Denim is officially out! Ok…not really. So your favorite pair of Paige or Levi’s will always be your wardrobe staple, but it’s fair to say that jeans on the red carpet or at the hottest new club are a thing of the past.

I’ve had my eye on this Ulla Johnson Ynez Dress for weeks now. I absolutely adore the bright fuschia color, girly ruffles and glam satin fabric. Another great pick for girls on a budget is the Embellished Dress from Urban Outfitters. The bright teal color and cool detailing on the front make this dress really

I'll just be completely honest here for a minute. When I first heard that Lucite was becoming a trend I thought that would never work. I thought it looked cheap and trashy! However, I was watching "Style Her Famous" on the Style Network the other night and Mr. J had put lucite bangles on a girl wearing a long strapless mineral blue gown. It was so gorgeous, and I became hooked right then. Now, a mistake would be wearing a bracelet, necklace and earrings all at the same time, but if you just incorporate one piece into your outfit it will look very stunning. Here are some great picks:
