It’s celebration time. And whether it’s a Christmas or New Year’s party or simply a sensational seasonal event, it’s time to take revenge on the sea of monotony that’s out there and distinguish yourself with style.
Be brave. Clothes are not permanent. They’re inspired and inspirational. They engender daydreams and fantasies, so you’re free to take risks. Be playful, start simple, or not-so-simple, and then embellish your creations with unique accessories that make you stand out.
This year do glamour, rock, feathers and statement collars, maxi skirts and sexy splits, sequin, leather and sparkle. Do it all! Give the mainstream the boot, preferably a spirited and strappy one.
There’s no time to make boring excuses as to why you can’t or won’t dress up. Be interesting, be vibrant, be dynamic – people will stare – let them.
Enjoy

She’s all spunk and class in this outfit. Start by pairing this stunning feather trim blouse that billows as you move with flared trousers. Add a vibrant, pink crop jacket over the top for some spunk. The crocodile green statement jewels really glam up the look. Finish with a heart print bag and chequered heels.

She’s a wild woman who follows her heart and says no to being ordinary. Team a red maxi skirt with a simple black camisole and then really dial up the difference with a spectacular chain and feather cape. Integrate the look with a black bag and sky high platform heels. Stand tall and stand out.

You’re a walking piece of art in this mini dress with its kaleidoscope of colour and mixed embellishments. Add flair with two different but complementary earrings. This is creative and fun. The black sexy boots tone it down while maintaining the edginess. And a colourful feather bag and dance from dusk to dawn.

The bourgeois bohemian is always glammed up and you can’t miss her in her striking gold shimmer and green floor-dragging dress. Add double necklaces in gold and oceanic blue to pick up on the green tones. It’s gold all the way with these stunning mules and metal, cotton and leather hobo bag. What a statement!

Oh yes, she’s dramatic, charismatic, and commands attention wherever she goes. The sensational red carpet black gown with leg gapping split, slinky gloves and statement spikey necklace will make you feel like you’ve just stepped off the movie set of Cruella. And who doesn’t want to be the sensational Cruella? Add daring strap sandals that climb that calves and a sparkly black clutch. Where would you wear this? To your own Christmas party of course, why wait for a gala event to dictate when you can dress up! Seize every moment to be uniquely you.
