'I tried Christmas party dresses from M&S, New Look, Next and Phase Eight - one is a showstopper'

We have just under two weeks until December officially arrives, which means that the festive countdown is on the horizon.Of course, the festive period always brings with a variety of invites to the work's office party to early Christmas drinks with the girls.

If you're anything like me, then that means updating your wardrobe with something fancy for all your occasions. I am sure I am not the only one that likes to use the Christmas period as an excuse to inject some glitz and glamour into her wardrobe.

With sequins, glitter and sumptuous velvets adorning the high street, it is the perfect opportunity to always feel fancy. As a fashion enthusiast and writer, I have been quite impressed to see many of our favourite retailers are offering a range of on-trend outfits this year.

From burgundy dresses to the return of metallic, this year is awash with something for everyone's personal style.Now, since December will probably be a busy month with gift shopping, not all of us will have the time to consider wading through all the frocks on sale.
