When it comes to glamorous dressing I feel like we should go all out this December. From ballrooms and star gazing to cocktail parties and concerts there surely has never been a more fitting moment to enjoy what you wear than right now. Be it diamonds, velvet slippers, a dramatic hat or a red lip nothing should be off limits as we celebrate the end as well as the most sparkling season of the year. Therefore, I have put my most fabulous foot forward and created a series of beauty and fashion looks inspired by the most glamorous places, people and items under glittering
December stars...
"We were privileged to attend three glorious court functions. For the first, a great ball of three thousand guests which was given at the Winter Palace. Milly Sutherland and I donned our finest dresses. Mine of white satin was drapped in lines of classic simplicity and a tulle train held by a belt of real diamonds. (...) At Winter Palace the stairs were adorned by magnificent display of gold plate fixed to the walls. There were hundreds of footmen in scarlet liveries and Cossack guards in flowing robes who gave an impression of barbaric splendour. In the great ballroom innumerable chandeliers threw a glittering radiance on the handsome men and graceful women assembed there... With the entrance of the Imperial family to the inspiring air of Russian anthem - (...) - the ball took on the aspect of a fairy tale."
