Holiday Styling Tips: Sparkle

For this edition of Holiday Style Tips, Alicia from Word of Alicia and I are sharing tips on adding Sparkle to your Holiday look!

Sparkle is one of the things I think of when I think Holidays. Twinkling lights, shiny silver and rich gold all add to the sparkle of the Holidays.

A Sparkly Icy Holiday look with shiny silver and sparkly glass stones is perfect for the Holidays. It can easily be done in a few simple steps.I

1. Start with the Sparkle

Add a lil Sparkle by pairing gorgeous sparkly jewelry pieces with a light wash chambray button up! The Ice Cold Collar Necklace and Icy Gaze Bracelet by mark are PERFECT for creating sparkle for the Icy look! They both have clear and sapphire-colored glass stones along with silvertone metal. The light wash color of the chambray really makes the sapphire-colored stones pop!

2. Showcase the Sparkle

Make the sparkle the main focus of your look by pulling your hair up into a sock bun. I cheat and use a form I found while on a shopping trip to Walmart to create the bun. I never could quite master the bun using an actual sock! The form makes creating the bun a WHOLE lot easier!

3. Keep the Icy Feel

Continue with the icy feel by adding a pair of white denim jeans. To protect the white jeans from the slushy, snowy ground, add a tall pair of brown riding boots.

mark has a similar pair of brown riding boots, the mark. Go For A Ride Boots.

4. Add a Pop of Pattern

Create a lil visual interest by adding a pop of pattern with a leopard skinny belt.

The complete look is a casual, yet chic, Icy Holiday look accented with GORGEOUS Sparkle!

Alicia’s Styling Tips: “Add sparkle with a major sparkly piece, then add a little more!”

“Tis’ the season to sparkle brightly with major statement sparkle like the mark. Chain Reaction Necklace. Showcase your statement sparkle piece. Do that with a solid color base and a neckline that highlights the piece. Finish off your look with more sparkle, then more sparkle, and then even more sparkle! (try the mark.
