Alexandra Carello’s Festive Party Picks

Having been in the luxury PR game for a number of years, Alexandra Carello knows a thing or two about good style. If you follow her, you'll know she's partial to a velvet hairband, statement earrings and ballet flats – which, when combined, create a polished look that she carries off time and again. Need some fresh fashion inspiration for party season? We asked her to pick some of her favourite pieces...

Red Satin Jewel Buckle Pumps, £795 | Manolo Blahnik

Manolo Blahnik’s Hangisi style is my favourite shoe of all time. I have them in blue and wear them with everything from jeans to skirts. This red colourway will add a festive feel to any outfit.

Sequinned Playsuit With Bow, £79.99 | Zara

Bows and sequins – what’s not to love? Pair this Zara playsuit with polka-dot tights for maximum impact.

Bouclé Hair Bow, £55 | Henriette von Grünberg

You can’t go wrong with bouclé and this bow from Henriette von Gruenberg promises to inject a bit of preppy cool into your look. If I could, I’d buy most of her hair accessories.

Leather Look Curved Sleeve Top & Skirt, From £340.13 | Caes

CAES an emerging Dutch brand does simply yet beautifully and ethically designed pieces. This top has gorgeous curved sleeves and is made from Vegea leather , a vegan leather derived from grape pulp. I’d go full on leather and pair with the matching skirt.

Evangelie In Crystal & Fluorescent, £860 | Marina Raphael

Marina Raphael and Swarovski have teamed up to create some of the chicest party bags this season. Wear this one with a simple outfit like black trousers and a black jacket to let it do the talking.

Rue Scoop-Back Sequinned Mini Dress, £1,158 | The Attico

This season it’s all about mini skirts and mini dresses. I don’t believe in buying just for one season, and this minidress would be perfect for the summer as well. Just add platforms and a Marina Raphael bag to complete the look.

Millenia Necklace & Chroma Earrings, From £250 | Swarovski

A friend of mine very kindly bought me a Swarovski choker with some matching earrings. The brand is doing some very exciting things right now, and I always get an amazing reaction when I wear these pieces together. Team them with a black polo neck to let the jewellery take centre stage.

Necklace available here
Earrings available here

Clear Dots Tights, £16 | Tabio

If you couldn’t tell by now, I love patterned tights. They’re such an easy yet chic addition to a simple skirt or dress. I’d pair these ones with a mini dress and my blue Manolos.

School Shirt 03,€150 | La Veste

There is no wrong time for a pretty shirt and La Veste, La Veste does the best in my opinion. The easiest way to perk up trousers or a skirt at a moments notice.

Tulle Sleeveless Dress, £322.37 (was £501.80) | REDValentino

The rumour is Valentino is discontinuing its REDValentino diffusion line, but I’ve always loved the prim, pretty designs. This dress is such a forever piece – keep it simple or make it a little more OTT with some statement accessories.

Available here

Ruffle Velvet Headband, €70 | Marzoline

Marzoline do beautiful headbands. I’d wear something like this for Christmas Day

Available here

Misty Bow, £95 | Camilla King

From chunky headbands to oversized hair bows, nothing’s off limits when it comes to hair accessories this autumn/winter. Camilla King’s bows always makes me feel so special when I wear them and Marzoline creates beautiful headbands – wear one or the other on Christmas Day.

Available here

Cardigan In Peony Pink, £180 | Sheep Inc

I love this bright pink cardigan from sustainable knitwear brand Sheep Inc. – it’s a great piece to pep up trousers and skirts. Dress it up with some shorts and, of course, patterned tights.
