　　there’ll be mistletoe hanging around, you’ve got to look your best.

　　it’s party season, and though nigella lawson might be able to effortlessly carry off hosting a beautiful, candlelit, parmesan shaved party, it’s all a big fakie really. she has a tv crew to help out, is really good at rustling up a feast, and has the time to prepare in advance, luxuries many of us must live without. i always like to be the hostess with the slightly harsh streak. ‘come to my party! it’s going to be amazing, and i can’t wait to see you! but bring your favourite drinks and food and music, and if you don’t, then….don’t come! see you then!’ it minimises the work front and leaves maximum time for home decoration and self-beautification. sometimes you have to sacrifice your guest’s comfort to be truly fabulous.

　　the truly fabulous hostess has a jaw-dropping little christmas number. some of this season’s finest include the golden snowflake dress from brit designers dahlia. these ladies know how to craft a dress into christmas bling at its finest. that said, i feel like i want to accessorise it with roller-skates for some reason. perhaps some from here. totally unique look.
