Last night was the annual CFDA Awards. With the Met Ball being like the Oscars of fashion, I’d say this is more like the SAG Awards or the Golden Globes…it’s a big deal but nothing beats the Academy, ya know?
Unfortunately, I was not all that impressed with the looks this year. With a crowd of designers, models and muses I expected way more from these people. It is the Council of FASHION Designers of America…so step up the fashion, please.

Earlier last month, I developed a short-term addiction by ordering everything on The Cut’s Best Bets. The first to kick off the series of purchases was the Best Bet: Iwona Ludyga Skull Ring post.
I have a ton of oversized rings and I’ve been looking for alternative options so I can wear multiple rings on each hand. This seemed too cool of a piece to pass up!
I love how it’s small and dainty but still has a bit of edge with that tiny skull. With the options of rose gold or yellow gold and black diamonds or white diamonds for the eyes, I decided to go with yellow gold (because I’ve been buying way too much rose gold lately) and black diamonds. What do you think?
After traveling to (and falling in love with) Australia 2 summers ago, I was beyond thrilled to see one of my favorite shopping sites, Moda Operandi, embracing the fashion down under. While I was there, I even had the privilege of checking out an exhibit at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, all about Australian Fashion Week…which is what truly sparked my interest in Aussie fashion.
Style icon and Moda Operandi Artistic Director Taylor Tomasi Hill was in Australia for fashion week earlier this month and selected her favorites from all of the shows, and they’ve been making an appearance on MO since. There are few websites with the influence Moda Operandi has who celebrate fashion in Australia so it’s pretty great to have the opportunity to shop designers like Josh Goot, Dion Lee, Michael Lo Sordo, Ellery, Ksubi, Manning Cartell, and Camilla and Marc.
Loving tropical prints right now? Then you have to check out the latest Autralian designer to hit MO–Ksubi (ps. look #25 is my favorite!)
If you’re like me and can’t pass up a bright print, don’t miss out on Michael Lo Sordo (trunk show ends May 31).
So if you haven’t yet, go discover some Aussie designers on modaoperandi.com. Want even more down under fashion? Check out the Moda Operandi Magazine.
Any favorites so far?
Because my birthday fell on a holiday this year (yesterday, Memorial Day) I thought I’d take the whole weekend to celebrate (even though I’d probably do the same if it didn’t fall on a holiday). I had such a fun weekend I wanted to share with you some of my favorite photos.
Friday night cooking with the bf: pretzel-crusted halibut, green beans & caramelized onions.
Salon was closed for Memorial Day so #ManiMonday turned into Mani Saturday.

Like I said yesterday (and everyday on Twitter since Cannes started), Diane Kruger has been KILLING it and deserves her own Cannes fashion feature. So here it goes. Diane’s looks from the 2012 Cannes Film Festival…
