It’s all about the bling in this stunning Glamour US February 2014 editorial. Photographer Jennifer Livingston focuses all the attention on the accessories by cropping out the face and most of the clothing. Even though most of model's face is cut out of the frame, her exuberant beauty still shines through in the form of a large, expressive smile.
There is very little you can say about the clothing in this Glamour US February 2014 accessories shoot, except that what you can see of it is bright and makes for a great backdrop for the real stars of the shoot. More is more when it comes to the jewelry styling. The main themes to take away are big statements, bold jewel tones and stacking more than one accessory at a time.
