Party time - Party dresses! Christmas, New year's Eve and office parties.

The party season is about to start...well at least the shops are displaying Christmas and party stuff .

With the festive season come the parties, and whether it's a family party, a dinner party with friends, an office or company party and so on, we all be sparing more than a few thoughts on what to wear.

With an eaye on the wallet and the other on the trends here there are some party options for you: from sequins to glitters, from lace to shiny fabrics, it's all about texture, sparkle and elegance!

Styling tips:

- Decide if the focus of the outfit is the dress or not and accessorise it accordingly.

If the dress is simple, treat it as a white canvas and give it a character with shoes and earrings.

-Shoes: choose shoes that elongate your figure; high heel or platforms, in a nude colour or a colour that matches your stockings if you are wearing some.

-Earrings: taken for granted that you are kind of wearing your hair up, earrings are a great tool to give light to your face and enhance your make up.

Choose earring that have studs, glitters, pearls and  a touch long so to frame your face.

Il periodo dei party sta per iniziare...beh per lo meno i negozi gia' hanno messo in esposizione le cose di Natle e per le feste. Con le feste arrivano anche i party, e che sia una festa in famiglia, una cena con gli amici, una festa in ufficio o azienda e cosi' via, tutti daremo piu' di un pensiero a cosa indossare.

Con un occhio al portafoglio e l'altro ai trend, ecco alcune opzioni: dalle paillettes ai glitter, dal pizzo a  tessuti lucidi, si tratta di texture, scintillio ed eleganza!

Consigli di styling:

- Decidi qual'e il focus dell'outfit, se sra' il vestito o meno, e accessorialo di conseguenza.

Se il vestito e' semplice, consideralo come una tela bianca e dagli una personalita' con scarpe ed orecchini.

- Scarpe: scegli un modello che slanci la tua figura: tacchi o platform in color nudo o dello stesso colore delle calze se decidi di indossarle.

-Orecchini: dando per scontato che tirerai su i capelli, gli orecchini sono uno strumento strepitoso per dare luce al viso e far risaltare il make-up.

Scegline un paio che abbiano del glitter, degli strass o perle e abbastanza lunghi da incorniciarti il viso.

Getting Spooky

Edited by Taylor Davies







As style bloggers, we relish the daily task of getting dressed. It's kind of our thing, right? Once a year though, everybody gets in on the fun - and then takes it to a whole other level. Of course I'm talking about Halloween. That crazy holiday that causes adults to act like children and children to dress up like adults. As a 20-something, Halloween can be a far cry from the trick-or-treating days of our youth - but one element will always stay with me: we get to pretend to be someone else. Instead of dressing to best express who we really are, we get to dress to appear to be someone completely different.
