RosieB's Trending Topic: Sequins of Events

SEQUINS is the new black and  has got to be my favorite trend in fashion right now. Once upon a time when people said "sequins" I cringed at the thought of over-the-top fitted calf length evening dresses worn by ladies with heavy makeup, hair and jewels. So basically I thought of the TV drama Dynasty. But just like everything else circa '80's it's reared it used-to-be ugly but now fabulous head! BCBG made a great grey shirt like/vest with silver sequins detail years ago, that I love and will never get tired of wearing. [Shout out to my former discount, sigh.] Close to three years ago I saw Nelly Furtado rock a Black Sequins Beret and began obsessively looking for one, fast forward to the Spring of '09 I finally got one. [Shout out to Forever 21 and my roomate "Beans"!] Now I'm on another mission, this time for the perfect, sequin JACKET. I think this is an investment piece. This style of jacket allows you to dress up any outfit in a snap, you'll get alot of use out of it especially during the HOLIDAY SEASON and if it "goes out of style" it'll come back. You don't believe me? Ask Joan Collins. These are my favorites from London Import Top Shop. As you can see it's going to be a tough choice.

Gonna dress you up in my Glove

While reading my Instyle magazine this past month, I came across an article entitled "most wanted" accessories for the season. They featured studded bags, geeky glasses, menswear hats, ornate bracelets, slim belts, retro kicks, bib necklaces, ladylike carryalls & my most favorite, bright gloves! The pink one's worn by yours truly below can be found at my favorite UK import,TopShop in NYC.

Shoe Fly!- Plethora of Platform Goodies!

 These Top Shop shoes are like every short girls wet dream. Fishing through their website earlier, I noticed just how many different pairs of platform shoes they had. If you’re anything like me, and love to heighten your outfits because of your vertical challenges, you may need to take a trip down to the Soho District of Manhattan. I particularly loved these and can see all of them paired with one, or two, or ten things in my closet already [yeah, I know, any excuse to shop]. Anyway, here are the Shoe names and prices from top left to bottom right: Symbol Peeped Toe $135, Larissa Velcro $145, Strike Platform $135 (also available in Black), Stealth Platform $145, Levi Strappy Tribal Sandal $145 (also available in a purple/black combo), and the Lucinda $145.
