Cinderella ...you shall go to the Ball x



So girls as promised I said Id follow up with Evening wear for the New Years Eve ball or Black Tie event, without fail there always seems to be one or the other during the Christmas period. I love New years eve balls its the perfect way to end the Christmas season (plus it saves you having to decide where to go or what to do whether its a house party etc) with events like these it takes away all the hassle deciding on your plans for new years...and with that in mind I've taken the liberty of finding an outfit for you, and reducing all that stress off you, ...cos I'm nice like that :-) So allow me to play fairy godmother and feast your eyes on these amazing dresses xx

Obviously a dress is not complete with out some coverage for the cold winter nights, so if you can avoid it girls try not to wear something that doesn't compliment the dress, pop on a fur collar over your dress, short fur coat (if you want a longer coat go for ankle length as mid length detracts from your overall look) or a cape if you don't like fur
Here's some that wont break the bank!
