This streetstyle picture, snapped by Tommy Ton during the recent men's fashion weeks, I think is so stunning. First of all, her eyebrows look amazing. And secondly, this is the perfect example of how a gorgeous pair of statement earrings can easily take a look from casual to more dressy. And that is my favourite kind of "dressing up", really.

Oscar de la Renta earrings
I absolutely love a good pair of large earrings but seeing as it's something I don't really wear every day I think it's best to pick up those kind of items during sales season. And so my SALES top pick of the week: Oscar de la Renta square gold-plated crystal clip earrings, now with 40% off, here. And you can find more designer statement earrings (on sale) below.

Mercantia GIVEAWAY (x2)
Another item included in the Fash n Chips December GIVEAWAY is a fabulous Mercantia 'Nappa' bracelet!
Designed and produced in Italy, all Mercantia items are colourful and original. Mercantia uses materials and colours in a unique way to fuse different styles - from eccentric and irreverent to sophisticated and minimalisic.
And because it's SO pretty, and so perfect for the festive season we are finding ourself in right now, we are ALSO giving away this pair of earrings (as shown above) WITH a Mercantia 'Nappa' bracelelet in a whole seperate giveaway. So, to be in with a chance of winning the Mercantia 'Nappa' earrings WITH the Mercantia 'Nappa' bracelet leave a comment BELOW with your name and email address. A winner will be randomly picked on December 23rd, so this gives you just 6 DAYS to participate (and therefore possibly a bigger chance on winning?)
You can also STILL enter the big Fash n Chips December GIVEAWAY by leaving a comment with your name and email address here. A winner will be picked on December 20th. Good luck!

Marble earrings
I picked up these marble look ear studs from & Other Stories last week. I don't wear earrings that often at all but I just couldn't resist these cuties. They can add a subtle finishing touch to an otherwise simple outfit.

A bit of sparkle
I guess sparkles don't really exist in my wardrobe - or dictionary for that matter - but with the Holidays right around the corner I thought that for this shoot I could give them a go. Just a little bit. For those of you who know me or have been following my blog for a while, you may have noticed that besides not sporting a lot of sparkle I don't really wear dresses all that much either. So this fitted sparkly dress was actually a little out of my comfort zone but worn with my favourite big coat it still felt quite 'me'. - Happy weekend-before-Christmas, everyone!
Look 1: Bastyan dress, COS coat and Céline bag. Look 2: COS sweater and coat, Zara trousers and H&M clip earrings.
