Fashion: Holiday Dresses

Do you always wait until the last minute to start thinking about holiday dresses? I know I do! Say it with me: This year, I vow to not wait until the last minute to decide what I'm wearing to a holiday party or, more importantly, on New Years! 

I've been eye-balling ShopBop every day and I think I've narrowed it down to my six favorite dresses for the holiday season. Each one has a certain simplicity that I love but with a touch a glam and glitz. Well, except for the Parker Art Deco Beaded Dress which is full on glitzy, dont you think!? Thoughts!?
