Thanks to an unexpected mid-November heatwave (you have to love the Southwest), I am running around in Gypsy 05's iconic Simple Organic Maxi Dress in peach and pink lemonade Trove Tkees sandals. Tuesday was freezing, however, so I piled on one style trend after another to keep warm. To top off my tights and sweater and booties, I cinched my waist with my favorite Linea Pelle belt. Even though I haven't quite admitted to myself how much I splurged on that belt, I've worn it quite a bit, making it one of my most used purchases this fall. This makes perfect sense, since the belt trend is one of the most visible ones around. Basically, add a belt on top of any sweater, shirt or dress and you're suddenly on trend.
Though just about any belt will do to get you on trend (especially if you tie it instead of fastening it properly), this brand has stolen my heart because of their unique styles that you see nowhere else. From the Vintage Pieced Leather Belt with its decidedly seventies, hippie feel to the very modern Pyramid Studded Hip Belt seen on Gwen Stefani, I love them all. Plus, they make the most HiPPi of all accessories, the cuff bracelet. Though I'm mentioning them almost as an afterthought, Linea Pelle purses are hugely popular with celebrities and for good reason. Basically every item made by this brand is just perfect.
A style blog for the fashionably, socially and financially conscious.

Brands We Love - Nation Ltd.
We have mentioned a few brands we love in the past and now have decided that this should definitely be a regular feature for Sequins. In the past we've told you about SPiCY's discovery of Nightcap Clothing, our crush on some of the styles from Dollhouse Jeans, the fabulous magazine clutches from Paparazzi and Hippi's new love Gypsy 05. On the facebook page and on twitter, Hippi has repeatedly made reference to how enamored she is with Nation Ltd's Central Park dress and added a link to the slideshow of Nation Ltd's Fall 2010 styles which are now in stores.Running down a list of celebrities that are fans of Nation Ltd. would be just as ridiculously long as the one in the Gypsy 05 post. It includes mega-stars like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Anniston, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Simpson, Katherine Heigl, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christina Aguilera and more. Quite a few fashionistas have been seen sporting Nation Ltd, including Rachel Zoe, Whitney Port, all the Kardashian sisters, Mary Kate Olsen, Nicole Ritchie, both Hilton sisters, Leighton Meester, Lauren Conrad - the list goes on and on.
Hippi's favorites from Nation Ltd are the tee shirt comfy styles that are more than just their basic tees. What sets them apart from other t-shirt brands that are popular among celebrities, like LnA and Wildfox, are styles like their Nice tunic, the Cairo dress, the Delaware wrap, the Grecian dress, and the Central park dress about which Hippi keeps raving.
They are also pretty widely available both online and in boutiques nationwide.

September's Crushes
I am one of those people that falls completely in love with something and is obsessed with it for a bit, then totally gets over it because I become obsessed with something else. My husband refers to them as my "crushes." Since many of my "crushes" are beauty and fashion related, I thought it might make a nice monthly post for the blog. These are my top ten must haves that I cannot live without at the moment.

My blackberry romantic ruffle dress is a favorite of mine.

Gypsy Queens
One brand we have fallen hard for this summer is Gypsy 05. It is a special favorite of HippiChickiNiki whose handle is quite an apropos description for her easy boho-chic style. Apparently, Niki isn't alone since this brand has been seen on Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge, Christina Aguilera, Denise Richards, Taylor Spreitler, Shay Mitchell, Sarah Drew, Lauren Conrad, Lisa Rinna, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Nicky Hilton, Kelly Rutherford, Khloe Kardashian, Alessandra Ambrosio, Kathleen Robertson, Vanessa Minnillo, Jennifer Stone, Kendra Wilkinson, Lady Gaga, Jana Kramer, Brianna Brown, Jessica Hart, Ashley Tisdale, Beverly Mitchell, AnnaLynne McCord, Whitney Port, Tori Spelling, Anna Kournikova, Miley Cyrus, Taylor Momsen, Kim Kardashian, Haylie Duff, Lindsey Lohan, Hayden Panettiere, Selena Gomez, Ali Fedotowsky, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Jessica Alba.
HippiChickiNiki's particular favorites are the Bella Silk flutter maxi dress and mini dress, the Adela jumpsuit, the Nelly tube jumper, the Simple Organic maxi dress, the Rena Flutter-sleeve minidress, the Giselle maxi dress, the Marlee minidress, the Fara dress, the Emma tube long dress, the Gara silk flutter mini dress and the Horizon belted dress. All of these would go beautifully with the ALDO Gorill gladiator sandals (now on sale!) that she wears quite frequently or her favorite Pedro Garcia Gem ankle wrap flats. One of the Rebecca Minkoff Nikki bags we discussed on Friday would be a perfect match. We also envision pairing them with Gorjana wrap necklaces or lariats, lots of bangle bracelets, huge hoop earrings and messy side ponytail or loose side bun to complement the effortless hippie style of the clothes.
Gypsy 05 is for sale at Singer 22, Shop the Trend Boutique, Black Label Boutique, REVOLVEclothing, ASOS, Amazon, Blue Heaven Boutique and on the brand's own website.
