When it comes to Christmas, people largely fall into two catagories. The first book up the ice rink at Somerset House months in advance, count down the days until Starbucks red cups hit stores (guilty) and spend their days at the office dreaming of mulled wine and open fires. The second avoid Oxford Circus until well after New Year, shudder at the merest hint of a carol and spend their days at the office dreaming about fleeing to a remote tropical island, where no one’s ever heard of a mince pie. But whichever camp you fall into, you just can’t deny that nothing perks up those darkening December afternoons like a large dose of festive sparkle. This is a sentiment shared by high end designers and high street stores alike who have pulled out all the stops this season to bring us collections more bedazzled that the entire cast of TOWIE put together. From Miu Miu’s cult glitter boots to Stella McCartney’s sporty metallic dresses, head-to-toe bling has never looked so chic. It’s high time to try high shine and whatever your budget, body type or level of bravery, I guarantee there’s a glittery something out there for you.
