Novelty, The Right Way

In that enchanting month of December, Christmas is around the corner and the season of good will brings party invitations that reside inside your inbox calling it home and sheltering from the bleak, cold weather in cyber space.This winter season brings many reasons to dress up, treat yourself or indulge in impeccable present giving. Before New Year, undoubtedly the biggest celebratory night of winter, is obviously the Christmas party soirees. When these invitations to yule tide celebrations arrive, the next step is to focus on wardrobe.
A holiday tradition is that of novelty Christmas attire. Remembering back to my childhood this has always been a dominant fashion factor associated with Christmas. From Macaulay Culkin's jumper in 1990's treasure Home Alone to Colin Firth's reindeer jumper in 2001 christmas/ rom-com Bridget Jones' Diary...A film that gets played to death each Christmas and New Year! Now i ask you a question, are we not tired of novelty jumpers? Clearly not, as Moschino, Stella Mcartney and Meadham Kirchhoff have all produced them this season. But don't you think we deserve better?? YES!!!

Charlotte Olympia has heard our cries like a true angel and answered our prayers, hallelujah. Gorgeous  shoes and petite clutch bags for the fashion savvy who still want to indulge in that guilty pleasure of the novelty. The christmas line features rather cute, inner child like bags, the one that fits the description most has to be that of the Frostie bag, snowman shaped and adorable! I have to also mention the Pudding clutch, yeah you guessed it a christmas pudding clutch, and it looks as yummy as a christmas pudding tastes!

Now let's talk shoes! Theres no escaping or denying the fact the Charlotte Olympia shoes are beautiful and are a lustful item for the modern, young, independent woman, so why in the this party season should you put anything other on your feet? Answer is, you should not be putting anything other on your feet. So if you agree that novelty jumpers have been churned out one to many seasons years and that however pretty and delightful the Charlotte Olympia bags are they may not be as show stopping as you would like then look no further than the collection of heels the brand has to offer. If your a single girl looking for a love or even just a saucy kiss under the mistletoe perhaps the Kiss Me Quick Dolly shoes will send out just the right message?! Or maybe your the person who would love to be the fashion envy of all the party goers; then why not make an entrance and have people hear you coming (Literally, they have bells on....bells!) in the Kiss Me Quick Dolly design. Finally I included my favourite pair of ballerina's from this collection, the Holly flats, whether your a leggy amazonian that doesn't need heels or just want a more casual look, these flats are the way to go.

                                                                                   

So people, please do novelty the right way. Ignore the fad of Rudolph jumpers, even the ever increasing and more alarming/disturbing fashion of 3D jumpers, however if you do come into contact with one, that perhaps Granny knitted, just smile....

Novelty the Charlotte Olympia way is the RIGHT way.
