Fall Trendspotting: Blazers




Blazers are a must-have this season. I love wearing blazers in autumn and spring because they are perfect for the weather. I own about five, but I value each one because a blazer is such a versatile item of clothing that can be worn from day to night.

For a casual look, you could pair a blazer with a t-shirt and jeans (below).

If you wanted to dress it up just a little bit, you could trade in a t-shirt for a blouse (below). This was the outfit I wore to Fashion's Night Out in NYC on September 10. This was taken downtown at Uniqlo.

You can also wear a skirt like Leighton Meester (below, filming Gossip Girl). I adore Blair's preppy and chic style!

You can even wear a blazer over a dress (below), whether it's a girly frock or a LBD!

Red Carpet Fashion - 2010 Emmy Awards


Every year the Emmys has some beautiful fashion. This year purple and navy seemed to be the hottest color on the red carpet and many stars flaunted updos. Some did it well, others not so much. That being so, I have compiled my own "Best Dressed" and "Worst Dressed" lists of the awards.

BEST DRESSED


Emily Blunt in Christian Dior

I adore everything about this look. The color is great, and the detail is intricate without being overdone. She looks so elegant and her hair really adds to an old Hollywood vibe.


Kim Kardashian in Marchesa

Kim chose a stunning white chiffon gown that had a beautiful Egyptian neckline detail and full flowing train. I like how she kept her accessories to a minimum by only pairing her gown with a Lorraine Schwartz cuff which complemented the neckline. She definitely nailed it on the red carpet!


Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta

In my opinion, Lea Michele dresses the most consistent at awards shows. She looks stunning here in navy, and I love the asymmetric ruffle skirt. Her hair also looks gorgeous and the Lorraine Schwartz statement necklace adds so much to this sophisticated look.



WORST DRESSED


Heidi Klum in Marchesa

Heidi Klum could've been on the best dressed list in her sparkly Marchesa LBD…if only there was more of it. This mini dress is way too short to wear to an event like the Emmys. I also don't really fancy her hairstyle.


Naya Rivera in Simin

Was Naya trying to out ruffle co-star Lea Michele? Well if she was, she clearly didn't do a very good job. The train of this dress is too busy and I didn't fall in love with the color either. Plus I definitely think she could have gone with a better hairstyle. Her neck looks bare without a necklace or straps, so if I was her I would have left my hair down.


Who do YOU think was the best and worst dressed? Feel free to share your ideas by commenting!
