So it’s the day before the big day, are you ready? Maybe you are and you’r quietly sipping some cocoa by a toasty fire or.. not and you’re scrambling at the mall to figure out what you need to get your mother’s second cousin twice removed, the cat-obsessed neighbour who unexpectedly got you a present and that hard to shop for person on your list. If you are going out, make sure you’ve got some solid Ovate outerwear on.

Whatever you situation may be, make sure you’re ready for the day after Santa’s visit. What you’ll need is a good black dress whether you’re hosting Christmas dinner or if you’ll be gobbling on someone else’s slaved over meal. If you’re in the latter position, make sure you have a great host gift to make sure you show your hosts how much you appreciate their hard labour. Olla Urban Flower Project has some amazing arrangements and living containers that will set your host gift apart. Your hosts will also appreciate that your gift is local and ethically-sourced. Check Olla Urban Flower project at our Pop Up Shop at Chinatown Experiment.

Show your holiday spirit with some festive footwear à la Charlotte Olympia or make it a blue Christmas with some of our Biko stackable bracelets for a nativity arm party. Don’t forget to use a lip pencil when doing up a bold red holiday lip. Filling in your lips with lip pencil before you apply your lipstick will ensure that you’re not reminding the kids at the table of a scary clown once the food is served.

Et voilà! A happy holiday to you and yours from Shoppalu! xoxo
