Throughout December, we’ll be shining a light on your festive style. Here’s how Vogue Club member Susana Solari is spending the season—and what she’s gifting her closest friends…
1. What is your favorite festive ritual?
One that I do every festive season—no matter where I may be visiting—is light candles. There’s something about the scent that brings a feeling of warmth, and it also adds a thoughtful touch to really any space or activity.
2. What’s the perfect gift to surprise your closest friend?
This season I picked a Noelle Turtleneck Cashmere Sweater and the Cashmere Travel Set from Naked Cashmere. Also, The Eve Smocked Coupe Cocktail Glasses from CB2 are a must-have to celebrate the end of the year in style!
3. What’s the best gift you have received in recent years?
Last Christmas, my husband surprised me with a Spherical Minaudière Evening Bag from Badgley Mishka. It was the perfect—and final—touch to an outfit I had planned for holiday festivities in Miami!
4. It’s not the festive season without a glamorous party: What item of clothing (or accessory) is sure to make you stand out from the crowd?
An unexpected accessory, like red gloves, are sure to make you stand out! Also, a luscious fabric like velvet (and lots of it) in a one-shoulder jumpsuit with color.
5. Lastly, what’s the one beauty item that speaks to your holiday season allure?
I have a couple of beauty items I use every holiday: Always, always my Coco Chanel body lotion with fragrance—without it, I just don’t feel like myself! Also, red Chanel lipstick—because a girl needs a Rouge Allure Velvet lip for the holiday. And the Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter from Haus Labs is one of my recent favorites—it adds a pop to the eyes and really brings out the entire look!
