2014 Emmy's : Best Dressed

Sarah Hyland

The Modern Family actress got one last good use of the summer crop top style with this trendy yet elegant look. The coral Christian Siriano skirt was poofy enough for award season but playful enough to highlight Sarah's youth. On a totally bias note, loving the ombré pulled into the bun!

Lizzy Caplan

Oh Janis, if Regina George could see you now! Now THIS is how you wear a cutout, revealing dress in a classy (and safe!) way. Lizzy Caplan stunned in this DKNY Atelier gown. And that drop in the back - gorgeous gorgeous!

Sofia Vergara 

Sure it's nothing crazy, but it's definitely different from Sofia's usual mermaid gowns. The white Roberto Cavalli with her blonde hair gives a sweet, angelic vibe!

Camila Alves 

She might be there as a date but don't count Camila out as just some good arm candy. Matthew McConaughey's leading lady looked absolutely timeless in this abstract Zuhair Murad. Total knockout!

Gwen Stefani

God damn god damn GOD DAMN! Beautiful! I'm not a huge fan of the hair/makeup as it makes Gwen look almost unrecognizable but that outfit! The glitter, that cut, the fact that it's a two piece  - so classic. Versace, fierce as always. 

Kerry Washington 

What better way to mark the return of primetime TV than with Olivia Pope. Even through her pregnancy, Washington never shied away from fashion risks so it's no shocker her look was one of the more different looks of the night. The orange Prada with the blue glittery peek a boo in her slit was a gorgeous Emmys look. A little end of summer, a little fall fashion, and a whole lot of chic. Best Dressed - it's handled.

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.

The Best of NYFW!

After a week of tracking the fabulous new Fall/Winter 2012 collections, New York Fashion Week has come to an end. While I'll miss having my Twitter feed flooded with new runway updates every morning, I'm excited to share some of my favorite collections! Choosing only a few designers seems selfish and a little too Sophie's Choice but I managed to scout out some highlights anyways...

DKNY/Donna Karan 

       

  

First off, Donna Karan is the epitome of perfection. Her two fashion shows(which could not have been more different) were jaw dropping gorgeous. While her DKNY show was youth driven, the actual Donna Karan line had more of a retro, sleek appeal. I loved how DKNY seemed to have captured a modern woman in NYC and Donna Karan showed a sophisticated woman with a 40's NYC inspired gangster style. The highlight? It had to have been that beautiful tailoring! 

Jenny Packham

Lately, Jenny Packham has transformed into one of the go to red carpet designers, and after this show her credibility will only increase. Packham's designs always include beautiful detailing from the sleeves to lace to those extraordinary sequins. The designer certainly delivered her usual flare and more at NYFW. Her dresses included contemporary designs but also showed a little retro throwback, which seemed to be a popular theme this past week. Nevertheless, Packham's dresses had me swooning! Can't wait to see her usual fan favorites, like Angelina Jolie and Vanessa Hudgens, strut some of these dresses on future red carpets.

         

      

Oscar de la Renta

Ah Oscar! Can you believe this man is turning 80 soon? Oscar de la Renta is full of charm, whether it's coming from his dazzling personality or beautiful designs. His Fall/Winter 2012 collection was simply timeless. His looks diversified with themes of magic, royalty, fantasy, and much more. Oscar captivates everything that makes one a legendary designer. A design is truly special when it literally makes you gasp for air, which is why the Oscar de la Renta show was my personal favorite of New York Fashion Week. 

 

 

       

Fashion Review: 2011 Emmy's

Modern Family might have swept the majority of awards Sunday night but it was a battle for the ultimate prize on the red carpet. Different actresses wowed audiences with their stunning gowns. Here's a look at the best looks of the night...

Nina Dobrev looked red hot! The Vampire Diaries actress was easily the best dressed of the night. This Donna Karan dress had a beautiful structure. I adore Nina, but was not expecting her to steal the show! She's never been well known for her fashion status but hopefully that's all about to change. Between this and her Emmy's dress from last year, Nina is making her mark in the fashion world!

This is what happens when your date is a fabulous movie star. Emily Blunt supported her hubby John Krasinski and brought some fun to the Emmy's! The abstract Ellie Saab dress is the perfect transition from summer to fall. I think Miranda Priestly would approve of this gorgeous pattern!

Julie Bowen was full of surprises on Sunday night! Not only did she win her first Emmy, but she also wore a sleek dress while doing so. Who says comedic actresses can't dress well? Julie took a fun twist on on a basic color.

I love Lea Michele and Marchesa so much! This collaboration was stunning, however, I wasn't overwhelmed by it. Lea looked fab but she's had more extravagant looks in the past. I do have to give credit to Lea for wearing a toned down look for a change. Whether it's Oscar de la Renta or Marchesa, she knows how to work those big labels!

Does Sofia Vergara ever not look incredible? Gorgeous combination of the bright jewelry with her Vera Wang gown.

I feel like Martha Plimpton isn't getting enough credit for this dress! I love the classic style and winter color. Very classy and old Hollywood! (Also, bonus points for being part of this hilarious setup)

Hope everyone had a great start to award season! So much more red carpet action is just around the corner.
