How to Dress for the Christmas Party
If a girl can't camp it up a bit at Christmas when can she, asks the fashion writer Camilla Morton.
1st things 1st-Live a Little! When dressing for a party, remember it's your time to shine. It's the only time you can go completely out of control and no one will ask, 'Why are you wearing a feather boa?'
Dress for your shape
If a dress is too tight or a colour doesn't look good on you, change what you're wearing. Otherwise you'll feel miserable for the whole night.
From day to evening
You could start the day in leggings and a tunic, but then put on a pair of heels, a big piece of jewellery and a fake fur gilet and - you're ready to sparkle.
An LBD with a twist
The little black dress is a party staple, but try wearing it with one piece that really stands out, such as a pair of bright red gloves or a printed cardigan.
The right tights
This year it's all about the miniskirt, but be careful about the high heel-to-hem length ratio. Always wear a pair of opaque, black tights if you're going for a short skirt - it looks more classy and is good for cold weather.
A word about shoes
Whatever the weather, wear high heels. Sure, if there's five inches of snow outside you should reconsider, but putting on a pair of heels is the quickest way to glam up an outfit.
Diamante is a girl's best friend
Always keep a pair of diamond or diamanté studs handy. If anyone takes a photo of you in an artificially lit room, the reflection off the stones will slice your cheekbone and uplight you, which gives your face a freshewiness

How to Care for Your Luxe Suede
Suede. A rich material, but is"high maintenance" when it comes to keeping it looking fresh and clean. Keeping your suede garments in like fab condition requires a good amount of care. Follow these tips and you'll be able to minimize your maintenance:
Preservation starts with prevention
Start by treating your garment with a suede protection spray prior to wearing for the first time. A light coating of protectant assists with protecting your garment from small amounts of moisture and stains.
The second stage of protection is proper storage. When not wearing them, be sure to keep your suede garments in a dark, dry, cool place with adequate airflow and low humidity. Light and moisture are enemies of suede; the former fades your material. In addition, be sure not to store your suede garment in plastic, as the lack of airflow plastic creates will trap moisture inside with you garment, and promote growth of mildew on it's surface.

Perform regular maintenanceFor suede, this means carefully soaking out moisture mishaps with a clean towel, and letting the garment dry naturally. Using a hair dryer or other heat source will likely cause irreparable damage to your garment, so take your time.
For stains which have set in, purchase a suede bar/eraser and gently rub the affected area. For dirt stains, purchase a suede brush and gently brush away the dirt and dust particles. If stained with oil, apply talcum powder to the affected area ASAP, let dry for 6-8 hours, then brush away with a suede brush. Due to the persistence of oil stains, you may need to repeat this process a few times.
Even if your garment has no stains, regularly brush it with your suede brush, and gently rub with a fine grit sandpaper to restore nap.
Elements to avoid
As suede is so temperamental, there are a variety of substances which are best to avoid to keep your suede garments from being ruined, including:
Liquids, rain, snow, oils, aerosols, grease, dirt, and virtually any other substance which may soak, stick to, or stain your suede garment.
When all else fails, consult a professional
