Holiday Hues with Maison Venu

A chat with textile designer and holiday hostess extraordinaire, Olivia Massie...

For the season of celebration we tapped a few of our favorite founders to dish on their merry musts. 

First up, Olivia Massie of Maison Venu

How do you curate a holiday wardrobe that feels festive yet timeless?

*What are some investment pieces or styling tricks that help you feel polished throughout the season?*


I have a few favorite pieces that I reach for year after year for holiday events. I turn to metallics to add a festive nod to my wardrobe, but love that I can wear these pieces for events throughout the winter. A sparkly fitted top is one of my favorites, and pairs perfectly with the Firenze black velvet pant and my metallic Loeffler Randall Fae heels. This season, I am loving a chocolate, navy, and champagne color combo for the holidays. It feels very city-sophisticated, and festive! 

For the Holiday Hostess...


With the season’s rush, self-care often takes a back seat. How do you incorporate wellness into your holiday routine?


I am not the best at this because I tend to over pack my calendar all year round, and the holiday season is a wonderfully busy time for small businesses like mine! I wish I had the perfect answer - but I try to remind myself of the word balance. Plus, a couple of good
nights' sleep doesn’t hurt! This time of year is so special and I really enjoy celebrating with all of the people I love.
