j.crew spring 2011 look book {style}

The promise of snow tonight is more than I can bear, so I am focusing on the promise of SPRING.  These images from J.Crew’s spring lookbook are a lovely antidote to the impending precipitation.  Maybe I should consider moving south…

golden globe red carpet {style} 2011

I thought the fashion at last night’s Golden Globes was  so fantastic!  The stars went for color and sparkle.  It was so great to see people taking risks and having fun.

The first color trend I noticed was GREEN!  These ladies looked so fabulous in shades of emerald green.

Angelina Jolie never wears color and for the Globes she went for this gorgeous sparkly long sleeve Atelier Versace.  I loved the retro silhouette and that color makes her look even more beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catherine Zeta Jones also looked incredible in green Monique Lhuillier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Elisabeth Moss and Mila Kunis also rocked deep green frocks, by Donna Karan and Vera Wang, respectively. They both looked fabulous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The next big trend was PINK; in all shades of fuchsia, coral, and petal pink. Lovely.

LOVED Julianne Moore in Lanvin. She wears Lanvin a lot, but I think it suits her.  And I love when a redhead rocks hot pink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Claire Danes and Emma Stone both wore coral Calvin Klein. I loved them both. Sleek and fabulous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sandra Bullock showed off new bangs (LOVE) with her gorgeous beaded Jenny Packman dress. I loved this easy silhouette and lovely pale shade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Scarlett Johansson also wore pale sparkly pink.  Her dress was by Elie Saab. I liked the retro feel of her dress and hair. She looked lovely.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Natalie Portman was GLOWING in her Viktor & Rolf pink column.  I loved this look. Her hair was perfect and her dress was fun and fabulous.  Husband thought pregnancy suited her as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lea Michele looked AMAZING in this pink Oscar de la Renta. Loved the turquoise jewelry too.  She is sort of getting on my nerves though – STOP CRYING!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another color trend was dark blue – Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier and Amy Adams in Marchesa both looked fantastic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Ok, now for my absolute favorites:

Anne Hathaway looked super gorgeous. LOVED her Armani Prive long-sleeve, backless column. Her hair and makeup were PERFECT.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Olivia Wilde in Marchesa.  Just when I thought it was maybe a little too princess-y, she showed off her cheeky Christian Louboutin booties. AWESOME.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eva Longoria in black Zac Posen looked FIERCE. Good for her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I have to give honorable mentions to Piper Perabo in Oscar de la Renta, Leighton Meester in Burberry, and Tilda Swinton in Jill Sander. Piper looked sleek and chic. Her red lips were perfect with her cooly structured black dress.  Leighton can sometimes look like a hot mess, but I loved her long sleeves (a big trend last night) and platforms.  She looked so fresh and young.  And Tilda Swinton is always herself and I love this incredibly simple and chic white shirt and pale skirt. It suits her perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And now for the hot messes…

Helena Bonham Carter, in Vivienne Westwood, obviously.  She is such a great actress and a beautiful woman, I don’t know why she insists on dressing like a deranged fairy.  She isn’t even wearing a matched pair of shoes. UGH.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Christina Aguilera, in Zuhair Murad. This was incredibly unflattering.  She needs a stylist (or a new stylist) ASAP.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rita Wilson in Dolce and Gabbana.  Again, she is totally gorgeous, but she’s been making some bad choices lately.  I don’t understand spaghetti straps and big boobs.  It just looks tacky.  Rita, you can do better!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really like January Jones, and I usually support her unique red carpet looks.  I hated this fringed red Versace number though.  We get it, you have an incredible body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jennifer Love Hewitt in Romona Keveza. This is awful. Stop dressing like a princess. It’s boring and unflattering.  That ruffle on top is doing her no favors and ENOUGH with the spray tan.  Again, such a pretty girl. Sigh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jayma Mays, in Alberta Ferretti.  I usually like her red carpet looks, but this is just all wrong.  Too much makeup and the black dress is too harsh.  She looks emaciated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who were your picks for best and worst dressed on the red carpet?
