Runway Resort 2011

Ahh, Resort season in the fashion world. Those summery, kinda-realistic styles that you can ALMOST imagine the cool girls wearing on warm nights in the cities.

Here's a few highlights:


This is something I'd generally hate, but Abbey Lee looks so peacefully beachy I'm crazy about it:

(that was curtesy of Chanel, you really should go through the whole lookbook, it changes styles several times while keeping the same relaxed feel, Lagerfeld is master.)

Tibi goes for some fresh colors:



Rag and Bone tries some edgy summer dresses:



Yves St. Laurent and the best summer ruffles I've seen;



Dior went really Barbie, which usually I love, but this time left me a bit cold:



Chris Benz, something striking:


Oscar De La Renta, something classy with a bit of fun:



DKNY, really I only put this cuz I love the styling of the hair and makeup:

Red Carpet Fashion: Oscars

Dissapointing season again...what's with this?

Still, a few winners I can salvage and display:


i know this might be unpopular, and i typically hate Miley's red carpet style, but I think she looked brilliant at the Oscars. Perfect fit, lovely color, and adore the hair and makeup!

This would have been my favorite gown if it had been in electric blue or cream or mint. The style is stunning. Mariska Hagartiy isn't especially beautiful, but this is such a good dress!

Honestly, I chose this because I love the pink matte lipstick paired with the blue of the dress. props for prints on the red carpet...though I wish Maggie Gyllenhaal would start wearing a bra:

This is a not-quite-as-wonderful version of Miley's gown. It's here because I love the hair blowout, and Cameron Diaz hasn't looked this good on the red carpet in years!

Honestly, I just love the dress on Karlie Kloss. but Jennifer Lopez gives it her best, and if she was posing better, it would have actually been gorgeous. This gown is inspired by the moon:

Still going back and forth on this one. Zoe's dress (no surprise) got the most attention. What do I think? The top is flawless. The bottom, I still can't decide. Any opinions?

New York Fashion Week: Oscar De La Renta

From this collection, I think the hair and makeup are flawless. The layering and colors are also beautiful!




There have been so many shows during New York's fashion week, I'm having a hard time picking which ones I want to most show you!
Since we still have about a foot of snow on the ground, I decided to go with one very wintery...but delightfully elegant, too.

Enjoy Oscar De La Renta!
