Make the holidays glamorous

This holiday season the halls are decked, how about you?

As if the holiday season isn't stressful enough, with all the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, finishing up exams, visiting family and friends, attending Christmas parties- and of course figuring out what to wear to them; your party attire should be the least of your worries! Need a little inspiration to get yourself on-trend and looking hot for your festive shindig? Look no further - I've broken down a few of the season's most desirable party dresses, perfect for any mood or occasion.

First up is the ever classic, LBD. Smartly shaped little black dresses were all the rage at the Givenchy show, and let's face it, each year it's repopularized. Due to the classic and understated nature of the LBD, it's a style that suits any body type and can be played up with lots of fun accessories. Layer mixed metal chains and chunky jewel embedded necklaces for a little holiday glitter. Sport a pair of lacy tights with architectural heels for an off the runway look. No matter what, you can't go wrong with this versatile purchase; I can assure you it will be a wardrobe staple for years to come!

During the cool winter months we tend to dress in weather conforming subdued tones. With all the twinkling Christmas lights, sparkling ornaments and shimmering gift wrap, why not add some glitz to your holiday getup? For all those fashion savvy readers, sequined dresses are a refreshing substitute for the LBD. Favourable colours such as silver, gold, black and bronze glistened across the runways in an array of silhouettes. As a rule of thumb, when wearing flashy fabrics, keep the rest of your outfit understated- pair it with a dark cropped blazer, a pair of black opaque tights and t-strap heels.

Lace party frocks are an of the moment ode to Victorian fashion that makes for a tremendously glam party look. Romantic lace garments showed up bold and Chantilly in Armani's collection while Derek Lam and Erin Fetherston's play on lace was dramatically gothic. You can find just about anything covered in lace this season in your favourite stores! Whether it's a lace skirt with a neutral underlay or a gothic lace frock, complete your outfit with a sleek patent pump or ankle bootie for a sophisticated, sharp look. Choose a pair of opaque tights and some pretty bangles and a contrasting clutch for that ‘stepped of the cover of Vogue' look.

Tis the season to be stylish-and stylin' you'll be at every holiday party this Christmas!
