It's Christmas party season and we don't know about you but any excuse for dress shopping, window or the real thing, is okay with us. Christmas festivities give us the perfect opportunity to indulge in our love of sparkle and glitter so we've made sure to include a couple of glitzy options. However, if you'd rather play it safe with a LBD, the Michael Kors dress from Harvey Nichols (complete with statement shoulder detail) is a brilliant investment buy. Have a look at our picks below... €35 at New Look This is a really pretty piece and at an affordable price too. If your style is feminine, then this piece is sure to please. Pair it with dainty sandals and if you're feeling brave, add a splash of colour with a bold clutch. €80 at River Island If sparkle is your bag, then this glittering mini dress might be what you're looking for. It's a definite statement piece which means you won't need too many accessories to complete this look. Opt for classic black court shoes, big bouncy hair and you're pretty much sorted. €265, Michael Kors at Harvey Nichols We really can't praise the LBD enough as it's one item you're guaranteed to get the wear from. Think about it, if you're really not in the mood to shop for something new then you'll revert back to your wardrobe and a reliable black number. We're particularly mad about this one, the simple cut is complemented by the bling shoulder detail.
