It's that time of year where all things pretty and shiny come out to play;  The Christmas ornaments glow, the little lights twinkle and the champagne sparkles, making everything feel just a little more magical.  I love how Mulberry's Emma Hill unexpectedly topped a shiny, snow-sweeping maxi with a decidedly utilitarian anorak, keeping the whole look from dancing into OTT territory.   The brilliance of this Club Monaco dress?  Its ribbon belt is removable, so you can cinch the dress at the waist with any of your own skinny belts, and the shimmery fabric is seasonless, meaning you get to wear it all year long.  A good LBD will always be chic but a metallic maxi is way more fun, non?

PS - I'll be talking about chic stocking stuffer ideas on CityLine today!  If you missed the 9 am show, tune in again at 2pm or watch it online!
