farther! The peacoat is a recent purchase and as soon as I got it, I knew it would end up in this post! After all, outerwear is Blair's favorite accessory.

14 days until Christmas! Happy Holidays!
