Christmas Dresses xo

Christmas is very nearly upon us! Less than a month to go!

I've been scouring the High Street to find the perfect black Christmas dresses to get you through the festive season!





MISS SELFRIDGE - BLACK FISHTAIL BODYCON DRESS £37
This dress is floor length and full of elegance! This black dress has a statement silver zip at the back with a beautiful sheer fishtail at the bottom - this dress can also be dressed up or left simple. However I would suggest that the dress is more of a cocktail/evening dress as it is floor length!








ZARA - FAUX LEATHER FRILL DRESS £50
Leather is still a winter must and this cute dress is plain black with a faux leather frill at the bottom. I love the simplicity of this dress as you can dress it up or down for whatever the occasion. You can pop a chunky necklace with this dress for evening glamour and even add black opaques if its a little chilly! Team this dress with a plain black heel or even a pop of colour to brighten everyones day! Plus the dress is very reasonably priced as you can get away with wearing it on many occasions! 




FRENCH CONNECTION - MOONRAY SEQUIN DRESS £150
This dress is at the pricier end of the scale however this is due to the dress being covered in sequins - a Christmas classic! The dress has black sequins down both sides to create a fab slimming effect, the dress comes to around mid thigh however they do sell a longer version too! This dress is THE Christmas dress as it just screams festive!





NET A PORTER - ROBERTO CAVALLI PLEATED TIER SILK CHIFFON DRESS £2395
This dress is certainly at the pricier end of the scale! But it is a beautiful one off piece that will have everyone talking! The dress is ruffle heaven made up of three different materials the ruffles give the dress the classic look yet still looking up to date. This one is certainly on my wish list!

Top 5 Hair Products You Need To Own!

So with the party season approaching our hair needs to be looking its best!

I have put together my top 5 hair products that are not only amazing but affordable!

1) Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Massive Mousse

This is a personal favourite of mine and I use it every time I wash and blow dry my hair - unlike many other volume mousses this one ACTUALLY works! Plus it smells amazing!
To use you simple shake the can well and put a little or a lot - depending on hairstyle into your hands and then put it onto damp hair then blow dry!
Top tip - I like to squirt it straight onto my hairbrush as I feel I get better coverage 

2) Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Backcomb In A Bottle

Every girls needs a 'daily' and a 'special occasion' hairspray. Now my 'special occasion' hairspray is this one which I happen to love on a night out as I feel it holds really well and just like the mousse smells amazing

3) L'Oreal Elnett Satin Very Volume Extra Strength Hairspray

This hairspray would be my 'daily' hairspray as it comes in a massive can and holds very well however it doesn't hold for as long as Umberto which is why I recommend it as a daily one. The smell isn't anything special and if you spray too much can leave a nasty taste in your mouth!

4) VO5 Treat Me Right Rinse Out Deep Conditioning Treatment

I like to use this on my hair every one to two weeks as it keeps it in great condition and revives it from heat such as hair dryers and straighteners. Just comb through your hair when you are in the shower or bath and leave for 3-4 minutes and then wash out - simple as that!

5) Ojon Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy

This is the most expensive product on my list at £30 from Boots however it really does work! Although it may seem a little pricey it certainly isn't to be used daily and therefore I think you can get away with indulgence! There are also many other oil treatments available for a lot less that do the same thing!
