Festive Dressing

No doubt you've already been to at least one Christmas party, but hopefully you have a few more invites in between now and New Year's Eve.

Here's a round up of 3 party outfits fit for the festive season.

Dress, Charlie Brear, BUY HERE

Earrings, Lulu Frost for J. Crew, BUY HERE

Shoes, Saint Laurent, BUY HERE

We all know that every woman's wardrobe should include a failsafe LBD that makes her look and feel stunning wear after wear. I used this Charlie Brear dress in a photo-shoot recently and instantly fell in love with the pocket and cape detail. If I only had to buy one more black dress this would probably be it. Pair with these delicate crystal earrings and these super sexy heels from Saint Laurent (love the slope at the back, total shoe porn!)

Skirt, £50, Oasis, BUY HERE

Top, £35, Oasis, BUY HERE

Shoes, £58, Topshop, BUY HERE

Ruby Woo Lipstick, £15.50, Mac, BUY HERE

This outfit may look like a dress but it's actually a skirt and top combo. It's this season's modern way to do the LBD. Buy this and you are shopping clever as you could wear the skirt with a cashmere sweater, tights and ankle boots and the top over a white shirt and jeans for daytime. I adore these feather shoes so much so that I've already bought them. Add a slick of Mac's classic red lipstick Ruby Woo and you're ready to hit the dance floor.

Jumpsuit, £135, Whistles, BUY HERE

ZAC Zac Posen from TheOutnet.com, £151.25, BUY HERE

Shoes, Lucy Choi London, £195, BUY HERE

This has certainly been the year of the jumpsuit so I had to include this beautiful lace one in my party dressing round up! Plus it's just gone in the sale so snap it up and wear it for Christmas Day or New Years Eve. This clutch bag is super chic and would work with all the outfits I've selected. And Christmas time is the best time to wear sparkly shoes and these by Lucy Choi London are exquisite.

Merry Christmas!

Fuggly Sliders

I love the current trend for sliders. My boyfriend doesn't understand why I'd want to wear footwear that is slightly wrong looking, but the comfort factor and being able to pick up a pair reasonably cheaply makes me want a shoe cupboard full of them for summer. 

Nike Benassi £16

My collection began with these Nike Benassi's I got a few months ago. I wear them to potter around the home, take them swimming with me and wear with a rolled up jean. Super comfy and cheap as chips.

Zara Sliders £29.99

Continuing the monochrome theme are these little beauties from Zara. They are far more elegant than my Nike's and would work well with a smart trousers or midi skirt for day.

ASOS Fracture Leather Sliders £25

Yellow and grey is one of my favourite colour combinations for interiors and now I can have it for my feet with these bargain buys from ASOS. I love the slightly sporty sole and would wear these with denim shorts and a stripe top on a summer weekend.

Calvin Klein Sliders £80

What's not to love about these sliders? The grey geometric print, the velcro fastening and the excellent price point. These are definitely in my shopping bag.

Givenchy Floral Sliders £545

If I had a money tree I would pluck off some notes and happily spend them on these Givenchy beauties. I've tried them on, they made me smile and I tried to justify buying them in a cost-per-wear way that I normally employ when purchasing a designer bag. Alas, back on the shelf they went. But if you do have a money tree I recommend these with all my slider loving heart.
