Best of the 2013 Golden Globes Red Carpet

Another year and another awards season has begun! I have to say this year's GG red carpet was a little on the boring side. I understand that no celebrity wants to be on a worst dressed list but it never hurts to try something new. And if you do end up on the worst dressed list, at least people are still talking about you, right? I have more respect for a celebrity that takes a risk and fails miserably than one who sticks to the same old safe formula every time. Anyhoo, let's check out the dresses I did like from last night's red carpet.


Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

She's had some pretty disappointing red carpet looks lately so I consider last night's look much improved.  I love the color and I'm always a fan of a good waist-cinching belt.


Jessica Alba in Oscar de la Renta

This is one of those classic looks that I would probably call boring except she just looks stunning in it. Once again, I'm in love with the color and the necklace and hair are perfection.


Katharine McPhee in Theyskens' Theory

This dress is perhaps a little risque, but I think the clean lines and simple silhouette keep it quite chic.


Kate Hudson in Alexander McQueen

This is probably my favorite dress of the night.  I do kind of wish she had put her hair up so you could see the detailing on the neck better, but the dress itself is to die for. Congrats to Kate, she's been looking really good lately.


Julianne Moore in Tom Ford

Love her. Love Tom Ford. Enough said.


Kerry Washington in Miu Miu

It's just so pretty! This is sheer done right. Take notes Kristen Stewart.


Lucy Lui in Carolina Herrera

This is sure to be one of the more controversial dresses of the night.  I didn't like this dress when I first saw it but it's grown on me. I like to see a print on the red carpet as it's so rarely done.


Nicole Richie in Naeem Kahn

The color is gorgeous and it fits her fantastically. Plus I love the fun clutch.


Naomi Watts in Zac Posen

So I'm generally more of a bright color girl and when oxblood became the big color for fall I was less than enthused. However, the more I see of it the more I'm starting to like it. I think this dress is a stunning example of an oxblood dress I like.


Taylor Swift in Donna Karen

I've never been a fan of Taylor Swift's red carpet style but I'm glad to see her trying something different with this look. Another dark color but I think it's quite chic.


Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka

She's 67 and she looks amazing! 


And now for my worst dressed pick of the night.......

It's a tie between Jessica Chastain in Calvin Klein and Lena Dunham in Zac Posen. I hate to say this about Jessica as she's usually so great on the red carpet. I like the color but the saggy boob look is just not hot. And Lena's dress is just so incredibly unflattering and it ages her. She's too young and hip to be wearing something this dowdy.

Prabal Gurung for Target

Prabal Gurung, one of my absolute favorite designers, has created a collection for Target that goes on sale February 10th.  I can't help but feel this collection was made specifically for me as February 10th happens to be my birthday and I love absolutely every piece. The prints are gorgeous and the shoes are amazing! Now we'll just have to see if I can actually get my hands on any of these pieces or if I'll end up getting burned like I was with the Missoni collection :(

Here are my favorite pieces I'll be trying for on the 10th. You can check out the complete lookbook here.

These shoes are gorgeous! Ladylike with and edge. Pretty much anything that combines spikes and rhinestones is a hit with me.

Pre-Fall 2013 Faves

The pre-fall 2013 collections have been trickling in for the last week or so and I've been eagerly clicking through each slideshow as soon as it appears on Style.com. Although pre-fall tends to be less over-the-top than the main collections, they're certainly not short on beautiful and perhaps more wearable clothes.  My favorite collections so far have to be 3.1 Phillip Lim and Prabal Gurung.

Phillip Lim's pre-fall collection was inspired by bikers and vintage Harley Davidson. Lim's biker chicks seem to be of the more classy variety with their high heeled booties and jeweled collars, but it works for me! I'm loving the classy yet cozy elegance these looks exude.




It's pretty much a fact that Prabal Gurung's collection will be one of my favorites every season and this collection is no exception. I'm a sucker for great pint mixing and bold colors so his work is right up my alley. But as much as I love all the gorgeous prints in this collection, one of my favorite looks is the solid black draped jersey gown. Now if only I had somewhere super fancy to wear it....

Super cute internet sensation Grumpy Cat shares her thoughts on fashion.

Festive Sweaters

Only 18 more days til Christmas! Between the decorating, the shopping, the baking and the wrapping there's so much to do. But you can relax a little because you don't have to worry about what you're going to wear.  I've got you covered! Festive Christmas sweaters for everyone! Thrift stores are probably the best place to find plenty of tacky Christmas themed sweaters.  But if you're looking for something a little less tacky and a little more cute and quirky, check out my picks here.
