Accessorise All Areas: Glamorous Extras for Party Season

Party season is here - and with it, new wardrobe dilemmas. Dressing up is, all of a sudden, not only allowed but required. And nothing says "party attire" like glamorous accessories. And if you don't want to let go of your ethical principles, vegan leather accessories and cruelty-free fashion is readily available.

Little By Little Wedge 925 Sterling Silver Enamel Earrings

1. The earrings

Looking for a subtle hint of sparkle to add to your festive ensemble? Choose the Art Deco-inspired Little By Little Wedge 925 Sterling Silver Angle Enamel Earrings. This brand pays close attention to transparency and ethical labour - Little By Little are revealing about their supply chain and work towards more socially just processes for the jewellery industry. Wear these with a structured dress or a menswear-inspired suit for a barely-there touch of glitter.

2. The clutch

Sparkle and shine with the Miomojo Gemma Vegan Corn Leather Cross-Body Clutch in Bronze. This design is so chic, you'd never guess it's made from corn. Crafted from non-food grade parts of the corn plant, this style is lined with recycled plastic. Pair yours with a miniskirt and knee-high boots on a girls' night out.

BLOOM Paris Vegan Leather Pointed Toe Pumps Gold

3. The heels

Want all the festive flair without any of the discomfort of high heels? The BLOOM Paris Vegan Leather Pointed Toe Pumps in Gold are perfect for dance-all-night fashionistas: the demure 6cm heel is high enough to add sexiness but not so high that your feet will be suffering. Wear with your glitziest dress and whirl the night away.

Plus, it's responsibly made from recycled silver. Wear with no other jewellery to allow this piece to take centre stage.

Mela Luna Apple Leather Vegan Shoulder Bag in Raspberry

6. The handbag

Who said after-dark sophistication needed to be all black and metallics?

The gold-tone detailing keeps it glamorous, and the raspberry hue will make you stand out in a sea of black. Wear with an LBD to truly let the shade shine.
