Glitter, Sequin, And Metallic's

Do you dare to be bold? 2012 is all about glitter, sequin, and metallic's; Glamorous trends that you won't want to miss!

Although glitter, sequin, and metallic's are hot trends right now, they'll seldom ever look good paired together so choose carefully. When in doubt, go with neutral colors like black and white or even silver and gold but remember, glitter, sequin, and metallic's are already eye-catching, so you don't want to go over-board with it. You should avoid, at all costs, pairing sequin with sequin, metallic's with metallic's, or glitter with glitter or you'll risking looking like a fashion-don't straight from the 80's.

Balance is key here; If you're doing alot on the bottom, try to go easy on the top half, and vice-versa. Opt for dresses in beautiful tones that you can pair with leggings or pattern tights. Stay away from bright colors that clash together and try to keep the accessories to a minimal. Have fun with it and don't forget to wear it with confidence; there's nothing sexier!

One Shoulder Trend: How To Rock This Look

The one shoulder look is a hot trend, loved by many, and definitely here to stay. It's a great no-fuss, go-to look when you're short on time, cash or ideas. Here are some tips to help you rock this trend the right way.

How To Wear A One Shoulder Dress

1. Choose a dress that fits your body type well, and is also comfortable. The last thing you want to do is feel awkward or uncomfortable in your outfit.

2. Invest in a good strapless bra. Exposed bra straps is a sure way to spoil the beauty of this look.

3. Avoid wearing a necklace with this look. You already have a lot going on with your neckline, so you'll probably want to keep it simple in that area. Accessorize with eye-catching earrings and a bracelet.

How To Wear A One Shoulder Top

1. The same undergarment rules apply for a one shoulder top so pull out the strapless bra!

2. Be careful not to bear too much skin. Avoid wearing mini-skirts or any other type of very short skirt. You run the risk of looking trashy and you can easily ruin the look this way. Do pair your one sleeve shirt with  jeans, Capri’s or any other type of mid-length skirt.

3. You can pretty much get away with any hairstyle when wearing this trend, although your best look would be to go with an up-do. Not only does it keep the neckline area less busy but it also allows your one sleeve top to be the focal point of your outfit.

If you follow these simple guidelines, you're sure to rock this trend the right way. It's sexy, chic and easy to wear. What more could a girl ask for? Enjoy!
