My favourite Christmas party dresses

Hi guys,

In the famous words of Noddy Holden; It's Chrriistmaaasss!!! Yes, the tree is up in our house and I've already started wrapping presents and hiding them under the tree. In fashion terms, that can mean only one thing: it's time to find the perfect Christmas party dress. Despite the fact I'd much rather stay at home on a Saturday night (sad but true) I love party dresses and have far too many of them, so finding the perfect frock is one of my favourite things about Christmas.

Here are some of the finest party dresses I've discovered so far, during my many hours of trawling through the interwebs. Of course, I'll always opt for the blackest dress I can find (I'm nothing if not predictable) but if you're more adventurous than me, this is a great season for colour:

1. Strapless brocade dress, Very.co.uk, £49

2. Yellow shift dress, Topshop Limited Edition, £165

3. One shoulder dress, ASOS, £48.50

4. Ballerina flower dress, Oasis, £110

5. Alice by Temperley dress, My-Wardrobe, £595

6. Rubens print dress, Vivienne Westwood, £480

7. Gold sequin party dress, Motel, £58

8.Embellished one shoulder dress, Clothing at Tesco, £36

9. Michael Kors ostrich feather dress, Net-a-porter, £305

If I could afford it, my first choice would be the Vivienne Westwood dress: the pattern is amazing, and it was just made for curves. On my budget though, my favourite dress is the brocade number from Very.co.uk. I love a good strapless dress, and if it's good enough for Holly Willoughby then it's good enough for me!

If you like the Motel dress (pictured above) or any of the other dresses they have on their site for that matter, then I have a special treat for you! Motel have kindly offered you guys 15% off anything on their website from today until Sunday 4th December. Just enter the code SEQUIN15 at the checkout!

Love Tor xx

Red hot reader discount from Sarenza.co.uk!

Hi guys,
Just a quick post from me to tell you about an amazing offer the lovely folks over at Sarenza have given me for you guys: a massive 30% discount!! You know how I love the shoes from Sarenza, so I think this is a great opportunity for a little (almost) guilt-free shoe shopping!

All you have to do is head over to the Sarenza website, and once you've chosen the shoes of your dreams, enter the discount code FABFROCKS30 when you check out on Sarenza.co.uk, and you'll get 30% off on everything with no minimum spend, which I think is a pretty hot offer!

If you want to use the offer though you'll have to be quick as it's only available this weekend: from tomorrow 7am until midnight on Sunday. And of course, the code can be used once by each reader!

I am really rating the sandals I got from Sarenza last month: and the Moheda clogs have barely left my feet since I got them (in fact, I'm wearing them again today!) so if you're looking for a recommendation from me on how to best use your 30% discount, they would definitely be it

Are Sarenza good to us or what!?

Love, Tor xx

Reader discount: Delightful Muddle Vintage

I love vintage shopping (in fact i'm wearing one of my favourite vintage coats today) I love wearing something that you can be sure noone else is wearing (not something that happens when you pull on your favourite Topshop dress). So you can imagine how pleased I was to discover Delightful Muddle Vintage: well organised good quality vintage at affordable prices from the comfort of your living room.

Delightful Muddle Vintage is about to celebrate its first birthday. The company was originally set up by the current owners grandmother in the 1940s, but has now been operating online for 12 months. There is no focus on designer items but wonderful wearable pieces that are as relivent now as they were when they were made; some of the dresses are beautiful, and because they aren't recognised designer-vintage labels, they're really affordable too.

Unusually, the store also offers menswear, so you can glam up your boyfriend at the same time as shopping for yourself! And the site has a bargain corner where all items are £10 or less: perfect for a little treat when you're not feeling flush!

Delightful Muddle Vintage are offering FabFrocks readers a MASSIVE 25% off. You simply need to enter the code delightfulfrocks at the checkout. How exciting is that?? I bet you can guess what i'll be doing this afternoon! (hint: it involves online shopping!)

Love, Tor xx
