Metallic
Note this down: the metallic trend is still strong this season so look for anything from clothing to accessories in order to inject some shine on your outfit. I've picked some items that you will love and I've looked among high street and luxury brands, so there is something for any budget.You will find mostly bags and shoes because it is quite difficult to pull the Dee D Jackson look with all metallic. But just a flash is enough to cheer you up.
