Happy New Year!
Here is some last-miunte party inspiration for New Year's Eve! I love the favor bags with the paper & glitter - so chic.
According to designer Elie Tahari, the best way to do sparkle is in a bright way. Incorporating whites with light sparkle is sure to make you shine. He recommends starting with a neutral white base, then building your glittery pieces around it - maybe add it through accessories. In an interview with Samantha Critchell, seen in the Times Daily, the designer speaks about sparkling:
'You might be marking another year on the calendar, but brightness and light is what keeps you looking youthful and your mood elevated, designer Elie Tahari said. You’ll get more bang from your bling if you start with white or at least colorful clothing instead of black, he explained.
“We are all looking for the same thing: light, truth and joy,” he said. “Light and sparkle — all that comes from within, but what’s on the outside is a reflection of the inside.”
So, Tahari asks, why not a beaded bag or glitzy shoe with your everyday, maybe even tired, navy or black outfit? Or, better yet, a sequin skirt. There’s no age restriction here, he says, just a playful attitude.
New Year’s Eve is the excuse to test-drive an oversized, vintage-inspired statement necklace or chunky chain bracelet that mixes sparkle with tough-girl tarnished metal or spikes, suggested Blythe Harris, chief creative officer of Stella & Dot.
After you’ve gotten compliments on the bold new look, you’ll be more willing to wear it again, she said.'
