Grammy's 2011

Perfection

I adore Keri Hilson's look! Besides the fact that I think she's one of the coolest girls out there, her look is PERFECT Grammys. Not too dressy, a little funky but still stunning. I mean just everything is so cool! The cut, the color (and i'm talking both dress and hair!) def a fave look of the night.

Disco Balls?

Now I know the headline of this little section may sound negative but it's not! I looooove glitter and shimmer and these ladies did it so right! J.Lo and Heidi... well done.

Best Make-Up

I can't lie, I'm a huge Miley fan... I just LOVE her... and am absolutely rocking out to her music right now... no shame. While her dress was def not the best she's ever worn her hair and make-up was FLAWLESS! So obsessed with the cat eye, light shadow and pink lips with the perfectly beachy locks. loves.

I thought Kelly Osborne's make-up was also really pretty with her lilac tones.

Head to Toe Leopard...

Alright so I'm totally not feeling this BUT it's Nicki Minaj and that's what she does and I think she's epic... I might have to do an entire post on little miss "harijuku barbie"

Keri Hilson also tried the head to toe leopard at a pre-Grammy event, and still not feeling it but this is starting to look like a trend...

Adorbs

Aw! Katy Perry brought her grandmother to the Grammy's for her 90th bday! too cute!

In other news...

Not the Grammys... but this girl can do no wrong. Emma Stone looked uh-mazing at the Golden Globes and looked amazing the other night at BAFTAs. I love the shade of blonde she's been rocking lately and she looks good in those coral dresses! keep it up!!

I Got A Feelin...

Oh the Grammys... No one seems to really know what the dress code for the Grammys is. Some go all out with gowns as though it's the Oscars, some show up in jeans... but I think it's clear that these girls got it right.... it's music people, rock and roll! have fun with it. I just HATE when people wear their full length gowns on this red carpet...

Fergie and The Black-Eyed Peas and Miley Cyrus (as much as I hate to admit it) looked PERFECT. This is what the Grammys is about, short, fun, expressive and sassy. And well Marissa Miller looked gorgeous per usual. And then there is Keri Hilson, as I just ranted above I strongly dislike log gowns at the Grammys but I just love love love Keri Hilson and think she's adorable and has amazing style and she looks like a knock-out in this dress so I'll let it slide.

And then the gowns I can't let slide... Taylor Swift is one of my favorites and I think she is so adorable but I just couldn't get on board this blue sparkly number that just ugh I dunno, it was too formal, too blue... not sure. Kristen Bell is also usually adorable and it breaks my heart to put her on the hate list but the neck part of that dress kills me. And Rihanna?! She usually has a way of just looking so so so cool! and well she doesn't here. fail. And Carrie Underwood just looks tangled in that neckline...

moving on... what happened to Brit Brit?! I though she was normal now and the crazy, white trashy Britney Spears was over... sigh... Britney you break my heart.

But then there is Travis Barker and his son Landon... LOVE.. sigh how cute is this!!! Travis is one of my favorite favorite musicians (I'm a HUGE Blink fan and think all his other music projects are AMAZING!) But father and son looking too cool for school on the red carpet! loves it!

okay, Grammys are still going on in LA, gotta get back to watching!

At Least BAFTA came through

So much to get through today! The Grammy's were SUCH a disappointment and I decided not to cover all those fashion flops. And that Beatle's tribute!? What was that all about. Although Kanye's performance dedicated to his mother did make me cry, i think his performance was all the show really had going for it. Although I did enjoy watching Amy Winehouse actually perform via satellite... although I did doubt her sobriety at times, okay a lot of times. So despite the Grammy let down at least the BAFTA awards provided me with some lovely post-able material and I also got around to doing a review of Donna Karen's fall 2008 show. So let's get down to business and get this weather news out.

Now that business is taken care of, lets move on to the fun stuff. I have been obsessed with the 1920s flapper looks and Aubrey Beardsley prints for quite sometime now, so imagine my joy when I saw Donna Karen's Great Gatsby-esque line come down the runway. And in those fabulous autumn colors, makes me want to skip through spring and summer! The drapery, the shapes, the color, all absolutely flawless.

Last night the poorly attended Grammy's was not the only awards show. Across the pond, the BAFTA Awards, the British version of the Academy Awards, went down and had a very glittery red carpet with dramatic backs, sleeves and wonderfully subtle and natural hair styles. What a great way to kick start a week that is sure to be filled with English style as London Fashion Week has kicked off as well.

And that about sums it up for today. Expect to see a Jenni Kayne inspired weather report tomorrow, as well as the first news from London Fashion Week. Also don't forget Valentines day is Thursday and I have a very fun post planned for that! Have a great day, and enjoy whatever your locations weather brings you and have fun with your fashion choices! Just skip on that awful faux-hawk look a la Alicia Keyes.  

FIRST (official) POST!

So welcome to my first post! I'm BEYOND excited to officially join the blogging world, and i'm hoping this is one you'll enjoy for a long time to come! That being said, New York Fashion Week has come to an end, the Grammy's are tonight and I have the weather forecast for your week to do! We have a lot to get through so let's get started! 

This week was fashion week in New York and what a week it was! While I found many of the shows to be fairly safe and not particularly innovative, there were some stellar shows that really pulled everything through at the end. A huge trend I noticed hit the runways was grey, which is a color I've always been found of (the color scheme of my blog is proof!) and look forward to wearing more of! 

Zac Posen also followed suit with this chic color palette and really put together my favorite complete runway of the season. 

Some others I loved were Alexander Wang and Temperley whose grungy, punk looks managed to be pulled together in such a chic way!

Some other lines that were amazing and showed on the last day were Jenni Kayne and Donna Karen who put together very fun, exciting lines and I'll post more about them during the week. Despite all these wonderful looks on the runway, my favorite looks of all came from the fashion forward guests who attended these shows. Their insanely chic and modern looks will be scattered through out this weeks posts for daily inspiration! 

Hope everyone has a great end to the weekend. The Grammy's are tonight and they are always a fashion feast! I can't wait to see what hits (and misses!) that red carpet! And if that wasn't enough London Fashion Week starts today! A busy week awaits us!
