AW Trends: All About: Glitter.

Glamour Dec 2014 Glitter Sequin Jacket by Ashish

My lovelies, I am feeling sparkly lately. Maybe it's the Christmas cheer, maybe it's just because I am fabulous, but something has me feeling like Tinkerbell sprinkled her fairy dust on me & I love it. What's even better? The fashion industry is feeling it too, as designers get on board with glamorous, no apologies glitter ensembles. My favourite? Ashish, who has wowed me with a glamorous take on the casual denim casuals. Always one for embellishment, this season no punches are spared with this full impact show stopping collection.

Now I know glitter may not be for all, but I think that everyone can enjoy adding a little sparkle to their day. So I have compiled a list of how to work the glitter trend for the not so brave, the brave and the bravest. First, the bravest.

The Bravest:

Shimmer sway into the day with this fabulous glitter collection by Ashish

You can either work full glitter, head to toe like the runway looks below or pick an item to work into your wardrobe and cool it down with a cotton tee & complimenting accessories.

2. For the Brave: Try glitter eyelids.

The great thing about glitter eye shadow's is you can scale it up or down depending on your resolve. Pick a colour that compliments your skin tone, I am particularly a fan of coral bronzes, and of course gold flatters most skin tones. This season is the season to sparkle, so go on, give it a go.

For the not so brave conservatives: Glitter Nail Polish.


I was thrilled out of my mind to see this new Essie Lux Effects Glitter nail polish. I'm off to get the gold one now. Glitter nails are a great way to work some optimistic shimmer into your day. The collection has 6 shades. So go nuts.

It's all about: short hair

Who said short hair can't be sexy? These celebrities prove that the right cut for the right face can be sizzling.  Short hair allows your face to stand out whilst giving you the opportunity to remix your crop with your own personal style to really wear it your own way. Each of the following celebrities have added a unique twist to own their bob. If you are thinking of joining the trend, be sure to check this out for ideas on how you can work your short look.

Kiera Knightley- All about the eyes.

Dramatic eyes, stunning cheekbones and pouty lips, Kiera lets her face do the talking whist her hair enhances and frames her stunning features. The chin bob is great for those with killer cheek bones and a strong jaw line.

 Cameron Diaz, Blonde Bombshell.  Cameron gives the classic blonde Marilyn bob with a laid back modern twist. Great for those with fair colouring and bright eyes.

 Madmen Christina Hendrix wears her short hair with a retro pin curl for a timeless unique look.

 Emma Blunt mixes her long bob with a subtle brown ombre, lifting her look.

 Gwenyth Paltrow, works the loose curls for Beach carefree surfer girl look which is just adorable.

 Just like Kiera Ginnifer Goodwin works the above the chin bob, and the result is that her eyes pop. A pretty low maintenance hair style this one, pinned back, she gives us all face.

 My number one girl Jennifer Lawrence works a beautiful subtle Balayage dye mixing blonde and honey for this sweet look that adds dimensions to her long bob.

Ad the short fringe and blunt cut. Very high Fashion Karlie Kloss looks tres tres chic. This look is great for those with a heart shaped face.

Scandal actress Kerry Washington just looks goregeous at all times, her thick bob and heavy fringe really frames her eyes and sweet heart shaped face, whist the subtle ombre brown adds gorgeous dimension, complimenting her skin tone.

 Naomi Campbell keeps it sleek, high shine, high fashion, just like her. You can see the trend here, above the eye fringes really complement a heart shaped face.

So give it a try. It is winter, and who has time to wait for long hair to dry. There are plenty of ways to work short hair, so have some fun and mix it up. Good luck!
