Met Gala 2014: Best Dressed!

5 May

The fashion party of the year, also known as the Costume Institute Gala aka The Met Ball for short did not disappoint. The red carpet was full of fabulous fashion moments. I loved so many of the looks and narrowed it down to my favorite 7! So Let’s get to it!

Leighton Meester in Emilio Pucci- I like the drop waist and overall flow of this gown and the detail is amazing.

Beyonce Knowles in Givenchy- The caged head-piece did it for me.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Balmain- I love anything Balmain, but I also love how Rosie went against the grain with her choice of dress.(and those shoes!!!!!)

Gabrielle Union in Prada- This two piece feathered ensemble is really cool.

Kim Kardashian in Lanvin- I am a sucker for a dress with pockets and loved the color as well. I was drawn to the belt and matching cuffs she originally wore and was surprised she removed them for the red carpet. I like how it brought some edge to the dress.

(with the cuffs and without pictured below) note: she also changed her shoes

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!

Blake Lively’s Sartorial Splendor

30 Jun

Blake Lively is never short on style, she is hands down one my top 5 style crushes of all time!  Her sense of style is amazing and all her own no stylist on her payroll.  Lively’s stunning style has been front and center  during the premiere/promotional tour for her upcoming film Savages. Here are my favorite looks so far and I look forward to what she will wear next. I can’t get enough!!!!!!

Ivory Jenny Packham dress with jeweled neckline, oversized Lorraine Schwartz ring, Christian Louboutin sparkly pumps.

Yellow Gucci halter maxi dress with bold turquoise jewelry.

Channeling old hollywood in a nude silk and tulle gown with intricate black beading by Zuhair Murad. I love how she let the dress do all the talking with minimal jewelry and no handbag. Crimson on the lip and nails looks perfect.

Red Michael Kors pant suit paired with a sleek black tank and Christian Louboutin caged heels. Sleeves cuffed messy….love it!

Custom Lanvin dress with nude Christian Louboutin spiked heels.

Emerald and black Marios Schwab dress with Giuseppe Zanotti bow embellished heels.

Silk floral panelled fit & flare dress by Monique Lhuillier and Christian Louboutin heels worn with a pretty purple and pink stack of bracelets.
