2016 Golden Globes Best Dressed

Unpopular opinion? Everyone had something to say about Kate Hudson's cutout Michael Kors dress. Personally, I loved it. The look was refreshingly different with its 90s aesthetic. Despite being simplistic, it had some gorgeous subtle standouts like the dress' front and back contrast and sparkly choker. Sure, not the typical style for awards show but if anyone is going to show up to the Golden Globes using their abs as an accessory, it should be Kate Hudson.

Kind of hard to believe this is the same woman who delivered the iconic hit Just Dance, but whatever. Lady Gaga looked old Hollywood glam in her sleek Atelier Versace gown. Gaga is known to make an entrance wherever she goes and although this was more subdued compared to looks she's worn in the past, it still stayed true to her overall style. Diamonds, padded hips, and a hilarious moment with Leonardo DiCaprio - actress Lady Gaga is kind of fun!

That coloring! Olivia Wilde stunned in a shimmery burgundy Michael Kors dress. Wilde's look was complimented by the coloring of her jewels and hair/makeup. Didn't love the low ponytail she was sporting but the burgundy and gold combo looked so great on her that it's easy to forgive, forget, and add this as another one of Olivia's Globe moments. 

A lot of the time, actress- designer partnerships can get a little tiring and predictable. Hence why it's been so great to see Dior has been changing it up with the styling for Jennifer Lawrence. J Law's whole young and fun appeal should be showcased in her looks, just like when she first came onto the scene and was wowing us with intricate Louis Vuitton and super gorgeous Calvin Klein looks. Dior hit it right by putting Jen back in her slim fitting red and diverse cutouts. Following the theme of the night with abs and diamonds on display, Lawrence fit her title of the young, talented actress.

No glitter, no problem! Jennifer Lopez ditched her usual shimmer and shine last night for a totally different look. As JLo put it, her Giambattista Valli gown was "mustard yellow/marigold." The color left lots confused but the bright shade looked gorgeous with her complexion. Lopez still added a little of her flashy flare with the silver Jimmy Choo's, dress slit, and dramatic cape. Is there anything she can't do?

Fashion Friday: What's In My Bag

The Essentials

In honor of Fashion Friday, I thought I'd play my favorite game the magazines taught me as a child - What's In My Bag! When you carry around chic arm candy, such as my beloved Michael Kors bag, it's normal to be curious about the interior, so let's get to sharing...

Tiffany Sunglasses - Sunglass Hut

My baby! This is probably my most prized possession and if you've ever witnessed me refer to my sunglasses as Tiff (my apologies), this shouldn't exactly be a shock. This past winter, I entered my most dedicated commitment when I spotted these sunglasses and fell in love. They were a Christmas present and I have to admit, my love for the sunglasses was more religious than the actual holiday celebrations. Between the cat eye shape and bows on the side, I feel like a modern Audrey! (Bonus: they're polarized!)

Michael Kors iPhone 4 Case - Macy's

By now, it's pretty evident I have a strong addiction to all things blue or Michael Kors related. The shiny case makes it easy to not lose my phone at the bottom of my purse, and the color is surprisingly great for all seasons!

Icebreakers - Local Drug Stores

Yes, even the Icebreakers stick with the light blue theme. Nevertheless, these things are my life savers during hunger, after meals, and overall stress relievers. Who knew heaven could come in tiny mints...and only 5 calories.

Dior "Spring Ball" Lipgloss - Sephora

J'adore Dior! I'm more a of a lipgloss girl than lipstick but prefer applying cleanly with a brush (#firstworldproblems). This color is perfect for day or night as it gives the right amount of shimmer! Only issue is you can never tell when it's running out because of the case's outside shade. Obviously, not a fun surprise.

Michael Kors Wallet - Michael Kors store

I swear I don't work for Michael Kors (although I would 100% be down for that), the obsession is just very strong. This wallet is the perfect size with the most convenient amount of compartments. The rose gold color only adds to it's shimmer!

Donna Karan Cashmere Mist Lotion - Macy's, Mirror - Drug Store 

The necessities! Purell is great and all but Donna Karan's Cashmere Mist hand lotion makes your hands super soft and smell beautiful. And the mirror is a fun, flashy, and very helpful accessory Santa dropped in my stocking this year.

Into the Seasons: Fall/Winter 2013 Ads

Fall fashion is just around the corner! While the department stores begin to unload the seasonal change, here are some of the the top fall designer advertisements about to be splashed across the city.

Style Obsession: Olivia Pope

Summer beach days can be a little tough to predict on the east coast. Hence why it's so important to have your latest addictive show ready to hit play on Netflix. For me, it's been Scandal. After missing out on all the Twitter viewing parties, I finally decided to check out all that hype on ABC's hottest show. After two weeks of rainy days centered around marathoning, my gut was telling me I was obsessed. It's hard not to fall in love with Olivia Pope. Her sassiness, hot affairs, and impeccable style make politics actually seem like a good time. And while many of us can't get our wish to be Olivia Pope, we can at least take a few notes and copy her style (seriously, is gladiator in a suit synonym for fashionista?!). Some of Liv's most stylish moments:

Best Dressed: Golden Globes 2013

Roll out the red carpet and couture, award season has begun!

Katharine McPhee switched up her game a little with this sultry look. Stepping away from her typical sweet and girly appearances, Katharine was sleek in her black, revealing dress. Not only did she give Angie's left leg a little dress slit competition, but she was part of the few to break away from the bright color theme of the night. If you're going to basic with black during award season, you better make it a standout look. And with a fierce topknot like that, Katharine definitely stood out!

J'adore Dior! Ah, the power of the French. Marion Cotillard probably had the simplest appearance at the awards but still looked incredible. The coloring, the draping, even the lack of jewels - all looked effortlessly timeless! 

Continuing the trend of simplicity, Hayden Panettiere stunned in a Roberto Cavalli gown. White slash slightly pink? However you want to define the color tone, it was gorgeous and completely complimented her youthfulness.  In addition, that fit was perfect for her petite frame.

While the neutrals and natural looks were a pleasant change, it's still not a red carpet unless there's some high fashion show stoppers. For Emily Blunt, her fashion moment came in a Michael Kors cutout. The British actress looked elegant in her gold gown and unique texture (Shimmer? Flowery? What is it?). Emily kept it modern and classic. 

When presenters steal the nominees fashion moments (another theme of the night). This past year, Kate Hudson has been all glamour so it only made sense that she'd strut into the Globes like the epitome of Hollywood royalty. Only Hudson's bubbly persona could make a dramatic McQueen dress look sweet and sophisticated.
