Sexy Sequins for New Years Eve



6 Ways to Wear Sequins on New Year's

Few things are as synonymous with New Year's Eve as sequins. Coming at the tail end of the holidays, right before winter's deep freeze, New Year's Eve is a time to celebrate dazzling promise and hope. 


To ring in 2013 properly, you need to narrow down your options from the many overdone sequined dresses out there. To do that, you need to understand what’s popular this season.



Fit to a 'T'


The beauty of this silver stunner by Adrianna Papell is that rather than being too tight, it is slightly roomy like your favorite crew neck T-shirt. The cap sleeves give great coverage as well and help to create a balanced silhouette. This is not only universally flattering, but will leave room for dancing throughout the night.





Rose Colored Glasses


A surprising color choice for New Year's is light blush wine. Rarely seen in sequin form, this rosy shade looks great with any hair color and classic red lips. This dress, by Rubber Ducky, will play up great legs while keeping things modest on top with three-quarter length sleeves.  Here are some more dresses like this one from Rubber Ducky.





Refined Disco


You can bring some Studio 54 glam to a New Year's party with a gleaming gold mini dress set off by unexpected split bat-wing sleeves. This is a great look for someone who likes to add a little more sophistication to a party dress.







Demure Dazzler


For ladies who prefer a more understated look, this dress is a perfect choice.   The combination of a burnished gold sequined bodice and a cream chiffon skirt will provide just enough flash when the lights go down for the ball drop.






Midnight Mesh


Inky black sequins make anyone’s curves look great in this dress by ASOS. It is a deep plunge dress that both busty and smaller chested women can wear, thanks to the modest panel of black mesh.   This look is both sexy and classic look that will for sure turn some heads.





Confetti Drop


For more formal affairs, nothing captures the moment when the confetti falls quite like this special dress from David's Bridal. A ruched sash wraps over a sweetheart neckline to provide dramatic asymmetry. Pewter sequins fade from clumps to flurries down the lines of a dove gray chiffon gown. Side slits provide plenty of opportunities to flash a little leg.   You can find more dresses like these at David’s Bridal.








No matter what dress you decide to go with, remember that leaving out the sequins is just as bad as toasting 2013 with an empty champagne glass!

Magical Marion Cotillard and her Best Red Carpet Looks


It's a lazy day here in Denver.  I'm heading back home late tonight, and have so much to do this week.  It's always so hard to go back to work after vacation.  W Magazine is one of my favorites because they always have some interesting photos that are definitely a bit darker than other publications.  This month they feature beautiful actress Marion Cotillard on their cover.  She looks fabulous, (very avant garde photos), but I love the feature they did on her red carpet looks.  She seems to be a huge fan of Dior.  Which is your favorite?

Watch-a Doin?


It's time to start looking for great Christmas gifts, now that November 1 is approaching.  One of the best gifts in my opinion is always a great watch.  I love my Michele more than anything I own (for reals), but like to have a few options.  Check out what's new for the gifting season.

Christmas Is For Cobalt


Good morning!  I hope you had a fabulous Friday night!  I'm out of school for two weeks and I'm thrilled!  Today's agenda?  Shopping, cleaning, etc.  What about you?

One color I'm loving this season is cobalt blue.  It looks great with black and gives that pop that is so needed on dreary days.  It also looks great on a wall, or as an accent piece.  What do you think?
