Assuming you have already decided what you will be wearing to your Christmas parties  this year, you will need to consider which assessories you will wear to finish the whole look off. Christmas is all about glitz and glamour, but don’t overdo it or you will look like a christmas tree. If you are wearing a simple dress, then you can afford to really go to town with the accessories. If your dress makes a statement on it’s own then choose low key accessories that will compliment it. Here are my favourite party accessories for Christmas 2008.

 

Nina Peter Lame Gloves

The  gloves - gloves are huge this year and are a great way to add style and sophistication to a party dress. Try wearing long black gloves with a black dress for a really elegant look or find some coloured gloves for an individual look.

 

Amethyst and Yellow Quartz Cocktail Rings 

The cocktail ring - This is one of my favourite accessories to wear at Christmas. Choose the biggest and sparkliest that you can find. A great way alternative to a necklace if your dress has a complicated or high neckline.

Jane Shilton Crystal Zip Top Clutch Bag Bronze

Clutch - Another great way to add sparkle to your Christmas party dress. This season the hottest cluches are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. If these micro clutches are not big enough to fit in the essentials, you can always opt for a slightly larger one.

Johnathan Aston 40 denier Opaque Tights

Tights - There are so many tights to choose from and they are a great way to update last years little black dress. Choose from sparkly, patterned and brightly coloured opaques.
