The collection feels very true to Lee’s style and includes a variety of ready-to-wear pieces. From a velvet suit to a classic sparkly mini dress perfect for any dance floor or New Year’s celebration, there’s something for every event on your calendar this season.

Although this is a holiday collection and it’s filled with festive materials like velvets, silks and sequins, the pieces are versatile enough to incorporate into your daily wardrobe (and trust us — they’re so cute you’ll want to wear them way more than once!). Lee shares some styling tips and shows us how to wear them after the holiday season, below.
The Blazer
“This was inspired by a vintage piece that I bought in Austin three years ago,” says Lee. She suggests pairing it with denim and a tee for a chic daytime look, or throwing it over your shoulder with a slip dress for a night out. “Throwing it over the shoulder really changes the feel of it,” adds Lee.

“Every holiday collection should have a statement! This is our hero piece,” says Lee. Inspired by the sharp-shouldered looks of the ’80s, “this piece is an evening showstopper,” she adds.
