:::drools::: Sparkle and Shine for New Year's Time!!!

I don't know if it's the recent enjoyment of a very special Christmas present I snagged for myself (Yes, I've been watching it all weekend! LOL), but I have been very inspired by sequins. What better way to bring in the new years? And thanks to our favorite celebs, there are certainly scores of inspiration!!!

I've put together an assortment of sequined sweetness that can be used for just a bit of pinch of pizzazz, or to turn yourselves into a one woman New Year's Eve party!!!

Grey Silver Sequin Dolman Top ($38.50, Torrid)

ASOS CURVE Jacket With Sequin Sleeve ($95.45, ASOS)

Women's Sparkle-Toe Ballet Flats ($12.99, Old Navy)

Multicolor sequin skirt ($79.95, Lane Bryant)

Baby Phat Sequin Crop Jacket ($56.99, Dr. Jay's)

Plan Platforms ($135.00, Aldo Shoes)

Michael Kors Sequin Wrap Dress ($79.90, Nordstrom)

SL Fashions Plus Size Dress, Short Split Sleeve Sequin Boat Neck ($109.00, Macy's)

:::drools::: LaLa Anthony-style for Plus Size Fashionistas

Can you believe that November's almost over? Wow this month has flown by! With the holidays rapidly approaching, many of us will be getting dressed up and heading out to parties with friends, families, and for a special holiday date.

I recently spotted LaLa Anthony at a party celebrating her stage debut in "Love, Loss and What I Wore" and I knew that her ensemble would be perfect to rock for a special occasion.

From the lady-like lace dress, to the bows on her pumps, she looks sophisticated, festive, and gorgeous!

This is a look guaranteed to turn heads and I couldn't wait to recreate it. Here's what I came up with:

Dress: Jessica London Shift Dress in Lace ($59.99 - $69.99, One Stop Plus)
Shoes: Journee Collection Women's 'Stefan-7' Ruffle Detail Peep Toe Pumps ($39.49, Overstock.com)
Clutch: Antique Embellished Clutch ($19.80, Forever21)

Cheers to having a wonderful (and fabulous!!) Holiday!!!!
