]]> The holiday season is upon us, bringing a calendar packed with gatherings that call for a standout wardrobe. From family dinners to glamorous New Year’s Eve parties, there’s no better time to elevate your style.

Here’s a guide to chic, elegant, and cozy looks for every festive occasion, so you can feel effortlessly polished no matter the setting.

1. Classic Elegance for Christmas Dinners

Family gatherings are a time for celebrating togetherness with a touch of sophistication. Opt for pieces that radiate elegance yet are comfortable enough for a night of good food and conversation.

Look Inspiration :

• Velvet Midi Dress : Velvet remains a winter classic. Try a rich forest green or burgundy velvet dress, like those from Self-Portrait or Reiss, which combine warmth and elegance perfectly.

• Tweed and Wool Coordinates : A matching tweed set (think jacket and skirt) from Chanel or Sandro delivers timeless appeal. Pair with knee-high boots for a polished finish. Add a delicate, gold necklace or bold chandelier earrings for a refined edge to any ensemble.

SHOP THE LOOK : A cropped tweed jacket and a tweed skirt from Sandro paired with Zara boots and a gold necklace from Monica Vinader.

Chanel look

Styling Tip : Stick to deep, jewel tones like emerald, navy, and crimson to keep things festive yet sophisticated.

2. Cozy Chic for At-Home Celebrations

Sometimes the best moments happen at home, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up. Embrace relaxed pieces that still feel luxe, perfect for intimate gatherings or virtual holiday hangouts.

Look Inspiration :

• Cashmere Sweater & Satin Skirt : For a chic and comfortable look, style a cozy cashmere sweater (try Chinti & Parker ) with a satin midi skirt from Zara. This combination is soft yet striking.

• Stylish Pajama Sets : A festive, satin pajama set from Olivia von Halle or Uniqlo makes a great choice for staying in style at home. Add a cashmere cardigan and plush slippers for extra coziness.

Olivia von Halle

• Warm, Minimal Accessories : Pair with fuzzy socks or Ugg slippers for maximum comfort, and complete the look with a statement hairband or velvet scrunchie.

Styling Tip : Layer textures like satin and wool for a look that’s effortlessly stylish and indulgently comfortable.

3. Trendy Pieces for Holiday Parties
Whether it’s an office holiday gathering or a get-together with friends, these occasions

are perfect for experimenting with trendy and fun pieces that make a statement.

Look Inspiration :


• Sequin Dress : It’s sequin season ! Look for mini dresses from Rotate or The Attico

that feature sequins and bold colors, like silver, red, purple, or emerald.

• Leather Trousers & Metallic Top : A high-waisted leather pant paired with a metallic blouse or bustier makes for a chic yet edgy holiday look. Brands like Nanushka and Zara have great options.

Styling Tip : Balance eye-catching pieces (like sequins) with simple accessories to keep the outfit looking sophisticated rather than overdone.

4. Formal Glam for New Year’s Eve

When it comes to New Year’s Eve, it’s all about the glam factor. Go bold with opulent fabrics, standout silhouettes, and luxe details that are perfect for ringing in the new year in style.

Look Inspiration :

• Floor-Length Gowns : New Year’s Eve is the time for full glamour. Go for a satin or

embellished gown from Zimmermann or Reformation that hugs in all the right places.

• Sparkling Accessories: Elevate any look with sparkling heels from Jimmy Choo and a matching clutch from Bottega Veneta. Don’t forget the jewelry—stacked bracelets or statement earrings to complete the look.

Styling Tip : Choose metallics, bold reds, or classic black and gold to truly embody the celebratory spirit.

5. Winter Wonderland Outdoor Looks

For holiday markets, winter strolls, or outdoor festivities, think cozy layers that don’t compromise on style.

Look Inspiration :
• Oversized Wool Coats : Invest in a luxurious wool coat from Max Mara or Mango

to stay warm and chic.

• Chunky Knits & Wide-Leg Pants : A cozy turtleneck from Ganni paired with high- waisted, wide-leg trousers adds warmth with a contemporary edge.

• Statement Winter Accessories : Finish with a chunky scarf, leather gloves, and a wool hat. Brands like Burberry and COS have chics options for keeping warm in style.

