How to Find the Perfect Christmas Season Party Shoes
Guest post by by Jamie Simpson
Every woman knows that the right pair of shoes can make or break an outfit. This is especially true for Christmas parties. Women must dress to impress as there are bound to be countless old friends and acquaintances in attendance. And let’s face it, we want other women to envy our style.
There are several factors to keep in mind when selecting a pair of shoes for a holiday party. The first thing to consider is the time of day. Is the party to take place during the day or in the evening? A daytime party is often less formal and may not require the same calibre of attire as would an evening party.

Stunning Silk Scarves and Shawls for the Office Christmas Party
Guest post by by Julie Ann Amos
The office Christmas party must surely have been responsible over the years for more damaged and destroyed reputations than any single other event. Maybe it is all those emotions which have been pent up throughout the course of the year and simply have to be expressed before the New Year comes over the horizon, or perhaps it is simply the only opportunity to be entertained at the company’s expense in the course of each twelve months, but whichever is the case, all too often it sees ordinarily respectable individuals acting totally out of character.
In many cases, it is a combination of things which lead people to cross boundaries which would normally stay firmly in place. Alcohol, or rather too much alcohol, undoubtedly has much to answer for in terms of provoking inappropriate behavior, and probably the mere informality of the whole event causes many to forget themselves. Ultimately though, office Christmas parties frequently cause people to disgrace themselves by their actions, as well as by the way that they look.
