How to feel fabulous all festive season...
Whether it’s the work party, drinks with your favourite neighbours, Christmas Day hosting duties or a relaxed turkey curry on Boxing Day, the rapidly approaching festive season is filled with opportunities to dress up, sparkle and enjoy. But it can also bring nervousness, with the endless need to look and feel your best, often while needing to cook, run errands and cope with all the busy that Christmas has to throw at us!
In case you’re not quite feeling ready to shine, our Lead Stylist, Jo, has rounded up her favourite failsafe festive outfits to get you through the key events of December. She can’t make that family dinner with the difficult relative go away, but she can at least give you an amazing outfit to enjoy while you endure it!
The ultimate Christmas day hosting outfit!
