trend watch: LONG AND SHORT


Jackets are getting shorter and tops are getting longer!  This look is fun and flattering.  A long top with fitted pants and a pair of heels will enlongate your entire body making you look slimmer.  But if you added a long jacket to this look you would take away the effect and make yourself look top heavy.  Instead, a cropped jacket is the perfect way to finish the outfit; it will keep you looking long and lean as well as show off your fantastic long top!  Both Madonna and Halle Berry demonstrate how to pull this look off and now you can get a similar look for a fantastic price right now on Badjoan.com...


First you'll need a long top!  You could go for the long and tight look with the TT Collection Ruffle Tank.  Or you could go for a long and loose look with the Mike & Chris Pocket Tank.  Or go really long and really loose with the Beautiful People Silk Cowl Neck Tunic


Complete the look with an adorable crop jacket from Mike & Chris.  The Welllington Jacket features 3/4 Sleeves which makes it great for layering.  The Leather Bolero is made from a bronze metallic leather which is perfect for a night out.  And finally the Landen Short Sleeve Jacket is warm but made from a light cotton fleece which is easy and versatile.

trend watch: SEQUINS


Sequins are all the rage right now!  And why not?  It's always fun to bedazzle and bejewel ourselves.  BUT like anything else you should do it tastefully.  If you are going to go all the way and wear a fully sequined dress than we suggest keeping all of your accessories plain and simple so as not to compete with the sparkle.  For those of you that want to add just a touch of shine to your holiday outfits without a full takeover try some of these styles from Purp7e available right now on Badjoan.com...


All of these pieces are soft, lightweight and great for layering and adding just a touch of shimmer and shine to any outfit.

get that look: BOLD EVENINGWEAR

Wearing bold colors as eveningwear is a beautiful and economic choice!  Bright colors make a great statement in the evening when everyone else is wearing something dark, plus they can still be worn into the spring and summer.  Just change up the accessories and you've got a look that will change with the seasons.


Nicole Kidman was the answer for yesterday's blog contest because the tall, lean beauty is definitely a style icon!  She looked stunning last week while she accompanied her husband to several CMA events.  We especially love how she wore bright, bold colors as eveningwear.  Right now on Badjoan.com you can get a similar look to the one seen above.  Try the Lizzie Parker Tube Dress/Skirt paired with the Marcello Toshi Hojas pumps and top it off with the Tucker Paisely Wide Reversible Belt.  The best part about this outfit is that the dress and the belt can be worn more than one way: the dress can be worn long, short or as a skirt, and the belt has a reversible side that has the Tucker Paisley signature print!


Nicole showcased another bold look last week, a dramatic floor length magenta gown.  Get a similar look with the Lizzie Parker Long Tube Dress.  The length makes it perfect for a formal evening event but the color makes it fun and fresh!

Carrie Underwood always looks beautiful, even in the most simple outfit!  We love how she took a structured vest and paired it with a t-shirt that is long, loose and oversized.  She finishes the look off by adding a bit of color and texture with several long necklaces.  To get Carrie's structured vest look try the Mike & Chris Button Vest in Black (seen here) or Navy, both available right now on Badjoan.com!


Need a long and loose white t-shirt to go under your vest?  Try the KJ True Love Plunging V-Neck or add a little something extra with the Unstoppable Barcode T-Shirt.
