So you’ve spent a coupla thousands on your perfect New Year dress… another few on slinky heels that match like heaven. Now you’ve reached a point where you can swipe no more - and you still need to buy stuff to take your dress from bore to score. If you’re stuck in this rut, walk out that door! No, seriously! The streets of the city house some of the funkiest (and cheapest) bling accessories. Get inspired…
Sarah Jessica Parker’s spent a bomb on that quilted Chanel clutch, no wonder she looks like a million bucks. So can you, without spending that much! Street stalls sell clutches in many colours and patterns; choose a pop coloured clutch for a subtle dress or a sleek black one for a printed dress.
Miss Parker inspires yet again. Add drama to a cocktail dress or that LBD with layers of chunky necklaces in beads and colourful stones; you’re sure to be the party starter!
Steal Rihanna’s classy superstar look… A bold beautiful bracelet is all she uses to accessorize her electric blue dress. Pick yours off the street in bronze, gold, or silver metallic hues.
Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu makes the best of cinched belts. Choose bright, studded ones from street-side stalls; they’re sure to glam up any monotone dress.
Becki Newton’s earrings add great fun to her purple dress. Choose big, colourful earrings in contrast with your dress colour…blue and greens go well with purple and pink, shades of red can be worn with yellow.
Who needs a diamond ring? Cocktail rings are the hottest trend this season, as Jamie-Lynn Sigler proves. And you don’t even have to swipe. Get chunky ones in faux gems for as less as Rs.100!
PS! The recommended accessories are available at most ‘fashion streets’ in the city. We picked these from Colaba Causeway, Mumbai.