SHOP THE LOOK

Styling Tip : Mix neutral tones with a pop of color through accessories to keep things vibrant but wearable.

This holiday season, dress to dazzle, whether you’re cozied up at home or celebrating in high style. With these outfits, you’re ready for every occasion the season brings.

]]> As the bells rang, the fireworks exploded and the ball dropped, January 1st, 2020 saw us fizzing with excitement and overflowing with optimism for the year. January 1st, 2021, most of us will be screaming good riddance to the 365-day catastrophe. Although ever frustrating and disappointing, New Year’s Eve 2020 is different: it holds no expectations; no pressure; no guilt; no FOMO; no stress. Wow, isn’t that freeing? With the one rule being only to stay at home as a single household, NYE 2020 need not be as bad as you think.

Browse our vibe guide to see some of the ways you can say good riddance to 2020!    

VIBE: COSY AND COMFORTABLE

After a year as draining as this, we all need a break. Spend the last day of 2020 by pampering yourself and doing exactly what you want. Wear your fluffy socks, light the scented candles, switch on the fairy lights and snuggle up on the sofa with your favourite chunky blanket. With all the build up to Christmas, come the New Year it’s not hard to feel exhausted or, worse, feeling low and anti-climactic. Dedicate the day to nothing but making yourself feel good. Whether this is eating your heart out with sweet treats or binge watching your favourite series, the only tip here is to simply enjoy yourself.

VIBE: CULTURED CUISINE

Go out with a bang this New Year’s Eve and pop open the prosecco, a bottle of pop, or your favourite non-alcoholic alternative! No good celebration is complete without lavish food and bubbling drink. On the final day of the year, forget the calorie count, put on your chef’s hat, and eat like a royal. Spend the day baking, making and indulging your senses: brunch, lunch, dinner, supper and everything in-between. If you’re lucky to live in a household of foodies, why not get adventurous and play dish roulette: each person preparing a dish from a different cuisine or course.           

VIBE: THE ROARING TWENTIES

We all hoped that 2020 would be our contemporary Roaring Twenties, and oh how we were disappointed. It’s only fitting, therefore, that we celebrate the end of year with a Gatsby inspired night: grandiose, glam, glitz. Party the night away and dress to impress: dust off your favourite outfit, swap your slippers for dancing shoes, and spend the evening whirling away from all of your problems. Or, for a truly 2020 take, buy some boujee pyjamas and give our new best friend ‘leisurewear’ an ultra-luxe makeover. As with any Gatsby celebration, a steady flow of drink is a must, so why not use the evening to perfect your cocktail making and experiment with taste! Buy some gorgeous Champagne saucers to accompany your drinks and sip the night away in style.

VIBE: RELAXED AND REFLECTIVE

Take a breath. Allow your mind some space, give it some time to catch up and process the year. The next day is a fresh start: a new year, 12 more shiny months to navigate and make your own. Perhaps spend a few moments writing down some goals for the following year; or perhaps don’t. Perhaps spend a few moments writing down your favourite memories and things which have made you happy in the past year; or perhaps don’t. Despite consumerism telling us the New Year is a time for change and improvement, it is not. Remove that pressure from yourself because, in all honesty, it is not worth it. Take the opportunity instead to give yourself some time and attention and connect with your inner peace.

VIBE: OLD SCHOOL

Turn up the music, turn down the lights and bring out the party food and fizzy pop. Remember when the school disco was the most hyped event on your social calendar? Channel that energy! Let loose just how you used to when you were a child – unapologetically. Once you’ve gotten tired, and the throwback music is giving you a slight headache, sit down, relax and rival your household with classic board games. This year, strip New Year’s Eve back to what it’s all about: partying, fun and celebration.    

VIBE: NOTHING AT ALL…

Beyond a day on the calendar, NYE is just a concept. With the year we have just had, we wouldn’t blame you for not wanting to celebrate. So, forget about NYE, treat it as an ordinary day, and spend it as you normally would. Who cares? It’s only a date!

