I’ve never cared much for Christmas — aside from a really long vacation from school or work, I never really got the fuss. In fact, I’d more than happy to ignore this holiday and just get wasted, eat Chinese food and catch the premiere of The Iron Lady. However, in the spirit of the season, I came across a few items that struck my fancy and would make even my Grinch’s heart grow marginally larger.

Great style transcends space and time. From a 19th century Indian colonel in head-to-toe tartan to a 70s supermodel in bright yellow plaid, significant fashion statements will always circle back around. Elizabeth Walker explores this trend phenomenon through historic photographs in her gorgeously-done coffee table staple Style Book: Fashionable Inspirations (Flammarion 2011). If you’re ever wondering how to wear that menswear-inspired suit, vintage fur shawl or those sky-high platforms, let style icons like Diane Keaton, Elton John and Sue Coddington be your guides.

While Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen‘s The Row is earning rave reviews in the world of high fashion, their Elizabeth and James line offers a chic and tasteful option at a slightly more affordable price point. Obviously, if I had a cool two grand lying around I’d be in a The Row cardigan right now, but at least I can save up a few hundred for one of their sumptuous rabbit fur coats. Click through for some of the highlights from the collection!

Looking at the Emanuel Ungaro Fall 2011 collection, a repeat of leather collars with metal accents was the first indication that designer Giles Deacon was listening when Ungaro notoriously said, “I dress mistresses, not wives.” Sheer garments adorned with Lesage embroideries were rich and risqué while hemlines skimmed the tops of thighs. Body-conscious garments came down the runway in various forms like leather cocktail dresses, velvet suits and teeny tiny colorful silk dresses. The shoes were sweet yet sharp, in a rainbow of colors easily interchangeable among the looks. It won’t take long for these mistresses’ clothes to end up on the floor, as there is little to remove and barely anything left to the imagination. But I could see many a young fashionista work these dresses and jumpsuits into more avant-garde forms, mixing them with heavier fabrics and softer hair.

It doesn’t get much richer than this. Stylist Hafize Celikturk chose jumpsuits, tailored outerwear and ornate shifts in handsome neutrals and opulent jewel tones for models Ioanna Ntenti & Nadia Serlidou in this spread from the March 2011 issue of Elle Turkey. Big and gorgeous short hair and red lips rounded out the beauty for this editorial photographed by Koray Birand.
