Valentine's Day Blushing by hautechild featuring a ruffle dress
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and this year proves to be a little different than previous years, but I am so looking forward to sharing my Valentine's Day with the two loves of my life. With that being said, I am slightly obsessed with blush tones. They are so flattering and with all of the pastels this season, there is plenty to choose from. Here are some of my favorites. They are all so girly and fabulous; it so puts me in the Valentine's Day spirit.

2012 SAG Awards
1/30/2012
Things that made me incredibly happy about last night's SAG awards: the resurgence of fabulous ponytails (Diane Lane, Jane Krakwoski - I'm talkin' to you), the lack of headbands (Thank you celebs for getting the message after the Golden Globes); and Marchesa, Oscar, and McQueen. Here are some of my favorite looks from last night.
[Emma Stone in McQueen, Emily Blunt in Oscar de la Renta, and John Krasinski in Prada]
McQueen is a favorite of mine and Emma Stone in McQueen is basically perfection. And there was probably not a better dressed or adorable couple on the red carpet than Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Her Oscar de la Renta paired with his midnight blue tux, to die for. Also, he knew the designer of her gown AND did a little dance at her request during a red carpet interview.
[Michele in Versace, Cuoco in Romona Keveza]
Lea Michele's look for the Golden Globes got a lot of commentary. I personally loved it, but a lot of people thought it wasn't her, it was too grown up. Last night she showed up in Versace looking pretty fantastic. I'm not sure if I would have gone with her shoe choice, but all-in-all, I think it was a win.
Given my recent love of the color mint, I couldn't not include Kaley Cuoco in this Kevaza confection. Gorgeous, loved it. And I even dug the braided handmaiden hair.
[Sedgwick in Pucci, Saldana in Givenchy]
I wish I could run down the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, mostly because I love him and Kyra Sedgwick. And I want to look like her when I'm older...so at least want the name of her plastic surgeon. I think that she looked flawless and fabulous.
Zoe Saldana rocked a Givenchy frock...absolutely stunning and forward thinking. Loved the white color.
And last but certainly not least, Marchesa. All of the ladies that were dressed by Marchesa looked absolutely amazingly spectacular. I loved all of the dresses (and the ladies who wore them).
So what were your favorites? Was there a celebrity that I overlooked?

2012 Golden Globes
1/16/2012The theme of fashion at the Golden Globes this year: High Ponytails, Neutrals, and Headbands...oh my!!
Awards season is upon us...and I have to admit in my pre-occupied state of cooking a baby and getting ready for his arrival, I practically overlooked it. What is wrong with me?!?! Sunday's show did not disappoint (How can you not love a drinking Ricky Gervais?!) and here are some of my favorite looks from last night.

Sunday's show did not disappoint (How can you not love a drinking Ricky Gervais?!) and here are some of my favorite looks from last night.
Charlize Theron: In Dior and museum piece jewelry (way to up the ante!). Some didn't like the bow, I thought that it was just enough.
Emma Stone: in Lavin. Loved the two-tone and the risk with the eagle belt buckle. I mean how cool is she?!
Jessica Alba: In Gucci. She's made my list for the sole fact that she is my post baby body inspiration, but I do love the dress and thought she looked fabulous.
Lea Michele: In Marchesa. I'm a sucker for a Marchesa dress. This dress was incredibly out of the box for her usual classic look on the red carpet and I think she looked flawless. Great choice and it got people talking. Rachel Berry isn't in high school anymore!
Reese Witherspoon: In Zac Posen. Definitely wins the risk-taker of the night award for going so far out of her usual good-girl box and totally rocking it. Reese is usually a favorite of mine on the Red Carpet, but I was stunned with how amazing she looks. Marriage and happiness suits her well.
Sofia Vergara: In Vera Wang; "She sends me dresses that they zip and they close." How can you not love her?! And the color was absolutely gorgeous and a nice break from all of the neutrals
Elle MacPherson: In Zac Posen; She's kinda got a Benjamin Button thing going on and I want to know her secrets!
Nicole Richie: In Julien MacDonald; She looked absolutely flawless and I'm kinda obsessed with her bangs. Not to mention the clutch is House of Harlow. You have to appreciate a designer who stands behind her brand.
Claire Danes: In J. Mendel; How could you not love the back of this gown?? And overall, she looked stunning.
Even Rachel Wood: In Gucci; Anything with feathers and sequins, I'm totally in and all about.
So who made your list?? Are there any on my list you disagree with??

Friday Eye Candy: NYFW
9/16/2011
New York Fashion Week has finally come to a close yesterday and as always it did not disappoint!
[Oscar de la Renta]
As always, this fashion designer did not disappoint. I've always been a fan of Oscar's classic design, but this year he played it up with prints, beading, and fur.
[Marchesa]
I am in love with Marchesa's formal wear and their runway was filled with tons of tulle and beading. I have an unhealthy love of tulle.
[Vera Wang]
This year Vera opted for cleaner lines with a more muted palette. I've always been a fan of Vera and as much as a love her more classic, voluminous looks, I adored this divergence from the usual for her. I think it showed a great amount of versatility with her design.
[Rachel Zoe]
This was the designer's first show at NYFW and from everything I've seen and read, she rocked it out. Everyone is raving about the contrast and unexpected pairings that she is famous for.
[Carolina Herrera]
No real surprises here! Herrera has dress-design down to a fine art. This year she updated the looks with bold colors and different silhouettes. Isn't this dress to die for?!
[DVF]
I love Diane's design and her as a business woman. This collection included bold prints, oversized dresses, as well as plenty of tailored pieces. Totally worth checking out!
[Jason Wu]
This designer has been loved by many a celebrity and is known for his lady-like designs, but fashion-forward flair. This collection was on par with what he has delivered in the past. And the above skirt makes my heart go pitter-patter.
What were some of your NYFW favorites? Did you see anything that was surprising or disappointing?

The BAFTA Gala was held over this past weekend and the stars and royals did not disappoint! Blake Lively and Kate Middleton wore two of my favorite designers, Marchesa and McQueen respectively. And they were breathtaking! Both of these dresses are to-die-for and both wore them as if the dresses were designed for the starlet and Duchess. Honestly, they probably were.
Another fave from the night: Jennifer Garner. She typically is spot on with her fashion choices and is one of my favorites because she looks amazing in everything from jeans and a t-shirt to a formal gown.
What did you think of the fashion? The royals? Any favorites from over the weekend?

2011 MTV Movie Awards
6/07/2011
Truthfully, I outgrew MTV years ago. However, the fact that I did not actually watch the awards show does not make me any less interested in the fashion choices of the attendees. It's a great opportunity for stars to dress a little out of their comfort zone; which can either be good or bad.
From what I heard, I didn't miss much (besides maybe the trailer to the new "Breaking Dawn" movie) as far as content is concerned. I'm happy to just get the recaps online. So what did you think? Who were your favorites and who were walking disasters?
With March Madness being over, I can now devote more time on things that really matter; like fashion, and celebrity gossip, and trashy reality TV. (Hubs is so excited, I know.) This past awards season a noticed a large amount of celebrities donning Marchesa for their red carpet events. This isn't anything new or unusual; Marchesa has always been a go-to for celebrities. However, they are consistently the most amazing and unique dresses I have seen. I absolutely adore them. So do my friends, Blake, Olivia, and Hailee. Now if only I could up my dress budget!
