Blue Blue, I Love You

The Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear shows are among us and I could not be more excited. Among the usual black and grey that is so expected of the season was a refreshing palette of blues. Colors ranged from aqua to navy and everything inbetween. Many designers took a cue from Pantone as they masqueraded turquoise frocks down the runway. The brighter shades are more commonplace in the Spring but I think given the economic climate, color is exactly what we all need.

Some prints by Barbara Tfank. Florals were few and far between among the Fall Collections. These looks are great inspiration when transitioning summer dresses into cooler climates.

Tickled Pink

In honor of Valentine's Day, here are some inspiring pink room. Some with just a dash of pink (sometimes that's all you need) and some with a whole lot of pink.


This is THE most amazing kitchen. There are no words...




I could snuggle up in any one of these beds.

I love how there is only a dash of pink in the room but it just pops against the slate.

Definitely needing this bathroom and vanity.

Style Star: Reese Witherspoon

I heart Reese. She is America's Sweetheart but her style choices prove she's quite a risk taker who likes to have fun with her fashion choices. Reese was taken under the wing of Nina Ricci Artistic Director, Olivier Theyskens, in the past few years for a stylish makeover. The outcome is a more youthful, brighter look:






She is not afraid to wear color or experiment with silhouettes and lengths and lucky for her, she looks good in everything.

I love these sparkly looks. They're young and rock 'n roller-ish (is that a word)

From bf jeans to blazers and layers, Reese's casual looks are classic, sleek and sophisticated.

What is Light - Urple?

I know everyone out there in the blog world has already posted about their favorite (and least favorite) dresses from last night's Golden Globes so I thought I'd just post a little bit about the trends we saw.

Purple was definitely THE color of the night:

Versace, Valentino

Elie Saab, Cavalli

Lanvin, Bottega Veneta, J Mendel

Many actresses played it safe with black but they still stood out in the crowd:

Victoria Beckham Collection, Georges Hobeika

Valentino, Elie Saab, Lanvin

All in all, the trends - column dresses, sweetheart necklines and asymmetrical necklines - are silhouettes from last year's award season. They're classic and flattering and my guess is we will see many more in the upcoming award season.
