Embracing the glitter !

I'm a girl who has always loved sparkle but at 36 I'm starting to think how much glitter can i still get away with ?
Will i end up growing old disgracefully ha. Probably is the answer to that one.
Anyway, it's xmas so i have an excuse. Here's a few photos of what I'm loving at the moment:

 Gold is a favourite as it's a little shimmery but still on the neutral side. Subtle yet still festive.

 Nail favourites are dark winter shades with a glittery top coat for added dazzle.

I wear this ring all the time. It was my mums engagement ring and i love it to bits. 

 Today's look from a distance is subtle but if you look closely?

 Of course there is a little glitter.

Under the lights it's holographic glitter all the way. It's only in certain lights though.
Will you be embracing the glitter this xmas???

    cbsg5861 thanks hun, it's MAC blankety x

    Raech Thankyou, it's one of my most treasured possesions, my mum passed away nearly 2 years ago and she loved this ring but rarely wore it because she was scared of loosing it as it was expensive. I always think it's such a shame as pretty things should be worn.
    I rarely take it off as it helps me feel close to her x

    MakeYuUp Ahhhh Kiss Kiss x

    I love your hairband in the first picture! I love the ring, and I love all of the sparkles! I think I'm finally going to go jump in the Rain Box (aka... "the shower") and then I'm diving into the sparkles! Thanks for the inspiration! xoxo
