Whether near or far from friends and family this festive season, you can make a star turn for all those in your orbit. What better way to be noticed across a socially distanced gathering than in shimmering finishes? For some, that may mean top-to-toe sequins for maximum impact; for others, a dazzling accessory may speak volumes. For lunches and dinners, how about a sparkling top or crystal earrings? After all, if those Zoom meetings taught us nothing else, it’s how to make an impact from the waist up. And if you still can’t be with those you love, make FaceTime more fun with a touch of facial glitter. However you spend the coming weeks, be sure to reflect on what’s important – and enjoy a dazzling festive season.
