Don your gay apparel. <strong>Feathers, flowers, foils, bows, sequins, and shine!<\/strong> Ladies, do you feel me? It\u2019s time for cocktail circuit attire. Who will wait for us under the mistletoe? I&#8217;m betting on a 4-inch platform heel and a sequin 60&#8217;s mini dress. &#8216;Tis the season to deck the halls. I have a feeling some creatures will be stirring and I&#8217;m not talking about mice! Dressing for evening is a whole new ball game this season. Luckily, The Point shopping offers new takes on soiree classics from head-to-toe sequins (give it a go) to the urban tuxedo jacket (sans pants) with a beaded vintage bag, extra long chain included.<\/p>\n<p>Cheeky furs abound: If you missed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/fashionFaire-1.php\">Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire<\/a>, which I co-produce, don&#8217;t despair. You can find plenty at the Point. Go for vintage coats sporting leopard print to foxy furs. Topcoats with fur trim are all the rage. These toppers can&#8217;t be topped. While you&#8217;re at it, why not add a leopard print muff to keep your mitts warm?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_123\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-123\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/everybody-holiday-season-us-time-buy-color-soul-organic-healing-t-shirts-usa-soft-organic-cotton-dyed-colorful-eco-friendly-dyes-cms-shirts-great-affordable-gifts-holidays-colors-mens-wome\/attachment\/dsc_2346\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-123\" class=\"size-large wp-image-123       \" title=\"Leopard print muff\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DSC_2346-680x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DSC_2346-680x1024.jpg 680w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DSC_2346-99x150.jpg 99w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DSC_2346-199x300.jpg 199w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/DSC_2346.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sandra Michaan with a leopard print muff-Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_124\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-124\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/everybody-holiday-season-us-time-buy-color-soul-organic-healing-t-shirts-usa-soft-organic-cotton-dyed-colorful-eco-friendly-dyes-cms-shirts-great-affordable-gifts-holidays-colors-mens-wome\/attachment\/images\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-124\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124\" title=\"Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/images.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"204\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/images.jpeg 204w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/images-123x150.jpg 123w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 204px) 100vw, 204px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-124\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Audrey Hepburn&#39;s Tiara<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Get Swept Away: Tendrils tethered with tiaras are the perfect crowning achievement fit for a princess.

It just takes confidence and style. Be the belle of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>All of the head adornments gracing the fashion runways this season could not top the simplicity and accessibility of the barrette. It\u2019s a way to dress up your look in a snap (literally).
