I love watching awards ceremonies just for the gorg gowns from all the celebs! Here is a recap of best dressed if you missed it!!

These are my top ten gowns (in no particular order)





Anne Hathaway--Giorgio Armani Privé embellished paillettes and Swarovski crystals. The low open back with high shoulders makes it all come together for the light amber color.



















Lea Michelle--in Oscar de la Renta this ruffled one-shoulder dress looks great on her!! The color is perfect!



















Catherine-Zeta Jones--in Monique Lhuillier emerald green gown. The texture and color made this ballgown!




















Olivia Wilde-strapless chocolate brown embroidered Marchesa ballgown, Christian Louboutin shoes, jewels by Tiffany’s and clutch by Judith.




















Angelina Jole-wore a to die for green Versace dress, Ferragamo shoes, and Robert Procop jewels. Elegant and without showing to much skin(by far my best dressed of the night)



















Leighton Meester-Jimmy Choo shoes and a Nude Crepon Print Ruched Crescent Dress from the Pre-Fall 2011 Burberry Prorsum collection. Not to forget this gossip girl's Louis Vuitton clutch and Cathy Waterman jewels! Beautiful as usual.


















Emma Stone--Calvin Klein Collection peach gown. Looks lovely with her hair color and minimal accessories.





















January Jones--wearing a sexy red Versace dress that shows off her body! I'm usually not a fan of the cut out dresses but if you've got it flaunt it.



















Carrie Underwood-wore Badgley Mischka on the red carpet. Carrie finished her look with a Swarovski blush metallic leather clutch, Brian Atwood shoes, and Johnathon Ardnt accessories!





















Julianne Moore-wore a Lanvin dress and shoes while completing her look with Bulgari jewelry and bag. The one sleeve caught my eye and then the attached necklace made me fall in love.

My Unforgettable Celeb Fashions of 2010

Lady Gaga--2010 VMA's meat dress.UNFORGETTABLE. Just one of the outfits she wore that night, but the most memorable! "However, it has many interpretations but for me this evening. If we don't stand up for what we believe in and if we don't fight for our rights, pretty soon we're going to have as much rights as the meat on our own bones. And, I am not a piece of meat."- Lady GaGa



















Rachel Bilson--2010 Annual Gen Art Film Festival. Rachel Bilson is one of those girls who just has effortless style. Basically everything she puts on is going to look good without her trying. This white bra top frock looks fab in white paired with nude heels. Got to love.


















Miley Cyrus-- 2010 Oscar's. Speaking of (and of course I didnt forget) the Oscar's, Miley!! She looked gorgeous presenting at the Oscar's in Jennifer Packham gold part satin and part sparkle chiffon. TIP: this dress has a look alike from Sherri Hill!!!!! Available at Cherry Tree Lane in Florence!!http://www.sherrihill.com/2455.htm
Sherri Hill has other Miley dresses too check them out on http://www.sherrihill.com/


















Zoe Saldana--2010 Oscar's. I know I am on an Oscar's role but I couldn't leave this dress out. Zoe wore a Givenchy sequined bodice gown with shades of purple poms on the bottom. A lot of fashion critics said no to this gown, but I fell in love. I think it was a perfect match with her skin color and figure.



















Katie Perry--2010 MTV Movie Awards. I didn't say these were going to be good looks, but they are my favorite! This get up Katie Perry wore has to be unforgettable. Don't get me wrong I LOVE wigs and nail polish, but I would have picked something a little different to go with this dress(that reminds me of Britney). Definitely a fashion risk Katie.




















Rhianna--2010 VMA Performance. The white tutu,boots,and sparkly 70's headband breakout Rhianna's new image at her performance. Not to mention her new flaming red hair! Gotta love her new look to go along with her new album.



















Kim Kardashian--Prestige Magazine Cover. Kim has a fabulous sense of fashion, but this has to be the best of 2010 for her. This cover is a little risque and the dress defiantly makes a statement. The Blondes spiked dress and matching spiked louboutins have got to be and outfit to remember from Kim Kardashian.




















Snooki--Pickle Queen Halloween 2010. I told myself I wasn't going to put Halloween costumes on the list, but pickle queen couldn't be left out. I've got to hand it to her she was creative with her costume and the girl must love her pickles.




















Lea Michelle--2010 Grammy Awards. This rising star made the best dressed list of Cosmopolitan Magazine. Oscar de la Renta in midnight blue(the new black) took the red carpet over. An unforgettable moment for this Glee star on her way to fame.



















Emma Watson--Harry Potter Premiere. This dress is barely there, but HOT. I say yuck to the see throughness(thank goodness for the built in bra) and the hair cut but she's got it goin on. This lace and feather dress was made by designer Rafael Lopez.



















Beyonce--2010 Grammy Awards. Giorgio Armani Prive chain metal silver and gold gown, Swarovski-ecrusted dress. Dont forget her Ruthie Davis golden platform sandals. Just her audience dress for the show no big deal.













Selena Gomez--2010 Vanity Fair January Issue. Selena wore a beautiful Roberto Cavalli dress for the photo shoot! I adore ruffles!! This is a great "grown up" but yet still girly look for her first Vanity Fair shoot.


















Leighton Meester--Gossip Girl Episode 1 of Season 4. I am crazy about this Moschino dress that she wore on the first episode of season four. Its PERFECT for Leighton's character Blair Waldorf and the fact that it was filmed in the fashion capitol of the world, Paris. Obviously this gossip girl made the Teen Vougue Top 50 Best Dressed Celebs of the Year.XOXO



















Kate Middleton--Engagement Announcement with Prince William. I have to say this is not my choice of style, but this dress will be remembered forever. This blue Issa dress was a hit for a royal engagement along with the nice sapphire and diamond accessory on her left hand. The original dress sold out of store within 24 hours of the announcement. Now you can buy your own replica of the dress and the ring both under 29 dollars. As the rest of the world, I'm patiently waiting on the wedding gown.


















