All that glitters doesn't have to be gold ;)

New Year's Eve draws closer by the day, and even though your party plans may still be in the works, there's one thing you know you'll need along with the champagne and somebody to kiss when the clock hits midnight - a killer dress that won't break the bank but will leave you looking like a million bucks. So what's a girl to do? Probably experiment with a sequence dress thats back with a BANG, one with the right cuts can make you look like a stunner. This week for you we have the perfect way to sparkle this party season.

Rings, boots and high heels are the selections of this season, and selecting which one goes best with your look can be tough. Look at ways to match the fabric and weight of your dress with that of your footwear! For example, a delicate dress made of light fabric is most likely suited to delicate heels, while some of the more rough-and-tumble designs call out for a pair of utilitarian boots that go up to your knees (or higher). Sturdier fabrics call for more intense footwear.

The Animal Exterior..

Everyone has a wild side and what better way to express it than through your own personal style? After all they do say you are what you wear.

The most striking style this past season has been the return of the the animal prints - Leopard, tiger & zebra out of which we do have a clear winner - the leopard.
The leopard print is a style that most women are inclined towards because as i said before its an outlet to the animal within. Its daring, glamourous, sexy, sultry and makes a statement all at once.

But just like every other style it won't be long before its gone. So make the most of it while its here.

Today we have for you two looks that won't keep you caged.

LOOK 2 - (Click On Image To Enlarge)

We've been taking a look at the latest trends that we can hope to see this winter of 2011 and we're excited to see the return of leather to the collections. This season though its been given an ultra feminine makeover it is no longer venturing along the biker-chic lines. Make sure you invest in something leather, its the trend that never went away.

When we think of leather we don't only think of a jacket, we think of a dress. A perfect grab for the girl who's a little edgy but at the same time has a feminine side.

No look is complete without accessories, the addition of this color-block neckpiece & solid dull gold bracelet gives it the feminine touch. Teaming up the edgy leather dress with the sexy cheetah print stockings gives it that SNAZZ you're looking for, as well as a culmination of two of the most sought after looks into one successful combination.
