Christmas is just a few short weeks away. The decorations are up across the city, and festive shopping is in full swing.
December is one of my favourite times of year to dress for. Barring festival season, it's the only time it's acceptable to wear glitter and sequins - so what's not to love about it.
Christmas parties are just around the corner, and New Years Eve will follow shortly after, so for my latest post I wanted to do a round-up of the best looks for the holiday season ahead.
1. Over-the-knee boots
The original over-the-knee boots are the stunning Stuart Weitzman's. Every winter they make a comeback, so are certainly worth the £665 investment. Alternatively, ASOS, River Island, and Kurt Geiger, have some great alternatives.
3. Lace
Lace looks fab all year round, but the best black, dark green, and burgundy pieces start to hit the shops in the winter.
Just about everywhere on the high street has well and truly welcomed the lace trend with open arms this season. Zara, Topshop, Mango, Missguided, and River Island have everything from lace blouses, crop tops, and dresses, to lace jumpsuits and playsuits, so are well worth a visit.
Personal favourites include the black Mango jumpsuit, as well as the green dress, and floral embroidered lace crop - both from my go-to, Topshop.

Over-the-knee boots look amazing in almost every colour, as proven by the likes of Millie Mackintosh, Gigi Hadid, and Olivia Palermo. Black does of course offer the most versatility, but grey and tan suede also look beaut.
2. Embellishment
This is the perfect time of year to dust of your sparkles and sequins, just in time for the party season. If you don't already have any, then now is the time to make the purchase.
From Topshop and River Island, to Missguided and ASOS, most stores on the high street have started to stock up on their finest embellished pieces.
Despite what many may think, sparkles and sequins can be dressed as up or down as you wish. Pair a sequin top with mom jeans for a casual look, or sport an embellished dress with a classic heel, for a smarter evening look - either way you'll be making a stunning statement for the festive season.

4. Florals
Swap your pastel florals, for red, forest green, and burnt orange florals, to achieve a flawless autumn/winter look.
Dark florals are great for occasions such as winter weddings, christenings, or the office Christmas party, as well as for day-to-day wear or a night on the town.
For premium florals, Dolce and Gabbana and Kenzo are great, or for something a little more affordable, check out the usual Topshop, ASOS, and Missguided.
5. Puffer jackets
Stella McCartney showcased a collection full of puffer jackets for autumn/winter 2016 back in March, so as soon as we hit September, everywhere started to get stocked up for the season ahead.
Shortly after, in October, my lovely boyfriend bought me my very own from Topshop, with the most amazing faux fur hood.
Zara and Topshop have the best puffer jackets on the high street - which are perfect for keeping warm this winter.
