Spring 2014 Trend: Embellishments.

One of the biggest trends for the upcoming season is full of glitter & glamour. It will make you stand out of the crowd and turn you into the most fashionable girl in town. I'm talking about embellishments. We have seen them in most of the biggest catwalks during fashion weeks and now this trend is here to stay - at night and even during day. Wearing embellishments on your clothes is now a question of making a statement and nothing to do with special occasions.
