Party special

If you are a true party lady and attend all the glamourous gatherings on your social calendar, chances are that at some point you will find yourself not knowing what to wear. And this happens because we always try to wear something new, fresh and unique. Even if it’s a little black dress every time, it has to at least be a new one. Like it or not, we can’t all be Anna dello Russo. She pulls of outfits directly from the catwalk, is one step ahead and never wears a thing twice. But then again, she doesn’t have anything else to do but think of the next crazy dress to get. 

You can be unique in a more subtle way and focus on details rather than whole outfits to illustrate the latest trends. And that’s where a strong personal style comes in. Look at Paloma Faith, for example. She has a signature look: her hats.

You will not see her at a party without some extravaganza going on about her head. Or Anne Hathaway’s fairytale dresses.

It might not be so in your face but it definitely is there and makes her stand from the crowd. So why not spend some time thinking of certain looks, accessories or pieces that represent you and make you feel really confident and go along those lines when composing a new party outfit. And this applies to all the upcoming Christmas and New Year’s parties as well. Don’t just wear something red or something glittery. Take something you love and you’ve always loved wearing and twist it around a particular theme. I for one am not very found of colours. I’ve just always loved and always will love black. But I also do love red lipstick. And that’s Christmasy enough, don’t you agree?
