There is truly nothing better than the holidays. You dream of garland, twinkling lights, and snow covering your house (while you're warm inside). Then it gets even better:  bright reds, glittering sequins, big bows, and sleek black satin welcoming you back into your Holiday party wardrobe!

We love all of our collaborations with Cassie Freeman (Hi Sugarplum!) -- we've already teamed up with her three times to create high-quality, affordable versatile collections known best for their mixing and matching possibilities. Well, fourth time's the charm! Introducing the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Holiday Collection inspired by your upcoming festivities and holiday wardrobe dreams!

Along with the Gibson design team, Cassie is extremely hands-on throughout the creation process. She meets with us online, over the phone, and even flies out to LA to work on her pieces with us in-person. She sees everything before, during, and after, and is sure to try everything on. She knows exactly what her readers like, from patterns and cut to cover and fit. We love this about Cassie! And we love how seriously she takes her readers' feedback:  she listens to your thoughts, styles, colors, fit, quality, and price. She takes this feedback and filters it through her incredible eye for color and quality and viola! There's the recipe for this season's holiday magic.

It's a long, detailed, careful design process between Cassie, us at Gibson, and Nordstrom and all of you. In the end, we adore the result. Now let's take a look at the finished collection:

We promised you bright red and big bows, didn’t we? The Noel Bow Back Top couldn’t be more festive or flirty. Pair anything in this collection with a red lip and you’ve got yourself the perfect office party, night out, family photos look.

One word encompasses our inspiration behind this collection: CASSIE- we mean, CLASSY! 

With the ultimate holiday glam in mind, the Confetti V-Neck Tank was born! Paired with the Brigitte Wide Leg Pant and the Leopard Heels, these pieces nail Gibson founder Suzie Turner’s vision for this collection: “Many outfit options within the same collection.”

Of course, Mama Sugarplum came to the shoot and modeled some pieces for us! Faithful Hi Sugarplum readers know how important she is to a fun, successful photoshoot. 

We love this collection and how involved Cassie is with her designs. No detail is too small and absolutely no corners are cut! For more detailed posts about the collection, check them out on her blog, talking sizing, dates, shipping, and inspiration.
