All that glitters is not gold

I saw some gorgeous sparkly dresses on Net-A-Porter and I thought I should share with you- for all of you  fashionistas who like to party, here are some beautiful pieces to inspire and indulge your senses in.

Rachel Gilbert Paige bow sequin dress. What a beauty! I love the 2 shoulder bows and the sweetheart neckline with the tank-top look. Don’t be afraid to wear it during the day to a cocktail party, you can shimmer your way through the drinks to the admiration of every pair of eyes in the room.

Sass & Bide Going it Alone dress. Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clark never make mistakes. Every garment they make is strong and sexy. This strapless frock is flattering- it molds to your torso, cinches your waist with a pin-stripe bow and flares out around your hips with just the right amount of sparkles. Another high-recommended dress!

Sonia Rykiel sequin embellished dress- definitely on my lust-have list. This is a classic, nude is flattering on any skin tone. The origami bow nipped at the waist is very dramatic. The sequins used here are the small metallic ones, so the dress is probably not light, no need to go to the gym then.

YSL sequin strapless jumpsuit. This is rather reminiscent of Giorgio Armani’s tailoring. I love the velvet bow around the waist. I am a big fan of bows and jumpsuits. Plus this is a harem-style jumpsuit, tres chic!

Rachel Gilbert again- her Lindsay sequined satin dress. Cute neckline- very frivolous, love the diamond detailing. This dress would be cute to wear during the day with black footless tights. Gotta make the most of the sparkles!

Girls, shimmer on!
