Shining Light on the Gift Gliteratti

One thing’s for sure, there may be a recession on, but that’s no reason to dress like you’re on rations. This season is all about metallics, sequins and studs. In fact if you’re spotted at the office party in the stationary cupboard with that hot guy from accounts in anything less, then how on earth are you going to be talked about for the rest of the year by your colleagues?!

So you’ve got the frock, the shoes and the bag... but what about the accessories? Nothing completes a look like a statement necklace or a glitzy watch and I’ve trawled the interwebs finding you the latest drop dead gorgeous pieces so you don’t have to. You’re welcome!

Here's Part I of our ultimate accessorise guide:

Make sure you sparkle (and not in a Twilight kind of a way either) in this eye catching oversized crystal bangle from Topshop. At £25 it’s not going to break the bank, but with rock star proportions like these, you’re going to feel pretty god damned expensive!

From DKNY this shining beauty is set with Swarovski crystal and has a stunning grey mother of pearl dial. It’s actually very understated, but that dial is a winner and will reflect the lights of a glitterball at 50 paces. It's available at Selfridges, London, price £125.

Part 2 coming soon...!
