"Staying home usually means comfort first, and the beauty of a cashmere jumpsuit is that there is no need to compromise on that philosophy. Simply add statement shoes and gold accessories. For me, that includes the Valentino logo belt I bought as a treat for myself this time last year. It really is the gift that keeps on giving."

"Bold accessories have always been my go-to for adding instant polish to pared-back pieces. For a playful take on the festive theme, l'Il be wearing bauble earrings and a divine heart-shaped knuckleduster. The beauty of adopting a more-is-more approach is that even if you're in a T-shirt and jeans, you'll still sparkle - inside and out!"

"Throwing on a jewel-toned dress, like this gorgeous number from Batsheva, is my most reliable mood-boosting strategy.

"If you only do one thing, add a velvet bow to your hair. Regular readers willknow that I am a little obsessed with the humble bow = it's a small touch thatgoes a long way. This gorgeous clip is from our exclusive collection with Future ICONS brand Marzoline. It comes in the prettiest midnight blue, classic black and rich burgundy, and any one of them is a beautiful touch."

"When it comes to adding glamour to a holiday look, swiping on a matte, red lip is the finishing festive touch that makes all the difference. In my book, the bolder the better. When you catch your reflection, the pop of colour is an instant mood boost and makes you feel dressed up... even if you're not."

"I've set myself a silly festive challenge, and it makes me so happy that I thought I would share it. It's to pull out dresses that I cherish, but haven't had the opportunity to wear this year - including this gorgeous frock that my husband gave me for my birthday - and to wear them around the house with bare feet between now and New Year's. Will I look a little over the top? Maybe. Will I love every minute of it? Absolutely. This is the perfect moment to truly enjoy the treasures you own."
