It’s Party time!
W00 hoo.
Whether it’s Christmas drinks or a New Year’s Eve celebration it’s time to get out of those sweat pants and practical dad sandals ( yes, I am talking to you!) and into something glamorous and festive.

OMG : What to wear…

1. Bow// 2. Thong Heels// 3. Crystal Statement Earrings// 4. Strapless Midi Dress// 5. Gucci Hair Comb/ 6. Gucci Hair Clip// 7. Triangle Clutch// 8. YSL Bag// 9. Gold Bag// 10. Crystal Earrings// 11. Bow Heels/ 12. Crystal Long Earrings// 13. Gold Heels// 14. Ring// 15. Scrunch Cuff// 16. Chain Bracelet// 17. Oyster Earrings// 18. Silver Brooch// 19. Slingback// 20. YSL Quilted Bag// 21. Black Cloud Clutch

It’s easy:
You need black. You need white.
Then mix it up with a sprinkle of metallics and sequins.
Glitter and paillettes were a huge trend on the runways  ( see below).
Meaning?
The trend is here to stay: It’s time to go cray, cray and invest in anything sparkly and shiny.  Nice to know you’ll get more than one season of wear.

You don’t necessarily need a new dress or top – don’t worry I have found some goodies below – just invest in a few sensational standout accessories.

These accessories are not just for Christmas. Perfect all year round. Which means you’re not just buying something that’s a one off; this is investment dressing and excellent cost per wear.

          Styling tips:

  • Stick to minimal classic colours – black, white , navy is always sophisticated – but update them into new modern shapes ( that means an LBD that is LONG,  slouchy pants, tops with big sleeves and jumpsuits.)
  • With black make sure it has texture shine or embellishments: velvet, sequins, leather.
  • Mix up gold and silver : it’s the modern way to dress.
  • But matching a gold bag with gold earrings and cuff ? Totally fine.
  • If you don’t want to buy new shoes just pull out your white summer heels and add major earrings and a clutch bag.
  • With accessories it’s best to keep one single piece the centre of attention. Major earrings or a major necklace. Never both. If you have too much going on it just confuses the eye and it actually waters down the effect. Oh and you look a mess. (You might be feeling a mess but you don’t want to look it !)
    You are not a Christmas tree.
  • When in doubt put on wide white pants – instead of grabbing black pants – so much more modern.
  • I have picked out lots of heels here but a chic metallic flat is totally modern with slouchy pants and halter top: Add sparkle earrings and a silver clutch and it’s low key relaxed dressing.
    Remember keep it simple,  look effortless and FEEL chic !
