Guest Blogger: Anya Sarre Teaches You How to Rock Sequins!


Hello there! I'm sorry I've been MIA this week, I've had so much school work it's ridiculous. But I'm back, finals are just finishing up, and everything is set right again! Sort of. Anyway, today I'm so excited to share with you a post that has been a long time coming. A month or so back, the lovely Anya Sarre emailed me asking if we could collaborate. Obviously, I said yes! Anya is a Shoedazzle stylist, who has also been featured in print magazines and on television—Entertainment Tonight, The Insider, and the STYLE network to name a few! And, on top of all of that, she's a mother. Talk about girl power! I'm so excited to bring this post to you all and I hope you enjoy it!




Rocking Sparkly Sequins This Season

No matter what fashion trends are "in" each year, there's one that people always
return to around the holiday season: sequins. These sparkly sensations can be worn
year-round, but almost everybody rocks a sparkly look around the holidays. If you're
looking to twinkle this holiday season, try one of these sweet and sequined looks.

You can never go wrong with a sequined sweater. Not only will it keep you warm,
you'll look and feel fabulous. You can go as heavy or as light on the sequins as you
want. Pair an over size, sequin-covered sweater with a pair of dark skinny jeans.
Toss on some simple metallic accessories to complete you gorgeous holiday look.
This is a great look for casual events and afternoon parties, as well as trips to your
local ice-skating rink.

If you want something with a little more drama, a sequined skirt can be a great
choice. These days, sequins come on all kinds of fabric, from stretch jersey to sheer
chiffon. Look for a bedazzling skirt in a neutral tone and pair it with a bright silk
blouse. Add a pair of neutral tights and finish off your look with a great pair of booties
or closed toe wedge shoes. You'll be chic and sophisticated with just a bit of twinkle.

Don't want to take the full plunge into sequins just yet? Try bold accessories for a fun
and fabulous winter ensemble. Pair your favorite pair of jeans with some gorgeous
sequin-covered pumps for a stylish and fashion-forward twist on holiday sparkle. If
you're going to be outdoors, try pairing your favorite jacket with bedazzled gloves
and a sequined hat. You'll shine even under the stars!

If you're ready to go for the maximum "wow effect", try a colorful dress. Sparkled
dresses come in many styles, but are sure to he a hit! You can wear it over bright
leggings and top with a cardigan for a wonderful winter-inspired outfit.

Sequins are one of the most distinctive holiday looks. If you want to add a little
pizzazz to your holiday gear, toss on some sparkle with a few sequined pieces.
You'll feel like a star in your sequins!


Hope you enjoyed!
Until next time,
