Vogue UK May 2008 – To Russia with Love
Photography: Mario Testino Model: Natalia Vodianova Fashion Editor: Lucinda Chambers.

I adore the above ‘To Russia with Love’ Vogue UK editorial. The opulence,drop dead glamour,the unapologetic ostentatiousness is utterly delish.

Why don’t you make this your most glamorous holiday season to date? Deck yourself in sumptuous gowns in jewel tones or rich blacks. Throw on decadent luxurious textures such as lace,feathers,velvet,satin,faux fur etc.

Go all out for all your parties,cocktail do’s,balls,dinners etc. Have no where to go? Dress up just because! Need inspiration? Make like the collages below and doll up.
P.S Don’t forget to add the right dose of attitude as the finishing touch!

Cocktails…
