My Oscar Faves

My Oscar Faves!

Award season is one of my favorite seasons in the fashion industry.

It falls right behind NYFW and most of that reason is because

of all of the suspense. As soon we the limo's and town cars

start pulling up to the red carpet, it feels like I am about to

open a huge present on Christmas. I can't wait to see what

is going to be revealed and in award season sense, to see

who is wearing what. To be honest, all of the award shows

leading up to the Oscars did not leave a good impression on

me. While everyone looked beautiful, I didn't feel like anyone

had that perfect cinderella moment. However when it came to

this years Oscar's I felt like a couple of the girls and their

stylists hit it out of the ballpark.

Here are my Top Four Favorites!

It is my own personal opinion that beautiful
Naomi Watts goes underneath the radar sometimes
and is not recognized for how beautiful she really
dresses. She shimmered in this floor length
Armani Prive structured gown and balanced
out the structure and fit of the dress with a
messy up-do. Love, love, love!

Jessica Chastain has hit the nail on the head on
almost every red carpet not to menschen this one.
It is no surprise she landed on this list because she
looked absolutely flawless. For such a serious
and intense movie she played the lead role in
it's a beautiful foil to see her all glamorous. No
one does a sparkly number like Armani.

One of my absolute favorites this year was Amy
Adams who dazzled in a custom made
Oscar de la Renta. With those words alone, there
is no way you can go wrong. The big ball gown
began with a vintage photo and ended up in this
masterpiece.

I thought Jennifer Garner looked absolutely stunning at
this years Oscars. Her look was elegant and classic, but the
color gave it a pop of trendiness and life. Her Gucci Dress and
Vintage Neil Lane Necklace was the perfect accessory
and not over the top to steal the shine from "Best Picture"
winner husband, Ben Affleck.

Day Deux

 Fashion

 

 

 

Don't worry I won't be writing a blog every single day

of fashion week telling you what my favorite looks are,

but it just happens to be that I am sitting at home solo

during a blizzard and the only thing someone decent on
TV right now is The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

 

Between running up and down the stairs 10 times to convince

myself I was participating in cardio activity, I spent a good chunk

of the day watching Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Live which is

ah-mazing since I can't be there this season. I am so in love

with some of the looks I saw coming down the runway and at

still presentations that I thought I would share a few

of my favorites.

 

Kate Spade New York
The collection always looks so effortlessly
Upper East-side chic meets rock and roll edge.
Kudo's to Brad Goreski for styling this collection!

 



Another Kate Spade New York
I just love a beautiful bow!



Pleather of Leather at
Sally LaPointe



Taking the Plunge in
Rebecca Minkoff

Loving this oversize fur coat from
Jason Wu. Everyone could have used
a coast like this today...

I hope that all of you stuck in

My Fashion Week

Must Haves

 

 

There are only a couple times a year when I travel and

pack 10x more than what I actually need. Fashion Week is

not one of them. Why you might ask? Despite running around

the city amongst some of the worlds most fabulous and

fashionable people, packing for NYFW requires a lot

of planning and strategizing.

 

For those of you who have traveled and stayed

in a NYC hotel room you know that the rooms regardless

of where you stay(unless you can afford a $4k a night penthouse)

are relatively small, and when I say small, I mean small.

. Walk in closet? Lots of Drawers?

Absolutely not.

 

A little Crop of Leather

 

Bailey 44, Neiman Marcus
Throw a leather crop over a cocktail dress for an
edgy look or throw over dark skinny's and your good to go.


A Hint of Sequin

Badgley Mischka, Rent the Runway
Whether your going to an after party for
Marc Jacobs or dining at Tao with the girls, you
always need that sparkly little dress to set the mood.
 

Favorite Skinny's

3.1 Phillip Lim Trousers, Nordstrom

A pair of skinny black pants is key for fashion week.
Between all of the events and shows, it is a staple to have them
whether one night your pairing them with a silk blouse and fur fest
or a sexy feminine blouse with an excessive amount of jewelry.


Go-To Pumps

YSL Pumps, Neiman Marcus

If you've ever been to NYFW before,

you know that there can be lots of walking and

standing depending on the show. Whether your walking

from show to show or grabbing a bite to eat, you want

to make sure that the shoes on your feet are comfy and

broken in. I also suggest bringing your favorite pair of

pumps in a few different colors: black, nude and something

fun whether its silver, gold or a fun pattern. If you have

room, sneak a chic pair of black ballet flats to keep with you

just incase...

 

 

The Jewels



CA&LOU, Saks Fifth Avenue
Whether you want one piece or
pile on 5 something I never skimp on
bringing is lots of jewelry. Accessorizing
is the perfect way to pull together and bringing
it from 0 to 100 by adding chunky bracelets, huge
cocktail rings or wearing a eye
catching statement necklace.




Pull The Clutch

From show to show, the last thing you
want to be lugging around is a 25 lb. purse,
which is where having a handful of clutches
come in handy. Even though they may not be
that big, the right clutch can make a huge
statement and pull an outfit all together.
Make sure you bring a couple options,
some for dinner, shows, lunch and
after parties. You can never have enough
options!

Alexander McQueen



Bottega Veneta

Dolce & Gabbana

 

 

Have a good day and

maybe I'll see some of you at

NYFW?
