Holiday Sparkle...

This time of year just shouts out sparkle! Christmas lights, holiday ornaments and..somehow..jewels and glitter everywhere.

So here are a few ideas of how to add a little sparkle to your december!

   

add a little glitter to your manicure

(note: If you're doing a whole nail, I would opt for

the ring finger, rather than the middle finger)

celebrate with sparklers on your cake/dessert

put a smile on someone's face, make it extra

special and use glitter ribbon

get experimental or a little daring with your make up

and try a line of glitter eyeliner over your regular black liner.

just one skinny line, a little goes a long way...

Get the kids involved and create DIY, home-made

christmas ornaments, or seasonal decor with glitter and glue!

...or pair a sequins top with a neutral, plain maxi skirt, or your favorite

pair of pants for a holiday party/outing

How do you get your sparkle on?

Oversized

I love oversized clutch bags. They're still small [compared to handbags and totes] and have a sense of 'dressy'-ness to them and formality, but depending on their look they can be casual chic or black-tie formal. And their size allows you to have more than just your cellphone inside! Which is so convenient when you're going out!
