Put up a shimmering disco ball a glam disco party to usher 2010 in. Have fun gaining outfit inspiration for glam honeys from the Studio 54 era like Jerry Hall,Bianca Jagger and Grace Jones. The dress code is glamour . See the New Year in dancing to 70′s hits by Gloria Gaynor,Earth Wind & Fire,Diana Ross and The Jacksons.

I love a chic garden party and one by moonlight is even more fun. Bedeck your garden(or a friends!) with lanterns(try home depo and craft for cheap but chic paper ones) and strewn lights. Use mismatched china for a charming intimate feel. Serve cake, tarlets, winter fruits,dainty home made sandwiches, a variety of teas and mulled wines. Make your dess code all things chic. Stella McCartneys darling sequin dress suits that bill perfectly!

Dress code? Broadway elegance. Be inspired by famous flapper Zelda Sayre or the fabulous Josephine Baker. Shimmy into a drop waist dress, multi tier strands of pearls and make like a smouldering flapper and host a 1920′s themed affair. Curl your hair,wear a gorgeous faux fur or a bejewelled cloche hat. Get you guests dancing to Jazz and nibbling on easy to make canapes.

Whatever you do, why don’t you make it your most memorable New Years Eve to date?

Kisses,
Marian.

From Russia with splendor…

Monday, December 21st, 2009


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!
