Every girl loves to add a little sparkle to her life and by that we mean to her wardrobe!  This season has certainly given us a pass to do just that and sparkle we will!

Sequins and stars are both killer trends this season and we are now even seeing them side-by-side!  Whether you opt for a head to toe print style or a subtle addition, both of these trends will certainly allow for a carefree party style.

Metallic sequins are a must this year and appear to be the new grunge-vintage take on the original sequin style.  These sequins are worn with flats and carefree tees for a laid back look that still screams party but in a different way.

Dolce & Gabbana are certainly one fashion house to look to when it comes to this season’s trends of stars and sequins.  They have released the metallic sequin with star combo and such a style comes in the shape of a long sleeved maxi that is perfect for the winter season and looks great teamed with killer chunky heels and opaque tights.

Wear with curls and statement watches as well as a few in your face rings for the ultimate style queen look!

Other pieces to invest in include the likes of a star embellished jumper, a pair of metallic skinnies in super shiny red, a cute pair of embellished sequin shorts, a metallic skirt with zip additions, a statement full length sequin maxi, a tie up star sheer top and of course, a pair of killer lace-up metallic heels!

All of these pieces are must-have wardrobe investments for this season and will look very in fashion throughout the whole of the winter months.

Black has always been in and is the go to colour if you are a little unsure of what to wear to an event, have an interview or wish to wear something slimming!

Most people will be thrilled to hear that black is the go-to colour for 2011 and was seen on all the recent catwalk shows!

Think sumptuous fur jackets and silk shift dressed or alternatively opt for a pair of velvety cute shorts.

Fashions favourite shade is certainly hot once again for the new season and is a must in all our wardrobes!

Choose super luxe fabrics, stunning detailing and standout finishes.

The above will certainly give your new black wardrobe a midnight hue this season and a variety shops are now stocking the black is back look! You can find fashionable womens clothes at Ellos online.

Accessories are a great addition to any outfit and can really make or break a style.  A simple outfit can be brought to life with the addition of a statement cuff, super embellished necklace or uber chunky bracelet and studs, however an over the top outfit can be turned into overkill with the addition of an equally embellished piece.

Whether you choose simple silver, warm hued gold or costume jewellery, accessories are a must in every girl’s wardrobe!

Bags, belts and shoes are as equally as pleasing and just as important as jewellery and really work to add the finishing touches to an outfit!

There are an assortment of accessory designers on the cards this season and all should be taken note of!  New York fashion Week showcased 18 must-see accessory stylistas!  In the 18 included jewelers, milliners, footwear, handbag and small leather good designers.  All showcased their pieces in a boutique like space.  We guarantee that any budding fashionista will want one, if not all of the designer items in their new season wardrobes as all will add an instant hit of pisazz to any outfit!

Choose wisely and invest in pieces that can be worn with more than one item and use them to take a daytime outfit to a night time outfit!

The all-new red carpet trend appears to have forgotten the statement floor length ball gowns and gone for something a little more retro and a lot shorter!

The new red carpet trend comes in the shape of the crop top and is proving to no longer be the gym bunnies’ go-to option for work out wear.

The bare midriff has gone formal and is now very much a statement piece that should be in every girl’s wardrobe!  Especially when it is both perfect for an evening on the tiles and can also double up as day wear, especially when teamed with a cute retro pair of trousers or skinnies.

The A-list seem to be fans of this statement trend and have recently been seen sporting an array of crop-top ensembles for 2011!

The singer Kelly Roland showed us demure and went for a cute lemon crop top, which she teamed with a knee length black skirt and killer skyscrapers!  Jennifer Lopez tried out this season’s crop-top style with a cute pair of shorts, a statement short tartan jacket and round toe platforms.  Rhianna followed suit and dressed up a prim and proper puff baby blue skirt with a metallic long sleeved cardigan.

Both Anne Hathaway and Georgia May Jagger kept the look simple and low-key and teamed tight jeans and high waisted palazzo pants with crop-tees and of course, killer platforms.

The actress Anne worked a really retro look and teamed spots with stripes!

This style is a must-have look that is perfect for an assortment of events, simply lose the bling jewellery and heels for a daytime look and over do them for an evening event!

Now girls, all we need to do before investing in this top trend is to get working on those crunches at the gym!  Personal trainers at the ready!!
