Best Dressed 2012!

31 Dec

Another year has come and gone and fashion’s elite have made their mark, some great and some not so great!  Celebrities and socialites have paraded their ensembles for us to swoon over and have sent us to the mall on numerous occasions trying to replicate what we’ve seen.  At the end of the year, I usually can narrow it down to my top 5 fashion crushes, not this time…..  This year  7 fashionistas are deserving of this honor!

What does it take to make my best dressed list?  Being original, confident, fashion forward and rockin’ your own style throughout every season and looking great while doing it!

Billboard Awards Best Dressed!

21 May

Last night celebrities flocked to sin city for the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. I was super excited to see all the looks but was left wanting more *:( total sad face. I did, however manage to find 3 looks that I loved.

Carrie Underwood wore a grey and rose strapless Oscar de La Renta gown with a giant tulle skirt. I must admit I think her look was completely out of place  for these awards BUT she looked GORGEOUS and her hair and makeup was perfect. If I could snap my fingers, she would have worn this to the Oscars instead.

I loved her fun Oscar De La Renta clutch and her undone nails as well The colorful clutch and that canary sparkler were enough dont’cha think?

Taylor swift wore a beautiful red Elie Saab gown, total understated elegance. I liked the fact that she switched up the hair for the evening, swapping her trademark curls for a sleeker look.

My best dressed of the night goes to Alicia Keys. She wore a simple black body con Azzedine Alaia dress and let her jewelry do the talking. She was impeccably accessorized in a cool multi ring earcuff by Repossi and a hand piece by Jennifer Fisher. I also loved her red lip with minimal eye makeup and matching nails! So chic!

If you’re loving this earcuff, but not loving the $5,000 price tag, Asos has a similar earcuff for less than $14.

The biggest and most glamorous film festival is always the talk of the fashion industry but MY GOODNESS this is more than I expected on Day 1 of the 12 day festival. I’m curious what else Eva & Diane have packed in their suitcases!!!!! They’re just getting started.
