Skin was in this year at The Globes. A nude palette reigned supreme.... New mom Megan Fox showed no signs of just having pushed a baby out of her teeny tiny body in lacy Dolce Gabbana. Songbird Amanda Seyfried was etherial in lace inlay Givency (were it not for that wretched tie clip looking neck accent, she would have been my best dressed). Never one to shy away from baring some skin, Jennifer Lopez wore strategically placed lace Zuhair Murad- could have skewed IceCapades but her flawless hair and make-up kept just this side of cheese. Hollywood darling Amy Adams looked every bit a siren in a nude mermaid cut Marchesa and gorgeous pin waves. The color was a risky move for a redhead but it paid off in spades. Kerry Washington stole the show in nude embellished Miu Miu which, mixed with her fabulous bangs, was sheer perfection.

The Critics Have Spoken....

And the biggest trends kicking off awards season are.... Patterns are having a big moment this season with starlets donning flowery frocks on the red carpet. At last night's Critic's Choice Awards, French fashion plate Marion Cotillard and indie darling Elle Fanning both flocked to florals, wearing Zuhair Murad and Chanel respectively. Shine was was another big trend on the red carpet last night. Anne Hathaway (who broke my heart into a million pieces with her "I Dreamed a Dream" - a slightly better version than the one my sisters and I performed for my parents' poor friends at dinner parties) stunned in a simply cut Oscar de le Renta while Emmy Rossum was an etherial vision in glittery Caroline Herrera.

Year End Style Wrap Up

While closing out all my 2012 jobs, I realized I never posted images from one of my favorite shoots with photographer Thomas Hoeber. I ended up building some fun pieces on set out of tulle. Insider tip- you can make shoulders as big as you want with that netted wonder! We also used some incredible hairpieces made out of safty pins the the uber-talented Steve David. Here are some of my faves.

Phew... I've been busy!

I have been MIA from my blog with good reason... launching fall fashion! The past few weeks I have been to Minneapolis and Tijuana to style shows, a few shows at Bloomingdale's here in SD and a fun shoot for a cutting edge prosthetic leg! Here's some shots from my last few weeks:-)

Fall trends at FNO

Fashionistas across the globe stepped out last night in support of what else... fashion! Now in it's fourth year, Fashion Night Out has grown to span the nation, with everyone from Saks on Fifth Ave in NY to local shopping hot spot Fashion Valley celebrating designers, trends, models and celebs! If you're wondering what is hot for fall, search no further than last night's looks... New "It' girl Jessica Chastain rocked the leather trend in a killer dress with strategic black side panels- super slimming, not that she needed it! Nikki Reed was shining bright in a gold Michael Kors dress, a hot hue for Fall. It was clear bold color isn't fading away anytime soon with Sports Illustrated beauty Kate Upton, and my personal favorite, Victoria Beckham donning fabulous aqua and tangerine frocks.

Dining Diva

Here's a sneak peek of a Riviera shoot I styled with Food Network star, Melissa D'Ariban at Seersucker. For someone who cooks and eats all day (and is a mom of 4!) she had no problem slipping into this teeny tiny DVF dress compliments of Bloomingdale's. Jean-Michele Cazabat moto booties-- key for fall--, a Kate Spade necklace and leopard cuff added the final touches on this yummy look!

Riviera's Look Who's Talking

I had the chance to style the lovely and groovy Noa Azlouay-Sclater for this month's Look Who's Talking section of Riviera. She is a total throw back to 70's cool, from her wardrobe to her home... But she didn't mind throwing on a very modern Vince Dress, Couture fur vest and Giuseppe Zanotti booties (Thank you Bloomingdale's!) for this killer shot!
