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
