Trend Alert:Sequins

Sequins...Are they cheap and tacky or a great way to add glamour to a look? No - they may not part of the usual look I rep, but sequins ARE a great way to let out the glamazon in everygirl and a big trend on the runway for Fall. I love how you can mix/match it to create dimension in an outfit a la Richard Chai's Fall '08 RTW show. As well, some looks from Proenza Schouler's Fall '08 RTW. Even Vera Wang brought out a little bling for Fall.

For the more brazen fashionistas you could go full on - a la Sophie Hulme

It kind of reminds me of urban chainmail/armour - definitely a standout look. I'm also loving these Alexander McQueen sequined leggings - that you could layer under a look - all for the staggeringly low price of $2345.00 (somehow I wouldn't be surprised if American Apparel comes up with a pair before fall actually hits).
