I can't believe I'm saying this, but the holidays are officially creeping up. The invites are already rolling in for holiday dinners, work parties, and festive nights out, and naturally, my first thought was: What on earth am I going to wear? Every occasion-ready outfit in my closet has already had its moment, so I've been on the hunt for something fresh—pieces that feel festive but still have that cool, fashion-forward edge. While browsing Bloomingdale's, I stumbled upon its Holiday Party Shop, and I couldn't have made a better discovery. The lineup features some of my favorite designers and has everything from jaw-dropping floor-length dresses to fun, festive, sparkly looks. It's safe to say my holiday wardrobe is about to get a major upgrade. Here are the looks currently sitting at the top of my wish list.
Alice+Olivia
Alice+Olivia always brings the drama in the best way. The Nova Deep V Neck Jumpsuit ($695) instantly caught my eye—it's bold, elegant, and unlike anything else in my closet. I can already tell it's one of those pieces that would make me feel unstoppable the moment I put it on.
L'Agence
L'Agence has no shortage of statement pieces this season. The dresses are total showstoppers—practically guaranteed to make you the best-dressed guest at any event—while the expertly tailored pants are made for those nights when you want to look polished but not overdone.
Cinq à Sept
Red is one of my favorite colors to wear during the holidays, and these dresses prove why. The rich red accents feel vibrant and elevated—the perfect mix for any holiday occasion.
Staud
The silhouettes here are next-level—each one feels unique, elegant, and designed to turn heads in the best way. Whether it's a sleek strapless moment or a flowy maxi dress, these pieces have that signature Staud sophistication that always feels fresh and chic.
Veronica Beard
Veronica Beard has a way of making pieces that feel classic but still cool. The silk and knit dresses are easy standouts, and the sparkly top is perfect to pair with denim or leather pants for a night out this holiday season.
