Costume Institute Gala 2011 featuring Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty

And we are off. Here are a few of the fashion lovin' folks upon arrival tonight. I'm going to be categorizing them by: 'LOVE', 'you tried too hard/BSE' (aka better suited elsewhere) and 'this is major'. I will not say that anything is ugly/bad/ick, only bothersome because this is sensational, give me goosebumps kind of wearable art my frands. I also do not necessarily enjoy all of the chosen ones in the 'this is major category', but they need credit where it's effing due. Stella McCartney was a hot ticket to wear (almost every favorite I had chosen pranced in the exquisite Brit) , but the real stunners were in old and new McQueen designs. My personal faves are starred. Now, this is what (my) dreams are made of. xx

Coachella Catch Up

Yes, Coachella was last month in April, but all the photos are just now surfacing! By the way, Vanessa Hudgens, how was that molly you were dipping your finger into?? Jokes, I kid, I like a girl who enjoys herself. Coachella is all about some street style, and I love seeing the ladies looking as least high maintenance as possible. Take note and get looks like these for summer. Maxi's, faded/loose t's, floral prints, crocheted details, lax booties and large sunnies will get you where you need to be. Oh, and whatever you do, do NOT wash your hair! xx

It's Met Gala Time!

I have been extremely busy and took a little vacation, so the blog has definitely been neglected. Please, do forgive me!! Today is a very important night of fashion. Anna Wintour, her co-chairs and every good looking actress, model, musician and famous fashion girl are beautifying and prepping for the Met Costume Institute Gala as I type. Florence Welch will be performing and Derek Blasberg has already tweeted a press release list full of ladies' chosen designers. Beyonce in Pucci, Milla Jovivich in Marni, and Nicole Richie won't yet reveal- but she's got a red lip and hair down. This is beyond Oscar's fashion. This is Lebron/ Kobe shit. The superbowl of look-at-me high fashion. Tonight they will be honoring the late, great Alexander McQueen and all his genius. Here are a few of my past favorites from over the years. I feel like it's xmas! I cannot wait to see the insane line up of crazies in couture! xx

Jlo, Zuhair Murad; Blake Lively, Marchesa; Eva Longoria, Marchesa; Kate Bosworth, Valentino 2010
