Holiday sparkle
Five chic accessories to help celebrate the season in style
The holidays are the one time of year when it's entirely appropriate — nay, encouraged — to wear as much sparkle and glitter as possible. Shimmer- flecked eyeshadow? A must. Glittering fingernails? Go for it. Rhinestone- encrusted accessories? Practically a requirement.
With this preference for all things shiny in mind, we've rounded up five stylish outfit add- ons that are sure to fit seamlessly into your holiday outfit planning. Prepare to get noticed.
Perfect ( time) piece $ 1,195 | Hudson’s Bay
Isn’t it time you treated yourself to a new watch? The classic timepiece gets a luxurious update thanks to this Bulova Rubaiyat Women’s Watch, which features a rose gold- tone and stainless steel case and 50 sparkling handset diamonds. Telling time never looked so chic.
Best bow $ 19.90 | Zara
Finish your look with an unexpected dose of glamour thanks to this borrowed-from-the- boys bejewelled bow tie. The limited- edition style features delicate details to add a subtle sparkle to any look, while the seasonal shade of burgundy plays well with pretty much all colour palettes.
Arm candy $ 89 | poppyandpeonies.com
Retail stores are chock full of party appropriate clutches and handbags come holiday time. But, few are as preciously pretty as this Sparkle Mini from the Canadian brand Poppy and Peonies. Available in black or rosegold glitter, this cross- body bag adds a fun touch to even the simplest of looks.
Cool collar $ 24 | Joe Fresh
If your December social calendar is looking a little full, you may want to add a chic statement necklace, like this multi- stone bib necklace with burgundy and champagne-hued crystals, to your desktop makeover stash. Putting a stunning sparkler in with that favourite red lipstick and spare pair of heels ensures you’re never caught off guard by all those after- work drinks invitations or office party reminders.
Twinkle toes $ 89.99 | callitspring.com
Glitter boots like these Embrey iterations in silver aren’t just for the holiday season — they’re completely on trend for well past Dec. 31, too. Several fashion designers sent glittery footwear down the runways in recent seasons ( peep the pairs at CHANEL and Saint Laurent for some serious shoe envy), so it’s safe to say the twinkletoes trend is here to stay.
