Academy Awards

A few things I want to mention about the awards show before I give my best and worst selections.

First, too many stylists working the red carpet. I miss the days of Bjork's swan dress and Bab's see-through pajamas outfit. Sometimes, a don't is the best thing for Oscar night!

Second, get rid of the ridiculous shoes, ladies. I am so tired of seeing actresses gallumping across the 20 ft of stage looking like they may not make it to the microphone. If you cannot walk gracefully in your shoes, please find another pair.

Ok, I'm done bitching. Now to my best dressed.

Hailee Steinfeld in Marchesa

This little girl rocks the red carpet!!


Gwyneth Paltrow in Calvin Klein
It has been way too long since Gwyneth has made my best-dressed list.

Michelle Williams in Chanel Haute Couture

It is hard to tell from the still photos, but Michelle Williams looked so beautiful last night, she actually glowed, like really, glowed, it was hard to look at her, she was so beautiful. Just breathtaking. Ok, didn't actually love the dress, but hair and makeup, divine!

Fashion Quest 2011: Platform Flat

I'm obsessed with these new platforms for Spring 2011. They are technically platforms with a 2-3" base, but have no pitch, making them as comfortable as flats. Ok, well, almost. At first I dismissed them as orthopedic looking, but soon found the appeal. Can't wait to wear them with a long knit skirt, a hip-slung belt, and peasant blouse. Seen at Chanel, Michael Kors, and DKNY.

Online Find: Cardigan Jacket

I love this little jacket. A little military, but not too costumy. I'd wear it with skinny jeans and oxfords or a short full skirt and platform sandals.

Spring Trend Alert: 70's Redux

It seems designers cannot get enough of this decade. This season, the looks are specific to the design god of the 70's, Yves St. Laurent. Expect peasant blouses, jumpsuits, bright colors, safari looks, and slinky dresses worthy of Studio 54.

Grammy Awards


Best Dressed: Rihanna
This is what the Grammy's are all about - over-the-top, sexy, and outrageous!


Worst dressed: Willow Smith
Is it okay to say that a 10 year old is the worst dressed? Such a beautiful girl, this hot mess of an outfit is doing her no favors.

I love these flat sandals that aren't really so flat. Some of us need a little lift now and then.

Spring Trend Alert: Longer Hemlines

Gone are the pencil skirts that stop demurely at the knee and the whimsical miniskirts that stop a few inches above, the new skirt length is midcalf. This works perfectly for the Spring season as it creates a relaxed, vacationy (is that a word?) vibe. I like to think of it as "sarong-length."