]]> With 2020 coming to a close and the beginning of a much-anticipated new year on the horizon, we’re eager to celebrate this special occasion in style. And after scouring our socials for appropriately stunning visuals, we’ve put together a collection of softly glamorous looks straight from leading industry professionals to spark your imagination this New Years Eve.

HALO DAZE

This beautiful purple and gold halo eye by Israeli based makeup artist, Ortal Elimeleh hits the top of the list. The talent is unreal—seriously, check out the tutorial—and we can’t think of a more appropriate time to wear this look than to bring in the New Year. 

GET THE LOOK: Applying a black kohl pencil before patting on your shadows will ensure instant depth and longevity to your eye look. Try the Pat McGrath Labs Permagel Ultra Glide Eye Pencil and Mthrshp Mega: Celestial Divinity eyeshadow palette.

PRETTY GLOWING

From the genius behind JLo’s signature glow, it’s no wonder that we turn to celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes for our own glow up. 

GET THE LOOK: To achieve a tailored highlighter for your skin tone, Scott Barnes Cosmetics Glowy and Showy No. 1 has all of the necessary undertones to feel flawless. Drape along cheekbones, temples, and bridge of the nose for the full effect. 

NEGATIVE SPACE

This abstract floating liner brought to us by London based celebrity makeup artist and beauty columnist, Nikki Wolff—also known as @nikki_makeup on Instagram, is simple to achieve yet striking for a New Year look.

GET THE LOOK: For optimum precision, select a super-fine synthetic brush like the My Kit Co 1.22 Pro – My Feliner, and coat it with a smooth gel liner such as what Nikki has used here, the Inglot All the Drama Eyeliner Gel. Keep eyes looking straight ahead when creating your own floating liner—that way, you can easily find the best placement for your eye shape. 

GLOSSY HOUR

Vietnamese makeup artist to the stars, Patrick Ta, has inspired us to embellish our looks with touches of gloss to stay hydrated and sun soaked for our celebrations.

Patrick Ta Beauty

GET THE LOOK: We loved the addition to the eyelids and the effortless application of the Patrick Ta Beauty Limited Edition Major Glow Face Gloss onto the cheekbones and decolletage.

PUNK ROCKER

Leave it to Priscilla Ono—personal makeup artist to Rihanna and global makeup artist for Fenty Beauty—to turn what would otherwise be a festive cliché into a punk rockers dream; the perfect look to say farewell to Christmas and hello to New Years Eve.

GET THE LOOK: The key is in the shading—smoke out the eyes with Fenty Beauty Snapshadows Mix & Match Eyeshadow Palette in Money, and vampify the lips with Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in shades Underdawg and Uncensored.

DUO CHROME DREAMS

This monochromatic look created by Romanian beauty and fashion makeup artist, Malvina Isfan, Is the penultimate excuse to give it all to the eyes on New Year.

GET THE LOOK: Make the most of the dreamy Pat McGrath Labs Mothership VIII: Divine Rose II eyeshadow palette (as used by Malvina) by not only using these shimmering shades for a smoked out effect, but as an ethereal eyeliner and highlighter to boot.

MONOCHROMATIC MAGIC

Romanian graphic designer, makeup artist, and photographer Raluca Elena Mirea, inspires to go monochromatic with this lucky shade of red.

GET THE LOOK: It’s all about colour synchronicity and texture by keeping your undertones and textures matching throughout. Raluca selected the Nabla Ruby Lights Glitter Palette to add sparkle to her eyelids and topped off the Lime Crime Lip Blaze Cream Liquid Lipstick in Mary Jane with a clear high-shine lip gloss. For further inspo, find Raluca on Instagram @rryuukm.

DIAMOND DIVA

Glitter adorned eyes are saved all year round for New Years, created by celebrity MUA Nikki Wolff—just one of the many #SundayTutorial makeovers displayed via her Instagram stories. 

GET THE LOOK: Outline your crease with a black gel liner before blending the edges with MAC Cosmetics Omega eyeshadow, then covering your eyelid and inner corner with rhinestones. Finish off with Nikki’s very own Sweed x Nikki_Makeup No Lash-Lash false lash set along the entire lash line for a full and fluttery finish.
