I have a Christmas gauge-o-meter, as in when I ought to get really excited, start X-mas gift shopping and thinking about party outfits and so forth. I only ever get seriously giddy with excitement once it's passed my b'day, so now that we're well and truly past that date I am ready to immerse myself in the fabulousness that is Christmas.
Here are 3 fun & flirty party looks I'm kinda loving at the moment from the Daily Mail; I love everything that's going on here, from make up, hair and the fun factor!
From left to right: Outfit 1:
Dress by Olivia Rubin, £270, House of Fraser Gilet by Biba, £145, House of Fraser Belt by Topshop, £30 Silver Crystal Ring (right.hand), £82 Konplott Necklace, bangles and crystal ring on r.hand all from Dannijo, Net-a-Porter.com Round ring on left hand from Wallis, £12.50 Sandals by Guess, £135
Outfit 2:
Dress by Laura Ashley, £110 Headband by Cherry Chau, £125, Selfridges Belt by Twiggy, £49, Fenwick Necklace, £79, Fenwick Stackable rhinestone rings in gold, £99 black, £75 and silver, £125 all by Amanda Wakeley from Ernest Jones Socks, £19.95 by Max Mara, Fenwick. tights £6 by Marks and Spencer Shoes by Kurt Geiger, £90
Outfit 3:
Dress by Nocturne £320 Blue ring by Konplott, £167 Silver ring, £12.50 & grey silver bangles, £18 for two by Freedom, Topshop Chain and pearl bangle by Allusions, £18, BHS Bag at Russell & Bromley, £165 Tights by Pretty Polly, £4 Sandals by Kurt Geiger, £220
All these looks are very easy to create with a clever mix of accessorizing, layering and hair and make up. To get a messy bun look, see previous post here.
I thought I'd also throw in a 'how-to' video by one of my fave girls, Tanya Burr aka Pixi2woo! Seriously, this girl can do any look, but this is a fun one for going out. You can easily swap out the blue for any mix of colour for the sultry cat eye look or just stick with charcoal tones/black.
