  Bejeweled for the Holidays!

‘Tis the season to be sparkly! Make heads turn and accentuate your style with jewel-encrusted dresses and accessories. Diamonds, swarovski crystals, semiprecious and precious gems are perfect for the holiday season (whether you are giving, receiving, or better yet-wearing!). Crystals and gems add an unparalleled glamour and unstated elegance to your look.

I know what you are thinking…Many of my readers actually dread the holidays because of the stress involved in shopping (to the extent it is stressful), cooking, cleaning, and decorating for the inevitable rush of family members that somehow end up taking up residence in your room. Don’t let the pre-holiday blues get you down this year – put them aside for good with some ‘bling’ on your skin (and outshine everyone at those Christmas parties). Hosting the party? A plunging neckline dress gathered at center jewel appliqué will dazzle your guests. Sequin clutches and jeweled brooches are also causing a stir this winter. They are a must have as they will surely add radiance and that “extra umph” to any dress. 

If you have a gown already adorned with sequin beading, you can minimize your jewelry and pair it up with embroidered ankle-strap slides. Put up your hair with a jeweled hair pin, or pair mirrored Indian embroidered denims with a sequin-mesh top. You can even try a jacket with rhinestone trimmed sleeves if you want a young, fresh look this winter season. With so many styles to choose from, you can essentially create your own unique style

My “best dressed” secret for this holiday season: go for detail-oriented work that is out of the ordinary. Sequin or gem encrusted clutches, dresses, brooches, necklaces and everything else that glitters will be sure to set you apart and get you noticed. Embrace this season with glitz and glamour!
