Shop: Celebrate Vogue's Online Fashion Week with big discounts!

Hi guys,
Vogue's Online Fashion Week started today, and runs until Friday 7th December. Loads of big brands are getting involved in the event and offering big discounts just perfect for either Christmas shopping or (even better) picking out that perfect Christmas party dress. Here are some of the great deals available this week:

- Baukjen are offering 50% off the top two LBD’s on their site: The Sleeveless Drape Dress and The Asymmetric Neck Dress perfect for the party season. They're also offering 25% off the category ‘Vogue Online Fashion Week’ on their website and Free Delivery with the code VOGUE25. You can take advantage of these fantastic offers by visiting Baukjen.com and entering the code VOGUE25 at the checkout.

- Henry Holland are offering 15% off their winter wardobe essentials: think cozy scarfs and chunky knits (view the collection here.) To take advantage of this offer just enter the code VOGUEOFW in at the checkout. The deal is running all the way through until Friday.

-  This is a deal you'll have to act fast on if you want to take advantage of it, as it isn't running all week. But Jigsaw is offering 10 per cent off all online orders until midnight tonight as part of Online Fashion Week by entering VOGUEOFW at the checkout when you pay. Every shopper will also be automatically entered into a prize draw to win a cashmere scarf.

- Finally, that online favourite ASOS is offering 20 per cent off their ASOS Collection range by entering the code PARTY20 at check out. This is my favourite offer of all of the ones I've found so far (I really like the ASOS Collection stuff) and again, this deal runs until Friday, giving you plenty of time to pick the pieces you want.

I'm sure loads of other great deals will also pop us as the week progresses: I'll be tweeting all of the best ones, so make sure you're following me on twitter to keep up to date with all the Online Fashion Week bargains.

Fabfrocks at Home: All decorated for Christmas!

Hi guys,
I love Christmas. Actually that's an understatement: I LOVE Christmas! So as soon as December 1st rolls around, I want my house decorated immediately. Because of course, why not maximise the amount of time you can spend looking at glittery decorations and twinkly lights, right? True to form, yesterday we built our grotto whilst listening to our specially crafted Christmas playlist. Here's how it looks:

-Nothing on my tree matches! It's a mish-mash of colours and styles: but that's because each bauble is special. My mum started it, buying my sisters and I special Christmas baubles to remember every year starting from when we were born. And now Mike and I pick up ornaments on our travels together: we have one to remind us of our wedding day, our honeymoon, even one that says "Our first Christmas together". I think it's a great tradition and makes putting up the tree even more special.


- I love poinsettias: they're so festive, and cheap too! This one cost me just £2.50 from Asda. It has pride of place in our fireplace, and the great thing is (if I remember to water it!) it will last for the whole of December!


- We picked up the nutcracker in Berlin last December. The 70s-style angel was a gift from my mum: something she and my dad have had since they got married. And it just wouldn't be Christmas without a plate full of candy canes to nibble on every time you walk past it!


-Our non-traditional Christmas wreath. I saw one just like this in a fancy design shop, but it was soo expensive. Luckily, my mum is a craft monster and a genius with a glue gun: she managed to replicate it completely for me. I think it looks amazing!


- This is our first year of having a proper fireplace for Christmas, and I love it! Our stockings are all hung up and ready in anticipation. Mike and I have Mickey and Minnie ones, brought in Florida. The baby has his own which I made myself: tutorial on how to make one to follow next weekend!


- Finally the focal point of any home at Christmas: the dining table. My centrepiece is an advent ring. The sweet cones are from Ikea: it's hard to fill them fast enough when Mike is around! We also have a full Christmas dinner service: you really can't avoid the fact that it's December in this house!

Have you put your Christmas tree up yet? How do you like to decorate for Christmas?
