Party look n° 2

black sequin dress - leopard double ring - black  shoes - love choker - gold quilted bag - black triangular earrings

 The guidelines for a perfect party outfit for the holiday season are simple. The first rule can be summed up in one word: sparkle. Wear one shiny accessory, it can be a sequin dress or a pair of earrings, just don't overdo, wear one sparkly accessory at once. The second rule is : mind the size of the bag. Many of the social events you will attend during the holiday season will take place during the evening or will be formal occasions so wear a small clutch bag. It has to be like a jewel, tiny and precious.

Marvelous Christmas windows in London

London Christmas windows are a peek into a Christmas fantasy. Dip into these incredible displays and you'll notice who hard is to state which is the most marvelous. Every window is the result of a creative work that goes beyond selling goods, even if that's the goal, these brands created a dreamy vision of Christmas that the viewer will remember. Tiffany didn't make only a doll's house, they reproduced an antire street. Selfridges created a tiny winter landscape with giant reproductions of popular accessories. Harrods display is beyond incredible. It features life size train and each window is a view into compartments, the most luxurious you can imagine. The reproduction is faithful in any tiny detail, in fact looking inside the scene you can see the landscape moving fast inside the train's windows. Those windows are tv screens and it feels as if the train is really traveling.  John Lewis windows are decorated with unusual animals, can you guess what they're made of?

Cats, they just love Christmas or at least Christmas decorations. They have fun climbing up the tree, they take ornaments off and then chase them around the living room. They pretend to be the Godzilla of every nativity reproduction, taking down any little statue. They cheer up our days with their goofiness and adorable silliness. If you just can't have enough of them and want to include them in your Christmas celebrations here's a collection of  Christmas ornaments inspired by cats.
