Alison Johnson’s Sparkling Picks

All that glitters is gold! The 2014 winner for Most Fashionable Woman in the Valley (over 30) is Alison Johnson, fashionista and owner of Sparkling Events By Alison Johnson.

Johnson graduated from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in LA, then worked her way up through Ralph Lauren on Rodeo Drive, and couture and PR departments at Neiman Marcus Scottsdale, which involved a flurry of in-store charitable events and fashion shows. After several years as the Director of Distinguished Events at the American Cancer Society, planning high society events such as Jewel Ball, the Goldwater Family Picnic and the Picnic Under the Stars, Johnson has created her dream career – her own event company and the perfect mix of galas, parties, fashion and glitter.

Speaking of sparkling…here are Johnson’s current favorite sparkling items:

Valentino Rock Stud Tote – One word: AH-mazing! This is a classic style for Valentino and is made every season in different colors.

Kate Spade Glitter Bug Lacey – You won’t mind picking up the check if it means you get to whip out this fabulous wallet! 😉

Jimmy Choo Nova Sandals – Every woman should own these! They pair perfectly with skinny jeans or a ball gown, and they can be worn with silver or gold accessories, making them the most perfect staple item for your wardrobe!

Cardinals Sparkle Tank – For the girl who likes to sparkle on every occasion!

Miu Miu Crystal Aviator Sunglasses – The perfect way to finish your “look” with a touch of sparkle! These are several seasons old and hard to find, but occasionally they’ll pop up on eBay. Search: MIU MIU Wire Aviator Sunglasses with Rhinestones. Good luck!

Swarovski Vi Hoops Earrings – Stunning crystal pave hoops, perfect for mixing and matching with other jewelry.

Dublin Silver Metallic Skirt – This pleated metallic skirt is SO fun! You can throw it on with a tank in the summer or a sweater in the fall and instantly look runway ready! (Sold out but check back – rumor has it they may be restocking this skirt because it was such a HIT!)

Custom Bling Converse – Perfect way to spice up that casual look!
