Emmy’s Best Dressed Moments!

Posted on 22 September 2008 by Wendy O

It’s Emmy time! Did your fave T.V. celebs win? Great! Now to the important stuff…who wore what best of course. If you missed the Emmy’s red carpet, don’t worry, we’ve filtered out the best of the best so you don’t have to!

Like with all red carpet events, there seemed to be a few underlying themes, so we are going to break down our best Emmy’s Best Dressed moments for you. Tiered dresses, classic black dresses and diaphanous gowns ruled the red carpet, with the usual list of suspects on our best dressed list. Check out our picks to see if your fave celebs make the cut:

Tiered Dresses:

Brooke Shields in Badgley Mischka

Not too flouncy, precious or skimpy…Brooke Shields manages to marry fierce and feminine in this gorgeous Badgley Mischka gown. Minimal accessories and natural makeup and hair make her look easily one of my favorites of the night.

Black Dresses:

America Ferrera in vintage

Debra Messing in Monique Lhuillier

I don’t know which one I like more; America’s ruched vintage dress or Debra’s frothy tulle number from Monique Lhuillier. All I know is that these ladies better hold on to these dresses because they are gorgeous and timeless. You can pull these dresses out again in 10, 20, 30 years and they will still look fabulous. Again, they took the minimal road in accessories and hair to create a glowing and natural red carpet look.

Diaphanous:

Christina Applegate in Reem Acra

Mariska Hargitay in Carolina Herrera

Christina and Mariska looked every bit the television goddesses that they are in these one-shouldered gowns. Oddly, they both chose colors that read more spring than fall, but somehow, their dresses work. It was extra special to see Applegate out there and rockin’ it once again after her recent bout with breast cancer.

Best Dressed:

Heidi Klum in Armani (source)

What, like you are surprised? Heidi has been seriously ruling the red carpet as of late, and this Armani number simply stuns. She looks like a mermaid disco queen and I love love love it.

Thanks for checking out our Emmy’s Best Dressed coverage…let us know what you think of your favorite celeb’s red carpet ensembles!

New York Fashion Week Spring 2009: Erin Fetherston

Posted on 08 September 2008 by Wendy O

Erin Fetherston, Spring 2009 Collection (source)

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again; I love Erin Fetherston. I am cursing myself for not snagging anything from her Target line, and I always look for her new stuff every fashion week. La Fetherston has Parisian roots in her fashionista training, which clearly come through in her designs. Her clothes make me want to frolic in the fields surrounding Versailles with Kirstin Dunst, and to later have a lovely pic-nic with the Jolie-Pitt clan by the river Seine. But that’s another blog all together.

Back to the matter at hand…so pastels for spring aren’t exactly a groundbreaking idea. There’s no doubt that every other designer from Nanette Lepore to Max Azria will dabble in lighter palettes for sprint. What I love about Erin’s line is the metallic elements, vintage prints and flounce upon flounce upon flounce. Seriously, I had a “Peaches N’ Cream” Barbie doll in the 1980’s that had this beautiful peach dress, and I think that Erin may have had the same one. Observe:

So, the lesson learned from the Erin Fetherston show:metallic floral or 1970’s bohemian fashionista prints and pastel chiffon are totallly in for spring. If you are like me and can’t afford the couture stuff, save yourself a thousand bucks and take thee to the thrift store for vintage prom/bridesmaids dresses. The more flounce, the better. Just be sure to wear a slip under the transparent stuff, okay? Nipples are only acceptable on the runway.

David Beckham Is The Top Model Of Choice For Emporio Armani

Posted on 01 July 2008 by Jacqueline H

It seems the world can’t get enough of this football star turned model. In Beckham’s latest conquest to rule the world, he is the top model of choice when it comes to modeling those Armani designer briefs.

David Beckham
“Bend it like Beckham” - David Beckham sporting the goods as the face of Armani’s underwear campaign.

From Sharpie pen’s to product lines. You can bet it’s got the Beckham seal of approval. But maybe it has something to do with his wife - the fashionable Victoria Beckham.

More recently David launched the new line at the Macy’s in San Francisco, California.

Looking larger than life. Beckham graces the front of Macy’s. All hail Beckham!

From the lips of the Greek god himself; “I always wear the Armani underwear,” Beckham said as he stood in front of Macy’s in San Francisco’s Union Square. “I’ve worn it in every game since joining LA Galaxy because it is comfortable. It’s masculine, but it has that feminine side.”

The LA Galaxy star was great to his fans, signing autographs, taking pictures alongside unveiling the high-profile designer’s fall underwear line.

Well this is keeping the football star busy for now. But we’re excited to see what the Beckham Empire will create next. Stay tuned.

Couture in the City was lucky enough to get a sneak peek at the new Ugg Australia fall line, and let me tell you, we’re officially excited about cool weather dressing. With 14 new looks to love, this is not the Ugg’s brand that you remember. Sure, there’s still plenty of shearling looks to go around, but this season, it’s all about streamlined sophistication.One of the sexiest looks from this collection was the Oliviya…super versatile and feminine, these ankle boots are flattering on almost any body type and work easily with skirts and slacks.

For a more rugged look, our editors picked Cargo III…these are the ulitmate weekend chic boot. Pair these with tucked-in skinny jeans to get the most mileage out of this look.

Cargo III

Our favorite, must have pair for the season has to be the Seline…ivory, wedge, knee-high…what’s not to love? I can see these paired with a cable-knit sweater dress and a latte on a frosty winter’s morn…gotta have these!
