It’s officially the holiday season! As we decorate our living spaces with bright holly and cheerful trimmings to soften the cold weather outside, don’t forget to carry that sparkle over to our style. Below are some fun metallic holiday fashion trends for 2013, pieces to carry the holiday cheer throughout the season—and as always our roundup is from the brightest picks of eco fashion. 

1. Cream Eye Shadow by RMS Beauty

RMS Beauty is a top natural beauty line created by celebrity makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift. These simmering eyeshadows are made with ingredients that support natural beauty and promote long-term health. Made with raw mineral pigments, these cream eye shadows double as a moisturizer for your lids because rms Beauty is all about the “synergistic interchange” between their products and your skin. Packed in recyclable glass containers with an air-tight lid to preserve freshness, these cream eyeshadows won’t dry out.

2. Manta Ray Ring by Alkemie

Alkemie jewelry is one of our favorites. Run by a husband and wife team based out of Topanga Canyon, in California, they are continually inspired by the nature around them. Alkemie jewelry is made from 100% reclaimed metals, and handmade in Los Angeles. This ring of a Manta Ray is a reminder of the inherent value in spending time with yourself, and being peaceful in your own skin—just like the Manta Ray.

It’s time to give peach a chance. This color complements most skin tones and goes really well with denim.

Fall is all about bright color. If you’re not into hot pink, fire-engine red or Kelly green, give peach a chance — it’s one of those hues that go well with most skin tones. It’s also a perfect complement to denim blues, which is what really makes it one of our current faves. Try a pretty tie-neck blouse or a highly versatile vest/dress as your base, then toughen up the look with a brightly patterned blazer, a sparkly stone, some deceivingly sweet moccasins and some peach-colored bamboo sunnies. If you’re just feeling like adding a touch of peachiness to the mix, try a patterned bag with peachy details.
