Quote of the Day

"What is a closet, really, but a catalogue of the different personas we have auditioned and discarded? Hanging there in our closets are reminders, both good and bad, of who we are, who we've been, and who we've hoped to be." 

- Tim Gunn, A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style

Award Season Continues

Personally I thought the style at SAG Awards, where bright color and one-shouldered gowns ruled, was superior to that of the Golden Globes.  Can the Oscars (February 22) top both? Here are a few of my faves:

Viola Davis in David Meister

Kate Winslet in Narcisco Rodriguez (could she look ANY better these days???)

Evan Rachel Wood in Monique Lhuillier

Inaugural Style

Not in recent history have the celebrities come out in droves for a new president like they have for    President Obama. With all of the

pre-inaugural events (like the star-

studded "We Are One" concert at Lincoln Memorial, attended by hundreds of thousands) and the 12 Inaugrual Balls celebrating the new First Family, everyone had a chance to strut their stuff in honor of the changing of the guard.  The members of First Family themselves looked awfully chic as well! Here are some pics from the various Inaugural events:

And the winner is...

My vote for Best Dressed at the 2009 Golden Globes?...

In leaps and bounds it was Eva Mendes (whose style has been impressing me a lot lately) in a white silk taffeta Dior gown, complimented perfectly with a gorgeous vintage turquoise and diamond statement necklace and cocktail ring from Van Cleef & Arpels. 

And the worst?  I knew Renee Zellweger would wear Carolina Herrera as always, but..really, Renee?  THIS is the outfit you chose? I wanted

to like the 2-piece look, if for no other reason than for her effort to be different in wearing separates, and I might have liked it on a different woman, but with Renee's pale skin, prom hair and muddy makeup, it was just a mess.  The usually completely unadorned Zellweger did wear two Verdura Maltese cross gold cuffs , but alas, it was too late. What is her aversion to earrings?
