F+F at Tesco Christmas 2011

I know what you're thinking. It's much too early to even be thinking about Christmas, but when you really think about it, planning ahead has always got to be a good thing. Every year I tell myself I'm going to get presents early and as I'm already seeing Advent Calendars and Christmas cards in store, it's a clear sign that it's time to start planning for Christmas 2011. Of course, we also need to plan our Winter/Christmas wardrobes, which is why I'm bringing you the F+F at Tesco Christmas 2011 Lookbook which was very kindly sent to me not long ago!

Many of these pieces are going straight onto my Christmas list for this year and hopefully some of the pieces will inspire you to add them to your own lists, or buy them for someone else. Now you can see how helpful this post will be in getting you organised for Crimbo!

Let us begin with some of my fave model shots from the collection then we'll really get into the good stuff!







I think you'll all agree that Christmas Lookbooks are always something special. Everyone's thinking of Christmas parties, elegance and glamour, which I think Tesco have managed to fit into their collection extremely well. I'm not exactly one for dressing up and going to sophisticated events, but a girl can dream.



As you'd expect, the collection is full of festive colours, LBD's and of course the Red alternative to the LBD, but what I REALLY love is the turquoise blue that's cropped up here. Not traditionally a festive colour, but it's absolutely gorgeous and you'd definitely stand out at a Christmas party in this one.

For those that prefer to play it safe, there are a few traditional LBDs on hand that ooze sophistication. There are also a few alternatives for the party season, such as lace, which has been huge this year, and even a jumpsuit for those that don't care too much for dresses. White and cream are also a big part of the collection this year and you'll look like a winter snowflake arriving in these dresses!









Of course, what I really love is the warm and snug pieces that always come with Christmas collections, such as Pyjamas, socks, jumpers and other accessories. You can bet that every year, under the Christmas tree, will be a new pair of Pyjamas, socks and slippers for me. It wouldn't be Christmas without them! I actually got a pair of slippers similar to the ones below and they were so snug!





So, what do we think of Tesco's latest offerings? I particularly like the black gowns, but the colourful dresses are really the ones that scream Christmas at me and as I mentioned before, the sweet, snug pieces are really what I want under the tree this year!

I think that F+F have been particularly clever with their alternative Christmas party wear pieces and I believe they'll fly off the shelves. People tend to stick to the reds or blacks at parties and Christmas events, so those that opt for the bolder and brighter colours are going to be hugely rewarded with compliments!

The collection also includes some lovely underwear sets, accessories and party shoes so I suggest you put your orders in now!
