So the Silly season is on us and, without doubt, you'll need to be getting your Ab Fab on more than once over the next few weeks. The trick about embracing that festive spirit is to wear colour, sparkles and metallics but to do so without looking like a Christmas tree.
I love this look from Zambesi, above, made from hand-beaded silk and featuring a plunging neckline. The dress is reversible and when styled with the matching choker is a killer look. Whether you are going from head-to-toe or simply adding one piece, these metallic looks from Boohoo, 3, and Andrea Moore, 2, show how it's done. For a more feminine option, this Camilla & Marc dress, 4, is simply divine, and the print on this Liann Bellis dress, 7, reminds me of pohutukawa flowers.
And how fabulous is this look from Gorman, 5, with its bold graphic prints? Play with texture when sticking to one colour like this StyleStalker dress, 1, with mesh inserts and cutouts, and this two-piece look from Salasai, 6. And when all else fails, instead of grabbing your LBD try a little black jumpsuit like this classic taylor piece, 8.
