PUTTING ON THE GLITZ

I'm a girl who has a bit of an obsession with all things glam and glittery. So I guess it makes sense why I'm still in awe over Sara Steiner's lovely editorial, "Putting on the Glitz," for The Sunday Times Style. And as usual, I felt so inspired by the feminine frocks and eye-catching jewels that I conjured up a Style Set of some debonair looks that emulate the vintage-inspired editorial!

VIVA LA CARMEN

My mind screamed "Carmen!" when I spotted this editorial--the name being that of one of my favorite black classic films

 with Dorothy Dandridge & Harry Bellafonte. It's a scandalous love story of a vibrant and stunningly attractive woman 

who lures a handsome military soldier to fall in love with her

--thanks to her gorgeous looks, witty charm & sweet words. 

Sounds pretty provocative, I know. But it's amazing! lol

I'm not sure if this was Alexander Neumann's source of inspiration for this 1960s-inspired "Maybe Tonight" editorial, 

but I'd like to think that Carmen had something to do with it. 

Model Cris Urena truly captured the va-va-voom persona of the film, 

and whether you're familiar with it or not, you've got to agree that these photos are all around stunning!

Because I've been in such awe of DANNIJO jewelry lately, I decided to put together some looks that are a perfect fit for the line's decadent gems. Any of these glamorous statement pieces can be one heck of an upgrade for just about any look! What do you think of these "Decadent Darling" ensembles?
