Whitney Eve Fall 2012

I’m normally not one to support celebrities that have gone designer, but Whitney Port is one of the few doing it right. Her contemporary label, Whitney Eve, has all the elements young girls want to wear. For Fall 2012, she incorporated florals, textured knits, mixed prints and velvet. The silhouettes are feminine, playful and easy to wear which fits perfectly with the day-to-night aesthetic of these looks.

I was standing very close to where Kelly Cutrone herself was calling the show, this was a Peoples Revolution productions of course, and it was cool to see her in action (I’m a big KC fan). A remix of Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)” started the show, which was probably some of the most exciting music I heard at any of the Fall 2012 shows. So already I was very pumped to see the clothes.

When it comes to business and design, Whitney seems to know what she’s doing and knows her target market. These are definitely clothes she would wear herself and translate very well for everyday. Here are some of the key looks from Whitney Eve Fall 2012…

Red Carpet Fashion: 2011 CFDA Awards (Part 1)

I have to start off by congratulating my favorite men in fashion, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, for winning Womenswear Designer of the Year. Plus, I am so extremely happy for Prabal Gurung for winning the Swarovski Award for Womenswear. He’s really made a name for himself in the last few years and I’m so excited to see what he does next. Click here to see the full list of nominees and winners.

With any awards event comes a red carpet (I actually think it was purple at this specific one but let’s not be too picky here) and with any major red carpet event comes my fashion commentary. See who was wearing who last night at the 2011 CFDA Awards.

Whitney Port in Pamella Roland

It’s not a WOW dress but Whitney does look pretty here. Minimal accessories with a pretty standard one shoulder white gown. My main concern is her hair color. Is it yellow? At least it’s adding some color to this outfit.

Shenae Grimes in Rebecca Taylor

Wayyyy too many dark elements hair. Between the hair, pants and the shoes, this outfit is CRAVING some color…or at least a metallic accessory. And besides that, it just looks like she tucked lingerie into harem pants. Which brings me to my next point…why is she at the CFDA Awards?

Naomi Watts in Calvin Klein

Short gold dress with nude shoes…standard. However, for being so standard I really do love the liquid effect of the dress. Why is no one embracing color for this major fashion event?

Photobucket

Miranda Kerr in Michael Kors

Finally, something a little interesting. I actually love the dress…only a model could pull off cut-out sides. I appreciate the use of accessories but with the severe cuffs and matching belt, it’s just a little much.

Lucy Liu in Monique Lhuillier

You always know what you’re going to get with Monique Lhuillier, and it’s this dress in some way shape or form. Already bored.

Liv Tyler in Proenza Schouler (pictured with the designers)

FINALLY…some color! Not just saying this because I live for anything Proenza Schouler but Liv really does looks great here. I appreciate someone going for a different look at this event and I’m loving those shoes paired with the dress.

Leigh Lezark in Helmut Lang

I want to like this because I love Leigh Lezark (and I usually love her style) but the harsh bangs with the black shoes and matching black purse is just not right for this dress. A contrast color shoe or even a nude shoe would have been a better option. The dress is mustard. Everything else is black. Not my favorite color combo.

Lady Gaga in Mugler

It’s Gaga. Need I say more?

Kirsten Dunst Patrick Ervell

It takes A LOT for me to give props to a pantsuit. I almost always despise pantsuits. This is one of the many examples of me hating a pantsuit.

Kerry Washington in Calvin Klein

I know it’s the shape of the dress but overall this just seems ill fitting. She’s a skinny girl and this dress is just not very flattering. It was a good attempt though.

Celebs Gone Designer (Part 2)

I hope you read my original Celebs Gone Designer post…because this is a continuation of celebrity-designed collections that are actually worth checking out. Don’t you just feel like anyone who’s been on TMZ a few times all of the sudden thinks they can design clothes? Designers must be talented…and I want to share only the best with you!

I am not one for reality stars…but I absolutely love Whitney Port. She genuinely seems like a good person and that’s hard to find in the Hollywood scene these days. I love her style…I don’t think I have ever seen an outfit of hers I didn’t like (I’m especially obsessed with the one pictured above that she wore for her show at Fashion Week). If you watched the first episode of the new season of The City you see part of the production of her Whitney Eve collection that debuted this February at New York Fashion Week.

Here’s a glimpse of her collection:

House of Harlow 1960

One of the most fashionable people in the Hollywood circuit…Nicole Richie. No one pulls off boho like Nicole…and I love every second of it. She has an amazing jewelry collection, House of Harlow 1960, that is reasonably priced and so fabulous. Inspired by her boho-chic style, House of Harlow 1960 has lots of gold pieces with great colors and shapes. I absolutely love the entire collection. She’s recently introduced shoes to her House of Harlow 1960 collection AND she recently launched her clothing line, Winter Kate (which is just as fabulous!)

Here are some of my favorite House of Harlow 1960 pieces:

Top Row (left to right): 14KT Gold Key Cocktail Ring ($59 at shopthetrendboutique.com), 14kt Yellow Gold Plated Aztec Bangle with Leather ($75 at singer22.com)

Bottom Row (left to right): 14KT Gold-plated Peacock Cuff with Enamel ($190 at shopthetrendboutique.com), 14ct Yellow Gold Plated Feather Necklace ($115 at asos.com)
