    'Tis the season for sequins! These little dazzlers aren't just for evening or holidays anymore. They're popping up everywhere for fall and yes, they can absolutely be worn during the day. But to avoid looking like a Las Vegas showgirl, you might want to keep a few tips in mind. First, dress 'em down. Make one sparkly item your focal point. Think a sequin vest with jeans and a tee or a sequin cardigan with a tank. Then choose matte accessories. Sequins add enough shimmer and shine to an outfit so pick boots, bracelets and bags with a flat finish. And finally, keep shapes uncomplicated. For day, sequins work best on simple shapes like classic tees and shifts. Now just click the slideshow for a dazzling array of fabulous vintage sequin finds!

    Get ready to throw on some shimmer and shine and hit the dance floor with disco inspired clothing! Sequins, beads, and lame were all over the spring runways and are still going strong for fall. The 2009 sequins trend isn't about prom dress type sequins and formal glamour, but rather scattered and broken sequins and beads that add a touch of luster. There are so many ways to get the look-- from clothing to accessories, your options are endless. Don't be afraid to pair them with pared down pieces for a cool juxtaposition of dressy and casual. Throw on a pair of sequined leggings for a sporty futuristic touch or a sequined t-shirt instead of your usual cotton tee. Diane von Furstenberg's slouchy "Stephanie" bag is the perfect daytime option, balancing shine and shimmer with its slouchy boho shape. Check out the slideshow for some more glittering choices.

    Whoever thought sequins couldn't be minimalist never came across the designs of Sophie Hulme! Directly out of design school, the Brit started her own line for Fall '08. After a few seasons of gaining steam, her wares are now sold around the world and online at Revolve Clothing. The line fuses together masculine, minimalist cuts with some girly flash. Military-style anoraks and bomber jackets are dripping in sequins that totally up their glamour factor. The collection is punctuated with cool utilitarian accessories as well. Quilted backpacks and sequined harnesses as well some limited edition jewelry add to the "boyish with flair" charm of the line. Each piece of clothing also comes with a special trinket that changes every season. The purpose, you ask? After a few collections, you'll have enough to make your own Sophie Hulme charm bracelet. Check out the slideshow to see some of the line!

    Maybe I'm easily distracted, but I'm just naturally drawn to sparkle. All a shirt needs is to be bedazzled in sequins, twinkling at me from its hanger, and I'm instantly a sucker! So you can imagine my delight when I started noticing that the flashy sewn-on embellishments, once reserved for dressy nights out on the town and mermaid costumes, are becoming increasingly wearable for all hours of the day, showing up on summery dresses, floaty tunics, and even casual cropped vests. I guess someone finally came to their senses and realized that daytime is the time to get the most sparkle from their shiny sun-reflective surfaces! So don't worry about feeling like a disco ball -- indulge in your love of sparkle, whether just with a shimmery neckline or a fully sparkled sheath, and get your shine on all day long with some of my favorite pieces in the slideshow!

    Influential International Style: Helena Christensen

    How many women of incredible fashion influence can call themselves Victoria's Secret Angels? Well, Heidi and friends had good company in Helena Christensen, the Danish beauty queen and bonafide supermodel. Her fashion credentials run much deeper, as she co-founded Nylon magazine and is its first (and only) creative director. An accomplished photographer, she's had exhibitions in galleries from The Netherlands to China. But her style? To die for, just ask Zac Posen. The woman takes risks, and it pays off. She bridges the gap between red-carpet classic and indie princess. Her looks are always daring, yet demure. She mixes funky with traditional in colors, patterns, and a deep love of sequins. Check out my slideshow for tips on how to Helena Christensen-ize your wardrobe! Photo credit: PR Photos

    The holidays are the perfect time to shine. However, as any fashionable girl who's been to a holiday party can tell you, there are definitely ways to have a sparkly holiday take a wrong turn at Cheap St. and end up in Hookerville. Fear not, ladies, for I have gathered several twinkling options for the rest of your holiday occasions! At the top of my Christmas list is the Betsey Johnson 'Savoy' strapless dress- with its satin sweetheart top and high-waisted sequin skirt, it fits like a dream. (Are you listening, Santa baby? It's such a new take on a black and white dress that I might NEED it!) Fewer brands with a celebrity following make me drool more than Haute Hippie, and this sequin stripe dress is no exception. It would even be cute for a night out over skinny black jeans! Check out my slideshow for plenty of cheap-free sparkle-full holiday dress options!
