One of the big color trends for the fall/winter 2012 season is red. This va-va-voom hue also happens to be a classic color for the holiday season! Since red is red-hot for the current season and is perfect for the holidays, it is only natural that this is the perfect color for an evening handbag to spice up a holiday ensemble!

A red clutch for a holiday soiree is a great, festive accessory to brighten up a little black dress or a sparkling little metallic number. A red clutch is also a great investment handbag since this vibrant handbag can easily be worn every holiday season! Love that!

We found a few fabulous red evening clutches around the web and assembled them into this article. Hope you love them! Happy shopping and stay fabulous

The winter season is fast approaching which means the holiday party season is almost here. The holidays are a sparkling, festive time when everyone finds themselves invited to at least one fabulous soiree. While many holiday parties are held at night, on a Saturday or Sunday, other parties are held on a weekday; which means there is little time to switch from office attire to a holiday party ensemble.

Never fear, the day into evening dress is here! The wonderful thing about day into evening dresses is that they deliver on what they promise. A quick change of shoes and jewelry with the addition of a sparkling evening clutch can turn almost any office appropriate dress into a festive party ensemble. Love that!

The best dresses for day into evening looks are solid in color and offer a slim, sheath silhouette. We took three fabulous, simple office appropriate dresses and created day into evening looks through the Polyvore sets included in this article. We hope you love them! Happy Holidays and enjoy your soiree!

Metallics are hot for fall 2012 and they have been hot for the past few years. Metallic fabrications, embellishments and touches have been of-the-moment for the past few years and are showing no sign of stopping as we head into the fall season.

Each season silver, pewter, yellow gold and rose gold have been popping up as important parts of the seasonal color spectrum. While each metallic hue takes center stage every season, all of them are relevant and on trend. For fall 2012, yellow gold is the hottest metallic color; but this does not mean the other shades should be put into storage-keep all metallics front and center in your closet!

As with previous seasons, metallics are a great way to spice up a neutral ensemble or add some fire to a colorful outfit. Metallics can be found everywhere on accessories, garments and fingertips! Metallics have also found a small place in eye make-up for the fall season; but beware-metallic eye make-up is appropriate for evenings only while nail polish is appropriate for all occasions and times of the day J

When wearing metallics this fall season, look for one metallic statement piece for each outfit; no head-to-toe metallics!

This is one trend which you may be able to find in your closet from a previous season. If not, there are many fabulous options on store shelves for metallics this fall 2012 season. What is your favorite way to wear metallics? Are you a gold, silver, pewter or rose gold girl? Happy shopping and stay fabulous
