Award Season: 2012 SAG Awards

As award season continues, the dresses are only getting bigger and better! Here's the best dressed from last night's ceremony:

I'm pretty picky when it comes to wearing green colors. However, Emily Blunt's Oscar de la Renta was a fun and refreshing pop of color. The SAGS are definitely a serious occasion but it's really the last opportunity to show off some major color like this before the Oscars. 

Sofia Vergara also wasn't afraid to shy away from the bright shades! As always, Sofia dressed her curves beautifully in this Marchesa number with some captivating jewels. 

Can she stop being so flawless?! Angelina Jolie has been looking absolutely perfect at every event she's attended these past few months. This sleek Jenny Packham dress fits her style so well! Her looks have been so "glamorous movie star" lately and I can't wait to see what she pulls off at the Oscars.

Only Michelle Williams could take such a simple dress(plus retro shoes) and look so breathtaking! Loved the lace on this Valentino gown which added so much fabulousness to this dress. Some say you can only be a Jackie or a Marilyn, but I think Michelle makes the perfect combination of both. So classy yet so saucy! Sidenote: Her pixie cut totally outdoes Mia Farrow's

Speaking of hot! Lea Michele is my favorite diva, especially at award season time. No one struts onto the red carpet quite like the Glee actress does. Lea wore this Versace dress with so much confidence, and why shouldn't she? She's only starting out as a young Hollywood but she easily blends into the A-list. Lea completely stole the show with this stunning look!

Award Season: 2012 Golden Globes!

Tis the season to wear Marchesa! The Golden Globes were a typical award season type of night. Meryl Streep won Best Actress, every Harvey Weinstein movie picked up an award, and fabulous dresses graced the red carpet. There were many gorgeous dresses from A-listers and newcomers! Here are the best looks of the night:

Does Kate Beckinsale ever not look drop dead gorgeous? I love how she had the classic award look going on with her Roberto Cavalli dress. Dripping in diamonds and a timeless dress. So flawless!

I have to give major credit to Sarah Hyland! For an actress who's just starting out, she really knows how to dress when it comes to these big events. The Modern Family star always looks well put together but I was taken back when she came out in this vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress. The lace texture was beautiful! Even though the majority of women wore nude and pale styles, Sarah's look was refreshingly diverse! 

She's back! After a few not so fabulous award show dresses, Nicole Kidman made a major comeback in this Versace number! The detailing on this gown was stunning. I love that it was a sleek look but was still daring. Last night, Nicole reminded everyone why we always adored seeing her on the red carpet!

Best Dressed: Tie between Angelina Jolie AND Nicole Richie

I've always been totally 100% Team Aniston, but I kind of fell into the Angelina Jolie stanning group last night. Don't get wrong, I think she's an amazing actress but her personal life always tainted her a little for me. However, the Globes changed that. This is the best Angie(yes I'm even using the nickname)has ever looked! For years she's had major A-list status, but last night Angelina truly looked like a legendary movie star. From the Atelier Versace to her humble interviews, Angelina completely won me over. But Pitt still has a long way to go....sorry you can't just leave Rachel Green and expect everyone to accept that! 

I couldn't choose between Nicole Richie and Angelina Jolie for Best Dressed because they both wore such different looks! Angelina was a classic beauty and Nicole had a more modern appearance. The retro hair and jewels were the perfect match for this Julien Macdonald dress!  The fashionista stayed true to her bohemian roots while also looking appropriate and classy for the event. And just check out the back of the dress! I'm totally against when girls wear plain dresses in the front and rely on the low drop of the back of the dress to jazz up the look. Nicole did exactly the opposite! The front of her gown was gorgeous but simple enough that the back of the dress could still be fun.

Overall, the Golden Globes were a stylish night! Can't wait to see more from these ladies at the SAG awards, Spirit Awards, and of course...the Oscars!

Fashion Friday: Top Five Favorites of the Week

5.

Smash

As a musical theater lover, I can't wait for the premiere of Smash! A show about what goes on behind the scenes during a Marilyn Monroe musical? Already sounds like perfection to me.

4.

The film production of Les Miserables has been off to a rocky start, so I had to let out a sigh of relief when Amanda Seyfried was casted as Cosette. The young actress is easily going to be a scene stealer while owning that iconic wedding dress and belting out the classic songs. Amanda has plenty of experience for this part thanks to her musical background. Here's to hoping the character of Eponine is also played by a well trained actress...

3.

New year, new designer guilty pleasure! As 2011 was winding down, it seemed Kate Spade was everywhere. The adorable brand sells irresistible clothes, jewels, shoes, phone covers, purses, and much more! Looking forward to investing much of my shopping time at this store this year.

2.

After an extremely long and unnecessary hiatus, the Vampire Diaries finally returned last night! Don't let the fact that it's on the CW keep you from watching this show. Not only does it have the hottest cast on television(Ian Somerhalder, swoon!), but every episode always ends with such a crazy cliffhanger that you'll be left begging for more. Although the show might not be known for its fashion, these characters are pretty much throwing a different party/fundraiser every week so there's plenty of couture eye candy to go around.

1.

This past week, Dior announced Mila Kunis as the new face for the brand. I would love to meet whoever is behind Dior's marketing team because they can seriously do no wrong! Charlize, Marion, Natalie, and now Mila? This fashion label has the best advertising campaigns with the some of the top leading ladies in Hollywood. 

Spring 2012 Trends and Styles

It's a new year and with spring around the corner, the seasonal styles are about to change! Get ready to box up those dark and heavy fabrics and add some liveliness to your closet. Here are some gorgeous trends to be on the lookout for this spring:

5.

Crop Tops

Crop top: Express

Don't get too excited. Crop tops are back but not in the way where you should channel your inner Britney circa 2000. For spring 2012, this trend has a more subtle approach. This style is the best way to achieve a bohemian summer look! However, even if you got the body for it, I wouldn't recommend wearing these without a tank top underneath. Kate Beckinsale, for instance, sported a cute crop top with a casual approach.

4.

Suits

Professional or casual, floral or pastel - suits are totally in! The blazer and shorts combo works perfectly whether you're going to work or out for cocktails with the girls. Even Eva Longoria has already tried out this amazing look a couple of times!

3. 

Abstract/Bold Patterns

Go bold or go home! Futuristic styles were a big hit at the Spring 2012 fashion shows. Since bold patterns can be tricky due to how they flatter your body or the statement they make, I prefer to take a light approach with this appearance. This shirt from Express follows the abstract style with the stripes and different colors, but does so in a less is more manner. For a more dramatic take on this look, take note from Amanda Seyfried:

2.
Jazz Age/Metallics

An important memo for this spring: dress like Daisy Buchanan! The roaring 20s are making a comeback this spring, taking vintage to a whole new level. Whip out those flashy clothing items and don't be afraid to let your dress be a little more flowy, and a little less tight fitting!

1.
Peplums

The biggest new trend of the season, but possibly the hardest to pull off. Women are usually trying to find clothes to distract from their their waistline, but this new style states that we should be doing the opposite. Diane Kruger looked fabulous when she wore a black peplum dress. The detailing was perfect, but didn't draw too much attention to her waistline or give her a hips a weird shape.
