Christmas Day is celebrated in so many different ways - from a casual family lunch to a formal dinner. Some of us escape to the beach for a picnic, and a Christmas barbecue has become a New Zealand tradition. Whatever you are doing this year, make it a stylish one.
Christmas lunch
Christmas is all about making an effort and wearing your Sunday best. You can remain chic and still take it down a notch by swapping heels for a pair of slides. Wear your hair down for a more relaxed vibe.
