Oscars: Best Dressed…and Worst Dressed?

I was thrilled this year to be able to view the Oscars, in English, in the USA!  It was great to be able to see it all go down in the motherland.  See below for fashion highlights.  (PS Was James Franco stoned the whole time…?)

My number one favorite look this year was the Elie Saab worn by Mila Kunis…it´s trendy, classy, fashion forward, elegant, graceful, and sexy all at the same time, which is pretty hard to be! And normally I don´t even LIKE lavender.   AMAZING!

Michelle Williams looks amazing in this Chanel…simple, and totally elegant. Love her hair too, she really pulls it off.

I also loved this silver Calvin Klein Gwyneth Paltrow wore.  Her singing left me bored but the dress is to die for!

In general I saw A LOT of red…ahem up and coming color?! See below

Anne Hathaway in Valentino

Sandra Bullock stands out in Vera Wang

Now I am not sure if I love this dress or not, it´s by L´Wren Scott…but I do have to admit Penelope looks HOT for just popping out a baby like 3 weeks ago!  But it´s a big Las Vegas showgirl, no?

Umm I´m sorry Jennifer Hudson when did you lose 100000 pounds?!  I liked you before! Now your ta-tas look a little funny…in this Versace….

FINALLY I would just like to say that I LOVE this dress and oh lord do I LOVE these jewels…by why the HECK were they worn together?!   Her dress was by L´Wren Scott and these jewels…well let´s just say the Cartier combo was wellllll over the one million dollar pricepoint! Why ruin the two by mixing?!  This girl needs Rachel Zoe STAT!

Finally I´d like to end with Natalie Portman wearing Rodarte…I don´t HATE her dress, I wouldn´t say worst dressed…plus I know she´s pregsies but really? Is this really a ´Best Actress´appropriate dress? I think she could have done better in her tutu and swan makeup!

Fur and Leather

So some of my favorites this fall-winter are fur and leather, so I created a little imagery to show them all. It´s not my fault that everything is black and brown…I guess it´s the NYC in me! I threw in some forest green for color.  I know most of this stuff is designer, but take the ideas over to Zara, Forever 21 etc and see what you can find…make it work!

The It Bag for Fall: The Bucket!

It´s an amazing flashback trend from the 80´s…I am seeing them in Europe, seeing them in the USA…it´s gonna be big.  The ultimate is the Diego bag, shown above in beige, by Alexander Wang.  Clearly, Kate Bosworth thinks it´s the ultimate as well…!  The black Chanel is classy, as Chanel usually is.  If you are on the non-designer budget, you can get this green one at Mango, or here is the purple one I have purchased in NYC just a couple weeks ago!
