Just In: Under the Mistletoe with Our Holiday 2011 photoshoot

One of the best things about the holiday season is the preparation — obsessing over how to decorate your favorite outfit (or tree) with the perfect accessories. No one knows this better than the creative geniuses at the COVETEUR, a divine fashion site that specializes in sharing the personal spaces of style’s chicest names. That’s precisely why we invited their crew to document our holiday photo shoot. Get ready to fall in love.
