Fashion Picks from The 2010 Oscar Awards!

Award season finally came to a close tonight! No other award show can compare to the drama that is brought at the Oscars. I actually missed the pre-show but thankfully my twitter pals tweeted some of their favorite looks. It's a complete difference when viewing each garment live, but looking at the pictures there were some looks that were just incredible! Carey Mulligan, Zoe Saldana, Cameron Diaz, and Sarah Jessica Parker were just some of my favorites. It's interesting because these ladies know fashion. The Oscars are the one time to shine and go all out, all while showcasing their love for fashion.

Sarah Jessica Parker will always be a fave of mine on any red carpet. She's so elegant, graceful and smart about her choices. I think this sunny, Chanel gown is really dramatic with a unique neckline. Love you SJP. 

Kristen Stewart was the girl I loved to love tonight! I usually hate her, "I don't care about fashion" style, but she put the act away for the Oscars. This midnight blue gown looks like a tulip in mid bloom. Bravo Kristen! 

I definitely did not expect this from Diane Kruger. I love how she switches things up! The swatches of black in this Chanel dress keeps things interesting. 

Jennifer Lopez was all Vavavavoom! Although I do think she had a little too much booty for this dress. 

Cameron Diaz was my absolute fav!!! She looks simply stunning in this Oscar de la Renta gown. She's channeling a grown-up Taylor Swift to me. 

Scratch that. No, I think I loved Nicole Richie!! This look is a huge departure from her wild party days. She looks elegant and sexy and the total look matches her style!

I think I was more excited to see this dress on the red carpet, than I was to see Zoe Saldana in it. She looks lovely though. 

Was it art imitating life or life imitating art? Either way Anika Noni Rose was channeling the Princess and the Frog and I didn't like it. The dress is gorgeous and she looks beautiful in it but I would have wanted her to shed the sweet image and go for something sexier. 

Sandra Bullock was beautiful! Congrats on taking home top honors! 

I died when I saw Carey Mulligan in this black Prada dress. The jewels, the cascading hem, the makeup, the hair - bury me please. Stunning! 

Demi Moore looks nice but I want to say this: No more blushed colored dresses!!!

Drum roll please..... And my favorites of the night were Carey Mulligan, Nicole Richie, Cameron Diaz, and Kristen Stewart. Did I miss anyone? 

Bally Shoe F/W 2010

My prediction: Beyonce, Halle, Jada..... Amber Rose? All over it...

Adrienne Landau Fall 2010 #NYFW

The mantra for Adrienne Landau Fall 2010 should be fur has no limits.  From fur hats to fur telephone covers, the designer showed that fur is still be very hot for the season. As I walked into the presentation space the song “diamonds are a girls best friend” played in the background. Viewing the program, a light bulb went off and I couldn’t help but to think that maybe furs and not diamonds are a girls best friend. From colored and crazy furs to more traditional blacks and grays—gorgeous slim fur vests, incredible Russian style hats, and perfect jackets.  This collection had something for every fur lover. This fun show was the perfect way to end fashion week.

Anna Wintour...(VIDEO)

First Thoughts: It's Ms. Wintour if ya nasty.. lol.. I know, I'm silly. Anna Wintour is giving the super fierce Zoolanderish eye here unwavered by the negative press she's received for cramming Milan fashion week into just three days... My voice: Oh get over it.. Yes Anna's giving us personality, even if it was all by accident. Notice the title: The Wintour.. Yeah because she's more than a person, more than human, she's a force! Let me show you why...


Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, outside of the tents after Narciso Rodriguez.

Yes that's me in the background screaming like some obsessive, pre-teen paparazzi lol. I couldn't contain myself.. She literally walked across the street in the middle of traffic and dared it to move... Loves her...

Bensoni Fall 2010 #NYFW

The Bensoni presentation was undeniably one of the best I've ever seen and lands in my top three during #NYFW. The designer captured was I thought was the true essence of a young woman. Everything these days is about modern sophistication, even in our worn leathers and torn jeans, we still aim to achieve that smart and put together look. Although Bensoni himself isn't American (go figure the entire show book was in Japanese) the collection played on classic American motifs my favorite being the gingham print which you'll see through out. Not going to go on any longer. Check out the pictures for yourselves.
