Fashionably Festive
Christina Roys rounds up some of the festive fashion on offer this year.
Holiday season is upon us and instead of embracing the festivities with one too many mince pies and corny Christmas carols, celebrate the season in style with a selection of fashion and beauty goodies made just for the occasion.
BOOHOO KNIT BEFORE CHRISTMAS
For the love of novelty knits, online retailer boohoo.com has launched its #Knitb4Xmas campaign, inviting followers to snap themselves in a novelty Xmas jumper and share on Twitter or Instagram to win Boohoo vouchers.
With a selection of both women’s and men’s knitwear and this year’s must have Christmas onesie, everyone is sure to be in the festive spirit. The fun, jolly collection, ranging in price from $40- $75, is online now on boohoo.com.
AND for those who don’t have a festive knit, fear not because with Boohoo’s new app you can knit yourself one. I personally put the app to the test and it turns out, it’s rather entertaining, especially if you surprise a friend and try it on them first!
