Embellished and Jeweled Peep-Toe Pump

Add some holiday sparkle . . . to yourself!

The holidays are all about glitter and good cheer.  Add to that with these holiday party shoes; from glitter boots to bejewelled pumps! Are you ready to dazzle?

This season — and especially in the party-studded weeks leading up to the holidays — the bejeweled look is red-hot and glamorous.

But don’t limit your choices. Bejeweled looks are super trendy for day — you’ll find jewels and sequins studding everything from sweaters and tees to jeans, boots and handbags. And for evening, the sky’s the limit!

Yes, it’s definitely time to sparkle, and we’ve rounded up the best ways to shine right here in this special edition of our weekly fashion update.

GET GLAM ~ FEET FIRST!   
Jump into the cool jewels trend feet-first with a dazzling, bejeweled pair of to-die-for shoes or boots. By day, jeweled trims and brooch effects look spectacular when paired with ladylike mock croc or sleek suede pumps and slingbacks. If your style is more casual, you might prefer an oh-so-cool pair of boots bedecked with a touch of faux fur and a cluster of sparkling rhinestones. It’s very “LA” and just right for adding a touch of glam on cold winter days. And by night — pull out all the stops! Jewels, sequins and glittering embroidered details on sexy sandals and slides are absolutely required for an evening out on the town.

Trend Tip: 
Not sure which shoe or boot color to choose? If you want an option that will go with everything you own — and one that’s super fashionable as well — go with all-out metallic. By day or by night, shades of gold, silver, copper or bronze are stunning with everything from tweeds to denim to velvet. You’ll find that wonderful selections abound from Stuart Weitzman to Kenneth Cole to Chinese Laundry and all points in between.
