Fashion: All that Glitters

You may have adorned your tree with tinsel and baubles of glitter this christmas making it look perfectly festive. But glitter (in my opinion) should never just be left on the christmas tree. It's also a great way to shine this party season. 
Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel and Diane Von Furstenberg embraced shimmering style and even Vogue Veteran Anna Wintour stepped out in sequinned skirt suit so you know it's a winner this winter. 


Spring 2012 catwalks


I think my love of all things glittery stem from my youth of roll on body glitter (don't judge I was 14 at the time) which has blossomed into a full on magpie addiction with all things shiny. 
It's not just dresses this season that have been given a glitzy makeover. If you prefer your LBD then perk up a black ensemble with an embellished clutch or sequinned block heels. 
Even better news is that Spring sees sequin's staying power with Ellie Saab, Jenny Packham and Anna Sui's runaways bedazzling in 2012. 
Okay maybe not a spring staple for every day wear but certainly invest in a be-sparkled evening piece now (especially as they'll probably all be in sale as of boxing day) and rock it from now until Summer.  


Get the look:






1.  Sequin Silvery Shift Dress £47.89, ROMWE.com
I love this dress! If I had any money right now this is what I would by in a heart beat (theres only 5 left, so get a wiggle on if you want to nab one and make me insanely jealous!)
2. Vero Moda Navajo Sequin Mini Skirt £26, ASOS
Now in the sale (yey!) but not in my size (boo!) 
3. Twinkle Glitter bag £26, French Connection 
4. Kandee after8 platforms £198, New Look
A little bit more the I would normally pay for shoes (well quite a lot more) but it's a classic shape, with a platform base meaning they'll be super comfortable and the stunning emerald shade will add the X factor to any classic outfit.
5.Butter London Henley Regatta Glitter Nail Polish £12, Butter London
6. All-over Crystal Detachable Collar £14.65, ROMWE.COM
7. NYX Glitter eye palette £6, nyxcosmeticsstore.co.uk
My mum and I both bought one of these palettes for each other this christmas and I literally can't wait to use it for a night out (though I have been wearing it around the house, glam up the pyjama's)
