Best of 2013

As another year comes to a close and we look back at all the adventures we had, the laughs we shared and the fashion we enjoyed, 2013 definitely goes into the history books as one of the best years ever. This was the year Bouquet of Frocks was born!

Here's a look back at some of our favourite fashion moments of 2013.

                                                                

Midnight Lace

When is lace more appropriate to wear than during the holiday season? We've said it once and we'll say it again, the holidays are for going glam or going home! Maybe don't pull out all the stops at grandma's Christmas dinner and instead, save your stunning lace number for that New Year's Eve party. It's classic, it's pretty, it's 50 kinds of sexy. Just add a dash of sparkle with some jewelry or a chic headband and we're ready to ring in the New Year!

I'm Dreaming of a Sequined Christmas

Holiday season = party season and if you're anything like me, you have a stunning sequin number hanging in the back of your closet that never sees the light of day. Well now's the time to whip it out! If you're hesitant to go full sequin, opt for a sweet sweater with a dash of sparkle like Debbie. And a good rule of thumb when accessorizing is to let the outfit do the twinkling by keeping the shiny jewelry and makeup to a minimum.

We're not just decking the halls...we're decking ourselves with a little bit of glam! Happy Holidays!

On Jackie: F21 dress/Aldo pumps

Gift Guide For Her

Part two of our two-part gift guide features some of the cutest pieces any lady in your life would adore! Get ready to take some notes.



Snowflake Sweater - What better way to get into the spirit than with a classic holiday sweater? Don't be afraid, this isn't your typical tacky, holiday sweater. Make sure to go for something chic and classic like this one from H&M. I'd definitely recommend this for someone in either the Mom or Sister category. $19.95, H&M.

Headbands - Velvet, lace, sequins...headbands can come in all shapes and sizes and ladies, you gotta collect 'em all. Nothing solves a lacklustre do faster than an adorable headband. Bad hair day? What bad hair day? Various prices, Forever 21

Bow Tie Gloves - A chic pair of gloves is one of the best parts about winter. You may be thinking plain black is kind of boring, but throw in a tiny bow tie on the ring finger and swoon! Classy and cute. $20, Aldo

Lancôme Set - Nothing says you care like one of the most popular and coveted mascaras in the world. And what's even better? This enchanting duo set that includes an eye liner as well. 33$ (on sale), The Bay.

Gift Card - There's nothing like giving the gift of guilt-free shopping. If you can't decide, no worries, everyone loves a gift card to their favourite store! Various prices, H&M

Gift Guide For Him

Christmas is only 8 days away and Bouquet of Frocks decided to put together a helpful little gift guide for the special men in you life whether it be a father, brother or lover. It's crunch time, Frockers, and we got your cheat sheet right here!

Slippers: These aren't your grandpa's slippers. They're cool, modern and most importantly, cozy! Just perfect for those cold winter days just lounging on the couch. $50, Simons

Cotton Shirt: Any man with the slightest sense of fashion can never have too many of these button-down shirts. A patterned style is especially chic. What can we say, it's a menswear classic! $17.95, H&M

Cologne Set: Try this Burberry cologne set which includes five of the designer's signature scents. There's a great variety, from sweet to musky, and this is actually the first year Burberry has come out with a mini set. But you gotta hurry, these babies are selling like hot cakes! $42, The Bay

Bow Ties: Ties are cool, but you know what's really chic? A couple of cute bow ties! They aren't just for hipsters, nerds or your 80-year-old grandpa, some men just look better in a bow tie. Trust us. Various prices, Simons

Fun Socks: There aren't always as many ways for men to accessorize as us women. And really it's not fair. You guys are really missing out! But funky socks can really add punch to any outfit. It's basically like having a party on your feet. 2/$6.95, H&M
