Greetings Fashionistas! Shopping, parties...this time of year shines with all things decadent and a splash of goodwill to boot. To be on the cutting edge this season, take a cue from the usual places—get inspired by tinseltown's hottest celebs, and the runways' coolest designers.

Colors of the moment are seductive and supersaturated: passionate red, bewitching purple, rich chocolate and not-so- basic black. Follow the lead of those who heed a hedonistic call in a season where glam rock meets modern day baroque.
