Weekly Wrap-Up, Christmas Special 2017

The countdown is on ... there is just over 20 days until Christmas! What to wear? What to buy? It can be a stressful time of year, and for those who need a little royal inspiration for the holidays, I have dedicated this year's final newsletter to the Holiday Season!

WHAT TO WEAR FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS

Need some sartorial ideas for the Holiday Season? Here are some outfit suggestions inspired by the Duchess of Cambridge:

Last Christmas, Kate stepped out in a familiar brown wool coat by Hobbs.  She refined her yuletide look with a luxe faux-fur stole and added a vintage vibe with fringed leather block  heels.

SHOP THE OUTFIT: Coat | Faux Fur Collar | Dress | Earrings | Bag | Shoes

Whatever your traditions at Christmas time it's always nice to pick a stand-out outfit that that will make you feel especially festive. A red dress is a must during the Christmas holidays! Add some statement jewellery for a bit of glitz and glamour.

SHOP THE OUTFIT: Dress | Shoes | Clutch | Earrings | Bracelet

----------

For those of us in the Southern Hemisphere, the "Silly Season" is about the beach and BBQ Christmas parties. The outfit Kate wore to a garden party in Germany would be ideal for any merry occasion Down Under! Get the look for less:
