Christmas is a time when gift guides spring up from all of your favourite brands featuring limited editions, fancier packaging, and versions of your favourite products dipped in gold. If you're not eating something naughty, you're definitely unwrapping something a little bit fancier than you'd typically treat yourself to.
So weather you're treating yourself after a long day Christmas shopping for other people, or thing someone special deserves a little luxury treat, here's a little bit of inspiration for how to spoil someone this Christmas.

The date has been booked into your calendar since mid-October, and that date which seemed ages away is now alarmingly close... Yes, it's Christmas party season! Whilst it's exciting to have a night of fun and frolics with your co-workers to look forward to, there's always the problem of just what should you wear. You don't want to look too done up, but let's face it this is the one night of the year where your colleagues have the opportunity to see you without a dribble of coffee down running down your lip and a palm mark on your chin from where you've been resting on it all day.
So how should you play it? Accessories can be your best friend here to transform yourself from 9-5er to late-nighter. Stick with a basic shape dress in an understated colour (blacks and navys work well) but layer on the glitz with a box clutch (these quirky shapes are everywhere at the minute), some gold wrist wear and your favourite pair of black pumps (the ones you're very practised at dancing the night away in!)
But the one thing you need to top your look off is a flash of red lippy. Charlotte Tilbury is the epitome of classy lip colour at the moment; the formula will last all night so "Red Carpet Red" is well worth the investment.
How are you coping with the Christmas party problem this year?
