TREND Think metallic acces-
sories and oversized sunglasses. If
you think you aren't the sparkly
type — you're simply wrong. You
can add some razzle-dazzle with
bronze, gold, silver or copper. The
golden rule? Everyone must have at
least one pair of metallic flip-flops,
and it doesn't hurt to complement
them with an oversized bag in a
glittery hue. And whether they
bring to mind the Olsen twins or
Jackie 0, oversized shades — for
any age — equal glamour.
