colorful emmy dresses

I loved all the gorgeous dresses at last night's Emmy Awards! It was amazing to see all the beautiful colors. There was such an array of yellows, pastel blue and greens, burgundies and metallics. The only thing I was missing was some fun pinks! What was your favorite dress of the night!?

met ball

It's pretty much a goal of mine to go to the Met Gala one day. It's like the Superbowl of fashion. All rules are cast aside and designers lend A-list attendees their most fabulous pieces. The colors on last night's red carpet were amazing. I loved the bright citrus hues and the range of blush tones. Metallic dresses had unique patterns and the blacks were anything but basic with textures in everything from reptile to jacquard. The different hemlines were so fun. The feathers and trains were beautiful and I'm obsessed with Marion Cotillard's sheer plum skirt. I'm sure they'll be controversial, but I think Lily Collins' and Sarah Jessica Parker's Valentino's are gorgeous. I adore all the pretty pinks. I love Allison Williams' Ralph Lauren, Amber Heard's Zac Posen and Emily Blunt's Calvin Klein. My absolute favorite look may be Diane Kruger's. It's a nontraditional silhouette and the bodice, hair and accessories give the glamorous look a surfer-chic twist.

winter white

Emma Stone looks so lovely in this Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture dress. Leave it to her, one of my favorites, to wear the ethereal, girly dress so perfectly. I've been waiting to see a piece from one of my favorite Couture Week collections make an appearance on the red carpet. Katy Perry rocked a blue, bateau neck gown from the collection at the Grammys but Emma just pulls it off so much more gracefully and beautifully. I love the details, the sleeves and that back! The dress really looks like a piece of art.

a valentine's vow

I never thought I would be a fan of this couple. I mean, unlike my roommate and her sister, I'm not a die hard fan of Step Up. But recently I've been loving Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum! She's been rocking the red carpet, I loved her Golden Globes gown, and he seems so nice and charming. She looked absolutely ready for a Valentine's Day date at the premiere of The Vow. How perfectly appropriate considering her husband's movie looks like the most weepy, romantic, cheesy, wonderful Valentine's Day movie!

The Tadashi Shoji Spring 2012 dress is overtly girly with its pinkish red lace, layers of tulle and a ribbon bow. I probably would have opted for neutral shoes and clutch, but it kind of works that she went over the top with the Valentine's Day theme, considering the event she was attending.

grammys 2012

The Grammys are coming up this weekend and, again, I'm so excited to see what everyone will wear! Typically, the Grammys are much less formal. The vibe tends to be more rock 'n' roll and less princessy glamour. My favorite looks are always the ones that are still chic and beautiful, though. I love when the stars take advantage of the wilder dress code and wear different colors, shorter hemlines and trendier looks.

This year, I'd love to see neons and bright colors and metallics. I also hope that the shorter dresses remain dressed-up and festive. I'm really not a fan of seeing clubwear, or tacky looks at the Grammys. I hope to see a lot of sheer, color and floaty fabrics, similar to what I loved at Couture Week.

mellow yellow

What is with me and yellow these days? I never wear yellow. I barely even own anything yellow, but these days I'm loving all things sunny and gold. I'm dying over Nikki Reed in this yellow Jenni Kayne dress. The fit, the color, the way the material hangs, it's so perfect and unexpected.

I guess it's time for me to get my hands on my own yellow frock. I love these options below. All of them are a little more marigold than crayon yellow, but I think they'd add a dash of happiness to my wardrobe!
