From repeated Christmas carols in grocery stores to over-the-top decorations in malls - we love it all. That being said, our favourite thing about this time of the year is obviously getting all dolled up in snazzy dresses and eye-catching pumps.<\/p> <p>Once the first door of our beauty advent calendar has been opened, our fashion focus shifts to one-of-a-kind heels and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/serial-shopper\/christmas-party-dresses-20-of-the-best-5729.html#post-5729\">unique cocktail dresses<\/a>. However - with too much sparkle we can sometimes end up looking like a Christmas tree - and not in a good way. So here are some of our tips for chic-dressing, all season long:<\/p> <h2> <span>Location, location, location<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Although obvious - when putting together your holiday outfit, it is essential to keep the location in mind. Whether you're celebrating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/travel\/destination-accomplished\/cinq-plages-dexception-aux-maldives-41999.html#post-41999\">beach-side<\/a> or at a hotel - let the venue determine how casual, or fancy you have to dress.<\/p> <h2> <span>Think colour<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Christmas is usually about sparkling whites and crimson reds - but rules were made to be broken, right? This year, instead of wearing the same old festive colours, why not opt for something a little different? Cobalt blues and blush blinks are <em>the<\/em> colours to wear right now.<\/p> <h2> <span>Accessorise!<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Whatever colour you decide to wear, add a little 'oomph' to your outfit by throwing in a pair of metallic heels, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/check-out-our-favourite-picks-from-the-fashion-world-just-for-you\/get-creative-good-company-necklaces-52367.html#post-52367\">a statement necklace<\/a> or a cute fascinator.<\/p> <h2> <span>All that glitters<\/span> <\/h2> <p>Pull out all the stops by coveting a beautiful sequinned dress. But remember, because the outfit is very\u00a0bold - keep the rest understated. Plain pumps minimal jewellery, and neat makeup!<\/p> <h2> <span>Nude knockout<\/span> <\/h2> <p>If all else fails - opt for a champagne-toned frock in lieu of little black dress. Flattering, sophisticated\u00a0and totally festive - rock this trend and you'll be one step closer to dawning <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/fashion\/check-out-our-favourite-picks-from-the-fashion-world-just-for-you\/our-beauty-looks-preferes-de-cannes-chiara-ferragni-22781.html#post-22781\">Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's<\/a> glamourous aura.<\/p> <p>From glitzy gowns to chic sweaters, sparkly tops and party heels; here are our picks of everything-festive to rock on Christmas day.<\/p> <p><em>Shannon Gallagher<\/em><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It's that time of year again - from dazzling party dresses to sparkly heels - check out our favourite outfit inspirations for this holiday season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":172,"featured_media":58416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Still stressing about to what to wear for your Christmas party?
