Golden Globes: ACCESSORIES

Fabulous accessories are vital to any great look.  Check out these gorgeous accessories and their less expensive counterparts available right now on Badjoan.com...






Golden Globes: TRENDS

There were so many incredible dresses that came down the red carpet at last night's Golden Globes.  We noticed a couple of trends that really stood out and that you can get for less at Badjoan.com...

SPARKLE

Whether it was head to toe or just accents, there were a lot of sequins, beads, crystals and shimmer.  You don't have to be going to a red carpet event to add some shine to your wardrobe...


Go full shimmer with the Jagger Sequin Dress by Tt Collection; a great LBD that is covered in black sequins.  Or just go for a touch of shimmer with the Shrug Wrap by Jodi B Wise.  This piece can be worn as a halter top or as a shoulder wrap, both seen above.

ONE SHOULDER

This is the trend that keeps on giving!  One shoulder dresses aren't going out of style any time soon, maybe becuase they are totally fabulous and sexy, so jump on the band wagon with these fantastic finds...
