Sequins Galore

Hello everyone! I am sorry it has been so long between school, work and being sick things have been pretty crazy. I hate its been so long since I've posted. Hopefully with school calming down for a bit, I will be able to get back to posting on a regular basis. So lets get back to it.

As you can tell by the name of my blog I LOVE sequins they are so shimmery and sparkley. Those are two of my favorite things. I have been seeing sequins on everything lately, shirts, jackets, pants, skirts, leggings and shoes. Adding a little sparkle to you wardrobe goes a long way. You don't need a lot, because then it becomes over whelming. By pairing a sequin shirt or sequin jacket with a pair of jeans and heels, you've got instant glamour. What a fabulous way to add a little sparkle this holiday season. You can also pair sequin leggings with a long solid color tunic and booties and you've got a great date night outfit (remember leggings are not pants, so your shirt needs to cover your bum). So go on girls and boys and add a little sparkle to your life.

Update

New post coming soon. I have missed writing but have been so busy with school and work I just haven't had time. Can't wait to post and will do soon.

Much love and sunshine!

Ja-ja-jaded

I love painting my nails. I try to keep them painted all the time, and I am always looking for new fun colors instead of the same old pink or red. The color I have been noticing alot in the magazines and on celebrities is Jade. It is a light/pale green. And yes I know what your thinking, this color looks like it should be worn during the Spring. Well, not so much. You don't have to wear only dark colors in the winter and light colors in the Spring, mix it up ladies...and gentlemen. This Jade color is perfect to brighten up any fall wardrode. My favorite shade of this color is by Chanel, and I mean how could you not love anything by Chanel...I die (love me some Rachel Zoe). So go on ladies....and gentlemen get out there and get that cheery color, put it on your nails and brighten up these dreary fall and winter days.

Sick

Hey guys, I'm sick today so no post. But stay tuned.

Much love and sunshine

Sorry it's been so long

Hello everyone. I am sorry it has been so long, between school and work I just haven't had time to post. I am going to try to start posting at least 3 times a week. There will be a new post tomorrow so please stay tuned.

Much love and sunshine!

Pretty Woman Walking Down the Street

This is one of my favorite movies. And what makes it so great, well besides Julia and Richard? Her boots of course! Not only are they fabulous looking, but you can also use them as a purse (wink, wink). These over the knee boots are the latest fashion craze. You can pair these with a simple t-shirt and jeans or a short mini. Wearing these great knee high boots with skinny jeans and a blazer is a great way to look fabulous this fall. Taking this from Rachel Zoe, my second favorite person, Victoria Beckham is first, on her daily email I got about knee high boots she says to "use them as alternative to tights or leggings" which I think is so awesome. She gave one option of putting them together with "an oversized sweater and shorts" which I am so going to try. I don't really do the shorts thing but I am trying this one. They can get a little pricey but I believe this is a great investment and worth the splurge. Below are pictures of a splurge and a steal.

The first is the Gucci Over the Knee Boot, worn by Victoria Beckham at the Fashion's Night Out in New York City. Obviously these are the splurge they go for a mere $2950. But aren't they fabulous?!!!!

The second is from the Jessica Simpson Collection, Tulip knee high book in Black Cashmere Leather. These are a steal at $198. I have seen these in person and they are awesome. So cute and at a great price. Most of the shoes I own are Jessica Simoson's, I highly recommend her collection. Great style at a great price.

Are you ready for some football?

Well its that time, football is here again. Woohoo I am so excited, I love me some football. Go Titans! I especially love football atire. I own several jerseys, shirts and jackets. They are so fun to wear, I love supporting my team. Now, you might be thinking um...football clothing is not cute or fun to wear, but oh honey you are so wrong. They make jerseys, shirts and jackets specifically for women. They are made to fit our body shape, which is so awesome.

My favorite is a line by Alyssa Milano called Touch which includes tops, hoodies, jackets, pants, jewelry and accessories.

