LEICESTER, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 12/03/12 -- Bloggers could win a GBP 500 Next gift card in the latest Dress a Festive Shop Window competition, hosted by Jess Shanahan at feelingstylish.co.uk in association with home and fashion retailer Next. Create a window of your favourite party dresses, shelves of glittery shoes or perhaps let the interior designer inside you come out with a festive home setting.

Be inspired by the latest Christmas collections of Rough Luxe, Modern Green, Home Comforts and Chinoise - complete with one of Next's real Christmas trees. Design your ideal living room setting with candles, overmantle mirrors, bunting and Christmas stockings for at the chimney breast. Perhaps go for a children's bedroom awaiting Santa with advent calendar bedding, festive pyjamas and a cosy bedside lamp or lay your fantasy Christmas table with red, green and gold tableware. If your favourite part of the season is dressing up in the latest partywear - maybe even go for a New Year's Eve style window with those all important dresses and tuxedos.
