Some may say that sequins are “too flashy”, or “gaudy”, however I definitely beg to differ. Sequins can be tasteful, and if done in moderation always are appealing. When thinking of a sequined dress, I think, “infinitesimal shimmering lights being worn as a fashionable garment and undoubtedly eye-catching”. This season, I am wearing sequins galore! It is the right time (always the perfect time for me) to throw on that black sequined Alice + Olivia dress to go dance the night away. Stores like TopShop and H&M carry an array of sequins–fit for almost any occasion. Sequined dresses, skirts, headbands, belts, shoes, and even blazers are being made (heaven-on-earth). I also love to look through my mom’s vintage clothing or go to a vintage shop to look for cool sequined items–you will usually find a hidden treasure. Nevertheless, with anything, you can absolutely dress-down your choice of sequins. You can totally be just as glam while wearing sequined flats. Sequins are trendy, yet incredibly styling. Wearing sequins will make you feel like a superstar, and you will beyond question look like one!
This past Thursday, Project Runway completed its 6th Season with its finale runway show in Bryant Park. Every year, I anxiously await the start of a new season of Project Runway where two of my biggest loves: reality TV and fashion combine into one beautifully crafted and entertaining compilation. I idolize these designers who can create awesome designs under immense pressure and usually start my own DIY projects by using them as my inspiration. This year I had a lot of anticipation of the new season and was quickly disappointed week to week by the challenges and the cast of characters. I usually make sure to memorize first and last names of all the designers by the second week but this time I only knew the final fives name. I usually have my favorite personalities and my favorite designers who sometimes overlap, like Jeffrey Sebelia of Season 3 or Kenley Collins of Season 5 for their upfront attitudes and quirky designs, but this season I could pick no favorites. This season, all the designers proved to be a bore culminating in a colorless runway show on Thursday. Although there was some pretty pieces including nice knitwear and cute skirts, it all proved to be a bore with nothing innovative or exciting to look forward to on the fashion front. The only thing memorable about this season will be the pregnancy challenge not only for its horrific outfits such as the egg outfitor badly made short shorts but Shirin’s gorgeous and intricate dress. They got rid of all the interesting characters early in the game like the 40’s style Louise, wacky Ari and Malvin and his androgynous clothing. I don’t know whether I’m looking forward to next season. Although, I know I’ll watch no matter what, I’m hoping for a little more innovation. Until then, all of you should head to your sewing machines and start doing your own DIY projects, maybe you could add a little umph to the next season of Project Runway.

Leather jackets are the perfect throw-on and go item. Some people are intimidated by their “biker chic” vibe, however I feel the complete opposite. You can find a leather jacket that works for you depending on the color and the shape of it. They are appropriate for practically anyone’s style. Whether your style is biker, frilly and sweet, or boho, a leather jacket always accomadates an outfit. They make a pair of jeans and a t-shirt look effortlessly chic, while dressing down a vintage coctail dress–what could be better? Wearing your jacket to school is great, along with wearing it to dinner with your friends…it just always works! I have a brown Andrew Marc leather jacket that my mom bought at the end of last season that I absolutely adore (it smells delightful too); I am trying to get one more wear out of it before it becomes consistently too cold here in Baltimore. Leather jackets are not just for the bad boys, like Danny Zucko from Grease, but instead can fit everyone’s taste, personality, and style. You just have to look and find one that is right for you!

In the last few years, leggings have gone from exercise pants to an outfit basic. Although it is still under deliberation whether these tight spandex pants can be considered full-on bottoms, it has not stopped people from replacing them from their normal jeans. There are currently a myriad of styles of leggings in current trends, including, metallic, leather, and patterned, but there is now a new legging on the market, the legging jean. Because I refuse to wear sweatpants for fear of looking like a shlump, but I want to be comfortable, I have resorted to legging jeans. Legging jeans have the same spandex feel as leggings but contain the details of jeans including pockets, rivets, and belt loops. They can be worn as full-blown jeans or as leggings under a dress. The material is usually a little bit thicker than regular leggings so it is more acceptable and non-athletic looking to wear them as pants. Legging jeans are most popular in their normal black color, but now they are being made in all sorts of colors, patterns and styles included look-a-like jean colors and with stirrups on the bottom. Leans, as my friend Sally calls them, are the perfect way to be comfortable and respectable, so pick up your pair today(especially in my school where we can’t wear real leggings!)

I have a soft spot for the simple v-neck tees, but sometimes, I know I need to kick it up a notch. How to make this happen? Embellished tees! I’m not talking about the ones from J. Crew, with oversized flowers and soft pastels, but details with more of an edge. Give me minuscule rhinestones for discreet shine and stud detailing to toughen up the look. Use a wary eye when navigating the options; the embellishments should be tasteful, subtle, and unexpected. Pair it with skinny jeans (as I seem to do with just about everything) and boots, and you’re good to go.
