One thing we pride ourselves on here at CNKDaily is our commonality. We totally get that being a woman often feels like a full-time job and sometimes, you just need a little help, a little bit of instruction and, ultimately, a way to make your life just a LITTLE bit easier. So, we had an idea to tap into our network to pull knowledge and insight from some of our favorite go-getting ladies for a series of "CNK Guides" designed to educate, empower, and help you compliment your already dope SneakHER Style.

The holidays are upon us and that can equate to more time with family and friends. This also means opportunities to dress up our favorite kicks and flex our seasonal sneakHER styles. The best part about creating a holiday look is that you can be creative while still being comfortable. Many silhouettes are versatile enough that they can transform into fancy footwear with the right dress or pants.

We were excited to link up with Chief Creative Officer of Tailored Moments to set the scene (and jumpstart our holiday spirits), while some of our sneakHER fashionistas in Houston curated fly winter styles. With the theme of “Make it Pop”, Tailored Moments utilized color schemes that incorporated maroon, navy, and mustard yellow. Each lady brought her A-game with diverse ways to remix your party look. Get inspired as you scroll while getting to know some of H-town’s finest AND our Dallas-based EIC.

You may have heard Keisha Nicole over the airwaves of one of Houston’s local hip hop and R&B radio stations, but she puts as much energy into her kicks as she does her mid-morning show. Keisha has a fearless sneakHER style and wasn’t afraid to mix materials for a stunning, bold holiday look. Pairing leather leggings with a velvet multi-colored bodysuit, she opted for a fur coat to bring out the luxe vibes. It was only right that she chose kicks that were fit for a queen. Specifically, the Air Jordan ‘Heiress’ 11s in Night Maroon with gold detailing.

Tausha has always been about her sneakers (as founding member of SneakHER Summit) and comfort is a major key. How many girls do you know that can pair joggers with kicks to create an effortlessly dope holiday vibe? Tausha loves adding softer feminine pieces to compliment her sporty street style. She wore her maroon joggers with a striped maroon/mustard blouse while tying the look together with a classic pair that most consider timeless. A clean pair of ‘Roc-a-Fella’ Nike Air Force 1 Lows.

Helecia is no stranger to vibrant sneakHER styles, and you may remember this stylish Youtuber from our Chick Chat a few months back. Helecia “Lee” is a big proponent of remixing versatile pieces that add a pop to her street style fashion. She slayed our holiday look rockin’ a one shoulder maroon top and striped dress pants. Her accessory game was on 100 as she wore an Off-White industrial belt for some added flair. Lee’s holiday look comes together with her Nike Air Max 97 Ultra in a gym red colorway.

Our EIC and founder of CNKDaily adds beauty and simplicity to her holiday sneakHER style. Being a fan of maximizing her dollar’s worth, Channing chose pieces that you can transition into each season. Her deep maroon wrap dress paired with black tights is as classic and comfortable as her sneakers. With Nike’s Air Force 1 Low being one of the most versatile shoes around, you can’t go wrong (and it pretty much goes with anything shawty).

Wendella is not new to dressing up her sneakers. As the other half of Houston’s SneakHER Summit collective, she brings her fashion-forward expertise to women’s sneaker culture. Why not be extremely comfortable and fly during that holiday party? Wendella rocks a boho chic style with an oversized button up blouse and striped flare bell bottom pants. Her look comes together with the Nike Air Force 1 Jester XX that dropped this year as part of the WMNS ‘Reimagined’ collection.

Did you get inspired to show off your own unique holiday sneakHER styles? Our seasonal shoot had a strong foundation of originality as each lady came with the heat. We can’t wait to see what our CNK Crew is servin’ during the month of December. Make sure to use our hashtags #CNKDAILY and #SNEAKHERSTYLE so we can show you some crew love on Instagram.
