Red Carpet at the Grammys


The Red Carpet is the place to see the fashionable and the "I messed up trying to be fashionable". The Grammys is the perfect place to see how to have some fun while looking stylish and sexy. There were many different trends that walked the red carpet but it's always important to know what fits your body best.
My favorite trend of the night was the mini dresses. I loved Miley Cyrus in her long-sleeve mini Herve Leger green dress. It was age appropriate and looked great with her long wavy hair and high pumps. Heidi Clum, like always, looked gorgeous in her gold and nude Emilio Pucci dress with bejeweled sandals. No one could have done it better. Another mini dress done well was Fergie in her blue cobalt Pucci which really showed off her great legs. The other fun and different but stunning outfit was on Lea Michele. She wore a Romana Keveza navy colored, one shouldered mini dress cinched at the waiste with a feathered skirt. Although the skirt stood out, I loved the sheer top. I'm glad she didn't put any crazy jewelry with this dress because it had enough pizazz on it's own.

casual chic

This is a great look to understand because it can be used everyday but if done wrong, you may give people the wrong impression. The look is great for dinner dates, shopping in the city, and even a day at work. Some great essentials to build casual chic looks include:
1. Dark jeans
2. White tee shirt or silk blouse. LNA has great tees for this outfit.
3. classy accessories. i.e long string of pearls
4. timeless pair of neutral color heels.
5. cotton dress
Casual chic means comfortable but stylish and fashion forward. You want to make sure you don't look sloppy but you also don't want to be overdressed.

jean leggings

For those of you living under a rock, I am here to tell you that you must buy a pair of jean leggings. They add a new sexy, stylish look that is comfortable too. "Jeggings" are slimming, butt-enhancing, and very stylish.
Many different jean brands design jean leggings such as Hudson and J-brand, and you need to choose your rise, style, finish and leg style. After you choose those things according to your body shape and what occasion they are for, you can put together the perfect outfit.
While they still look like jeans it is better to wear them as if you were putting together an outfit with leggings. Don't wear shirts that are tucked in or cropped. The jeggings look great with a belted shirt or tunic, and ankle boots.

blazer

The blazer is a great, flattering, trendy, and eye-catching look that can make you feel confident walking into any room. It works with all body types and can be chosen in different styles. It is a great look for going out on the town paired with a great pair of dark skinny jeans and pumps.
A single breasted blazer that is a neutral color is a perfect choice, dressed up or down, and can be worn with many different pieces. Wear them with jeans, skirts, and dresses.
When choosing your blazer look for is a snug fit without being overly tight or loose at the shoulders. A curved seam at the torso often provides a better fit. Some blazers feature a vertical slit at the back for more comfort. There's a wide range of materials to choose from such as silk, wool, linen, cotton, polyester, gabardine, and knit. If you are looking for a more dressy look, satin and silk are the best choices.
Lastly, when you are choosing your blazer it's important to focus on your shape. If you are very slim, you should stick to a single-button jacket. For a larger shape it might be best to wear a double-buttoned jacket. If you have a large bust, avoid jackets that have wide lapels, because they will make the bust area look even better. If you have a short torso and want to

Although I would recommend sticking to the fitted jacket, I should mention that another look is to wear a loose unstructured jacket. This can be paired with jeans for a more casual look.

HOLIDAY PARTY DRESS CODE

It's finally the time of year when there are tons of parties. Get excited about adding a little dazzle to the night and wear that dress you've been waiting to take out of the closet. With some creativity and different accessories you can make your favorite dress the perfect outfit for all the holiday parties. Remember to dress appropriately according to the occasion. I thought I would share some tips so you don't have to break the bank.
1. Find your LBD (little black dress). This dress is the foundation of all of your outfits and can be changed around so that it will be the look of the night.
2. Figure out what type of atmosphere the party is going to be and whom you will be with. You don't want to be wearing anything too flashy when you are mingling with your co-workers but you also don't want to look like you are at a funeral when you're out with the girls.
3.Go in your closet, or of course if you are okay with treating yourself to a nice holiday gift...head to the store. Pull out a belt with sequins, sexy booties,below the knee boots, big dangling earrings, and bangle bracelets.
4.For an office party you will want to tone it down a little, but still have some fun, because this is finally a time when you see your co-workers outside of the office. Now that you are all set with your LBD, add your below the knee boots as long as they do not look like hooker boots. Nice suede ones, if you have them, are a good choice and the heel shouldn't be too tall. Put on those dangling earrings and bracelets, if you want, and you are good to go.
5.For going out on the town, have some more fun. Wear the LBD and you can add some sparkle. Sexy stilettos or booties would go great. This is where it is perfect to add your sequined belt, which you should wear below the bust, to create an empire waist of sparkle. Put on the dangling earrings and definitely wear some bangle bracelets. After that you are all set for the night.
