Each year, as most of us do this time of year, I go hunting for a new party dress to dance the night away and ring in the New Year in style. However, like for many, its been another tough year, money wise at least. However, it was a little worse for me last year when I kept it really simple with a tank and a pair of 7 For All Mankind skinnies accessorized with a piece of simple jewelry: see Fashion to Ring in the New Year. However this year I feel like something really chic. DKNY to the rescue!
The dress I've chosen to ring in the New Year is this flirty red dress with ruffles. Its strapless and made of stretch shimmer suiting. You'll definitely turn every head in the room by making an entrance in this fiery satin number! This dress is me; it's super chic and sexy. I like it with the show-stopping Marcey red suede strappy pumps. Originally priced at $345.00, this sleeveless dress has been discounted down to $241.50 during the DKNY Winter Sale with 30% OFF on all sale items. What better way to ring in the New Year with savings like this! This offer is valid through January 2, 2012 on DKNY.com and in DKNY full-price stores in the US.
For that little more sophisticated and posh but still super chic look, check out the sleeveless v-neck dress with ruffle front. Originally priced at $376.00 but on sale now at $262.50.
DKNY Strapless V-Neck Dress with Ruffle Front (Front)
DKNY Strapless V-Neck Dress with Ruffle Front (Back)
There is a host of other choices including a range of gorgeous sequins for a shimer and shine look and little black dresses. For example, I like the lightweight sleevelss dress with all over sequins in antique Gold. If you're in London and into sequins then the Grace Sequin Strapper at Boohoo Fashion for £10.00 might be a great buy!
Best Wishes to you all and may the New Year bring you lots of fun, happiness and great shopping!!!

Hoping you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family and friends!!! And now with Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey, pumpkin pie and mash potato all but gone, it's time now to think about the holiday sales!!! And what better day to start than today! Yes today is Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year and after the weekend, there's Cyber Monday, the big online shopping day. In fact, many say that Cyber Monday has become an even bigger shopping day and major retailers are expected to offer their best deals with even bigger discounts on this day. Regardless, this is the time that retailers will offer the best deals and not only on the latest technology and electronics products, but thankfully for us fashionistas, also on designer and fashion clothing, shoes, handbags, jewelry and beauty products as well as luxury apparel as with the deeper discounts, these will be offered at prices that we will not possibly see for the next six to twelve months. So this is serious shopping time and not only for those wishing to hustle through the boutiques and local malls, but also for those that prefer to avoid the crowds and maintain their sanity while looking to score the best deals by shopping online. As well as personal shopping, it's a great time to start our Christmas shopping with lots of great gift ideas out there at deep discounts. So whether you are after the latest Apple iPad and accessories, it's also a great time to shop for designer clothing and perhaps that special pair of shoes and handbag that you’ve been thinking about all year. And when it comes to fashion, here as in previous years, we will progressively list our best finds over Black Friday weekend and Cyber Monday shopping period.

The press have reported the frenzied launch of the Spanish clothing giant Zara in Australia as "Zara fever" (see the news.com.au article Zara fever: 'Never seen anything like it'). We first saw it back in April when Zara opened its first store in Australia at Westfield Sydney in Pitt Street and today it was Melbourne's turn with Zara opening in Bourke Street.
For this store opening Zara wasn't taking any chances so it flew in extra staff from overseas to handle the anticipated crowds. And a crowd there truly was when fashion craving Melbournian fashionistas, both men and women, waited in queues all day, some for up to nine hours before the store opened. They waited and waited for their turn to bag some of the opening Zara fashion bargains. It was like the Boxing Day sales! Even with a limit of ten items per customer, the shelves of classic dresses, coats, jeans and knitwear were quickly cleared but routinely replenished. As what happened at the Zara opening in Sydney, it didn't take long at all, in fact within a few minutes of opening, most of the shelves had been cleared. There is little doubt that the long queues will be back tomorrow.
This is really all amazing when you consider that other fashion retailers around the country have shown poor sales results so far in 2011 and some, for example Colorado, even closing down. But what's all the fuss about when it comes to Zara? Simple! Zara means the latest and affordable, fashionable clothing.

It's certainly the season for Sample Sales with a host of hot fashion sales taking place at the moment. This includes designer clothing sample sales and designer shoes sample sales as well as designer handbags sample sales all with great discounts on offer and often as high as 80% to 90% off retail. And what I like about sample sales this time of the year is that the racks are usually filled with the hottest brands and everything else you need to complete your summer wardrobe and you can choose from hundreds, sometimes thousands of items at bargain basement prices. Here's a quick roundup on some of the coming sample sales:
If you're after a colorful and chic new summer dress at 80% off then the Yumi Kim Sample Sale next week in NY is a great sale to consider.
We all know that a good pair of jeans is one of the most practical wardrobe staples but finding the right pair isn't always easy. That's where denim sample sales, with lots and lots designer jeans on the racks can be a great place to look. If you're after a new pair or two of jeans then then the Simon Showroom Sample Sale with Citizens of Humanity and Goldsign at 80% off is definitely worth a look in. This sale also includes the ready-to-wear line from Paris based IRO as well as the contemporary line of cashmere sweaters, wraps and cardigans by Duffy, once again all at sample sale prices.
Another sale that will help freshen up your wardrobe without breaking the bank is the Be & D Sample Sale with handbags, footwear and small accessories all at up to 75% OFF.
For luxe lovers then the Elyse Walker designer sale with designer brands including Proenza, Louboutin and Lanvin at 30-50% is definitely for you.

