star style

Monday, March 8, 2010



Good morning! I brought you your own vintage thermos because today we're on the go--Chai Tea Latte in one, strong black coffee in the other--please have a cup with me on this chilly Monday morning, we have style rounds to make! First, thank you so much for all the lovely birthday wishes. I had a great few days of doing nothing but indulging in food, wine, and merry-making!

So on to the Oscars! The red carpet was nothing if not whimsical this year, which is something I have often been accused of in my own designs, so I was happy to see a happier lighter vibe at the awards.



Sandra Bullock, beautiful in a champagne column gown by Marchesa. More champagne below: Miley Cyrus in a Jenny Packham gown.



Somber colors at the Oscars are getting tired, but the exception was Kristen Stewart in this Monique Lhuillier gown. She looked great!



This Elie Saab blush gown with Anna Kendrick's creamy skin was so beautiful!



Finally, Cameron Diaz sparkled in Oscar de la Renta.




Now that the glitz is out of the way for another year, there's Fashion Week in London, Milan, and Paris to consider. If you've been keeping tabs on the shows then you know that coats were the stars on the Fall '10 runways. I'll have more on this later this week, but for now, we'll wrap things up with these fabulous new fitted silhouettes.

I will gladly accept a cup, darling! I didn't watch the Oscars; but I browsed through the evening's looks afterwards and fell in love with the gowns of both Nicole Richie and Miley Cyrus - absolutely stunning!

And that Sophia Kokosalaki ensemble? Can it please just magically materialize in my closet? I absolutely adore it!! :)

The nude look seems to have been pretty popular this year...and I have to say, these ladies made it look good. And I don't know if it's just me, but I wish Kristen Stewart would smile every now and then.

These are some gorgeous outfits! The silver dress has such a flattering gradient effect too. The first champagne dress fits Sandra like a dream, the lace insert is very in as well. Oh my god! And that black mermaid shaped dress is to die for! The silhouette on the last coat is so chic!
