Festive update 2023

Posted on by Toni Carver

The festive season is well under-way and now the Black Friday madness is out of the way, I wanted to use this week’s blog to update you about the festive season.

Studio Christmas opening hours

The studio will close and there will be no appointments available between 22 December 2023 and 4 January 2024.

Emails will be monitored during this period, but there may be a short delay in response. The diary is open for 2024 so do get in touch to secure your preferred appointment date: toni.carver@tlcstyleandcolour.co.uk

Christmas postage

For all gifts (see below for some special packages) and physical gift vouchers for Christmas, please note the following deadline dates apply in the UK.

Monday 18 December is the last posting date for second class post and first class is Wednesday 20 December.

If you’re later than this, it means you’ll need to pay the extra charges for Special Delivery. The last posting date from the studio will be Thursday 21 December. 

Collection is available from the studio but this will be Thursday 21 December. Please do get in touch as early as possible to ensure that any gifts are in stock and available for collection! I would hate for anyone to be disappointed.

Party season clothes

The shops are awash with sequins, glitter and luxe fabrics which can only mean that the party season is on the way!

It can feel very tempting to want to shop for something new and if you’re a sucker for a bargain then revisit my blog with tips on curbing your impulse buying here.

That being said, here’s five tops tips for festive outfit shopping:

  1. Choose a flattering shade of colour, especially if you’re wearing it close to your face.
  2. Make sure it fits and flatters your shape. Broadly; if you’re straighter in the body chose boxier shapes and if you’ve got curves then choose fluid fabric that will mimic your curves.
  3. Go with your personality type. If shimmer is all a bit much for you, don’t buy it! Try and look for different fabric or textures to luxe up your look instead – there’s lots of velvet at this time of year too.
  4. If you’re looking to be more sustainable then consider shopping on Vinted, eBay and charity shops for a piece that you can give another life to. Garments don’t always have to be new, just new to you. Also consider using the rental marketplace sites for garments that you can rent for a few days. Read the previous blog on this here.
  5. Know your metal! Gold is perfect if you have a warmer skin tone. If you’re cooler toned then go silver! If you’re not sure or you have a neutral skin tone, pewter or rose gold will be a great option.

 

Finally, enjoy the festivities and if you need help, get in touch.
