For those who forgot to watch it on Sunday night, Mad Men and Modern Family took over the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. But let’s be honest, what’s more important is the Red Carpet Arrivals. It’s no Academy Awards but we were graced with plenty of elegant dresses that were designed by Oscar de la Renta, Elie Saab, Marchesa, Peter Som, and Emilio Pucci to name a few.

To my surprise, a lot of actresses showed up in solid colors in black, blue, green, purple and red – all looking stunning as ever. I was glad to see a handful of simple … Read More »

Highway to Hell: Anna Francesca’s Edgy Spring 2012 line | September 19, 2011

As “Highway to Hell” blasted through the speakers, so did Anna Francesca’s Spring 2012 collection which was titled “Lucifer.” The show began with a cut-out red and black ensemble with giant angel wings, being escorted by a black caped grim reaper character. Needless to say, it set the tone of edginess, a unique heaven vs. hell runway show.

The next outfit to appear was a soft feathery V-cut dress with a pretty pink waistline. Lace, ruffles, chains, corsetry, shimmer and shine— Francesca used many materials and shapes for her collection which kept the audience on their toes. What was going … Read More »

Having been diagnosed with a serious shoe addiction, I was SO EXCITED and anxious to see Rolando Santana’s collaboration with Manolo Blahnik at his runway show on Wednesday night at Exit Art Gallery. The gallery was packed with people stirring about what would be in his line for the spring summer season 2012. Socialites and celebrities such as Stephen Baldwin graced the front row. As the fashion industry does so well, the show started a bit fashionably late—but was completely worth the wait! Imagine yourself walking through the streets of Italy. The romantic setting and classic style is all around … Read More »

These two radically different styles can give you two extremely different fashion personalities, making for lots of separates to mix and match for great Fall looks.
