Its December again! And for most of us its party month. Weekends are packed with family gatherings, class reunions and (of course) Christmas gift-shopping.

What to wear is a common worry when were required to go from one event to the next.  I know I start organizing my closet as early as November, making my brightest, most glittery outfits the most accessible. I also start setting aside shoes and accessories that go with it, not only to ensure I get to use them but to know whether I need to go out and get a certain style to match my holiday outfits.

As I found out, I needed an accessory update! My favorite pairs of shoes from early this year didn’t translate well with my “party attire”. And I guess a new purse, belt and bracelet wouldn’t hurt as they can help glam up my outfits.

So I headed over to Charles & Keith to get my accessory fix. What I found were a lot of gorgeous texture: snakeskin, bright satins, patent leathers and suedes. Check out my favorites from the store.

These pointed heels will look amazing with pants. I really love the black one with the snakeskin strip in the middle—so chic! (P1999)

More snakeskin, this time on these adorable square totes. (P2199)

I was thinking more of an everyday work bag. At least these can be used well into next year. (P2499)

I loooove sparkly flats! These mary jane ones are so cute—in silver and gold! (P1599)

Holiday wedges! These are so stylish worn with a loose top and skinny jeans. (P2299)

I adore the vintage feel of these purses—and they have snakeskin detail too! (P2399)

More snakeskin! I may be obsessed. I want all of these! (only P2199 each pair)

These leather patent totes can be chic enough to go from office to dinner and drinks. (P3199)

I really love the combination of grey and tan! This overnight bag (hello, quick holiday getaway) is so cute! (P2699)

Another snakeskin tote! Yes, apparently you can never have enough snakeskin this season. (P2699)

These two I saw were on sale! They look so Christmas party-ready, don’t you think?

These look super sexy! I like! (P2950)

These may be the perfect holiday wedges! (P2199)

Patent boots are this season’s must-haves! (P2499)

Another holiday shoe trend: metal cap toe pumps! (P1799)

Orange and red—so pretty together! The flap has a stingray texture! (P2199)

These make the prettiest gifts! Or you can pile these on too to give your look an update.

The best time to go for color is now! Love these satin multi-colored pumps. (P1799)
