Glam It Up
Filed in: Accessories, Fashion, Handbags, Jewelry, Links, Shopping
When fall and winter come I find it easier to fall back into a more laidback look. Jeans with a plain old sweater is so much easier to put on when it’s cold outside than worrying about skirts and stockings. Even though many of us probably end up being a little lazier when it comes to style - there is help.
Adding a little something glamorous is really all you need. We’ve already seen Mary-Kate giving us the perfect example - a huge rhinestone necklace with a t-shirt. When stopping by Accessorize the other day I came across many glamorous clutches that would do the same trick. It’s really all about adding something glamorous enough to weigh the whole outfit to the other side.
On eBay you’ll find a lot of cheap alternatives for the rhinestone jewelry. The seller Aumum has some of them. You can get a big rhinestone necklace with matching earrings for £8. If you find a vintage one it’s even better because the silver has a more authentic look.
The clutches I saw at Accessorize can be ordered online for around £30 (only in UK and Ireland though). I especially fell for the clutch pictured below - it has a sort of Hollywood glam to it.

Gorgeous clutch.
And I think it’s high time we girls started rocking the tiara look again. There’s nothing like a beautiful tiara to make you stand out in a crowd ;) Think Breakfast at Tiffanys mixed with your ordinary wardrobe ;D

Tips til mer bling-bling inspirasjon: I sesong 6 brukte Carrie i SATC “diamant”-smykker til hveragsantrekket. Elsker den look`en! :)

I just linked to Monsoon on my blog even though I cannot shop from them. :(
I just love the site and hope they will ship elsewhere soon. That clutch is adorable.

[…] Filed in: Fashion, Magazines, Accessories When I wrote about glamming up casual outfits the tiara came up and I actually have a strong relationship to it. 2-3 years ago I saw this picture in a magazine. I don’t even remember what magazine it was, but I cut out the picture and saved it. It was the first sign I got that it was possible to wear tiaras even for those of us that aren’t princesses. After that photo I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect tiara of my own. It took me some time but I found it. […]

Cordelia, yeah I know, I promise I’ll get better at it. Sometimes I regret not shooting the bag because the outfit looks so much cooler with it. :)
