Do you tend to go BOLDER with your accessories than with your gown??
An accessory can serve multiple purposes. Whether you’re enhancing your undertones or bringing prominence to your best feature — having the right accessory is crucial. If your gown is the focal point, then accessories are the cherries on top! They elevate and dazzle, bringing the entire look together. Here are seven accessory must-haves for your next gala event!
First Up… Sculptural Heels
Do you enjoy shoe shopping more than dress shopping? Then these heels are one of YOUR accessory must haves!
Sculptural heels add an architectural touch and they pair well with a chic, yet understated ensemble. Not to mention– they’re fabulous to walk in! Pair one of these showstoppers with a tailored two-piece set or a quiet, ethereal gown!
Embellished Belts
Do you feel uneasy without a defined waistline?
Whether your gown is billowy and Grecian or spunky and tailored– an embellished waist belt flatters and wows at the same time! It also adds a feminine edge to a boxy, suited ensemble!
Tiny Evening Bags
Baggage doesn’t look good on anyone especially at a gala event!
Every woman needs a tiny designer handbag in her wardrobe. Find one of these tiny conversation starters for those nights when your phone, card and keys are enough! (Isn’t that all we really need these days anyway?)
Statement Earrings
What better way to frame the face then with a memorable pair of statement earrings? While the gown is the central focal point, large earrings create a visual balance, drawing attention upwards toward the face and hair. You never want the gown to draw attention away from your gorgeous face!
Exquisite Headpieces
COMMAND the room with a one-of-a-kind headpiece.
Headpieces are fiercer and wilder than ever before. Whether you want to go classic with a flapper-esque fascinator hat or embrace the modern, abstract forms– you’re destined for a bold and memorable look.
Platforms
Some women are regal and glamorous. Some are understated. And there are the more eccentric types who are just plain funky! If this is you, you can’t go wrong with a bold pair of platform heels—just make sure you break them in before the night of your event! 😉
Pearls, Pearls, and More Pearls!
Pearls have made a luxurious comeback. This once darling trend has reemerged in a daring, yet modernized way.
