All that glitters, isn’t gold and doesn’t have to be. We all know that a little sparkle goes a long way. Whether it’s polished silver, a brilliant diamond, glitzy rhinestones, or a glimmering sequined gown any one of these instantly puts you in a celebratory mood. No matter your glam quotient, we’ve great ideas that take you from subtle lady to sheen queen. Do whatever it takes to sparkle, shine, and join in the spirit of the season.

Reflections at home

Tableware and napkin rings quickly add a reflective quality to any tablescape. To get more mileage year round from these accessories, incorporate natural materials such as wood or rattan. 

Combine your everyday white dinnerware and glasses with a sequined tablecloth or runner to gain miles of style in one swoop.

A few markets back I fell in love with the “mermaid” sequin pillow. With one stroke of your hand, you can change the sequins from silver to copper! A set of these easily give you two looks for the price of one.

Now that we’ve got you covered for Christmas, let’s see what tricks are up our sleeves for a New Years celebration.

Glitter, glitter, and did I say, GLITTER?

Glitter is all the craze this holiday season, and we would hate for you to miss the train. If you haven’t seen those YSL boots that graced the runway this spring, you have to check them out.

Many celebrities have been spotted wearing them.

They would be the perfect addition to your New Years Eve party outlook. With the party happening with your footwear, it’s best to make a statement with your clutch; but in a more simpler matter.

Fur is simple, yet chic. Allowing the texture to take precedence over the color. Remember we don’t anything to out shine those boots. Therefore, black is the best way to go.

Go big, be bold with your earring choice and plan to wear your hair up and off of your shoulders.

Lastly, nothing says festive like a chic, red lip. Not just any old red lipstick. A red that responds beautifully to your undertone and has a matte consistency. A matte red lipstick paired with all black, is the epitome of timeless and classic.
