holiday fashion trend alert: SEQUINS

knew it! After seeing a number of celebs in their sparkling numbers on the red carpet, its a new trend for the holidays!

Maybe because Christmas is just around the corner, with all those glittery lights, decorations and gift wrappers, we are influenced to put something as sparkling as Christmas decorations on ourselves.

According to some of the fashion blogs and articles, SEQUINS ARE IN!


To be honest, i'm not a fan of these glittery things, for me they are somehow distracting or attract far too much attention. In terms of comfort, some may even find them 'itchy' to wear.

Sure i can go with a sequin blazer or a vest, maybe even a skirt but a colorful sequin dress is just not my thing.

From the above photo, i very much like Jessica Stroup's Amber Valetta for Monrow number and Lo Bosworth's Flower Sequin Top from Topshop. I've always been a fan of loose long tank tops or racerback tops to hide my not so flat stomach and expose my thin arms or maybe wear a blazer with it.

I surfed around the internet to look for sequin items and below are some of my favorites.
