Cartier's famous holiday exterior, just to get you in the mood...

Okay, the invitations are out, so next step: planning the outfit. 

Now, no jeans please... that's right it's Christmas Glamour all the way. 

These guys are all ready to go... And ladies, here's a little 'inside info' below 

on holiday party etiquette. Enjoy!

Excerpt taken from Glamour, December Edition, 1956.

Love this glam outfit... we're channelling Cameron Diaz in The Holiday.

Tux for the boys... long and sparkly for the girls.

Always looking the part... Jackie O, lighting her Christmas candles.

Can you just imagine this room filled with black tie dressed guests.... divine!

HIS =  suit + red bow tie = very Christmassy!
HERS = Classic and elegant red dress + black stilettos.

A few platters of scrumptious delicacies, suits for the boys and of course pretty dresses for the girls... and you're set! Love the look of this 50's christmas party.

Or perhaps you need an outfit or an elegant and sophisticated soiree...
Guys, this top hat is brilliant.

Love this simple, sparkly number.

Dressed to the nines and ready to dance the night away.

Now THIS is how every girl should trim the tree.

Even city shopping can call for festive attire... Much more fun and classy don't you think?

These boys are all set... very slick.

Cute pastels and bright flowers. 

So whatever you decide wear this holiday season, let it be sparkly, fabulous and fun! How magical is this divine illustration above? Have a wonderful day filled with hope, joy and love.

Happy weekend my friends!

Friday Fashionista :: { Christmas Plaid }

Well happy Friday my friends! I'm quite beside myself with excitement because we are now just 46 days til Christmas (squeal!) soooo... I thought I would do a little feature on some cute and corny little Christmas outfits, just to get us in the mood. How adorable is this pic above! He he enjoy!! :) xx

Yes yes I know we are almost in summer here in Australia, but in Melbourne the weather is soooooo unpredictable, so you never know, you may just need a few of these items in your Christmas collection! 

How cute are these Hunter Gumboots? What a winner with plaid + pearls. Love.

Classic = navy, red, black & white.

Blankets, stockings and a puppy dog all ready to go!

And just a very, very subtle touch of plaid here... Lol.

Red and cream. What a dream.

Simple green shirt for the boys...

And the Hunters make another appearance in this cute ensemble.

Christmas plaid is most definitely a requirement for choosing a Christmas tree. 

Don't you think?

Cute as a button in sequins.

White jeans with stars + spots. Fresh. 

And now there are no more excuses for "nothing to wear to the Christmas Party" - here are some options above. How fab are these sweaters?! First in best dressed!! Well I hope you have a beautiful weekend... do something fun and adventurous... like wearing something from this blog, or putting up your Christmas tree!! 

Bless you heaps and see you Monday! ;)

love Nat xx

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices.

A very happy Monday to you m'dears! Well, it's currently 64 days until Christmas, (anyone else like me and already excited?) I was reminded yesterday, as the "feeling" came back to me. You know what I mean? That feeling we so know and love, the feeling when Christmas suddenly feels near again; decorations start to appear in the stores, Christmas gift ideas begin to flow through our minds, we start planning little Christmas soirees, and the most important thing of all... we think about celebrating our wonderful Jesus'. It's exciting, it's wonderful, and even though it's still three months away, it brings us a wonderful sense of hope that good things are coming. :)

So what is it, that makes the Christmas season feel so exciting?

Snow?

Pretty lights?

A sleigh full of presents?

Stockings?

Pretty decorations?

A gorgeous Hamptons pool house?

A beautiful table setting? 

Or maybe pretty fairy wings?

Well, while all these things are beautiful, there is something about Christmas that is far more spectacular, creating excitement, life and light... 

Out of all the Christmas songs, this is my favourite lyric: "A thrill of hope, a weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn". What a wonderful truth! I truly believe as we enter this new season that we are going to be filled with a HOPE like never before. And it's not just an "excitement for Christmas", but a long-lasting, deep sense of hope that fills and floods every area of our lives, catapulting us into this next season.

And it begins today. So let us step into this new season of great joy with boldness and excitement!  Have a great day friends :)
