FABULOUS FAUX LOOKS Just like one of my favorite Prince songs, diamonds
and pearls are still huge winners in your special occasion arsenal. Don’t be
put off by a small budget if you’re looking to make a big impact with lots of
bling! You can find the shine within your budget, by looking for faux pearls,
rhinestones, and other imitation gems. If you’re going for a big presence at
your holiday parties or if you want to blind people on the dance floor at your
New Year’s Party, consider a large rhinestone cocktail ring. You can also
pick out different pieces with Swarovski crystals, which come in a variety of
colors and pick up light in an extraordinary way.
GLASS FOR MORE THAN A TOAST
One of the best sellers in
my online boutique, All Frills Beauty and Accessories (www.
allfrillsbeauty.com), are beautiful necklaces made with Murano
blown glass from Italy. It’s surprisingly inexpensive, but has
so many amazing colors that work perfectly for all of your less
formal events. There are several styles and brands of simple
glass earrings and necklaces that are light but will add a touch of
chic delicacy to your outfit. Be cautious when purchasing glass
charms for bracelets, since they often crack or shatter if you’re
doing anything other than sitting like a Christmas tree all day.
Remember, purchasing fun fashion jewelry and exploring different fashion looks is a great way to join
in the holiday spirit with flare for almost nothing. You can revamp your entire wardrobe for well under
$100 by getting a few different pieces that will go with several different outfits. Most importantly,
have some guilt-free fun this holiday shopping for yourself. For more on budget-friendly beauty and
