Yay! Christmas is almost upon us, but before the big day there's the party season to enjoy!

It's the time of year where we all work hard, trying to get things all wrapped up (no pun intended!) before the holidays begin, and play hard in the evenings at office parties, Christmas tweetups and all sorts of social events!

So you've probably bought your party dress by now, but if you haven't, I can't recommend the Ultimate Black Dress from Sacha Drake highly enough, one dress which can be worn in over 20 ways! Of course the best way to update a current dress is to accessorise, and you'll find lot's of pretty party clutches in the Bag Department, my favourite is the Ginger Reversible Clutch from Saben, two bags for the price of one, pure genius! If you'd like to see it in action you can watch a short video starring Ginger here!

Then there's the tricky situation of keeping your strapless, backless, slip of a dress in place! Never fear! Floozy your fairy godmother is here to spare your blushes, check out the magnificent range of Fashion First Aid, for when a bra just isn't going to work!

I'd really love it if you could share tips of how you keep your "sparkle" in the festive season, simply post a comment below. To get you started here's mine! "Replace your morning cup of tea or coffee with hot lemon and grated ginger or dandelion tea, both are great for flushing out your system if you've partied hard the night before!"
