Tis the season for Christmas parties!

The Christmas party season is just around the corner and I can't wait....I do love a good party and always have a couple of good nights out over the festive season....


Ensure you get a good nights sleep the night before so that you’re nice and refreshed and if you’re flagging during the day try and have a nana nap in the afternoon...

Relax and ensure you have plenty time to get ready....Rushing will make will just make you hot and bothered and make sure you have your outfit planned....

Christmas only comes once a year so holiday parties are worth dressing up for.....Dress to impress! When choosing an outfit for a party always check what kind of event it will be...Dressing for a friend’s get-together is going to be different to dressing for an office function....

Look for Something That Sparkles! If it's a plain dress bling it up with some sparkling accessories....I came up with the perfect outfit from Esprit....You can't go wrong with a little black dress....
 
  Stretch jersey shift dress - £55.00 // Faux suede sandal - £55.00 // Clutch with a decorative front strap - £39.00 // Stretchy bracelet with glittering stones - £15.00 // Geometric element necklace - £15.00 

If you’re planning on wearing your killer shoes to the party wear a pair of pretty fold-up ballet pumps to and from the event....They’re so light and small that they’ll fit in most evening clutches.....

On the day of the event eat a big lunch so that you don’t have an empty stomach when you hit the party....

Know your limits...You obviously want to enjoy yourself but slurring your words and spilling your drink won’t leave the best impression...Pace yourself. If you start to feel drunk sit the next round out and have a glass of water or just go home.

Steer clear of the punch bowl even if it claims to be non-alcoholic.....Punches are notorious for containing a concoction of booze that tastes great but is impossible to measure how much you have actually drunk....

Embarrassing dances should never be performed....The Worm and the Chicken Dance for example and generally anything with too much thrusting. Just take it easy. It’s Christmas, do have a dance but try not to be the only one on the dance floor and do stick to a low altitude (no tables!).

Don’t take pictures of everything and tag everyone on social media....While you might think it is hilarious that so and so is a drunken mess in the corner odds are they won't see the funny side of it in the morning.

Whoever has organised the bash deserves a big thank you....They will certainly appreciate it and if you get it in early enough they might remember it too...

Last but not least....Make sure you get home safely! Try to pre-book a taxi in advance or share a one with friends....If your party is out of town see if it's cheaper to stay at a hotel or stay with friends...

  2. Oh I love a stretch jersey dress - looks glam but lots of room to allow for an extra glass of champers :D
