The Newbury Street Holiday Stroll kicks off the holidays with cheer and delight in Boston on one of the world’s oldest and prestigious shopping streets. This year, the Stroll takes place on Saturday, December 8th, 2012 from Noon to 4 PM. All of the stores are offering drinks and discounts and the street is filled with live music. Keep in mind that there is a 50% chance of rain on Saturday, but it will be a warmer day with a high of 50 degrees, so no fur coats allowed, but fur vests, yes! (Don’t forget raincoat)! Layer for the rain and bring an umbrella!

4 Outfits To Wear To The Newbury Street Holiday Stroll:
1. Dress With A Leather Jacket
A comfortable dress that you can layer with tights and ballet flats or flat boots will be festive and casual for popping into the shops and sipping champagne. A great leather jacket always makes a dress look edgy! Metallics are huge this season. The easiest way to sport metallic is in an accessory, like a bag or clutch.
Outfit #1: Funktional leather jacket, Muze snake clutch in Grey/Silver, Amanda Uprichard Navy Hillary dress
2. Maxi Skirt With A Tee Shirt And Denim Jacket
A maxi skirt is another great option for walking up and down Newbury Street. A maxi skirt paired with a denim jacket or leather jacket is very chic, when styled à la Rachel Zoe. This Southwestern inspired denim jacket would look great with cowboy boots. Anyone heading to Vail for the holidays?
Outfit #2: Daftbird white T-shirt, Free People Baja denim jacket, Velvet maxi skirt in black, House of Harlow 1960 black leather Station necklace
3. Printed Jeans With A Fur Vest
Printed jeans were on trend throughout 2012 and we will continue to see this trend well into 2013! Brocade printed jeans are so festive for the season. They even look 3 dimensional! Cobalt blue is one of the hottest colors this season and heading into Resort 2013. A fur vest allows the cobalt blue to be the statement color with the luxuriousness of the fur.
Outfit #3: Amanda Uprichard Everyday Blouse in Royal Blue, Seven for all Mankind brocade skinny jeans, House of Harlow 1960 Sunburst Pendant Necklace, Sonya Renee Drusy Pendant Necklace, 525 America Fur Vest in White
4. Add Winter White
Winter white is always gorgeous this time of year! A nude bag with the white is an absolute favorite. This striped, white sweater with embellished crew neckline can be worn with dark colored skinny jeans or with shorts and tights. You can even layer with a fur vest or a car length coat.
Outfit #4: Madison Marcus Stripe Sweater with Rhinestones, Urban Expressions Bernadette Cluth in Beige, Seven for all Mankind Plum Slim Illusion Jeans, House of Harlow Aztec Bangles
