What to wear when

November 29, 2011

The Christmas period is a time to dazzle in that all important cocktail dress. Kate Bosworth styles the black YSL and white Chanel short dresses with elegance. If you opt for the short cocktail dress, demureness is needed on top. This smart (designer?) black dress exudes sophistication and gives the perfect balance to wow the crowd.

The bright colour is daring

Party Season Dilemmas

November 22, 2011
