OSCAR 2010

This year's biggest night in Hollywood was definitely a fashionable one.

Oscar 2010 by KDNstyle on Polyvore.com

My best dressed of the night was Demi Moore in a Atelier Versace dress. The pictures of her do not really capture the beauty of the dress, her skin, hair, and jewelry. Her look was sophisticated, pulled together, and chic. I am not usually a fan of the "flesh" tone dress, but this one was a winner.

 My 2nd favorite look of the night was Sandra Bullock. She was radiant in this Marchesa gold crushed velvet with delicate embroidery on the bodice dress. Her red stained lips were her statement accessory.

 

I just love Zoe Kravitz.  I thought she looked absolutely beautiful, young, and fresh. I loved her dress. She looks like she had a blast.

  

Nicole Richie looked regal and beautiful in this Reem Acra gown. I love love the back.

Elizabeth Banks wore this gray ruffled layered Versace gown. Her look was modern and clean. Now this is how you take a runway dress and make it Oscar worthy.

 

 Rachel McAdams was a vision of Springtime in this Elie Saab dress.  This is one of those dresses that doesn't photograph well, but it was beautiful on video.

This was probably the best Queen Latifah has looked. She looked amazing in this pink satin 

  

Jenny from the block was a goddess in this dress.  She showed the world that she still has it in this Armani Prive gown. 

 

I really wanted to love Zoe's dress, but I just couldn't. She is such a fashionista and I love that she takes chances. From the waist up this dress is slamming, but once you get down lower it just falls to pieces. Her hair and makeup though are fabulous.

Anika Noni Rose starred in one of my favorite movies, The Princess and the Frog. The dress wasn't bad, but the entire look just didn't scream Oscars. I would have loved to see her with a more modern up do, even a blunt bang would have updated this look.

.

SJP is such a fashionista. You either love it or hate it. I loved the dress but not on her. She is way too short to wear this Chanel HauteCouture gown. And what was up with the hair. Now I know it was a big trend on the Fall 2010 runways to showcase a "messy" hair, but that was the runway not the Oscars. Sorry the look doesn't work for me.

Just because it's Chanel doesn't mean it needs to be worn. I can see this dress in a photo shoot on a 5' 11" model but not for a small 5'3" actress. 

OSCAR 2010

Modern Gypsy

One of my favorite trends this summer is what I am calling,  "Modern Gypsy". The tones are earthy and vibrant, shoes are comfortable and chic, and accessories are bold. These looks are perfect for just about any thing. Have brunch with the girls in style and go shopping after.

Fall into Spring

I absolutely love grey and yellow together. It's the perfect way to transition your Fall greys into Spring.
Rock a dark grey body con dress with a light grey blazer. The yellow pumps take this look from Fall to Spring. Go funky with accessories. This cuff adds another dimension and the yellow stone cocktail ring adds a sense of glamour. Don't forget a big off white bag to carry all your essentials.

Corporate Style

Work attire doesn't have to be boring. When you dress to impress, add your personal style.

Take your classic wrap dress and pair it with an updated pearl necklace and red ruffle pumps.  You will definitely make a lasting impression.

This pencil skirt has been updated with a higher waist. Rock it with a seafoam ruffle top and purple animal pump. Pull your hair back and wear dramatic earrings to complete this look.  Rock this look at your next network event. By the end of the night, every one will know your name.

If you're looking for a job, what's the perfect look? You only have 30 seconds to make the right first impression. Impress the interviewer with a well put together appearance. Keep it classic but add a little something to make it memorable. Take a plain black suit and elevate it to the next level with a ruffle blue insert. Keep the look chic with diamond studs and black pumps.

Stay Fab!
