Anya Hindmarch Valorie Clutch

Celebrate Christmas with my-wardrobe.com

One of the perks of being a fashion blogger is being invited to events where I can view some of the season’s latest fashions.   I was recently invited down the the my-wardrobe.com Christmas party, to view many of  the latest lovely items available on their website, in celebration of the opening of their Christmas Room – a room dedicated to party outfits and gifts for the festive season.

DVF Lytton Clutch and Sportmax Ventura Wool Ribbed Hat

Of course, it didn’t take me long to appreciate the gorgeous designer outfits that were surrounding me, and the photo on the right is of me trying out the Anya Hindmarch Valorie Clutch, the gorgeous glitter clutch that Anya Hindmarch brings out each year, which is available in different colours. Those of you with sharp eyes will notice that the table on the left of the photo is bedecked with the Diane Von Furstenberg Lytton, a box clutch with a signature twig clasp which also is brought out each year in different colours and textures of leather.

So, on the left, there’s me (again) posing with the bronze DVF Lytton Clutch and also completing the look with Sportmax Ventura Wool Ribbed Hat, which I was also rather impressed by.

Tibi Cream Tuxedo Jacket with Leather

Another item that I really loved was the Tibi Cream Tuxedo Jacket with leather. This jacket, pictured on the right, has a shawl lapel which is actually made from black leather, together with a stunning lace lining. The jacket itself, which is made from a wool blend fabric, really combines different materials and textures in a most unusual and attractive way.

So take a trip to the my-wardrobe.com Christmas room, and let me know which are your favourite items in the comments section below.
