This week we’ll be continuing our Christmas theme of festive fashion.  If you’re going out for Christmas dinner then you need a smart look that can withstand the winter weather. These styles all feature in our party wear sale so you can get a bit of a bargain too!

when it comes to tops it’s well worth going for a tunic or short dress that can be worn with slim jeans or leggings. That way you can keep your cuffs dry in a pair of winter boots!

This Arlene Phillips mock wrap jersey top is a flattering and comfortable style that is fantastic for Christmas day. It’s reduced by £10.50 in our sale. Our Arlene Phillips fashion collection has been fabulously popular, so snap up these savings. Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

This Anna Scholz sequin tunic is a great alternative if you want something with a bit of extra sparkle! The gorgeous sequin panel is the perfect festive touch whilst the tunic shape and puff sleeves are gorgeously flattering!

These stunning velvet leggings from the Arlene Phillips fashion collection are the perfect addition to the tunic top look! they’re smart and give a gorgeous sumptuous feel to any outfit.

We all have days when we’d prefer our curves to do as they’re told, and that is exactly what Magisculpt dresses from Marisota are designed to do!

This classic Magisculpt dress will hold in your tummy and skim your curves for the perfect hourglass figure! Just like the alternative Mad Men inspired style it looks fantastic on curvier figures and offers a completely versatile style that will work perfectly whatever the occasion.

For smart officewear wear it with low heeled court shoes, studs and a delicate necklace or dress it up with stilettos and funky accessories to take it through to night!

It’s designed to work perfectly on a whole range of shapes and heights, it’s knee length which is ideal for making your legs look longer and leaner and the invisible support panel will give you a gorgeous smoothed out waist!

If you want something a little brighter then the red Magisculpt dress with button detail is perfect!

It’s definitely on my Christmas list!

We love the X factor here at Marisota and we were devastated when our favourite Mary Byrne was axed last weekend. However, we do have to commend her on her gorgeous style!

A couple of weeks ago she sang “Brass in Pocket” wearing a grey top and gorgeous sequin jacket. We can confirm that you can get Mary’s sequin jacket here at Marisota!

The Joanna Hope sequin jacket looks brilliant for any occasion and is ideal for any night out!

The snow is already on the ground, so we thought we’d pick out our favourite snow proofing fashion from Marisota. The most important part of your winter outfit is your footwear. You want something snugg and warm that has a good tread and will keep your feet dry.

These stylish furrie snow boots by Moda in Pelle are ideal for wintry days. They are lined with soft faux fur, feature a thick sole and an excellent tread, plus they’re seriously stylish!

Then you need a nice snug jacket. This gorgeous padded coat couldn’t be better for wrapping up!

So just add some stylish jeans and you have the perfect snow proofing for winter!

A lot of the UK has had snow already, so it’s crucial that we wrap up warm. However, that doesn’t mean discarding our sense of style for the winter months. We have some gorgeous knits in the Marisota 6 day sale that are both budget friendly and on trend!

The weekend is nearly here so I thought I would write a post on what I’ll be getting upto, and give some recommendations for winter weekend style!

Saturday daytime - general relaxing

On Saturdays my family and I like to have a relaxing morning and maybe walk to the park in the afternoon. that means comfortable clothes that are also hard wearing.

This outfit is snug and warm as well as stylish, the Jeffrey and Paula Fairisle jumper is snug and casual but has a great figure flattering shape and a cute pattern. the wide leg jeans are perfect for any body shape and are great for just throwing on and the Nature’s Own boots come in a choice of wide fittings!

Saturday evening - dinner & drinks with friends

It’s not strictly a formal occasion but I still like to get dressed up a little. I’d go for something like;

This gorgeous beaded top from Changes Boutique is perfect for a semi formal evening as it isn’t all out glitz but does have some subtle sequins! Team it with these straight leg Alice Collins trousers and some cute silver heels for the perfect Saturday night look!

Sunday  - lie in and lazy day

These cute pyjamas are perfect for my Sunday morning lie in and lazing around!

Plus these fabulous zebra print slippers are just the thing for keeping toes toasty!

What are you up to this weekend/ what will you be wearing?

Have a good weekend!

The words “fashion” and style are often bandied about with very little thought to what they actually mean, but here at Marisota that we know style comes from within as well as what you’re wearing.  We all know someone who has a very iconic look, a style that is very “them” and more often than not you’ll class them as totally on trend!

Simply sporting the latest fashions is not enough to make you stylish, it’s about dressing in clothes that make you feel good, suit your personality and your body. so here are our top tips for creating your own signature style.

Personality

A stylish outfit needs to suit who you are inside, on a good day! If you’re bubbly and love to be the centre of attention then go for brights whilst floral prints highlight you feminine side. If you find you tend to err on the side of caution and wear a lot of dark or neutral colours then add a statement piece to liven it up!

This stunning cobalt blue tunic is the perfect way to lift a dark outfit without going too far out of your comfort zone

Dress to your strengths

Pick a few things that you love about yourself and play them up; if you have an hourglass figure then nip your outfits in at the waist, if you’ve an enviable décolletage then draw attention to it with delicate necklines. If you know there are certain colours that look good on you then try and wear them whenever you can, a bright handbag or statement necklace is the perfect way to incorporate some colour!

This Suzy Smith red handbag will warm up even the coolest winter outfit!

Be Selective

Fashion is an art form, not a rule book. We should all feel free to pick and choose our styles. Only wear the fashions and trends that you feel comfortable in and that you feel suit you. There’s nothing LESS fashionable than someone wearing the latest clothes but feeling horrible!

So ladies….. don’t forget style is as much about who you ARE as what you wear!
