It's time for another look at the Statement Blouse trend this season - and for the holiday season, your choices just got a little more dramatic! This bold print silk blouse by Sandro from Net-A-Porter captures the spirit of the trend perfectly - some colour blocking, an unusual print in a bold colour, and even a tie-neck to make it a little more "prim & proper".

The classic Shirt Dress has received a fun new update this season, and if you're a fan of clean and simple, this is a trend for you! The nice thing about shirt dresses is the ease with which you can wear them.. one piece, statement heels, and you're ready to go! They are comfortable and stylish, with very little effort on your part. And you can take your pick of an assortment of styles - the shirtdress can be a maxi, an optical illusion, asymmetric, color block, or even printed (all of which you will find below!). For the office, it doesn't get any easier.

This gorgeous cream maxi dress by Zimmermann may not fit your idea of a classic shirt dress, but the contrasting white trim down the front gives it the look, even if there are no buttons! You will find a similar style worn by Evan Rachel Wood when she attended the London photocall for 'Ides of March' wearing Alexa Chung for Madewell - the Bunny dress in black and white. It is mod and chic, and perfect for this season. For all of these dresses, your favourite ankle boots will do just nicely.. and in the evening, a strappy gold sandal will make your outifit pop!

A quality evening shoe is a must-have in every closet, and the pointed-toe shoe has made a welcome return to the world of fashion trends! Platforms became  so high and so "statement-like", they literally couldn't get any higher (unless you were Lady Gaga, of course!)... so it's quite nice to see a delicate shoe back in style.

Unless you have an evening event every night, it's understandable to want a shoe that lasts for more than one season, and that's exactly what you will find here. This black & white pump with double ankle strap is the perfect choice for your holiday parties - as you know, monochrome is a very major trend this season, and a black & white shoe is a very easy way to update your favorite LBD. It will also add a fashion-forward kick to your colours - check out Sarah Jessica Parker in Prabal Gurung and her white shoes for an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. We would be remiss if we didn't pay homage to Manolo Blahnik, for maintaining a fabulous selection of pointed-toe shoes even at the height of the platform craze. Gorgeous selection below..

We all know Christian Louboutin for his lipstick-red soled shoes... a celebrity favourite, they include statement pumps, sky-high wedges, sequins and studs like we have never seen before. But have you seen his handbag collection? It really is gorgeous.. and not just for the evening. This Sweet Charity shoulder bag can definitely be used as a chic little messenger bag, and the lipstick red version from Net-A-Porter will definitely get you noticed!

Holiday season is almost here, and when choosing a new look for your cocktail & evening events, you want to make sure you choose pieces that are versatile and different... and can also be worn for more than one holiday season! That's where new-season maxi dresses come in - simple and elegant, they are designed to make a head-turning statement. You don't need sequins, embellishment, or even a whole lot of accessorizing when you choose this look - it's also not as formal as you might think. Check out Zoe Kravitz in her silver velvet Alexander Wang dress - she paired it with black platform boots!

This season you will find an assortment of trends - interesting prints, asymmetric, draped, nude & neutral shades, even fabrics like velvet and chiffon. The maxi dresses shown here have one thing in common - they are all new and interesting! And a special nod to Zoe, you will find her T by Alexander Wang dress online here..

If you need proof that fashion trends can be practical and fun at the same time, look no further than fur-trimmed boots! Fur, faux-fur and shearling made a real statement on the FallWinter 2011 runway, and a pair of fur-trimmed boots can update your look in an instant. Statement ankle boots are still key this season, but you will also find tall boots with fur-trim - these tend to look a little more casual, so you might want to avoid wearing them with your elegant day and evening dresses.

These Alice & Olivia Penelope boots in grey suede would look terrific with all black, navy would be quite chic, and of course, you have to wear with them with bold red, one of the top trends this season. Check out a selection of fur boots below, they range from casual chic to fashion forward.. and those embroidered boots by Gianviti Rossi are to sigh for!
