Seeing Sequins

Trends come and trends go, but the one I’m seeing everywhere lately is sequins. In stores from Nordstrom to Victoria’s Secret PINK to Urban Outfitters and in magazines from Seventeen to Harper’s Bazaar and from designers such as Betsey Johnson and Versace, sequins are everywhere. Everything is being dazzled with sequins from shoes, to dresses, skirts, tops, purses, even leggings! Sequins are a fun way to add some color and sparkle to your everyday wardrobe. The question is where do you draw the line? Sequins can be fun and fabulous but it doesn’t take a lot to make them look to over the top and costume-like. To be safe don’t wear head to toe sequins. Pair sequined pieces with simple basics to get the effortless and everyday look. Also look for pieces that have sequined detailing instead of being 100% sequins, so it will look more fashionable and less costume-like. The most important part of wearing sequins is to have fun with them. So get out there and sparkle away!

Runway2Hallway's Holiday Gift Guide

It’s one week away from Christmas and everyone is going nuts trying to find last minute gifts for everyone on their list. To help out Runway2Hallway has come up with a holiday gift guide to give you ideas for every girl on your list, whether it’s your mom, sister, cousin, aunt, best friend, or roommate. A great choice for gifts are the beauty gifts sets you can only find during the holiday season. You’ll find the best beauty gift sets for the best prices at Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Sephora. Some of our favorites were ‘little darlings’ by M.A.C. Cosmetics (right), and the different Philosophy gift sets at Nordstrom. This lets her tryout and sample all the different colors and scents and definitely experiment more with her look. Another great place to find fragrance gifts sets is Victoria’s Secret. They have gift sets for all you favorite scents and beauty products.

As for fashion gifts we love the adorable PJ sets from Victoria’s Secret PINK (left), they were cute and inexpensive compared to other stores. If you are still having trouble coming up with ides, check out the gift section of your favorite store’s website. They usually have the best-selling items so you know which items are good quality and they often have good ideas. Another place with some great ideas for gifts is Seventeen Magazine’s website. They have a great gift guide for all your favorite people including your parents, sibling’s, guy friends, eco-friendly gifts, fashion gifts, beauty gifts and more. We hope this guide has made your holiday shopping a little easier.



Happy Holidays!

Holiday Dresses Under $100

Everyone wants to look their best for the holidays, but especially now no one wants to pay a lot for a dress. We went out in search of 4 great dresses for under $100.

We fell in love with Velvet Torch’s Tiered Mesh Dress (left) for $48.00 at Nordstrom. It’s a different way to wear the little black dress and gives the illusion of skin without showing too much. You can put your own spin on it with fun or colorful accessories and the right shoes. The good news is that it’s a classic dress that’s also a great wardrobe basic to have in your closet.

Another dress we fell in love with was the Morgan & Company ruffled tiered dress (right). This dress was just flat out cute and was a great color. And for only $66.75 at Macys it’s a great buy that you can pretty much wear any season.

Morgan & Company also made another great dress, also available at Macys. Their Lace Strapless Bubble Dress (left) for $76.30 at Macys was another great steal. I love the teal color with the black lace overlay and the little ribbon belt on it was the perfect finishing touch.

Another dress with lace that I loved was Love Tease’s Sleeveless Emma Lace Dress (right), also at Macys. For $51.75 I thought it was a good deal and definitely something you could wear again for any party or semi-formal event. This is another dress that you could change up with accessories and something that is perfect for the holidays.
