Write in and tell us what you’re hoping for this Christmas…
Yep so now the weather’s gone cold, your head is pretty much either covered up with a snuggy woollen beret, a stylish retro trilby, or a duffel hood. We’re talking practicality here folks, but you do find yourself wondering when on earth you are going to get the chance to wear your newest snazziest hair accessories.
The answer to this is Xmas parties of course! We thought we’d get in there early and find for you the latest and most gorgeous of hair accessories including the vintage trend for fascinator wearing. Get in before they’re gone!
First up, if you want to make an extremely glam entrance to your Xmas party, then team up a satin strapless figure hugging pencil dress and killer high heels with this beautiful fascinator from Orphelia on Etsy:
BLACK MINI TOP HAT WITH RED AND BLACK FEATHERS $49 USD
Liveln Style also on Etsy says that this feather headband creation is perfect for Summer, well we think it’s even more perfect for the winter party season and if you go in for a little 60s shift minidress chic in black and white, then this accessory will be a real head turner!:
Audrey by Livelyn Style on Etsy $19 USD
Only want something small and elegant to adorn your crown and make someone special want to move in closer for a better look? Anything is possible with these cute bobby pins by Very Vintage at folksy:

Finally to conclude our forray into what’s hot in the world of party hair accessorising, we have a wonderfully delicate beaded flower design headband from Sheabay on Etsy:
Forget your Ugg boots for five minutes this Autumn/Winter as the latest trend for wearing gorgeous patterned lacy tights hits our high streets! I know it’s hard to leave your old comfy babies in the cupboard but this trend is for glamming it up, not slouching it down!
Black lace tights are the main aspect of this trend but clever teaming of coloured tights with complimenting coloured high heeled suede ankle boots and mini structure-cut dresses make a pretty smart fashion combination.
Here’s our roundup of the main must have tights around:
Emilio Cavallini Lace at Asos, £19
Decorative Leafy Lace Tights from Lipsy, Was £9.00...NOW £4.00
Floral Design Lace Tights from Matalan, £3
