Top 5 Christmas dresses

It's Christmas party season and you don't want to end up in the same outfit as the annoying girl from the office down the corridor. It's time to be original, go for something a little bit different and not stick to the norm or end up in a Next special. Here's my top ten Christmas dresses with a twist...

Mango - Velvet & Metallic dress £69.99

This is sumptuous and showcases the two of the hot trends of the season - velvet and sequins. It looks a lot more expensive than it is and looks great with a pearl cuff and killer heels. 

Miss Selfridge Power Shoulder dress - £65

Make like a modern Dynasty power bitch in this attention-grabbing number. The sequin top with pointed shoulder detail and long sequin sleeves is a great contrast to the fitted black skirt. Just be careful who you spike with your power shoulders!

Warehouse feather hem dress £80

This eye catching number exudes luxury. The chiffon top panel melts into the fitted velvet bodice. The show stopper is the marabou feather swing skirt which is certain to turn heads! It's in the sale as well!

Topshop studded dress £95

For a more affordable version of Balmain's hot dresses this year, go for this number which has exquisite detail and is beautifully symmetrical.

Karen Millen lace printed pleat dress - £175

The colour of the season, with the added bonus of lace and pleat detail. I love the sheer sleeves and the placement of the lace detail.

Whatever you choose to wear - be daring and be different! Don't conform!
