The last couple of Winter’s the knitted dress has had a resurgence but it’s updated for 2022. These easy to throw on dresses can be worn for work, weekend, the school run or out for evening all depending on your footwear. I wear mine with trainers and boots, with bare legs right now and thick black tights in the colder weeks. I love that it keeps me warm when working from home, I can pop on a blazer for work appointments and then a leather biker for evenings out. It’s so versatile you will wonder what you did without one!

Winter
After a crazy busy few weeks of Autumn and then the Christmas run up I think we are all craving the need for a bit of downtime at home around the Christmas tree. Over the past couple of years we have embraced loungewear and PJ dressing due to the pandemic and we have found many ways to utilise our loungewear into daywear by adding knitted jumpers, sequins and trainers to elevate our styling. Loungewear became our daily uniform during lockdown, while working from home was the norm and comfy co-ords were all we wanted to be wearing. Life may be returning to normal now but we're in no way ready to let go of our relaxed new wardrobe essentials.
If you feel like giving your loungewear a refresh for the colder months, then there's never been a better time to shop. So if you have new PJ’s or loungewear on your Christmas list then let me inspire you with these cosy treats.

Every party season, the sequin trend rolls around. But this year more than ever it seems to be the only thing that everyone is pushing for the party dressing. Sequins are everywhere! Whether it be in a dress, skirts, tops or trousers, sequins are now the go-to look for any event. Following on from last year’s lockdown none event the way to wear them is with knitwear, oversized roll necks, cable knits or paired back with denim.
This year I have brought a pair of sequin trousers and will be wearing them with a jumper over the next few weeks and quite possibly on Christmas day too. Already in my wardrobe I have a silver sequin pencil skirt, a silver sequin blazer and a navy blue sequin top which I regularly wear and will never detox from my wardrobe - sequins are for life don’t you know! Be wary when buying sequin clothes, make sure the fabric is good quality, its lined so it doesn’t itch against your skin and the sequins are not too thin otherwise they will break. Follow these tips and there is no reason why a sequin piece of clothing isn’t an investment piece that you will always wear and keep.
See below for my top sequins buys this season.

There are some big question marks over Christmas this year, as office parties and group gatherings aren't on the cards, and the restrictions will make Christmas week look a little different than usual. December is usually a time for back-to-back socialising but after a difficult year, your family and friends bubble will be the most important thing about Christmas for many this year.
Seeing as we won't have parties to dress up for, one thing we can start thinking about is our Christmas Day outfits. Whether you'll be celebrating with Zoom calls or with friends and family at home, the below ensembles will make you feel a little special, whatever you have planned. People have very different ideas about what a Christmas Day outfit should look like. Some dress up in dresses and sequins, while others have a strict "pj's only" policy. Whatever your stance is on the December 25 dress code, I’ve got some outfit inspiration to suit every occasion.
