shimmer like a star!

 Embellished dresses are opulent and bursting with detail. Most of them are usually tastefully embellished with many glistering gems and beads. The attention to detail is key to the signature of a well-made dress. These elements become even more significant once you discover all of the tiny details sewn on by hand, most coming all the way from many foreign countries. if you want a cocktail dress full of sparkle, then a beautiful embellished number may be the way to go.

 Embellished dresses are great but make sure the dress itself is made in a breathable fabric, otherwise a liberal spray of antiperspirant may be required. There are also embellished tops, dresses and sandals, hand embellished with hundreds of beads and crystal - glitzy with-out the fuss of sequins. so ladies! shimmer like the star that you are!!!

SHINE ON!!!

 

 Glam it up!!! Perk up your outfit with the flickering of a brooch. A touch of adornment always enhances your style. Whether it is clipped to the bust or used to embellish the waist, the brooch is always a winner. Give every ensemble a feminine touch Brooch -fully decorated and encrusted with Crystals, Silver etc. Add a dash of drama with a bold, eye-catching brooch.  A brooch is a beautiful accessory for any occasion. So ladies, SHINE ON!!!
