Did you watch the SAG awards last night? If not, you didn’t miss anything…and plus you have me to give you all the red carpet dish. So I just saved you 4 hours…you’re welcome.
I really wish someone would work a print on the red carpet because everyone either does a solid color and it’s kinda boring or a pale skin tone color that’s super boring. However, I didn’t hate everyone’s look so let’s start judging…
Emilia Clarke in Chanel
From someone who has an extensive nail polish collection, that includes a few matte colors, I’ve always wanted a matte top coat but could never find one. And thanks to a white elephant mishap last week, I discovered Chanel Top Coat Velvet.
I wanted to do a really fun manicure for New Years and because I dedicate my Mondays to manis…I get to share my NYE nails with you today!
Pictured: NARS ‘Night Breed’ with Chanel Top Coat Velvet. Accent nails: Deborah Lippmann ‘Today Was a Fairytale’ and OPI Silver Shatter.
I thought it would be cool to try something unconventional and do the matte top coat over a black glitter nail polish…and I absolutely love the results!
Are you doing a fun manicure for New Years?
I was so excited to find out the other day that I was photographed by Tommy Ton for Style.com on my first day at fashion week in New York! It was even for a special project where you can shop the looks of various street style photos.
Click through American Express Presents NY Street Seen Spotted by Tommy Ton and shop my look on Net-a-Porter here.
And a special thank you to Refinery29 for featuring my Tommy Ton street style snap!
I also ran into my friend Amy Creyer of Chicago Street Style who took my photo with the lovely Karen from Where Did U Get That (who is just as nice as she is stunning).
I’m wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2011 dress, Balenciaga bag, Chanel shoes, Linda Farrow sunglasses and some temporary Chanel tattoos (yes, they are not real!) Click here for the full post.
I was browsing The Cut, as I do multiple times a day, and I watched the Detail Cam: Jewelry, Sunglasses, and More Spotted at Fashion Week…and what did I see? My Prada Baroque sunglasses! Click below to watch the video (there are some amazing accessories featured!)
My Dolce & Gabbana star dress outfit also made an appearance (even on the home page) of Elle.com!

Overall, I was beyond honored to have these amazing photographers like my outfits enough to photograph me for their blog/website. I dress for me, but it’s always appreciated when others like my outfits too 🙂
While wandering around Bucktown this weekend at Refinery29’s brunch crawl, I decided to make a few pitstops. One of these pitstops was at RSVP Gallery. If you haven’t been I suggest you go because there is no other store in Chicago like it. Carrying things I’ve never seen anywhere else like Linda Farrow x Jeremy Scott Caesar Gold Leaves Sunglasses and Takashi Murakami prints to name a few, this is a truly unique place.
With that said, I decided to pick myself up a few sweet items from RSVP and I’m so obsessed, I just had to share.
Chanel tattoos that I’ve had my eye on for over a year now…check! Ambush POW neon orange ring…check!
This is the last red carpet fashion post for the Met Gala. Any previous coverage has been posted in best dressed, part 1 and part 2. Hope you’ve enjoyed the fashion as much as I have!
Enjoy part 3…
Emma Roberts in Michael Kors
I’ve really been loving Emma’s red carpet choices lately. She looks stunning in this Michael Kors gown and it fits her perfectly. However, this could have been worn to just about any red carpet event and she could have done more for the Met Gala.
Dianna Agron in Michael Kors
I love Glee, but I find Dianna’s red carpet choices to be quite boring. She looks gorgeous and it’s a pretty dress but again, IT’S THE MET GALA PEOPLE. Time to step it up!
Daphne Guinness in Alexander McQueen
Now THIS is someone I can always count on to make a statement. She got dressed for the Met Gala in the Barneys windows…it doesn’t get more statement-making than that. This was the perfect dress to wear when making a tribute to her good friend and late designer, Alexander McQueen.
Dakota Fanning in Valentino
I actually think this dress is perfect for the occasion. It looks gorgeous on her, but is she not wearing ANY makeup? I mean come on…if you’re going to put the effort into wearing a gown like this, at least do something with the hair and makeup.
Ciara in Prabal Gurung
I love this dress, especially because I appreciate some Prabal on the red carpet, but the jewelry completely ruins the look. I’m not sure if that’s one large cuff or several bracelets, either way they are completely unnecessary. If the jewelry choices were different, this may have made best dressed! (okay that and a different hair style)
Christina Ricci in Zac Posen
I actually don’t love this dress and I can’t help but think of the movie Beetlejuice, but it is THE ultimate Met Gala gown. It’s dramatic and makes a statement yet isn’t over styled. I can go either way on this…
Brooklyn Decker in Michael Kors
Love the dress. Indifferent about the bag. Hate the hair. However, this look would work at a more “mainstream” red carpet event (with a different hair style of course).
Blake Lively in custom Chanel
Don’t you wish Karl was making YOU custom Chanel gowns for fancy red carpet events? I do. But I’ll let Blake have the spotlight…for now. I wouldn’t love the dress on anyone else but she looks gorgeous…doesn’t she always though?
Beyonce in Emilio Pucci
Can she move? Can she breathe? This is when a size up would have been helpful. May have given this look an entirely different vibe but I just can’t help but think she’s going to pass out due to lack of air.
Ashley Olsen in vintage Christian Dior
I did not like this at first but I’m really growing to love it. Again, it’s fit for an Olsen and no one else, so it works here. I think it’s great how they incorporate designer vintage into modern times and it works for them. I do think she could have done with different shoes but I’ll stop being picky.
I hope you enjoyed all my 2011 Met Gala coverage. Until next year!
