A decade since her last album, Sade’s Soldier of Love is No. 1 on the charts. The singer hasn’t aged a day, and neither has her iconic style. And I love how her signature red lipstick/wrapped ponytail/skinny-gold-hoop earrings look works for day or night.

One wouldn’t normally consider something splattered with sequins to be all that versatile. But in a fashion universe that seems to favor an “anything goes” mentality these days, the sequin dress has become the fancier big sister of the oversized T-shirt – showing up all over the place, peeking out from silky slipdresses, classic trenches, even cropped sweaters. Think of it as your new sparkly basic, making even your most simple pieces feel special.
Victoria’s Secret Split-neck sequin dress $149.99
Smart Bargains, Cynthia Rowley stripe sequin dress $124.98
Revolve, Free People sequin slipdress $68

Proof that wearing all black isn’t blah: Here’s Catherine Zeta-Jones – currently winning rave reviews for her performance in A Little Night Music on Broadway – emerging from the stage door, autograph pen in hand. Her black down coat looks extravagantly warm, yet sleek, combined with black leggings and fleece-lined boots.
The effect is glamorous, urban snowbunny. Just for you, I’ve ferreted out the elements for far less:

After seeing it, I decided to Google around for less pricey alternatives and found this great Roberto Cavalli crystal-embellished snake bracelet at Net-a-Porter.com:
and this silver snake bangle at SmartBargains.com, divine at only $149.99. It’s so Cleopatra, lounging on her covered sedan chair somewhere along the Nile.
Would you wear snake jewelry? Anyone?

A satin party dress is an essential in any party-loving woman’s wardrobe. And there are two ways to go here. One is the edgy, futuristic route: a clean, non-fitted shape in a stiffer satin. Just be sure to show some leg or an expanse of bare back, to bring in some sex appeal. Alternately, you can go for the more popular option and wear a slinkier, fitted satin dress, which has sex appeal to spare. The key here is to get high-quality satin that offers a bit of stretch and support – and, if necessary, to wear some type of smoothing Spanx item underneath. I especially love the satin sheath dresses by designer L’Wren Scott (Mick Jagger’s girlfriend and a former Vanity Fair stylist). What could look more modern and flattering?
This dress won’t be available till spring, but you can find wonderful satin dresses right now at SmartBargains, Neiman Marcus and Victorias Secret. I gravitate toward basic black but the jewel tones are hard to resist… which evening dress color do you prefer?
