Twinkle twinkle little star!

Just to show that fancy isn’t just for the festive season, sparkle, sequins and shine are sweeping the streets this spring. Now we all know that a bit of glitz feels glamourous and right now it’s having a major moment, so ladies, now is your time to shine.

There’s something so very exciting about sparkles and it really is the perfect trend if you are a throw on and go girl, the truth is a splash of shimmer brings the luxe to any ensemble. Give a classic look a twist with a wink of a sequin or a glittering of gems, or if you want to stay safe find your shine with satin or silk.

Balance the bling

The trick with glitz is to make it look simple, wear a sequin top with a simple bottom or try an embellished neckline or sleeve, and of course accessories are always a go-to when it comes to safely rocking any new season trends. Belts, bracelets, earrings and shoes are all stepping up this spring to add some dazzle to your daywear. You can stick to gold, bronze and silver metallics or light up with brights like a meteor shower, either way we are seeing stars we just can’t seem to get enough!

Sizzling sparkles

After dark, strike like lightning, now is the time to turn up the wattage, think high voltage pizzazz. Sparkling tights, dresses, handbags and pants are taking our spring style to the next level – perhaps even replacing the florals for some, so don’t hold back! Look for larger sequins for maximum impact and smaller for a slinkier, more subtle entrance, both however will turn heads, so be ready for the paparazzi!

Brooch the subject

Some accessories are made to be the show stoppers, they’re just too fabulous to be an afterthought, so why not start with your most dazzling piece and build your look from there? And if you buy one thing this season, make it a brooch; they are a lot of fun and so suitably spring, find one with your initial or search for something unique in a second-hand store, a brooch is a wonderful accessory if you want to tiptoe on this spring shimmer trend without being fully committed.
