Not to be a Debby Downer or anything but I was less than impressed with the Oscars last night. The fact that red carpet interviews ended an hour early on E! and I was forced to watch ABC coverage…that was not fun. And as far as the gowns go, I really was not blown away by anyone. So unfortunately, I did not have a” Gwyneth in Tom Ford moment.” However, there were still some notable looks that deserve some discussing. So let’s get to it.
Zoe Saldana in Alexis Mabille Spring 2013 Couture
From fashion week in New York to the streets of Chicago, I just can’t get enough of BEANIES. Like my leather hat and my blue Illesteva sunglasses, I’m sure you’ll be sick of seeing this beanie soon. But it’s warm, it’s cool, it’s kind of weird so it’s here to stay. Sorry but I really am not sorry. To make up for it in advance, today’s post has some guest appearances. So get excited. I sure am.
Feeling inspired by the New York Times‘s Red Carpet Project, I wanted to make my own curated red carpet list with what I think to be the greatest Oscars red carpet looks in the last 15 years. Granted anything pre-2006 was quite difficult to choose (it just wasn’t a good time for fashion) but I found a few timeless looks that would make sense to see on the red carpet today. Because I just can’t wait to get my judging on this weekend, I’m starting…NOW.

If you haven’t heard about Sophia Webster yet, LISTEN UP. The former assistant to Nicholas Kirkwood has gone out on her own to design a whimsical line of shoes and bags. But not JUST shoes and bags…really fun [and somewhat impractical] shoes and bags — THE BEST KIND.
Although I’m back from New York, I thought it would be fun to take some photos while I was there…especially because my awesome photog happened to be at fashion week too. The only day we could meet up happened to be my most casual day but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good one.
