Christmas Fashion Ideas from Emma Newman of Emma’s Boutique

As the dark nights have suddenly crept up on us our thoughts seem to naturally drift towards the Xmas party season. It may be a big night out with the girls, the work Xmas do, or a family get-together, but we always plan our outfits in advance to make sure we are as dazzling as the fairy lights on the tree!

The High Street is now full of cocktail dresses, fabulous embellished tops and sparkly sequin minis (which I adore!). My tip with anything that sits high above the knee is to wear super thick opaque tights to spare your blushes- far better to be demure if you plan on drinking lots of Cosmopolitans! As expected, I tend to keep my outfits simple and focus on my accessories, meaning I can re-use items in my wardrobe or invest in classic pieces. Zara have a fantastic range of shift and cocktail dresses in a huge range of colours – pick out jewel colours such a Ruby and Teal – which can be used as office wear, then ‘jazzed’ up for impromptu cocktails after work. Keep a pair of killer heels under the desk just in case!

The 80s seem to have made another comeback (Why do we all like shoulder pads and birds nest hair so much?!), so expect to see neon, puffball skirts, animal prints and sequins aplenty. Dorothy Perkins have this fab sequin blazer in stock, perfect for teaming with some skinny jeans and heels. If this is sequin overkill (shameless plug alert!), Emma’s Boutique have this lovely sequin clutch in a range of colours (Silver, Purple, Blue and Black). We also love this fab snakeskin clutch. It seems everyone else does too as it’s flying at our ‘I Want It..’ Parties. These mini handbags will continue to be a staple style over the coming seasons, so invest in a style and fabric that has a timeless appeal.

I’m interested to cover topics that are of interest to other fashionistas, so feel free to e-mail me suggestions for my next blog piece- info@emmasboutique.co.uk .
