Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue – yes, we’ve heard of the infamous wedding tradition. And, as Cosmopolitan Bride shows us, what better way to add ‘something blue’ to your day than to stylishly incorporate it into your colour scheme.

Replicating the style of a real life bride who opted for a chic colour palette of blue and ivory, Cosmopolitan Bride showcases ideas from a bold sapphire gown for your bridesmaids and, for a more subtle hint of pale blue, features Glitzy Secrets Something Blue Wedding Hair Comb.

We take a look at five simple, effective and stylish ways to add a splash of colour to your wedding…

1. Flowers - A block colour posy is perfect for a burst of colour or mix white or ivory flowers with blooms in your chosen shade. Alternatively add a coloured ribbon to your bouquet.
2. Wedding Jewellery and Hair Accessories - Add subtle colour with coloured jewels. A particularly effective look for bridesmaids.
3. Bridesmaids Dresses – Go for a striking look with coloured bridesmaids gowns in various coordinating shades of your chosen colour.
4. Wedding Cake – A fabulous wedding cake deserves to be noticed. Choose a colour, decorations, flowers or ribbon that ensure it’s centre of attention.
5. Favours – Never let wedding guests forget your stylish wedding with chic favours which incorporate your wedding palette.

The Golden Globes never fails to dazzle with a touch of good old fashioned Hollywood Glamour and, as Now magazine shows, it’s never been easier to steal the stars style. With Damanges star Rose Byrne adorning her forties style waves with a diamond (yes, diamond!) hair accessory, Now shows us how to ‘get the look’ and features Glitzy Secrets Leaves of Love Hair Clip as their pick of the high street must-have hair clips.

Of course, as Kate Hudson proved, it doesn’t necessarily take diamonds to sparkle on the red carpet. Opting for timeless class, Kate’s dramatic pearl chandelier earrings made a sophisticated style statement. Now shows how to get her look with their pick of the prettiest pearls out there and features Golden Beau Earrings by Glitzy Secrets. So you may not have graced the red carpet but at least you can look at though you did. And, hey, there’s always next year! 

With the UK suffering from the coldest winter in 13 years, we can hardly be blamed for having a touch of the ‘January Blues’. Bella magazine’s double page spread on fabulous vibrant blue fashion and accessories features Glitzy Secrets Tantalisingly Turquoise Earrings and is certain to help you brighten the bleakest of days. Of course, this cold, wintery weather can make us all a little colour shy so, if you can’t be parted from your black and grey wardrobe just yet, forget bright top-to-toe colour and opt for a bold accessory – a pair of chic killer heels, a ‘piece’ of bold fashion jewellery or a clutch bag.

And let’s not forget, although the thought of hot sunny days seems quite a way off, turquoise jewellery is a savvy investment and the perfect addition to your jewellery box as it’ll see you through to Spring / Summer in chic style.

Sometimes we all need to borrow Santa’s little helper to give us a hint of inspiration with choosing the perfect Christmas gift. Luckily, Reveal magazine has done all the hardwork for us this year so Santa’s little helper can take a well earned break. 

Carol’s Web Wonders features a fabulous selection of gift ideas for everyone and every budget. Carol Vorderman says “Whatever your budget this Christmas, I’ve found some fab ideas. Whether treats for your girlfriends, boyfriends, mums, dads and all the other on your list, check out my picks for inspiration…”.

And because every stylish woman should wake up on Christmas morning to discover a chic blush pink and black Glitzy Secrets gift box in her stocking, Glitzy Secrets Treasured Heirloom Necklace, £49.50, features in the Gifts for Under £50 – the perfect pressie for that oh so glamorous someone special who adores gorgeous costume jewellery.

So, we’re off to grab our copy of Reveal, our laptop, a comfy chair and a glass of wine. Yes, we’re off to do a little Christmas shopping in luxurious style. Not a crowded shopping centre or car park in sight – now that’s why we adore e-tail therapy!

The festive season simply wouldn’t be complete without luxurious, decadant jewel tone fashion and jewellery. Best magazine’s double page extravaganza showcases vibrant fashion ideas in divine jewel colours from rich emerald and radiant ruby to alluring amethyst and striking sapphire. Featuring Glitzy Secrets Strictly Scarlet Earrings, Green Goddess Earrings and Sapphire Style Hair Comb, Best says “Go glam like celebs in the most sumptuous jewel colours to be seen on the high street”. While the celebrities featured look fabulous dressed top-to-toe in a jewel tone shade, the more colour-shy will prefer to accessorize their favourite LBD with bright fashion jewellery and a pair of killer heels or a cute clutch bag. Whether you go full hilt in colour or accessorise in style, jewel tone fashion, jewellery and accessories will ensure you make an impact thoughout the party season.

New mum Coleen Rooney always looks oh so chic. Known for mixing high street with designer labels, her effortless style combines up-to-the-minute trends with classic chic. OK magazine shows how to get Coleen’s look with key items and accessories and features Glitzy Secrets Garland of Love Headband. This simple, understated ’piece’ is the perfect hair accessory to steal of the style of one of our favourite WAGS.

We take a look at why the headband deserves its status of the hair accessory of the season…

1. Great for all hair lengths. From holding back long luscious locks with style to adding adornment to a chic crop, it works fabulously for every length.
2. Growing out a fringe? A headband is a must-own for holding it back during those awkward in between stages.
3. Statement hair combs and barrettes can be heavy to secure in finer hair types – a head band is the perfect alternative to add bold decoration without having to be fixed in the hair.
4. It’s the perfect wedding hair accessory for bridesmaids. If you’re going for matching style for all your attendants, it can be difficult to find an accessory which works for every hair type and length. Headbands are the answer to your prayers!
5. Some brides wouldn’t contemplate their wedding day without a traditional tiara, others want an alternative. The headband provides a modern twist and a look with resembles the tiara but with less formality.

So if it’s good enough for Coleen, it’s good enough for us. Now where is that wishlist for Santa?!!!

The gorgeous Cheryl Cole certainly has the X-Factor and, on last Saturday’s show, her fabulous jewelled head band made her sparkle even more than usual (if that’s at all possible!). Always one of the first to pick up on an emerging trend, The Sun says “We may be all about Dannii’s versatile barnet at the moment, but her fellow X Factor judge Cheryl Cole certainly is not to be ignored in the hair stakes. Last week’s gorgeous Versace Grecian dress was teamed with a stunning Jenny Packham crystal-covered hair accessory. At £350 it certainly is not cheap, but we have found five other statement hair pieces that will give you a little taste of INSTANT Cheryl-chic.”

Featuring both Blooms of Extravagance Large Hair Comb and Vintage Paradise Head Band by Glitzy Secrets, it’s never been easier to give luscious locks the X-Factor.

With the sheer choice of wedding hair accessories available, a tiara is no longer de rigueur.

Regardless of the accessory of choice, every bride deserves to sparkle and a dramatic hair piece is the perfect finishing touch to any bridal hair style.