You can get any of them with your favorite team on them. I am so glad that someobody finally came out with a line like this for women, because men aren't the only ones who love football. Below are some of my favorite looks I totally love the jeans, I didn't know she had these. These are so awesome. I will definitley get me a pair of these. I love how she makes everything look so girly and feminine and not manish. So I hope you enjoy these great football looks as much as I have. GO TITANS!!!

Tonight

Hey everyone sorry it's been so long but coming tonight is a new post woo woot!!! So stay tuned for a fun post.

Long time no see

Hello all,
I am sorry I haven't posted in a while. I promise a new post is coming soon. With work, school just starting and The Celebration Horse Show going on, I have been very busy. So please stay tuned for new fun fashion posts.

Much love and sunshine!

The Rachel Zoe Project

I watched The Rachel Zoe Project last night for the first time, and let me tell you it is the best show EVER. My sister couldn't believe I had never seen it. I used to work nights alot and didn't watch Bravo alot so I never really saw it. But ho my, I will never miss it again. She is amazing, awesome and so talened. I just love her so much and her employees are huh-larious. I highly recommend this show, it comes on Monday nights at 9 on Bravo, trust me you won't regret it.

Much love and sunshine

P.S. You can go to her website and sign up to receive daily emails from her.

Leggings, leggings everywhere!!!

As I am sitting here watching Project Runway All-Star Challenge, I am noticing that most of the models are coming down the runway wearing leggins. And as I begin to think about it, I have seen leggings everywhere, in all the magazines, stores and runways. But I am not talking about the plain black and brown leggings oh no honey, I am talking about bright colors and lots of design, including florals, plaids, and abstract. Leggings can be worn with shirts, dresses, sweaters, skirts and even a really cute coat. But leggings DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT take the place of pants. So when you are picking out one of these to pair with leggings please make sure it is an "appropriate" length. Nobody wants to see, mhm how can I put this nicely, nobody wants to see your Britney. And girls, don't be scared to buy that floral pair of leggings or ripped pair of leggings just pair it with a simple shirt and you will be good to go. I hope you take advantage of and enjoy all of the fun leggings that are out this fall to choose from. (leggings Forever 21)

The little plain "t"

Every girl should own little plain t's. Colors I recommend are white, black, and grey. These shirts go great with jeans and heels or boots and fabulous chunky jewelry. Because you are wearing a simple plain t-shirt you can dress it up with big and loud jewelry. A great statement piece like a big ring, necklace or big cuff bracelet adds just the right touch. You could also layer alot of simple necklaces or add a big scarf. By doing any of these you can turn that simple, plain t and jeans into a fabulous outfit. (shirts forever 21)

Sorry

Sorry for no post today, was very, very busy. Will post tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Tip Of The Day

Hollywood Fashion Tape is a girl's best friend. I bought a dress a couple of months ago and had a hard time keeping it up because it was strapless. I remember seeing Hollywood Fashion Tape and I didn't actually think it would work but let me tell you IT DOES!! It is a great investment every girl should make. It will keep strapless clothing up, button up shirt's that may have a hard time staying closed, closed. It can pretty much do anything you want it to do. So I strongly suggest you invest in this awesome product, you WON'T regret it.

ME

This is a plug for me and one of my fave boutiques J.Jordan's. This was a brand new dress they had just gotten in. I was trying it on and she wanted to take a picture of me, well I didn't think much about it until I got her weekly email and there I was woot, woot. I was so excited. Anywho, I know it's not much but it made my day. If you are interested in this dress I know she still has one availiable it can be worn as dress or with leggings, which was how I wore it. Enjoy!

P.S. Just got invited to join the Gilt Groupe, yay!

My first time

This is my first blog ever. I have always been nervous about starting a blog because I didn't think I could do one. My life is not that interesting and I am not a great writer, but there is one thing that I love and am good at...fashion. So this blog will be about fashion.

This blog will contain fashion news, advice and tips. My do's and dont's, frugal finds, pick of the week and weekly poll.

Tomorrow will be my first real blog, so stay tuned for all of the great things ahead for Sequins and Stilettos.
