Christmas is just around the corner so you know what that means, Christmas Parties! Sequins are a must because it's all about the sparkle this year.

Twenty and thirty year old fashionistas can go crazy with the sequins. I love the pouf sleeves or an adorable bow. A cute sequined top is great with skinny jeans or leather pants, metallic clutch and funky open toe booties.

Over forty women always have to be careful with sequins or else you will look like one of the Golden Girls. I would keep it to a minimal. A sleek pantsuit with a sequined bustier or top is ideal.

Remember that you don't have to spend a fortune. Stores like Forever 21, Zara, H&M, French Connection and designer resale stores have affordable dresses ranging from $48 to $300. Have fun and have a bless fashionable Christmas.

Fabulous Events

"Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" Press Night In London


Sanaa Lathan looks incredible in this electric blue jersey dress. I guess she and Gabrielle Union finally got the memo on wearing delicious color!

Screening of "Invictus"

Hilary Swank looks amazing as always in this gorgeous navy draped high-split Calvin Klein dress paired with gold strappy Jimmy Choo sandals.

I can't wait to see this movie starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela directed by Clint Eastwood.

25th Film Independent Spirit Award Nominations


Taraji P. Henson should always wear her hair like this because it's beyond fabulous. She looks great in this charcoal sparkly see-thru sweater paired with a simple charcoal pencil skirt.

World Premiere Of The New Audi Pavillion

Lucy Liu looks chic as ever in this sensational asymmetric Lanvin belted dress.

Va Va Voom! Christina Ricci chose a more sexier silhouette with this burgundy cut-out open back dress.

I know this may be to much for most people but she is working the hell out of this dress! I also adore her bronze strappy heels and Chanel bag.

Which Diva Wore It Better? Audrey Tatuou Or Lucy Liu

Audrey Tautou Or Lucy Liu

Actress Audrey Tautou first wore this fabulous black asymmetric Lanvin belted dress to the "Coco Before Chanel" Los Angeles Premiere. Audrey always look like a chic 1920's movie star. She paired her dress with a black clutch and platform heels.

Lucy Liu wore hers to the world premiere of the the Audi Pavillion event. Lucy also look divine in this dress. She also paired her dress with a black clutch and black peep-toe YSL heels.

Both women look great but Audrey just has that extra edge so she wins!

Amber Heard

The daughters of Oscar de la Renta's clientele are all clinging to the new hot designer because he understands the fashion needs of women from the ages of 25-40(Iman is an exception). They want to look like Park Avenue chic women without the stuffiness. Jason Wu delivers their request on a silver platter.

Since First Lady Michelle Obama wore his glorious white one-shoulder gown to the Inaugural Ball, Jason wu instantly became a household name. He experiments with interesting prints and fabrics and intertwine magic with both elements.

Designers come and go. I have a feeling Jason Wu will be around for the next generation.

Another Day, Another Crummy Iraq/A-stan Movie

Opening Night for "Brothers"

Not sure what it is about Hollywood, but when it comes to war movies about Iraq and Afghanistan, they seem to crank out more duds than a Chinese fireworks factory. This latest installment is called "Brothers" and is a remake of a Danish film from 2005 about the stereotypical Marine that comes back home and goes bonkers. Pretty dull and contrived stuff. Here's what Blackfive has to say:

More likely, I think, is the possibility that this is just another Big Hollywood movie that stereotypes soldiers or Marines as angry (because the military is where people go when they can't get into prison!), humorless men (which is why they don't go to college!) who scream a lot, beat up on family members, hate hippies (because they hate their own latent homosexuality!), throw dishes for no good reason at all, and beat up on women and little brothers.

It's not that all of the good coming home movies were "pro-war", but rather the characters in them seemed a lot less phony in movies like The Best Years of Our Lives and Born on the 4th of July. I mean, seriously, Tobey Maguire's character is looking like he's auditioning to be the third Bushwhacker in Wrestlemania V.

Maybe if the production didn't look like it belonged on Michael Moore's Youtube page, it might be worth seeing. But until more vets start becoming filmmakers and more involved in the creative arts, I predict we're going to see turd after turd on the touchy subject of the modern veteran. If the VA can actually figure out how to pay out on the GI Bill, perhaps we could have some decent war movies hitting the big screen.
