Green With Envy - Golden Globes 2011

Another fashion trend that did not go unnoticed on the red carpet tonight was the fabulous ladies making those in their path "Green with Envy". Angelina Jolie-Pitt wearing Atelier Versace (I have to say, I am really loving this long sleeve trend on the red carpet as well);  Elisabeth Moss wearing Donna Karen; Mila Kunis wearing Vera Wang;  Catherine Zeta Jones wearing Monique Lhuillier.

All About Neutral's - Golden Globe Fashion 2011

I have to admit that when it comes to awards shows, the Golden Globes are kind of a bore for me.  I watched for all of five minutes, before I had to switched to Desperate Housewives for a little Sunday night entertainment.  However, I have always been and will always be a fan of the red carpet! 

There were for sure a few stand out trends for the night "Lady in Red", "Green With Envy",  "Sexy in Black" but my favorite had to be the lovely ladies that were "All About Neutral"! My favorite of the night was Anne Hathaway wearing Armani... sleeves, backless and sparkles!  Need I say more.... She looked absolutely stunning.  

Sandra Bullock looked age appropriate, wearing Jenny Packham.  Lea Michele seems to have found a silhouette & designer that works for her,  wearing Oscar de la Renta. Jennifer Lopez, looked like a modern day princess, wearing Zuhair Murad.  Dianna Agron had a slight Old Hollywood  glam feel, wearing J. Mendel.  Scarlett Johansson wearing Elie Saab.  Not what you would typically expect but it works in her favor.  Then there was Emma Stone wearing Calvin Klein rocking a very understated look, the true definition of "simple chic". 

What was your favorite trend of the night?

Happy Monday + Weekly Runway Wish List

Photos via: Style.com

Well another week is upon us and I for one am thrilled.  This Friday Im heading to San Francisco for work, which means I will be staying the weekend with my family and picking up my little pup Frankie who has been spending the last month with Grandma due to all of my recent traveling.  I cant wait to see my little one, I miss him so much.  It has been way too quite around the apartment without him.  Although with my recent schedule I am glad he's been at Grandmas where he can get the attention he deserves. 

So with the fabulous week ahead I thought I would share with you my Runway wish list featuring one designer and five looks from any current or future season that I would like to be wearing this week.  Im currently loving Rebecca Taylor's Fall 2010 line, especially these five looks featured above. Everything about it is so perfect.  The colors, the textures, the laid back luxury!  Im going to try to recreate at least one of these looks with my current wardrobe and will be on the hunt for a pair of wide leg gray pants just like these! 

Rebecca Taylor inspires me... what fashions inspire you this week?

Happy Monday!

Etsy Must Have: Leilanni Land

In theory a shrug, a skirt and a sweatshirt are all very simple items, but then I discovered Leilanni Land and they became so much more.  In Leilanni Land a simple shrug is transformed into a cocoon cardi-cape in black and while chiffon, $120; a basic pull-over in magically changed into a pointy sleeve sweatshirt in heather gray fit for a superhero, $45; and a basic skirt becomes a sexy elastic cage skirt with underlining, on sale for $84. I mean seriously, Its clear to see that Leilanni has a knack for making the ordinary look extraordinary.

Emmy's Fashion Trends 2010

Royal Hues & Ruffles

Sparkling Champagne

Although I was a bit underwhelmed in terms of the overall fashion statement at the 2010 Emmy's, we must admit when was the last time we were actually overwhelmed at an awards show?  None the less I still like to keep hope alive.  Above are my favorite picks form the ladies that I saw.  Once I pulled them all together I found that of the six I liked they all fell in to one of two trends that seemed to be occurring on the red carpet, so I grouped them as such. I have to say my #1 would have to be January Jones, for the simple fact that she took a risk.  I love the color, the volume and the texture of the dress she choose, her new shoulder length bob was a winner too! Well done ladies! 

Who were your stand outs from the evening?

p.s.  Congrats to MadMen for winning a Emmy for Best Drama... much deserved! 

Lauren Moffatt: Fall 2010

I had never heard of Lauren Moffatt before until reading the recent issue of Lonny Magazine.  Let me just say it was love at first site.  The way her Fall line is styled is what really drew me in. I love the mix of fabrics, patterns and colors.  Being born and raised in Northern California I have always been a fan of layering! The school girl chic vibe was also a nice touch.  This season, I vow to try the whole sock and heel combo and I plan to actually pull it off.  Stay tuned...

Be sure to check out Lauren Moffatt's website to see the entire Fall collection, as well as the Gold pained "hand & foot" chair on the homepage, which is to die for!