Chic Ideas for Mother's Day
Thank you mom for making me chic
Chic daughters are born from chic mothers, and thankfully, your mom has raised you as a dashing, well-balanced individual. Let’s take a second to reminisce and reflect on the teachings of mom and the skill set that she has provided:
The skilful art of putting together the perfect ensemble. You may have had your ups and downs over the years, on what is appropriate dress code. You may have at times not behaved in such a daughterly fashion when she dared have an opinion on your creativity. However, let’s face it: Without mother’s guidance, fashion disasters would have been a much more significant feature in your teens and more than likely you would never have achieved the level of chic that you are at now.
Relationship no-no’s. Remember when you hated mom and felt like you were never going to forgive her for RUINING your life? Ok, it was a while ago and there have most likely been many since. But, if you can cast your mind back to when your beloved boyfriend came complete with a bad record and the birth date that long expired your own. You will remember the frustration felt, when mom was incapable of recognising his charms and instead grounded you for a sentence that had him move on to the next unlucky victim (in the space of under a week). Leaving you momentarily heartbroken and eternally grateful for not being the depressed young single-mom that was to be the fate of your Successor. With tastes that evolve with time and experience you are now able to hold on to gorgeous, ambitious, professional: The perfect chic accessory!
Bad education. Mom forced you to work, you wanted to play. Tantrums and vile rebellions should have driven you apart, but mom stuck by you and was there to support each fail and celebrate every achievement. With the battle won, your career prospects and future have paved the way to a life where inspiring environments, fabulous pastimes and stylish outfits are an actuality.
May 8th 2011: A date for the diary
With all the above in mind, you have a lot to thank mom for. If ever you needed an excuse to treat mom, this May is the perfect time to show your appreciation; Mothers day, a whole day dedicated to the special lady in your life. Unless you still live at home, an awkward breakfast in bed featuring cold eggs complete with shards of shell and an overflowing glass of home grown flowers (that you have thoughtfully ripped from the garden) is not going to cut it! So, what are you going to put together to mark this occasion?
Answer: Treat mom the chic way
Celebrating mothers: An ode to my chic mother, stood in the middle posing with her cousins… Mother’s don’t get much more adorable (and chic) than this!
Chic Treats for Mom
You want to get mom something special and unique. Consider the following points before diving in:
Realistic for your budget (and time): Mom will not want you spending more cash than your budget allows. As for time, you organise a fab day with mom, you must ensure that you can get the time to carry this out.
Be In tune with mom: Don’t blow your cash on something that you love but mom may only hold onto to make you happy. Different generations have different tastes!
Consistent appreciation: You love mom and you always will. With birthdays, holidays and mother’s days being annual events, you should keep your chic treats realistic and evenly applied year in, year out.
With all things considered, here are some great ways to spoil your mother:
Tic Toc
Mother and daughter time is a precious thing, you may well be lucky enough to spend lots of time with your mom already. However, carefully planning a day where mom is the leading lady makes a special gift idea. This mother’s day present mom with some sort of gorgeously created invitation to a shared day. Day ideas could be anything that is right for your mom. For inspiration think: a day at the spa; afternoon tea; wine tasting; theatre. The list is endless, what is important is that you spend her day doing something that you will both enjoy and will provide some real quality time together.
Get creative
Make your mom proud and showcase your creative streak on Mother's Day with a hand made or customised gift. If you are blessed with the skill of creating inanimate objects that are appealing to the eye, mom will be in for a stylish treat! Art? Apparel? Words? Your talents will make the perfect, personal gift for mom, so start creating!
Possibly creating things from scratch is not your forte; you may have the vision but not the facility for putting things together. Well, no need to fret! There are many creative gifts that are easy to achieve, which will only require thought, vision and in most cases; the internet. How about a personalized calendar? Research a company that makes these (most photo developments companies will). Collect twelve chic photos, edit if necessary and submit. Easy and fabulous! How about customizing a piece of jewelry or clothing? A whole host of companies offer the opportunity of providing their customers with artistic licence over existing designs. Another fab option is to Design your own mothers jewelry? Where you can actually choose the arrangement, metal, stones and all the significant aspects that go into a ring, and hey presto you have created a mothers ring (and avoided disaster!) A fantastic gift for a stylish mom.
If neither of the above areas suits your mom, here is an additional list of chic ideas:
Go green: If mom thinks gifts look best in green. Get her something made from renewable or recycled materials. A hemp purse? With so many green treats available all over the place it is easy to treat mom to guilt free gifts.
Culture Vulture: Bring mom up to the present and introduce her to the literary efforts of new authors, directors and musicians. Chic moms are open moms, so share your recent finds and get connected.
Attention to detail: Next time your visiting mom, have a look around the house and see what mom loves, does she collect certain items? Are certain brands or themes reoccurring? Take these hints and use them as gift tips.
Hobby horse: Does mom have passions outside of being a chic, fabulous role model? Maybe, mom loves gardening. If so, how about some stylish gardening gloves and a nourishing hand cream? Look into how mom spends her spare time and think of ways to inject added glamour and accessorize!
