These are some of the things I tend to go for in festive outfits! Just thought I'd share some of the looks that I keep in my inspiration folder for the odd Christmas party. credit: styleheroine.com, vogue.com, zimbio, zara, cosstores.com, pinterest 

Dior and I

05zDIOR2-superJumbo-1050x700I finally got to see Frédéric Tcheng’s 'Dior and I' here in the Netherlands this week and I can say it definitely lived up to my (pretty high) expectations. As I mentioned before it's about Raf Simons’ first haute couture collection as the new artistic director for Christian Dior, back in 2012. And a behind-the-scenes look of the making of ány couture show is exciting to me anyway. But what made this film truly magnificent in my eyes is that, in addition to that, you're álso getting to know the people behind the collection and the emotions that come with that kind of process. It's exciting to watch how this team managed to work together on something so amazing in such a ridiculously short amount of time. All in all, I highly recommend seeing it. credit: diorandimovie.com

Probably my favourite show of the bunch, although it's almost not possible to pick a favourite as I was impressed by most of them, really. Once again I collected some of the looks that stood out for me here. Timeless elegance from Chanel, fantastic prints and layers from Giambattista Valli, contrasts from Dior.. In terms of originality I have to hand it to Viktor & Rolf, though, (as usual) for their "Wearable Art" collection which I thought was clever as well as incredibly beautiful.
