Why Not Do a Little Dazzle?

After a lot of inspirational posts from many a lovely blogger, my senses have now turned to the thought of not being afraid to sparkle. Or at least letting your clothes sparkle. In my Spring fashion review for VOX, I noted sequins and many other glitzy accessories were runway staples. So I thought, why not practice what I preach?
Take a look at these glammed-up editorials. Whether it's a subtle accessory, or the outfit itself, each look inspires dazzle.

Let's not forget about the addiction-worthy Balmain!

While we're on the topic of lovely, shiny things, I stumbled across this contest. A director from the LuShae Jewelry site told me that "The competition is drawn every month and there are no limitations on the number of entries or how long you can remain entered..." The odds seem pretty fair. Why not frost yourself for free? (technically by winning)...

Inspired to Ice yourself yet? ;)

Take Me Away...

Though this editorial is a bit old, every time I look at it, I'm inspired to become more of a globetrotter than a jet setter. I'm talking about "Spirited Away", an editorial in Marie Claire's November 2007 featuring Kate Walsh. Though I've always thought of the magazine as a "softer" type of high-fashion magazine, I was really blown away by the inspiring styles, yet thoughtful-almost intellectual locations. I guess you could call it "smart fashion."

"Today’s young traveler takes the high road," it reads. "Forgoing waves in Malibu for enlightenment in Bhutan. Her style? A global mix of luxe fabrics and timeless patterns."





I think this one is my favorite.
















How about you? Loving it or hating it? Bored or inspired?
