Which are your favorite fall trends? I’m loving Bordeaux, and it’s coming back with a vengeance from last fall, look for it in literally EVERY store! You can never go wrong with Duo-Tone clothing and Military inspired looks, both are classics that never go out of style.

Have you ever uttered the phrase “I’m too old for that!”? I personally have had that thought once or twice but quickly brushed it off. I can’t stand that phrase! So, I have one solid tried, tested and true tip that will make you hate that phrase. Want to know the secret to dressing age appropriate? Here it is… read carefully: If you love that piece of clothing, stand tall, put your shoulders back and rock it with confidence!! Simple as that!

One of the blogs I follow, Advanced Style, is really inspiring. It just gives me warm fuzzies all over! I hope to be this cool and still wear super fashion forward clothes when I get to the age of these lovely ladies:

Yves Saint Laurent debuted their spring Ready To Wear line at Pairs Fashion week to great reviews. Head designer Stefano Pilati created classic French designs that are already becoming the object of many women’s desires!

When I was looking through the photos from the runway I couldn’t help but see something I desired…shoes! Looks like the cap-toe shoe trend is heading into spring, and we are seeing a more sturdy heel. I’m sure we are going to see everyone rocking their favorite pairs very soon!

 

 

My personal favorite are the pink heeled oxfords! Which are your favorite YSL shoes?

10 Best Dressed Ladies Of The 2011 Oscar’s

The Oscar red carpet was a little bit of  a let down this year. Nothing really WOWED me. Everyone looks pretty and nice, but overall it seemed like simple won over on the red carpet. Here are 10 of my favorite looks of the night.

Trend 1: RED. Everyone who chose that color could do no wrong in my eyes.

Anne Hathaway won my vote for the best red dress. She looked stunning in this Valentino number. Fit her like a glove…I think her best dress of the entire night was this one on the red carpet.

Sandra Bullock looked sleek, simple and stunning!

Jennifer Hudson looked absolutely amazing! What a way to show off that new figure she has. Georgous!

Jennifer Lawrence from Winter’s Bone looks super classic and chic in this Calvin Klein dress. A little like a Baywatch babe- but stunning none-the-less.

Trend 2 – NEUTRALS. This personally was my favorite trend on the red carpet. It is a great timeless look.

Halle Berry was my favorite by a long shot. She looked angelic in this Marchesa gown.

This long sleek sheath looked great on Celine Dion’s statuesque figure. Didn’t she just have twins a few months ago? Wow.

Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit looked too adorable in her gown! This 14 year old did it right! She dressed her age yet managed to look elegant for the red carpet.

Mandy Moore looked great in this Monique Lhuillier dress. I love how you dont konw where the sequins begin and end.

Trend 3- PURPLE. Both dresses were flowy and both were worn by the lovely ladies of Black Swan.

Pregnant Natalie Portman was absolutly glowing in this Rodarte gown. The color was amazing on her and the neckline beautifully framed her face.

Mila Kunis just bareley made my list. I love the way this Elie Saab dress fits and I love the style but I’m not a super big fan of the color on her. Overall its still a win for Mila.

Who were some of your favorites of the night?

Gossip Girl is the new Sex and the City?

It looks like Gossip Girl is starting to film season 4 and they are in France. I’m so excited for their September 13 debut! The finale of season 3 was the best episode of the entire season and it left us all hanging!

Upon coming across these shots of Blake Lively (Serena) and Leighton Meester (Blair) I couldn’t help but think;  is Gossip Girl the new Sex and the City? As far as fashion goes these shots TOTALLY remind us of Carrie and Charlotte.  Maybe subconsciously Gossip Girl has been filling the void where Sex and the City used to be.

As I am writing this I’m starting to think of some of the similarities between the two:

-Main character has beautiful long blond hair. (Serena vs Carrie)

-They film in New York.

-They wear designer fashion, even to bed.

-We have the uppity best friend whose style always leans to a 1950′s housewife. (Blair vs Charlotte)

-The ladies switch boyfriends faster than we can count.

-We always know deep down the blond is going to end up with the mysterious tall handsome brunette man. (Serena + Dan vs  Carrie + Mr Big)

And these are just the few that I can think of off the top of my head. I’m sure there is plenty more! Anyway, here are some of the stills from the first episode:
