NYFW + Oscars 2014

It was so much fun picking Oscar gowns from the Paris couture, that I decided to repeat with New York fashion week. And although my efforts are super amateur (borderline creepy), since I cut and paste the heads of the actresses on the runway models bodies, it makes it easier to actually see these girls wearing the dresses. Shall we make some predictions? 

Amy would look fab in this Oscar de la Renta. I am completely obsessed with this. Imagine a billion dollar diamond necklace and she is set. 

Anne did not wear too many things that were this regal last year and I think this Marchesa would help America like her again. Kind of brings us back to her Princess days. 

Cate has the bod to pull off this shape and fabric, plus the ability to pull off this color. I even love the matchy bag with it. Marchesa. 

If they gave this a dramatic open back and she did it up with the jewels, this Jenny Packham would be stunning on Jennifer Garner. 

Yes, yes, Jennifer Lawrence will be in Dior. But, if she could deviate, this Naeem Kahen would be a great departure. Totally different than anything she has worn. 

Julia likes a sleeve these days and this Carolina Herrera has a nice option that is fresh. Plus, there is a slight nod to the Southwest, where Julia lives with her broad. 

Lupita can do no wrong and this white Herrera would be the perfect canvas for her glowing skin and some seriously fun accessories. 

Sandra is a big fan of Marchesa and this red number would be gorgeous on her. 

There is something so damn fun about this Oscar de la Renta. Margot is new and young to the red carpet, so this is perfect for her. A bit of whimsy in a sea of satin lameness. 

I am off for vacation for a week and will write when I get back. Not too long of a wait before we get to the big night! So excited to see if any of these make the cut.

Girl Crush: Miroslava Duma

It has been a busy week and getting through all the images of all of the shows during fashion week is not happening. It is even a little hard seeing all the light pretty clothes when I am really looking forward to sweaters and boots. So far Alexander Wang, Victoria Victoria Beckham and Rebecca Minkoff are highlights and I hope to get through some more of the shows over the next week. 

Let's face it though, seeing the street style rivals the shows themselves. While the Courtin-Clarins sisters are still my fave girls to see, Miroslava Duma has seriously won me over with her eclectic, pulled together, yet I-just-threw-this-on style. 

I love her easiness and choices that appear to come straight from her own closet, not a stylist's. Miroslava also does not pick choices to make too bold of a statement, just to make a statement. She has fantastic style and I wish I could sit front row with this girl. 

At the very least we can get inspired by some of her looks this week and channel a bit of what this girl has showed us on the streets of NYC. 

1. Coach $198

2. ASOS $112

3. Baublebar $300

4. Marc Jacobs $298

5. Baublebar $49

6. J. Crew $175

7. Madewell $118

8. J. Crew $95

9. Becksondergaard $149

10. Baublebar $36

11. TopShop $58

Happy NYFW.

NYFW & Weekend Wishes

This week has been filled with a lot of online time scoping out fashion week. From the collections to the street style, it is almost overwhelming trying to look at everything. The ultimate time suck, but an amazing one at that. 

If I had to pick a couple collections that I can actually see myself shopping the most looks from, it would be 10 Crosby Derek Lam and Rachel Zoe. Not only are these more in the realm of my wallet than most collections, I also just genuinely loved all the looks. 

The fur coat, layered with the leather coat (love the color), on top of the leather skirt and printed blouse that hangs underneath is overkill, but so great. 

I have always loved shirts hanging underneath skirts, which is weird. But I do and the addition of this peplum sweater is adorable. 

I want every piece of the last look. Especially the vest and belt. 

Rachel obviously is going to give us some retro 70s fun along with some glamour. 

The nod to Julie Christie in the first look is fun and I love the muted colors. 

This cape is that perfect purchase to help you get over the weather being cold again. 

I love the printed dress, especially the cut and slit going on. 

Bright velvet plaid is now on my "need to try" list.  

Not sure what is going on with the head muff, but I love this white dress with the draping and center slit. 

It is fun to channel Rachel a bit and look around for dresses that you think will land on the red carpet at the Oscars. These should at least be options for some of Hollywood's ladies. 

If I was going, it would be between the Rodarte and the J. Mendel. Loving all the gold. 

My wish this weekend is to find some of these in my closet come Fall (slim chance). 

The DVF dress is so vampy with the neckline and the sleeves. For something serious, though. 

Buffalo check at Michael Kors had me at hello.  

Nothing like an all white outfit (never happening) to love. The coat and skirt are amazing from J. Mendel. Charlotte Ronson wore the cutest sweater for her bow, which was also on the runway. 

 There is something about this BCBG dress I love. 

Here's to more shows to come and fun fantasy shopping to do!

Weekend Wish

Another week full of NYFW fun. But of all the pictures I have seen, this is my favorite. 

People.com

I just love thinking about what kind of conversations took place between Anna and Nicki Minaj. It will keep me giggling all weekend. 


Here is to a great weekend and I wish for all of you to have a Nicki-Anna moment at some point. You never know what kind of friend/fashion tip/recipe/story/idea may come out of it.
