2010 Golden Globes Picks

So the 2010 Golden Globes happened recently and I wanted to share my picks for best dressed. I definitely see this is as a forecast to this season's colors. Thanks to Just Jared for the pictures. Click on the image to make larger.

Best Dressed Men:
C
hace Crawford in Dolce & Gabbana - sleek, tailored and refined. This is how you wear a skinny tie guys.






Tay
lor Lautner in Calvin Klein Collection - A little sheen goes a long way.








Robert Downey Jr. pulls off the no tie very well contrary to other critics out there not liking it


.




Best Dressed Women:
H
alle Berry in Kaufman Franco - WOWZA did she look amazing!?!







J
ennifer Aniston in Valentino - Talk about that slit! While I didn't care much for the tussled hair look, she pulled that dress off amazingly.






Courtney Cox in Victoria Beckham - Yes, I said Victoria Beckham! While Courtney rarely makes the best dressed lists... she looked amazing in this outfit.






Z
oe Saldana in Louis Vuitton - I know this is controversial but I LOVED it. It contrasted well and she pulled it off beautifully.






F
ergie in Elie Saab (with Josh Duhamel in Dolce and Gabbana) - My vote for the best dressed couple. It was clean and surprisingly she looked beautiful and like a goddess.






Dr
ew Barrymore in Atelier Versace - I loved this on her. Not many people can pull off the material coming out but the nude tones matched her complexion perfectly. Bravo Drew.






Rees
e Witherspoon in Armani Prive - Simply Effortless...








Ho
norable mention:
K
ate Hudson in Marchesa - While the top was impeccably fitted and beautifully done, it was hard to appreciate the dress when its being held up. It just looks messy towards the bottom.






While the outfits were amazing, some I wasn't so crazy about. This wasn't probably the best dressed award show I've seen lately but I'm hoping the SAGs and the Oscars brings out the glamour of it all.

Changing With the Times

Welcome back to my blog everyone...

I was grappling with what I would return with... A what not to wear? A sale tip? A favorite pick of mine? Then I started to think about what tone I wanted to present for this new direction I would take with my blog. It finally landed after watching an episode of ABC's "Ugly Betty." While her message was about goodbyes, I knew I wanted something that represented who I am now and who I want to be in the future.

This blog has seen its share of evolutions, some great things like "the look for less" to some not so great things like "Paris Hilton's Hot and Nicole Richie's Not." When I look at blogging and what it has become, its not only owning a blog but always changing it up. I want this blog not to only have posts about my outfit picks from a particular designer but to feature articles that are important to me. Not only is the blog content changing, but you'll find that I'll be posting more on Facebook and Twitter. Don't worry, it'll be a wonderful mix of everything.

As an editor, I continually strive to improve and change my site. But as a person, an individual who is experiencing life's ups and downs, I am seeking change myself. When I started this blog many years ago, my goal was help my friends when they sought my help. I've seen its change and welcome the next part of my life; hopefully as an admissions advisor to potential FIDM students. I want to not only see these passionate individuals but guide them to reach their goals. While I've had this goal for awhile, I'm finally able to share that with all of you, my readers.

So while this editor's letter may be a bit out of the ordinary, I take it as a declaration to all of you, my readers, that I will continue to provide you with the best advice that I can give.

Blog Update

For those who are still here with me, thanks. As you can see, it has been awhile since I made a post. I've been diving into my image consulting business. It's been hard to keep up with this while not having a support staff. This blog is anything but dead. I like to think of this community, this home for fashion-lovers and bargain hunters, as a work in progress. Overtime, you'll notice slight changes to the site and hopefully I can bring on some new editors soon. So hang tight. Updates will be sporadic while I get this back to a normal pace... so make sure you subscribe!!

It's a new year with so many new opportunities. Let's make this year a great one.

And remember, always dress your best (even if its in sweats and a tee).