I Love Hue; Olive Chic

Sequin bustier cotton dress, Alice & Olivia, $495
Encore L'Amour silk-chiffon bra, Mimi Holliday by Damaris, $90
Encore L'Amour silk-chiffon thong,  Mimi Holliday by Damaris, $60

EGGENBERG Peep Toe, Aldo, $90
14k White Gold 1/3-ct. T.W. Certified Diamond Stud Earrings, $875

Color me Couture, Lorac Eyeshadow Palette, $37

I'm totally loving the hue Olive right now... maybe its all the military influences seen on the Fall runways, but I simply just can't get enough.  "I Love Hue" is a new feature you can come to expect on FWD where I will feature an outfit centered around a Hue I'm totally loving at the moment.  And since the things I love are constantly changing,  I Love Hue will be a very random feature that may happen several times a month, but at the very least, you can come to expect it once a month.

Let me know what you think.  What's your favorite hue at the moment?

J'adore Dior, Resort 2011

Sugar pie, honey bunch.... I think I love you!  Dior's Resort 2011 collection is giving me everything.  I know its not exactly innovative, but I just can't get enough of the 60's american chic influence. Everyone single one of these looks would fit perfectly into my wardrobe. One of each please! 

My personal soundtrack for this collection... 

• I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) by The Four Tops

Fallon's Favs: Oscar Fashion

I always enjoy watching the red carpet of any award show, although I will have to say that the Oscar's are always my favorite mainly because of all of the stunning gowns that Hollywoods leading lady's choose to wear.  Zoe, Demi, Rachel and Charlize looked absolutely amazing! Honorary mention must go to SJP and I will have to say Miley Cyrus looked fab... although I swear I've  seen this dress before. 

Who were some of your stand out favs of the evening?

(Wallet Friendly) Wish List: F21 Nov 09

While the economy is seeing a slight improvement I feel like the term wallet friendly is here to stay. Consumers overall have become smarter about their purchases and are choosing to spend there money more on investment pieces. But a girls gotta eat.. so to speak. So when it comes to fashion trends I personally love turning to F21, Zara, H&M and TOPSHOP for wallet friendly options that bring you instant gratification.

Below is my current Wish List at F21. All items featured are UNDER $30! Yes, I said thirty dollars and under! Now I'm not saying these items will last you a lifetime, but I have found if you take care of your purchases (even from F21) they will last just about as long as you need them. Case in point... I have a fabulous corduroy blazer that I purchased from f21 back in 2002 and still wear it come Fall to this very day!

Basketweave Trim Tunic $11.50

Grommet Knit $17.50

Crep Chiffon Beaded Top $24.80


Urban Studded Booties $28.50

Dolman Shimmer Sweater Tunic $22.80

Leatherette Shingle Skirt $22.80

So go out, spend a little money and if you start to feel bad just reminder yourself you doing the economy good. What are some of your go to stores and or websites for wallet friendly fashions?? Do share...

xoxo,
Fallon

Hide & Seek...

With all of the recent fashion week events and fashion shows I think we were all a little in the mood for a beautiful Spring day...at least for the duration of fashion week. Don't worry I am by no means in a a rush to skip Fall and Winter. The fall season just so happens to be my favorite, but in the spirit of fashion week, I too found myself with a small case of spring fever.

Be sure to check out this lovely short film by one of my favorite designers, Cynthia Rowley. The film is titled Hide & Seek and features looks from her Spring 2010 collection.



Stay tuned for a look at my favs from the runway.

xoxo,
Fallon

Ruben Toledo for Vogue Nippon

Ralph Lauren Spring 2009

Anna Sui Spring 2009

Ralph Lauren Spring 2009

Hermes Spring 2009

Ruben Toledo has always been one of my favorite illustrators, ever since I started collection his Nordstrom ad's when I was younger. He has such a distinct style that you instantly know a Toledo when you see one. Recently Toledo paired with Vogue Nippon to create these fashion postcards capturing the fabulous moments of the traveling fashionista. With the exception of the Anna Sui, I'm really not a fan of the featured looks, but boy does Toledo make them look good!

Look Book: Prada, Fall/Winter 2009

I came across the Fall/Winter 2009 look book for Prada and was blow away. Although when it comes to Prada creativity is always at the forefront, but the layout of this look book is like nothing I have ever seen before. They are a bit darker than my usually taste, but I feel so drawn to them and inspired by the overall effect. I love the collage technique used on each photo! I want to create some Prada inspired collages of my own. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Seriously, I have been searching for the perfect "borrowed blazer" for what seems like forever now. Then today it happened, we met face to face at the Anthropologie in Short Hill's, NJ! It was love at first sight... I mean seriously, take a look at the fabulous blazer above. As it turns out since it has taken me so long to find the perfect blazer, I have had some time to create the perfect outfit around it (in my head of course). Then I thought now is the time to bring a little "life" to my daydreams and share this lovely look of the moment with you. Click on the above picture to see details on all the items featured. You probably wont believe me when I tell you that one of the items featured above it only $14!!! Yep. That's right UNDER twenty bucks! So hurry, now. Go check it out for yourself.
