Shine like a star!

It’s the end of the year and you’ll probably have a fair bit of parties to go to. Here are some tips to add some sparkle to your style!

Tip 1
Accessorise!
Easiest way to add shine is with accessories. Get a bejewelled bag, bracelets, a shiny necklace or metallic high heels.

Tip 2
Don’t compete.
If your outfit is already embellished or sequinned, keep accessories simple. Too much and you might look like a well-lit Christmas tree.

Tip 3
Match ‘em
Pair high-shine outfits with soft matte materials like chiffon or silk for a softer look.
