So you’ve survived the Racing Carnival, and no doubt seen the decorations in the shopping centres. That can only mean one thing… the year is drawing to a close and – it’s Party Time! Woo hoo!!
The swirl of Party Season can be frenetic and crazy making, and it takes a lot of social stamina to get through the entire palaver in style.
So just how do you maintain the glamour factor this party season? I have found 3 glamorous pieces that will guarantee to have you frolicking in festive fabulousness from now till when Santa arrives. A pash under the mistletoe may not be on your Santa wish list, but you might just get one anyway…
1. ‘Tis the season of the cocktail, the cocktail party – and surprise – the Cocktail Dress! If you haven’t already found this season’s ultimate Little Black Dress – GO SHOPPING NOW!
The LBD is the basis of your killer yuletide wardrobe, so get one. Whichever of the key trends of the season works for you – micro short, underwear as outerwear, ladylike Mad Men 1950s – choose a frock that flatters your body the best and makes you purr with fabulousness. My pick – the Alex Perry black power mesh corset dress.
2. This is the best time of year to bring on the bling! Choose Accessories that dazzle and shine like a fabulous jet-set star atop the tree. Diamante earrings, crystal neck harnesses, jewelled cuffs, huge cocktail rings and all things sparkly… pile them on for festive fun. My pick – Alex Perry for Diva pink feathered earrings.
3. The promise of a good party is measured by the height of the HEELS you wear. So go for gold, or silver, or embellished with jewels, platform, peep toe, straps. I don’t mind really, just make them HIGH! The party season is NOT the time to wear comfortable shoes – if your feet hurt, order another cocktail and hit the dance floor. My pick – Christian Louboutin silver mirror platform peep toes encrusted with silver studs and Swarovski crystals (Kim Kardashian wore them to her 30th birthday recently in Vegas). HOT.
Wishing you all the glamour you can stand for a Very Perry party season!
