Ok girls….and possibly guys, you have probably been anticipating this one, what to wear for Christmas, you may have an office party attend or  maybe a friend is throwing a Chrissy party!!

Most people want to make the effort to look extra glam, you are somewhat limited in what you can wear in the office, so this is the opportunity to show off what you’re working with.

Yet again the highstreet has absolutely spoiled us with the vast array of shimmery glittery and glitzy Christmas dresses. There are dresses to suit every type of figure and we are going to put some outfits together for you to give you some ideas and inspiration.

Just a little notice…LG doesn’t do safe and predictable, we’ve intentionally picked dresses that are out there and attention grabbing…you’re not going to fnd a plain cocktail dress…we want to bring out your inner diva, every girl has one, so here we go: 

The Show Stopper.

CAUTION: This outifit should only be worn by people who love having all eyes on them!!

Lipsy £59

This is the kind of outft that gets attention whether you want it or not, it is absolutely drop dead gorgeous, if you have been invited to a Christmas dinner party and you’re looking for something to make you stand out, look no further because this is it! As you can see it looks just as gorge at the back as it does at the front.

This is how to show flesh tastefully, this black little number is Oh so gorgeous and we particularly love the fact that if you took away the joining in the middle the top and bottom could be worn individually with something else.

So what kind of shoes would go with this amazing christmas party dress we hear you ask!! well…

The shoes were going to have to be as out there as the dress now weren’t they. The stilleto heel and the platform sole is a stunning combination and the glitter is what every Christmas party dress requires.

If you’d prefer to inject a bit more colour into the ensemble then go for these bright blue peep toes by River Island £60, this will make the outfit pop even more if that is possible and really compliment the dress. A simple black/blue diamante clutch like this one £25 from River Island finishes off the look.

The Elegant Beauty.

Wow look at this one shoulder pencil dress, for all you elegant beauties out there that prefer not to have a lot on show, this is £85 from Asos and this to die for plum colour really compliments any skin tone. The asymetric style is very slimming and it has a small neat split at the back. This dress also comes in ivory.

To finish this look these gorgeous black peep toe sling backs are perfecto, the gold platform detail is beautiful and the snake skin heel detail is even more beautiful!! If you choose to go for the ivory dress these shoes will still go perfectly.

 The Firey Fox.

 This red Rare dress with cut out shoulders is for you fireyladies, a short flowey dress with a rounded neckline, short sleeve and a gorgeous cut-out detail to the shoulder. This again is a dress that doesn’t require much or any accessories.

These £60 Serenity black jewel heels from Miss Selfridge compliment the dress and finish the look of perfectly.

Here at LG we like to think of ourselves as a sort of Fairy Godmother to those of our readers who are on a mission to find love. Particularly those of you who are dating, going on a date is nerve racking enough without having to worry about tipping over in your impossibly high heels, or constantly having to pull your bra strap up.

So we have put together the perfect date night outfits just for you – don’t we spoil you? Three different outfits designed around three different date scenarios. From clothing and shoes to accessorise and makeup, we’ve got you covered:

City Date.

If your date is taking you to a nice restaurant or a classy bar or for some dancing afterwards then this is the kind of outfit for you:

This dress screams glamour, it is definitely a head turner that will make you stand out from the crowd, and this dress is the perfect example of getting dressed up without over doing. The black sequins makes it more than just a little black dress, and the one shoulder gives it that edge that sets it apart from every other dress. If you have a boyish figure this dress will bring out curves you never new you had and if you are already curvy it will definitely accentuate those curves.

 Lipsy Dress £55.

Sticking to the black theme these gorgeous pair of New look T-bar block heels are perfect, apart from the fact that they are in trend and compliment the dress, the chunky heels provides extra comfort which means you can stand, walk and dance in them for ages without your feet aching. Everybody knows that New Look are one of THE best on the highstreet for fashionable affordable shoes and these are no exception at only £24.99

Right so you have seen the whole outfit, and you already know that the bag has to be as hot as the shoes and dress….Thank God for River Island. This black lace ball clutch is ORGASMIC!! Very compact and strictly for essentials.

