An Emmy for the Best Dressed

It’s that time again; award show season! That for me, means dvr-ing the E! pre-show and getting half way through and deleting the actual show because I am so bored. The fashion and extravagant gowns is what I get giddy for! Here are a few that I thought deserved a few stylish pats on the back…

Brooke Burke is always beautiful and looks like a busty angel in this white sweetheart neck, up to there dress! Her tousled locks and statement necklace add the perfect finishing touches to the ensemble.

I am not sure where Claire Danes has been for the past decade, but we all noticed her in a big way when she stepped onto the red carpet in this glitzy Giorgio Armani Prive gown, stunning!

I had to take a few looks at this one in order to decide what I thought about it and I came to the conclusion that I love it. It has such a reminiscence of the good old days of riding in a carriage through the town. All she needs is a pretty parasol to twirl around as she walks, in one word…Exquisite.

Eva Longoria Parker 95% of the time gets it all right and she did once again in this all black Robert Rodriguez gown. The top half part is sort of like a corset and the entire bottom including the train is made up of small rosettes, super elegant!

Okay, no I do not think this dress was Emmy appropriate whatsoever, but I did love this Marchesa mini! It would be better if worn to a movie/series premiere.

Although, for some reason I do not like Lea Michelle her stylist hit the jackpot with this royal blue, winding staircase of ruffles gown by Oscar De La Renta. It fits her like a glove and this color always look jaw dropping on a brunette.

Lastly, this one is my personal pick for BEST dressed, Nina Dobrev in Zuhair Murad. She looks like a glistening glass of expensive champagne! The crinkled fabric mixed with the shiny fabric underneath creates dimension and the way the one shoulder wraps around gives it a high-end toga look, dazzling!

Faux Yeah!

It’s fake and it’s fabulous!! Faux is here and back in action in everything from boots to handbags to full on fur jackets. I love that fake is in for once in the fashion world because I do not approve of the use of real animal fur, not nice! There are so many rockin’ options you have to pick from to either go full on furry or just a little peek… choose your favorite and strut!

Start out with just a little touch of faux, with a warm luxe stole or a cozy trapper hat for the cold, windy weather!


Wanna get your hands on some perfect fashion forward outerwear? Parkas are literally EVERYWHERE already and almost every one has a little bit of fur for some added detail. This one by Rebecca Taylor is perfection:

Not down with the parka look (A.k.a the “homeless person jacket”) well full on animal is the way to go then! Free People makes this great mid-length jacket:

And leopard is pretty much my new obsession right now. In the past I have sort of dreaded the look, as it reminded me of a trashy L.A. blonde type, but I have to say I’ve come around and am drooling over this Alice + Olivia jacket:

I really love this Loeffler Randall jacket that combines two of this season’s biggest trends; Fur and military.

Bomber jackets are a staple for a casual look and look awesome with a pair of jeans and a pair of your favorite combat boots.

Rachel Zoe has a bazillion different versions, and if you can afford it, why not! I’m talking about the oh so coveted fur vest. Alice +Olivia is all about the fuzziness right now and they make jaws drop with this GORGEOUS peacock looking version and this more exotic take on the leopard print:


If your not willing to be that daring go for the more classic style with this MICHAEL by Michael Kors piece:

If you love this trend so much and even want to carry your personal belongings around with a little added oomph, this slashed handbag with furry sides by ROMYGOLD is all you need:

What girl doesn’t love to have an amazing pair of stand-out shoes! Christian Louboutin is never a man to disappoint his red heeled loving woman, just look at this furry pair of booties he has designed for the Fall/Winter….I’m speechless.

If you aren’t really into something that outrageous, a more casual pair of shearling or wedge booties will do the trick!
