Make-up Mondays: MAC Glamour Daze Holiday Colour

MAC GLAMOUR DAZE HOLIDAY 2012 COLLECTION

With the holidays approaching fast, there are so many things we're looking forward to - Christmas lights & decorations, hot cocoa with mini marshmallows, our littles faces on Christmas morning, the first snow fall, wrapping up in a warm blanket next to the fire with the hubs, and of course, holiday makeup collections.

H&M's Fashion Family Collection

Have you found it difficult to find coordinating holiday outfits for the whole family? Well look no further - this past Monday, October 22nd, H&M launched the Fashion Family Collection that will satisfy all of your families fashion coordinating needs in one store! This new collection embraces coordinated dressing for parents and kids, without compromising individual style.

For us Moms it’s about looking chic and feeling fab in graphic textured jackets with skinny trousers or patterned minis. This collection will have you prepared for a fall outting or for date night with a collarless jacket over a fitted textured dress, paired with a matching clutch, oversized rhinestone bracelet, and the essential black sunglasses. Our little girls will compliment us in light pink satin dresses, graphic textured jackets, and faux leather flats. Like Mother, like Daughter, right?

Don't worry H&M didn't forget about the guys. Dads will look good in a sleek black suit, zip-up leather jacket and soft knit sweater. And for those brisk autumn evenings - a knit beanie, or a washed linen scarf. Your sons will look just as sharp as dad in elbow-patch sweaters, long-sleeve tees, a black fedora and matching sunglasses. The men in your life will look like Rockstars!

We are in love with this collection! Head to H&M to update your families fall wardrobes today!
