Golden Globes 2012--My Best Dressed

I was very excited to sit down and enjoy the Golden Globes last night with a glass of wine and the bf.  I haven't gotten to spend much time with him recently due to a big work project he's on, so it was really nice to have an amazing meal of seared scallops with shrimp truffle risotto before watching the awards.  I love guessing the winners, and definitely need to get to more movies as there are quite a few I'd love to see (The Artist, My Week With Marilyn, and The Descendents) before the Academy Awards.

My Best Dressed List often includes my favorite Hollywood leading ladies, and sometimes despite adoring the dress, some ladies I'm not as enamored by don't really have a chance to make it on the list.  My favorite looks often involve a bit of tulle or beading, anything sparkly and my favorite colors.

Wow, Elle Macpherson continues to be a true supermodel.  Her Zac Posen gown was a true confection, and fit her perfectly.  I generally go weak at the knees for that much tulle.

The lavender color was a perfect complement to Octavia Spencer's skin-tone, and I loved the beaded gathering.

Sofia Vergara is clearly one of the most stunning women in Hollywood.  The Vera Wang dress and Harry Winston jewelry were gorgeous, but I would've loved to see a bit more volume for her hair.

I thought Nicole Richie's 60s high pony was super fun and great with her sparkly stunner.

Brad knocked it out of the park with Jessica Alba's "magical" Gucci gown.


Reese explained, "I'm from Tennessee, we like a little camo" while commenting on matching the carpet. She looked like she was having so much fun, and a smile is always the perfect accessory.


It was a little shocking to see the star from The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Shailene Woodley, looking so sophisticated in Marchesa.  I agree with Kathie Lee, very age-appropriate and pretty.

I would vote for Salma Hayek (in Gucci) Best Hair any day.


I think Claire Danes' J. Mendel dress was the best detailing--what a dazzling exit!

Natalie Portman wore a custom Lanvin dress I could imagine on Audrey. Love the red and pink combination!

Friday's Fancies Color Crush

I was so excited for this week's Friday's Fancies post, Color Crush.  As you may be able to tell, I adore color and wear a lot of it all year round.  My recent color love is all shades of blue, especially bright cobalts.  While I'm gazing out my window at the snow falling, a few of these gorgeous pieces would be such a bright pick-me-up.

This gorgeous Gucci bag would be the perfect hint of cobalt that would surely be very versatile.

Cobalt is such a stong color that you can either let the dress do the talking. . .

I was very excited for the chance to pair those gorgeous Kate Spade earrings with sparkly bow peep toes and the glasses I am dying over with an Issa dress and imagine popping some macarons.

Or let a few cobalt wonders jazz up some classic pieces.

Those gloves and those shoes. Wow.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!  What color are you crushing on lately?

Christmas at Home

I am behind, really really behind when it comes to sharing my wonderful time at home in Minnesota for Christmas.  I thought it'd make a perfect post for Daphne's {Semi} Wordless Wednesday.

First came lots of packing. . .

 Including some new gifts that I had opened from the bf.

As always, there were gorgeous decorations at the bf's family's house in Chicago.

 A patriotic tree at the airport. . .

And finally home!

 And this post now can include the most exciting news ever--I am the proud auntie to a new baby nephew born last night!  Can't wait to see my brother as Daddy. :)

I had a wonderful time in Minnesota spending time with my family.  There was a lot of sleeping in, shopping with my youngest brother (he can even outshop me!) and wonderful food.  I hope you all had a very special Christmas and are not feeling as behind as I am!

Jason Wu for Targey

Just as Missoni items are popping back up on the Target site, Target Style shared some lovely images of Jason Wu's upcoming collection on facebook.  The line debuts February 5, and I think everyone is hoping it goes a bit smoother than Missoni.

This adorable navy one has been the star of recent advertising.

This trench was in InStyle this month and the lace details are tres parfait (but difficult to see here).

Mr. Wu also designed bags, my favorite being the black clutch.

And this is definitely my favorite with the black lace peeking out.

What do you think?  Any pieces you must add to your closet?

Friday's Fancies Best Foot Forward

To keep the holiday spirit going just a little teeny tiny bit longer, I am officially the crazy one at work, wearing full on sequins.  Sequin Friday.  It might be a new hit.  For today's Friday's Fancies, I let these gorgeous Tory Burch shoes be the spotlight (I would definitely be putting my best foot forward!) while adding on a bit of confetti, perfect glasses for a night with your beau, a statement necklace from my girl, Kate, and an Oscar de la Renta dress that I would never want to take off.

Lilly Sale Goodies

Lilly Sale Goodies by glitterista on polyvore.com

The waiting game is on for many Lilly lovers as we wait for our Lilly packages to arrive.  I had a bit of a credit, so I picked up a few pieces, but was impressed I was able to choose just a few classic pieces instead of going too crazy.  I am definitely going to replicate this look with the Shere.  How have I never belted my Elsas like that?  Were you able to resist temptation, or did you pick up any goodies?
