StyleSpot Newsletter - Best Trends of the Year - December 31, 2011

It's New Year's Eve and that means it's time for some glitter, sparkle and shine. In celebration of the holiday, and of an incredible year in fashion, we'd like to recognize the most scintillating looks from the red carpet. From mini skirts to gowns, these looks attracted flashbulbs like a moth to a flame. So thank you Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Leighton Meester and Olivia Wilde, for being bold enough to wear sequins and for inspiring the rest of us to get our sparkle on. Happy new year!

StyleSpot Newsletter - New Year’s Eve Style - Decemeber 17, 2011

 It's your last moment to make a style statement this year, so why not wear something spectacular for New Year's Eve. If you have a black tie event, go glamorous in a sparkly gown like Lea Michele's. If your fete is a little less dressy but still calls for a dress, try a flirty number like Carrie Underwood's short cocktail dress. Or perhaps your plans are more low-key, in which case you can forego the dress, but keep texture and fabric in mind; Angelina Jolie did this beautifully in a sumptuous combination of velvet and satin. For makeup, emphasize the eyes and keep the lips bare so they're ready for a midnight kiss.
