Tis almost the season for holiday parties and gatherings and though I don’t typically need a reason to glitz it up, this time of year certainly offers them in abundance.

This bold red crystal necklace by ABS by Allen Schwartz is festive without being too Christmassy. It sells for USD$150 from Saks Fifth Avenue. The Some Like It Hot collection has matching earrings and bracelets and varying crystal colours. Consider yourself absolved from needing a reindeer sweater to mark the season.
