    Don't be bored during the festive break, we've got plenty to keep you occupied...

    If you're feeling bored over the Christmas break (and have already finished your January copy of Marie Claire), why not check out what we've got to offer online?

    From the best red carpet outfits of the year, to the very worst dressed stars (stand up and be counted Lindsay Lohan and Fergie), there are celebrity photos aplenty. We also looked at which stars tied the knot this year - 2012 was the biggest wedding fash-off - and from Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel to Anne Hathaway and Adam Schulman, we have all the snaps!

    If you're looking for make-up inspiration for the party season, check out our style guide, the morning after the night before, our post-party skin savers. Don't forget you can also enjoy a free trial of Marie Claire on iPad, Kindle Nook and Google Plus over the Christmas break - sign up here! If you fancy a bit of sale shopping but can't bare to hit the high street - then check out our brand new sales shopping site Marie Claire Fashion Sales Genius and bag yourself some bargains from the comfort of your sofa!

    We've got food covered too, with ten easy-to-make canapé recipes, plus - for those who really can't hack it in the kitchen - the best winter pubs. If you need something a little healthier, check out our guide on food to beat the winter blues – it even contains chocolate, and our best detox tips - which don't contain chocolate!
