Shimmer & Shine This Autumn

As September progresses I'm all about embracing the new AW trends and giving my wardrobe a new lease of life. I have been daring and purchased a pair of skinny black leather trousers to wear with a bejewelled blouse/chunky knit combo. However, I need the temperature to drop at least 10 degrees before I can attempt to wear my new look. But, I promise you I'm not hurrying this glorious Indian summer away.

Needless to say I am jumping on the Shimmer & Shine trend this season in the fashion stakes and I also think this trend dilutes brilliantly in to your home too. I do love it when fashion transcends in to home design.

It's grown up glamour, think silver and gold accents, sparkle and a touch of, dare I say it...glitter. But just keep it chic and classic. Here are my favourite rooms that subtly encapsulates the Shimmer & Shine trend for this autumn.

This room is all over this trend! Sparkling glass chandelier - check. Luxurious velvet sofa - check. Shimmering feature wall - check. Grey and black colour scheme, with hints of gold - check.

With clean white walls and matt gold accessories this sitting room is opulent yet understated.

(Left) A sofa full of cushions and throws really showcases this trend. A variety of grey shades in different fabrics, shimmering textiles and sequinned details, looks just fabulous!

The Shimmer & Shine trend can carry you through the seasons, it is not just a passing phase. With a classic colour palette and luxurious detailing, what's not to like?

Why not jump on board and add some stunning accessories in to your home to jump-start this trend. Here at Butterfly Lane we have the perfect investment pieces...
