The holidays continue (for those celebrating Hanukkah, at least!), and so do our festive holiday looks! Earlier this week was Part 1 of our #OOTD Holiday Fashion Ideas, and now we're finishing off our list (and checking it twice) with five more looks to complete the countdown to ten. Our first post showed you how to rock everything from animal print to florals, and dresses to onesies, and now we have more fabulous finds to share, so read on below!

Faux Leather

Leather and faux leather is a go-to fabric for the cooler fall and winter months, but usually it's reserved for clothing like jackets and pants. There's no reason why you can't extent the totally badass fabric to dresses, though. We especially love Jovani 88152 to rock a little leatherette for the holidays. This stunner features gold studded detail on the shoulders to bring an extra bit of edge to the look and an eyelet cut-out detail throughout the dress. It's easy to keep dressed down for a night out at a concert or club, or dress it up for a more formal holiday party, such as your office holiday party. Continue reading →

It's time for holiday parties! From work parties to family events to New Year's Eve, picking the perfect outfits will have you feeling confident no matter what the atmosphere. So, stand out in style at all of your holiday parties this year with these 10 so glam outfit ideas that have 'outfit of the day' written all over them.

Animal Print

Animal print is a sure-to way to get a totally chic look, and it's so perfect for the holidays because it's super easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. For a shirt, we love this Sequin Elbow Leopard Sweater, which can be worn in so many different ways. Keep it casual by pairing with jeans, or dress it up by pairing it with black pants or a mini skirt. To get an edgy vibe, just pair this shirt with black leather pants or a mini skirt and black pumps, booties, or combat boots! Continue reading →

If 2014 was anyone's year, it was definitely the year of Taylor Swift! She rocked the year in every way possible, from touring to releasing her new album 1989, which quickly topped the album charts. Tay totally knows when and who to give thanks for all her amazing feats, though - her fans! In November, she made the news when she gifted fans some holiday goodies and stopped by a local Starbucks to take selfies with unsuspecting fans that were in the store. But, that wasn't all Taylor had for her fans this holiday season! She ended 2014 with a gift to let ALL of her fans get a little peak into exactly what she did this holiday season by posting a super cute and touching video!

The video is called "Taylor Swift's Gift Giving of 2014," and the video consists of exactly what it was named - Tay documenting herself wrapping presents for her fans, and then the after math of the fans getting those presents! The description of the video says:

"2014 was the year of many wonderful things for Taylor and her fans.

Shortly after the massively success release of 1989, fans on social media began to experience another phenomenon. After something that became known as #TayLurking, whereupon every detail of a fan's likes, job, whereabouts was studied intently... A single Santa emoji would appear on their socials.

From one Taylor Swift.

...these are their stories."

So, without further ado (or spoilers!), grab a tissue and sit down to watch this epic video of Tay wrapping presents, some words she has for her kittens, and her fans opening them!

Super cute, right?! We definitely teared up a little bit (or a lot). Tay may very well be the sweetest celebrity ever! If this brought a smile to your face, make sure to share with your family and friends!

And, of course, the most important part about getting ready for the new year is putting together that perfect NYE outfit! As you know so well, we love dresses at Rissy Roo's, and New Year's Eve is one of the best possible nights to rock a dress (even though it's cold out).

Happy NYE 2015!!

The 2014 American Country Countdown Awards was held this past Monday night in Nashville, TN, and it was an amazing show! As much as we loved the show, of course our favorite part was watching all the celebrities walking the red carpet in their stunning outfits. The lady celeb looks really amazed us at this awards ceremony! Many of the ladies wore dresses sexy, sparkly dresses that would be so perfect for a new year's eve outfit, so they were definitely inspiring us for the biggest night of the year!

While there were so many looks that we loved, our best dressed of the night goes to Miss America Kira Kazanstev! She wore Tony Bowls TS21452, and it looked so gorgeous on her! This is a jersey short dress with long sleeves and jewel neckline that features a full length back zipper and gold beading. This dress is all about the accenting embroidered sparkles, and we love how they follow all the way down to wrist-grazing sleeves. Plus, the sparkles match her stunning blonde hair in such a perfect way. We loved how she let her hair be an accessory to this dress with her side fishtail braid. Our favorite part about her outfit? How she brought it all together with a touch of bold red on her nails!

From head to toe, this is a perfect outfit to rock for New Year's Eve. All you need to finish off Kira's look is a small black clutch, like Magid E7486 Jeweled Box Clutch, and a pair of black high heels. If you have other formal holiday parties to attend, such as a Christmas party, the long sleeves makes this dress a versatile option for a number of different occasions during the winter months. Kira rocked the dress without stockings, but don't be afraid to wear stockings with this dress for those colder December and January winter nights!
