It’s blue, and it’s brilliant! If you’re feeling blue, it’s going to be a great investment. The fashion forecast calls for blue from winter all the way through spring. In the winter months, you’re wearing this with patent leather. In the spring, it works with a nude strappy sandal. To make the color work without looking like a crayon walking down the street, play up one piece. Don’t do the all over brilliant blue - yikes. What do you think? Is this blue for you?

The Holiday season is upon us, and along with the holidays come the parties. This is the time to bring out your sparkle, shine, and shimmer. Who better to imitate than our favorite Sex And The City party girl - Kim Cattrall? The fabulous, sexy, steamy Ms. Cattrall wore this couture sequin dress (by Gilles Montezin) to an event a few months ago. She makes it look sultry and elegant, not slutty or trashy. To make sure you do the same, the dress should fit nicely. It should not be super tight, or you will look cheesy. The accessories can be gold, but stay away from anything too brassy. The jewelry should consist of earrings, no necklace, and a cuff. Let the dress be the focus, the rest should blend and not compete. Kim’s dress easily costs thousands of dollars, but Arden B. has a good alternative for $118.00. That’s a no-brainer! What a relief! You already have your New Year’s Eve dress.

The jumpsuit looks more modern than ever with its clean lines and fresh design. It’s the perfect piece to wear to a Holiday party. It’s sexy, in a refined Studio 54 way. When you move, it moves with you, when you dance, it dances with you, and it will accentuate your body beautifully. We’re going to show you three great ways to wear a jumpsuit.

Look #1

This is a fabulous look to wear to a dinner and dancing party. The gold accents make it festive, and the fabric has exquisite movement. The cut will work well on most body types, but especially on pear shaped girls. The bottom is more fluid, and it accentuates the waist.

Look # 2

This look lends itself to a cocktail party at a friends house. It’s relaxed and elegant. You’ll feel comfortable in your outfit and look sophisticated at the same time. Perfect!

Look #3

A jumpsuit that’s a little more tailored, which makes it well suited for more formal affairs. You can dress it up with diamonds, or gems. This jumpsuit doesn’t lend itself to pearls, it’s more modern than that, and needs the hard edge of diamonds.

Red is hot! It’s a symbol of power, prestige, and even danger. In many cultures the color red is thought to bring good luck. Do you need more reasons to carry a red bag? Ok, aside from what red means it’s also a great color for your wardrobe. If you’re like me, you don’t necessarily embrace red clothing. I’ve only had one or two red dresses in my life. However, I love a red handbag . It adds some spice to the basic black and charcoal. It makes jeans and a white t-shirt look classically refined. It’s a little more risky than the average bag, but it’s also a classic. So, what do you think? Do you want to get their attention? Do you want to exude confidence and strength? Can you see yourself carrying a red bag? Which one’s your favorite?

The skirt to have for Fall has a sassy silhouette. It’s full but fitted at the waist, enhancing our womanly curves. It’s a skirt that you’ll feel confident and comfortable in all day long. It looks great with opaque stockings, ankle boots, tall boots, or even ballet flats. The best part about this skirt is it’s flexibility. You can dress it up with a silk blouse or throw a belted cardigan on for a more casual feel. If you’ve got great stems, go for it in a mini. If you’re not as confident about your legs, choose a knee length version. It will come in all sorts of fabrics for fall, but we’re loving it in a tweed. Tweed is a substantial fabric that captures the feeling of Fall. Go grab your Fall skirt before they all sold out!

1. The Slouchy Boot
This sexy style boot looks great going into fall. Tuck in a pair of jeans, and throw on a long cardigan and you’re understated gorgeous.

2. Patent Leather
No need to put away your patent leather from spring, unless it’s in a spring color. Designers are shining up wool and cashmere with a pop of patent for fall.

3. Leather Bomber Jacket
The leather bomber jacket is also going strong into the fall. It will look great with a pair of jeans, a tee, wrapped with a scarf.

4. Ruffles
Ruffles remain! A ruffle top will look great under your leather bomber, or a long cardigan. Pair it with skinny jeans, some slouchy boots, and you’re on it!

5. Skinny Jeans
At times we all wish the skinny jean would go away, but you’ll be glad they’re around when it’s time to tuck them into your tall boots. So, don’t burn them yet!

6. The Clutch
Clutch it, because it’s clearly a trend that’s going to stick.

7. A Long Cardigan
It’s an easy style that’s low key and can work over anything. We’re seeing it well into fall. It looks great over jeans, or belted over a dress.

I’m sure none of us expected this blast from the past to return, but these asymmetrical pieces with goddess appeal are bombarding the style scene this summer!

Busy neckwear is a no-no with these cutting edge necklines, however, a pair of large statement earrings, an eye-catching ring and a dramatic clutch are a definite yes. For an evening event, tap into a darker, more glamorous look with a playful hint of metallics. And if you’re thinking about flaunting a one shoulder dress during a summer’s day, choose a lighter and brighter look, topping it off with some neutral espadrilles and a wicker clutch.

These single-strapped dresses are elegant, sexy, and versatile!

So, you have to buy a dress for an event this Spring, but you want a dress you can wear more than once. That’s not just pipe dream, it’s actually a real possibility. If you choose properly, you can wear the dress to the event and then easily wear it to dinner with friends on another night. Choose a style that is flirty but with simple modern lines. This Ella Moss passionate pink dress can easily be dressed up for a party, or dressed down for an evening out with friends.
For a dressier look, add an exaggerated evening trench, shoes with shine, dazzling dangling earrings, and a whimsical bag. To take the dress downtown, give it some mod details. Top it off with a cropped leather jacket, add some black accent pieces like shoe boots, bracelets, and a bag that brings it all together. This outfit looks great going to a club or a hot new restaurant. You may even consider going into your closet and checking out some of the dresses you have. Maybe they can make the transition from dressy to downtown.

A trend that stands the test of time, patent leather is still hot for spring. Designers continue to love the shiny shoe, and this season they’ve even added a pop of color to the stem. A black patent pump with a green heel creates a fresh feel. Patent isn’t only reserved for black; all colors are not only acceptable, but also encouraged. If you’re more of a neutral lady, then a flashy nude is perfect. So, whether you’re embracing the bold colors or the flesh tones - pair it with a patent.
