4 Accessories That Will Take Your Party Outfits Up A Notch

When it comes to putting together a party outfit, shoes are the most important accessory to have in your arsenal. A pair of high-impact heels that you can wear all night and won’t want to take off is especially important when your look relies on maintaining those extra inches of height. Our exclusive satin sandals from Herbert Levine are made for late-night gatherings, bringing a hint of sparkle to the dance floor. Meanwhile, Manolo Blahnik’s iconic ‘Hangisi’ mules are a modern-day take on Cinderella shoes that you’ll still be wearing after midnight.

If you’ve had your eye on a dazzling new piece to add to your fine jewelry collection, now is the time to invest in diamonds, gold and other precious gemstones. An exquisite pair of drop earrings or a pendant necklace will add extra wow factor to all your evening looks. Take, for instance, By Pariah’s diamond-encrusted cocktail ring, which will show off its sparkle every time you take a sip from your champagne glass. Elsewhere, Shay’s lariat-shaped emerald and diamond design will pair perfectly with a deep V-neck silhouette, while David Webb’s mesmerizing bangle delivers maximum impact for your very own magpie moment.
