Sparkle At Christmas

The time to think about Christmas, office parties and glamorous nights out is not far away. Think of key pieces that will keep you sexy and stylish throughout the day and night. As it's the season for shopping, socialising and stress, there's no need to wait until Santa's arrival to get your wardrobe organised. Whatever you've arranged for Christmas, though, it's the perfect time of year to wear something sparkly, so investing in a sequinned top and teaming it with great jeans, high heels, funky belt and classic leather bag will see you through whatever occasion.

Throw on a gilet, sheepskin boots and a chunky scarf for a post-indulgence walk or a sneaky stroll to the pub.Go glam in the evening with a chiffon dress and pearls, then see out the day with a cocktail - or two. Add a feminine touch with this season's elegant silk and satin accessories in berry or mauve colours and confidently step into a fashionable 2005.
