Whether you’re a fan of Elf or prefer to cosy up to The Holiday, we know a day spent on the sofa sipping mulled wine and munching on chocolates in front of a magical movie is the perfect warm up for the big day!
This week, we’re sharing our favorite festive films old and new, along with a guide on what to wear to watch them. Check out our rundown…
The Holiday
Cameron Diaz looking cosy in cashmere in the cutest Cotswolds cottage is pure festive goals! Throw in a rather dashing Jude Law and you have a smash hit movie on your hands. This home-swap Christmas classic is now on Netflix and we think channelling Amanda aka Cameron’s incredible outfits is the only way to watch. Try our cream wool blend Kiyo Coat to cover up with a chic silhouette and wear over our beautiful Noella roll neck top and Premium Jeans for an effortlessly elegant take on winter wear. Style with a pair of simple Astrid & Miyu Huggies for a finishing touch that wouldn’t look out of place in the British countryside or the bright lights of LA.
Elf
The ultimate Christmas comedy that sees Buddy (the not so little Elf) descend on New York City to find his father with hilarious capers at every turn. Add in a romance with Zoe Deschanel and we’re feeling all warm and fuzzy. With its fantastical styling, you’ll want to get into character, and nothing compliments Elf quite like our velvet Mei Jumpsuit. The chicest take on an elf costume you’ll ever find, pair with velvet loafers in a contrasting color for a truly magical feel. Need a finishing touch? Our Astrid & Miyu Wishbone Ear Cuff will ensure you shine as bright as the baubles on your tree.
Home Alone
An eight-year-old troublemaker is forced to protect his house from a pair of burglars when he is accidentally left home alone during the Christmas vacation. Cue fun hijinks and heart-warming family feels. It’s one of our favorites and deserves a nod to nostalgia when it comes to your outfit. Opt for our Lori Jumper with its vintage color block sleeves and pair with our paper bag waist Patti Trousers. Their wide leg and high waist have an 80s feel that also offers ultimate comfort for cosying up in. Pair with a chunky trainer for when you decide to take a stroll…or defend your own home from the Wet Bandits!
A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding
It may be predictable and somewhat cliched, but this Netflix offering is one of our favorites! Giving you that regal feeling, it will transport you to the snowy palace grounds and make you feel like a Queen. Want to look the part? Then you need to up the glamour as the best dressed guest in front of this TV wedding moment. Try our Ivy Dress with its striking color block hem or our asymmetric Blare Dress in stunning golden yellow that would pair perfectly with a crown! Wear with barely there stilettos and a pair of our Astrid & Miyu Crossing Lines Hoops for instant impact.
White Christmas
If you want to up the glamour then this 1954 American musical film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen is a must watch. Camp and glitzy, this film will inspire you to up your shine! Try on our Vanessa Dress in berry velvet for a nod to nostalgic glamour or go all out with our red Dungagown duo. Pair with metallic heels and Hollywood waves in your hair for that ultimate 50s style. Layer up the details with our Crossing Lines Bangle and you’re ready to sing!
Now you know how to up the ante when it comes to your festive film indulgence, get ready to sit back, relax and celebrate.
