"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate"
- Oprah Winfrey
Surprise! This Shimmer trend, yet again, revolves around self expression. For those of you who have not yet read the "Music To My Ears" article, this is a key theme within Fall/Winter 08/09 trends. The reason is that we live in a society where technology has allowed us to present ourselves to the world through reality television, video games, social networking sites, blogs, etc. People are not afraid of showing who they are to the public anymore. This can get quite scary (example, Rock of Love: Charm School 2) but none the less, I think it's a positive sign of the times.
The highlight of Shimmer is that it embodies self reflection and self celebration. The look? Anything that captures light. Color that shines and reflects. Fabrics and embellishments such as silk, satins, vinyl, glitter, sequins, crystals, gems, metallic, brocade...the list goes on and on.
Keep checking back for updates and specials about this trend.

HIGH FASHION
Naturally sparkle and glitz are abundant in evening wear, however this season Shimmer breaks through the night and bursts into day wear.
Bring a bit of glam into your social life. This look is perfect for lunch with the girls or a stroll through the office. Dior adorns silk with vivacious gems.
This tailored outfit would be perfect for the office to dinner transition. Oscar De La Renta, RTW includes hits of metallic shimmer.
Take a look at this stunning sequin dress by Isaac Mizrahi. Why not wear it to a pool party?

RETAIL
In search of a modern sequin top? Check out this striped top by French Connection, sold at Bloomingdale's.
J.Crew offers Shimmer in classy silhouettes and everyday liveable colors.
Perfect as a day or evening dress, this Vera Wang Lavender Label dress has an ingenious sheen. This is available at online retailer shopbop.com
There are so many retailers that carry sparkle this season it would be impossible to cover them all. However when you are out shopping for some glitz to liven up your wardrobe do consider Ann Taylor, Max Studio, Juicy Couture, Banana Republic, and Forever21.

ACCESSORIES
Shimmer is also abundant in accessories. Salvatore Ferragamo did an excellent job of adding the sparkle in a tasteful way.
No holding back with this metallic tote! This diamond quilt pattern truly helps dress down the bag. You can thank Marc Jacobs for this one. Sold at Bloomingdale's.
In search of bangles for night or day? check these out from Banana Republic and Forever21.
The best of both worlds. A Swarovski crystal border paired with the sporty band makes for a flexible watch. Freelook Swarovski Bezel Watch sold at Shopbop.com

HOME FASHION
I gathered just a few images for you to see how this trend has trickled into home fashion. You can see that most interpretations of the Shimmer trend were focused on a rich color palette of gold, bronze, and browns. However, silver is also prominent but this season it has an unexpected surface texture.
Mulberry Home printed metallic fabric pillow and chair. I love the contrast between the sleek silver and the rough texture of the brown fabric.
Z Gallerie Rictor pillow in beautiful rusts colors. Blissliving Home Audrey bedding adorned with bronze leaves and a sequined Sasha gold pillow.
Blissliving Home Glitter candles. I love these!
Z Gallerie photo frames with beaded texture catch light brilliantly.
CB2 mercury vases. This vase is actually ceramic dipped with a silver. Hence the unexpected surface texture mentioned earlier.

Wow Nico! This blog is amazing. I looked at it when you first got it going, and I was and am blown away by how much detail and expertise you put into this. You totally know what you are talking about and I am inspired to go out and buy a "shimmery" outfit for the holidays! I will look forward to future posts-- always good to attempt to stay on-trend in the print design world as well, which of course is influenced by everything you talk about. Kudos!
Ha! I originally posted this in the wrong section. Hi Thanks so much for the comments. Emily please I'd love to have you to share any graphic trends. I'm looking for some scouts who want to collaborate with me on these entries. You could be a graphic expert!
The business loans seem to be very useful for people, which want to ground their own business. By the way, it's not very hard to receive a commercial loan.
