Party Accessories
Most of the time is the accessory that complements the whole outfit. Just a new bag or pair of shoes can revamp a look without spending too much, especially during this time of the year when parties are coming and most of the time you can find yourself together with the same people and you want to show that you are wearing something different. I've picked few items but really outside there is so much more.
I love this purple box clutch with embellished details, by M&S Collection for Marks and Spencer. It is made of satin with a detachable chain strap and it is available also in black. It is lined with an internal slip pocket and metal frame. www.marksandspencer.com
Wear a pair of shoes like these Ivana stiletto sandals by Gina Shoes and you will feel fabulous. Made of satin with leather sole and insole, they are decorated with marabou feathers and Swarovski crystals on the 10 cm stiletto heels. Available in Ochre, Indian Rose and Black, these shoes are an investment that you will wear them forever either with denim or a formal dress. www.gina.com
For this season Ravel has created a Swarovski collection adorning its shoes and bags with the famous Austrian crystals. Sandals and ankle boots as well as pumps and court shoes are available with matching clutch bag. The ankle boots and the court shoes are made of suede, while the sandals and the pumps are made of satin. The clutch is made of velvet with a chain strap. www.ravel.co.uk
Sparkle with these Eline navy velvet platform sandals by L.K.Bennett. Platform and the 5 cm block heels are covered in glitter while the upper in plush navy velvet as well as the strap is adorned by a sparkly buckle. www.lkbennett.com
It reminds me of a block of malachite this resin box clutch bag by Jigsaw. It has a magnetic closure and detachable chain strap. I love box clutches because your essentials won't put the bag out of shape. The clutch is lined and quite roomy for storing a mobile, cards and lipstick, just what you need for a night out. www.jigsaw-online.com
Worthy of a disco queen this pair of gold sequin boots by Peacocks. They are calf length, with pointed toe, a conic heel and zip fastening. Great with leggings or stretchy trousers or a mini dress for that Studio 54 vibe. www.peacocks.co.uk
Red is one of the most popular colours when thinking of Christmas and this season Phase Eight has brought the Juliet Jewel slingback court shoes and the Juliet Jewel clutch bag in red claret velvet. The shoes have got a 5 cm kitten heel with a brooch like crystal detail on the front. The same detail is on the top of the clutch acting as a clasp. The set is extremely popular, get it before it's gone. www.phase-eight.com
Box clutches are very popular this season and many retailers entered this trend. Karen Millen has merged two popular trends in one, with this leopard patterned box clutch. This lovely little number is gem embellished with a pattern that forms the popular animal print, there is a detachable chain strap and it is available in green as well with the same motif. Also you can add the matching shoes. Leopard print is going to be big next season as well so it is worthy to invest for something that you will use again and again. www.karenmillen.com
This collaboration between Faith and Star by Julien Macdonald is exclusive at Debenhams. Nothing is more festive than a pair of red glitter stiletto shoes with a 10 cm metallic gold heel. The shape flatters the foot and the pointed toe makes the it slim. www.debenhams.com
If the Christmas party is more a dance thing than a formal occasion, this sequin bumbag at Primark is perfect because you will free to dance without minding your bag and this lovely number is roomy enough to contains all your essentials. www.primark.com
You can dance the night away and feel fine with the Next Forever Comfort Point Court Shoes in Black/Ombre Purple glitter. The heel is 10.5 cm high but the wide fit will keep your feet comfortable even wearing the shoes for long periods of time. www.next.co.uk
It is sparkly rainbow when you want plenty of colour and it is silver if you want to match it easier with your outfit. It is by Simply Be the Reversible Sequin Shoulder bag with a chain strap but I am sure your favourite side will be the rainbow striped sequins one. www.simplybe.co.uk
