It's a Wrap!
I'm kind of in love with this ASOS wrap dress. I'm not quite sure how flattering the tulip skirt would be over my hips don't lie, but it sure its a pretty dress (and a seal of a deal).
Emmy Fashion
There were lots of gorgeous dresses on the Emmy Awards' red carpet and most all of the gals did a nice job with their hair, makeup and jewelry choices. There were a few looks I wasn't too fond of, but overall I thought it was a nice showing. I don't know if I had one favorite though.
Dresses for the Seasons
Old Navy has some super cute dresses right now that will also transition perfectly into fall. I can't believe I'm even thinking about anything other than summer, but it's great to have items you can wear in multiple climates. Throw on a cardi or blazer with the sleeveless ones and add boots to all when the temps cool.

Gwyneth Paltrow is stylish and fresh in the shirt dress ensemble she wore to a Beyonce show in London last month. It's an effortless look that could be worn to lunch, shopping, pretty much wherever and can easily transition into various other looks. You could swap the sandals for boots and throw on a leather jacket for an edgier feel. Or put on some pumps and a blazer to class it up a bit. Super simple to pull off and equally as easy to replicate.
June Gloom
Every year in LA we have the dreaded June Gloom. While it hasn't been too bad this time, we've still been exposed to the grey. So I figured, why not do do a post embracing this universally flattering color. Grey + white stripes are a favorite combo of mine and a constant in the collections year after year. To incorporate a little sunshine, my go-to accent color is yellow.

Give The Cold Shoulder
During my recent dress search, I've pretty much encountered every style and color imaginable (all whilst looking for a strapless black bridesmaid option). So many striking one-shoulder numbers have been catching my eye. They're fun, charming and sexy without being too revealing or fussy. I'm thinking I may have to pick one for the rehearsal dinner.

I spotted this Mark & James by Badgley Mischka dress and thought it was just the cutest thing. So fun and flirty, perfect for a party. As much as I would love to snag this cutie, the $375 price tag deters me, as I don't need another dress. However, I quickly realized this ensemble would be easy enough to re-create with two separate pieces. Bonus: more mixing and matching options with other clothes you already own.

Lacey, Lavender & Lovely
Though she wasn't nominated for an Academy Award I'm nominating Mila Kunis as best dressed at the 2011 Oscars. As soon as I saw her on the red carpet, she danced her way to the top of my list. Her floaty Elie Saab Haute Couture dress was gorgeous and looked great with her skin tone and dark locks. I loved her makeup, hair and Neil Lane diamonds - perfection!

Oscar Warm Up
The Independent Spirit Awards were held today, the day before the Academy Awards. While I am much more excited about the Oscars, I mean it is the creme de la creme, I'll take any awards show red carpet. The Spirit Awards are clearly more relaxed and less fancy shmancy, but some gals chose some cute frocks for the occasion.

My good pal Marge (aka Lisa) fell in love with this darling cream Quail silk wrap dress from Urban Outfitters Lauren Conrad wore last month. Unfortunately the dress is no longer available (it came in red too!) so Marge sent me on a mission to find something similar under $200. I must admit, it wasn't so easy finding a short, cream wrap dress with sleeves as cute as Lauren's, but I think I completed my assignment (although sans tie).

Glamour Abroad
I'm not really into the BAFTA's, but I like pretty dresses. Here are a few lovelies from Britain's version of the Oscars held this weekend.

Stop! Grammy Time
The Grammy fashions were just so so for me. Granted there were some gorgeous looks, but no one completely blew me away and stopped the show fashion-wise.
My best dressed pick is Chrissy Teigen. She's a model, John Legend's girlfriend and of my favorite tweeters (@chrissyteigen). I would have chosen different shoes, but I adore the Gucci dress and gold belt.
These ladies get a thumbs up from me.
Julianne Hough - Malandrino
Nicki Minaj's Givenchy ensemble and hair get a thumbs down and the outrageous award, in spite of Lady Gaga's bizarre, but not too shocking egg/womb entrance.

Biker Chic
Almost two years ago, one of my outfit crushes was this look worn by Anne Hathaway. Even now, the leather jacket + party dress is still in.

I thought I would revisit this trend and find copy cat looks on the cheap. Super easy to replicate and can be as tough, sexy or sweet as you like, depending on how you accessorize. All outfits below are from forever 21 and are under $80.
