Party Season: What to wear this Christmas and New Year
It feels like just yesterday that I was writing my Christmas/New Year blog!
What a year!
So I thought today, I would give you an update, a message of love and of course, share some fashion along the way!
For myself, it has been the toughest year personally that I can ever remember.
Last Christmas I’d just lost my 85-year-old mum to Alzheimer’s just prior to losing my beautiful furbaby Jaffa of 15 years.
This year has been full of illness for me all the while pushing through a heavy workload.
Vietnam was the usual highlight in July/August, I met some amazing new people and continued to forge existing relationships.
The places we visited were just amazing so I’m looking forward to our upcoming 2020 tour!
The Academy and Style With Cindy continue to grow each year with more students being trained by me to empower and support other humans through the power of personal styling.
Beautiful Summer dress to style up or down with a change of shoes and accessories. You can even take off the straps and wear without the belt. Gorgeous! Country Road Print Pleated Dress $229 & Shoes my own Country Road.
Ted Baker Dress $449 & Shoes $191 Christmas in a dress! Feeling festive in this one that’s for sure. If you love colour and the spirit of the season this is a winner.
I know many of you will have had a rough year, and I want you to know you aren’t alone, we all have our struggles and it really highlights why we need to be kind and patient with each other.
I hope that as Christmas nears you are getting yourself in a positive position with the right attitude to welcome in a fabulous 2020!
Something a little different! Some might say it’s too much, some will wear something this colourful for the festive season, or some would make this an every day go to – that’s the thing about personal style – it’s personal!! Gorman Tie Dress $169 with fabulous tie detail on the side. Fun! Shoes Jo Mercer.
Christmas for me is about giving and spending fun time with family.
My 85-year-old dad will join us again and I’m holding on tight!
My children will all be with us apart from 2, and we’ve just had a new member arrive on the 9th of December – Alaska Rose!
I’m loving volunteer model Lara in this casual dress from Country Road ($199) The stripe elongates, the frill adds a stylish edge and the waistband draws your eye to the smallest point – the waist. Perfect. Shoes are from Jo Mercer.
Witchery Spot Dress (Check in-store) Heel $179 This one has FLOWN out the door at Witchery and you can see why. Portmans also has some similar great options. Love the neck detail and the spot, feminine, fun and festive.
I wish you all the very best for Christmas, and thank you all for your support of my amazing team of stylists and of course myself!
Please all take care of each other, lose judgement of others and show some patience!
Give a stranger a smile!
An elegant white style perfect for a dressier event. Floral, fresh and flattering. Ted Baker Full Skirt Dress $269 on sale!
A pair of white pants or culottes for summer are a staple for many women. You can style this pair with so many different top options… change to a less flowy top and heels for a dinner out… Stunning! Forever New Pleated Pants $99.95 & Top (see instore) and shoes my own Country Road.
This dress from Ted Baker Tie Strap Dress ($449 & Shoes $191) is so pretty. Floral but modern with the black detailing, this one can be worn to casual parties, on Christmas day and New Years celebration. A great all-rounder.
So there you have it, an update, message of kindness and I hope you have found some style inspiration for your celebrations!
Merry Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year!

Ted Baker Dress with the black detail is stylish and playful so different to many of the florals available currently. Stunningly elegant as always Cindy, x
