OOTD // ALL WRAPPED UP
So it's only five days until we'll all be huddled around our Christmas tree opening presents and tucking into the best roast dinner of the year! We've given eachother some great gifts in our office Secret Santa and our desks are covered in Christmas cards - we're definitely in the festive spirit!
Christmas is a time for mixing two styles - cosy and glam. It's lovely being all wrapped up in a thick jumper, but what girl can deny her outfit a little sparkle!? This weekend's Outfit Of The Day is all about fashion for the big day - we can't wait to try out this look!
You may have seen our Crystal Snowflake Earrings in our last blog post, but they're just as amazing in the day as they are for a night on the town, plus their classic shape means you'll be wearing them every Christmas for years to come!
Navy is a key colour this season. We love these slightly shiny leggings from Topshop and classic navy Vans slip-ons to match. If you don't want to wear too much dark colour, mix your leggings with a colour popping fur gilet, like the light blue River Island number we've discovered. Complete your festive look with everybody's favourite garment this time of year - a Christmas jumper! We love this white printed sweatshirt from Matalan - a modern, stylish twist on the cheesy jumpers you normally come across (although we do still love a good light up snowman jumper!).
As for beauty, navy and pink go great together (check out our Alexa Navy Jewel Rope Necklace if you don't believe us!), so smack on your trusty pale pink lipstick and opt for precious pearlescent nails for a subtle add of shimmer.
If like your accessories just a little more out there, then you'll absolutely adore our Pearl Back Snowflake Jewel Earrings! With iridescent jewels coating the snowflake shapes at the front, and oversized pearls for backs, these earrings are just a little bit special. And after winter is over, wear them backwards and they'll double up as statement pearl studs!
Don't forget there's still time to enter our BIG giveaway on our social media pages, where you could end up winning several of the pieces mentioned on our blog over the last few months! Just click on the icons on the right to head on over and enter!!

VICTORIA'S SECRET SHOW 2014
The model line up for the next Victoria's Secret show has now officially been revealed! Alongside the Angels (Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosia, Karlie Kloss, etc.), up and coming models such as Imaan Hammam, Devon Windsor and Jourdan Dunn will all take to the catwalk in some of the most amazingly outrageous lingerie you could ever imagine. London plays host to this year's show on December 9th, with the Angels expected to make several special appearances round the city on the days surrounding.
In honour of the recent reveal of the new Fantasy Bras (yes there are TWO this year!), valued at an astonishing $2 million each, we show you our top 5 jewel encrusted pieces to help you add some sparkle to your ensemble this festive season!
PEARL PIECE
White never goes out of season, with it making an appearance at every seasonal show each year. The focus this season is primarily on pearls, and our Ayla White Pearl & Jewel Encrusted Necklace couldn't be any more perfect. With lashings of embellishments, this statement piece is sure to carry you through from season to season for years to come!
MULTICOLOURED MARVEL
If you're a little daring and love to add a burst of colour to your wardrobe, our Stella Colourful Jewel Collar is right up your street! Featuring layers upon layers of jewels in a variety of colours, this necklace is easy to match up with almost any colour and is sure to give your outfit a bit of oomph this season.
EMERALD EMBELLISHMENT
Jewel colours - particularly emerald - are always sure to put you in the festive mood. We adore our Lily Emerald & Pink Jewel Necklace! A bargain at just £14 for such a statement piece, with a chunky gunmetal chain to add a hint of grunge.
ORNAMENTAL ORANGE
Another pearl encrusted piece, our heavily embellished Lydia Jewel Encrusted Collar is super chunky. Plus, with orange expected to be a key colour for SS15, it makes a great transitional piece for all you savvy shoppers! We think it looks great with just a simple white t-shirt to take you from day to night in a flash.
IN THE NAVY
Featured recently in You magazine, our Alexa Navy Jewel Rope Necklace is definitely an HQ favourite! With iridescent jewels and pastel pink beads to soften the darkness, it's both girly and gothic. See our HOW TO STYLE // The Navy Trend blog post to find out how you can easily wear this statement necklace!
We can't wait to see what the Victoria's Secret show has to offer - keep an eye out for our rundown of the show before Christmas!