Ok so we need to inject some colour into this outfit, and the colour is going to come in the form of a sexy red lipstick, this draws so much attention to your face and especially lips, because the rest of the outfit is so out there you should have a neutral face so that your lips can really pop. A simple winged liquid liner will make your eyes stand out, try to exaggerate the flick more than you usually would to rally get the cat like look.

LG loves MaC Lipstick in Russian Red £13 for a rich red colour that lasts all night!!

Well, if you don’t have a date, no problem. You can sign up to UK Singles Dating site and find yourself a date, you then have a good reason to wear the dress

So it’s too cold to go out bare legged, but we still want to wear our shorts, minis and dresses, so what can be done about this, the answer friends – tights!! You can dramatically change the look of an outfit just by throwing on a par of tights

Now they don’t have to be plain old tights, believe it or not they serve more purpose than just keeping you warm, the look hot too, they come in so many rockable designs, here are a few of LG’S faves.

This sexy pair of tights can be worn during the day, dressed down with some denim shorts, or can be worn as lingerie. We love how sheer they are and how the burlesque feel the give off!! The mock suspender style means you can have suspenders without all the fiddly clips and at just £14 there is no way it’s not becoming a new addition to LG’s wardrobe.

WOAH…..These traffic stopping tights scream, stop stare and have a good look at me, they are bold, loud and can instantly glam up any outfit. Definitely good for sexying up a sparkly metallic skirt or a black body con skirt. These 20 denier tights are extremely sheer, so be careful because they can easily rip and at £32 that’s the last thing you want.

You know how annoying it is when you pull up your tights and then get a big ladder in them, or walk past something that puts a ladder through your tights and you can wear them anymore. Well these tights have the sort of ladders you’ll actually like, clever and humorous and bloody sexy all at the same time!! Who knew tights could have so much personality. £12

Everybody knows that stars are in right now, whether it be tattoos, jewellery or tights, these tights are bang on trend and can be dressed down for daytime and back up for night. These superstar tights are £15

All these gorgeous tights are from mytights.com, and there are plenty more like the ones we’ve picked up. For all sorts of different occasions and looks!!

So winter is finally upon us and it is that time when we swap our sandals and open toe heels for the comfort and beauty of boots. They keep our tootsies warm and snug and make us look fab, what’s not to love about the humble boot. There are so many different types of boots; here is a little break down of what you should consider when shopping for your next pair:

Flats: Flat boots that have basically no heel are mainly built for comfort, they don’t strain your feet, they are extremely warm on the inside and they usually come in tan, brown and black. Wear your flat boots on a casual day when you are just shopping, popping out for a coffee or perhaps taking your children out, because they are so comfortable you  will have no problem walking around in them all day.

Wear with: Skinny jeans or leggings and always tucked in.

 Ankle boots: These are more suited for the office; they come in various different heel heights from flat, to kitten heel right through to your 5 incher.  If you’d prefer to wear a heel for work then make sure you ankle boot has a solid chunky heel, you do want a thin heel, it won’t support you as well and teetering around on your toes will  crush them and strain the soles of your feet. Ankle heels are best suited to bootleg cut trousers; the trousers should definitely cover the top of the boot.  Ankle boots can be worn casually, but are especially great for work.

Wear with: Bootleg trousers, knee length office skirt with tights.

 Mid-length/knee high boots: These gorgeous style boots come in array of different styles, buckles, belts and buttons turn it from a simple boot to a show stopper. They come in different textures, suede another office fave, leather won’t let in an ounce of cold iand patent if you are in that extra fabulous mood. You can pretty much wear these tall boots with anything tuck your fave jeans or patterned leggings with a plain tee for a casual look. An office dress with coloured tights and your smart knee high boots definitely spells office chic.

Wear with: Dress and tights for a smarter look, jeans tucked in for tht casual feel.

 One of the best things about boots, is that if well looked after they actually last a long time, invest in a quality pair of boots and there is no reason why you should be wearing the same next winter.
