It’s all about style this November. If all you want to do is hibernate, we’re giving you inspiration for a bedroom revamp. We have clothing must-haves to keep you warm and stylish this winter.
There’s also nothing like a new outfit to help get you into the festive spirit, and we’ve got everything you need to create looks that are perfect for the party season ahead. It’s never great to leave occasion shopping to the last minute (that’s our excuse) plus many stores have Black Friday sales!
Step Into The New Season
When it comes to updating your wardrobe all you need are a few new pieces to refresh your look and breathe life into your existing wardrobe. Karen Peters-Amphlett, Personal Stylist at Style by KPA, gives us her top three picks this winter:
- If you’re looking for a new coat to see you through the colder months then you can’t go wrong with a quilted jacket. Have a look at the selection in Sports Direct. There are so many different styles in the shops at the moment, you can go with any colour, from khaki to bright blue. Remember to choose a length that works for you.
- Boots this year are chunkier than ever! Think Chelsea boots with thick soles – there are plenty of options, from ankle boots to knee highs. Wear now with skirts and dresses, or tuck your jeans or leggings in as the weather gets colder. Clarks has a great selection of boots.
- Nothing screams winter like a chunky knit. This year it’s all about stripes. Go for a classic Breton stripe with navy on cream, or try the reverse with cream on navy. They look great teamed with jeans and leather, or if you’re feeling brave and want to go for a print clash, stripes look amazing with leopard print too. Check out Rose Petals.
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This
With the clocks in wintertime, our beds are calling us! November is a great time for a bedroom revamp. Transform winter nights into cosy ones by:
- Creating warmth and brightness to any space with lighting.
- Keeping extra warm by adding a couple of throws in different colours and textures.
- Shopping for soft blankets and scatter cushions. Just like winter clothing, layering is key! Take a look at the new Pep & Co home range at Poundland.
- ‘Dressing the bed’. Have fun mixing patterns, textures and finishes. Silks, wool and velvets make for a solid winter collection.
- Adding a touch of hotel luxury. Stimulate your senses with reed diffusers and select scents that are uplifting and calming. Lavender and chamomile promote deep sleep. Have a look in Savers.
Stand Out In The Gold
This Christmas and New Year we might get to party in person! Occasionwear is back – think sequin dresses, six-inch heels and clutch bags. The best part? You can keep said outfit and wear it again for NYE – a party dress isn’t just for Christmas!
From metallic to sequin, there’s plenty of choice in the shops to carry you through the festive season in style. Take a look at the boutique store Rose Petals in the centre. We love show-stopping sparkle dresses. Alternatively, go sleek with a long evening dress for the ultimate Red Carpet look. Jumpsuits are a great option if you’re spending some of the night outside. Visit Taylor’s Boutique.
With a focus on sustainability, visiting Marie Curie might just present that vintage lace dress, meaning the chances of you wearing the same as Kate in HR is less of a possibility! For a timeless classic, recycle a cocktail dress by dressing it up with gold heels and a clutch bag from OK BAGS.
Strut into the party season in statement heels or comfortable flats adorned with jewels. Remember if you have that favourite pair of heels that need repairing, just pop into Timpson at the centre and they will be as good as new in no time!
Dance the night away in dazzling style and top off your look with sparkling gold accessories. You’ll be the star of the show and stand out in the Gold!