Taylor Swift--2010 Teen Awards:London--Taylor is a doll in her Reiss white lace dress. Finished off with taupe accessories and oxford lace up booties from Nine West, you can't say she isn't the cutest little thing you ever did see.

















Jessica Alba--Elle photoshoot December 2010. The pages of Elle look like a dream with Jessica's Miu Miu Resort romper, pink with turquoise and white polka dots. This romper has the perfect contrast with the dots and long sleeves. Even though it was the December issue we all needed a little sun!















Reese Witherspoon--Avon Foundation for Women Gala. I don't usually like a tan color on blondes but with the black it makes it a good combo. She's so cutesy in any style she tries out. Reese wore a Jason Wu dress and of course Christian Louboutin heels. (love the red nails)










Kate Hudson--2010 Golden Globe Awards. Gorgeous is the only word to describe this white Marchesa gown on Kate. I don't care for the shoes she chose with it but the style dress looks so good on her. It screams hollywood glamour girl!

















Sarah Jessica Parker--Sex and the City 2. SJP is the creative director of Halston Heritage so it's no surprise this peach dress from the line made it to the big screen. I really feel like the one shoulder/sleeve is here to stay for quite a while. The style is so chic no matter the body type. Purchase your own exact dress from the movie at NeimanMarcus.com $325.00




















Lauren Conrad--Elle Magazine Cover. You didn't think I would forget Lauren did you? 2010 was the year of the romper!! Got to love this cute multi colored strapless one on LC. She is darling, should I say more.

Bows,Ruffles,Roses, and Frills





Some of my favorite things:

BOWS RUFFLES ROSES AND FRILLS-I absolutely love anything that is girlie. It takes me back to being a kid playing dress up and making my little brother play house and do whatever I said. Lucky for me flirty ruffles and BIG bows are all the rave right now. I can't have to many bows on everything I own like headbands,skirts,shirts, dresses, and my coat. These are some helpful hints for incorporating these in your wardrobe.

Headbands: We can start off with my favorite way to sport the BIG bow! I have countless sizes and colors of bowed headbands. To me they make any outfit a little cutesy. If you aren't too sure about it yet try a smaller bow, but as for me the bigger the better.
This black headband is from Urban Outfitters for only $16.00 The pink and cream colored ones are smaller and cheaper at forever21.com $2.50 The rhinestone double row headband is from shopbop.com $84.00




















The bouquet clip and the tortoise shell bow barrette are both from Anthropologie.com. Both accessories are small but can add just what you need to your hair to complete an outfit (and clip back your hair at the same time) $18.00 and 38.00















Jewelry--Used as a statement piece or just an added frill it's always classy. This beautiful necklace is from JCrew.com $295.00. This Betsey Johnson pink rose ring can add something extra to an all black or neutral outfit from BetseyJohnson.com $45.00
























These cute little
gold bow earrings are from Tiffany and Co. $300.00 (what a great Valentine's Day gift boys)You can't beat $1.50 for three pair of earrings!!! Forever21 always treats me
good on deals like this and these shabby chic colors go with most of my wardrobe.










This leather bow cuff can be casual or dressed up from glamsquadshop.com for $14.99.
Funky feathers and gems are girlie too!! Forever21.com $4.80 you cant pass this glamourous deal by.



















Handbags--Can be the key piece in your closet! I always like to have low key handbags and purses so the focus can be on my outfit. I like basic colors with a little twist in the design. It never hurts to go outside your box a little though. Non expectant colors and patterns can always add to a boring dress that doesn't feel new anymore. These girly handbags,purses,and clutches are just a few that can spice it up or keep it simple.


Jessica Simpson knows how to keep it classy with this all black handbag with the perfect sized bow on the front. $88.00 (wherever Jessica Simpson is sold-Belk)



This grosgrain nude chain and bow over the shoulder long strap purse has a subtle bow for the not so bowish people out there. I found this one on topshop.com $55.00. I really like the fact that it is nude so it can go with any outfit without trying.









Free People makes this Rosemallow Weekender bag that is great for the weekend but I might would carry it as my handbag. It has a butterfly like combo of brown and pink with leather handles and adjustable shoulder strap. Look for it on freepeople.com $428.00.











The Army green vintage Chanel bag is a hard find but you cant let something like this go when you see it! This quilted lambskin shoulder bag has the cutest tassel that gives it jus
t enough frill to go with the edgy color. I
found it on riceandbeansvintage.com $800.00.















Wristlets are the best if you don't want to carry around a huge bag. This pewter one is perfect for any outfit plus it has the huge stones for fun. $25.00 on latrunkshows.com



Shoes--One item that matters most to women are their shoes. So who will answer the age old question of most men "Why do you need so many pairs of shoes?" If you are a talented shopper then, like most, you have an over abundance of shoes in your closet. After all you could never wear the same shoes everyday! These are a few that stand out to me with their frills and rosies and are basically calling out my name.


The Colin Stuart floral mesh booties that lace up the back of the heel are a pair I would put with a simple dress or skirt because they draw so much attention with their details. I found them at Victoriassecret.com $128.00.
The dainty ballet inspired pumps can be worn with almost anything. The blush color is so appropriate for this winter and I cant get enough of the point shoe look. BCBGMAXAZRIA.com $195.00.



Of course the ultimate shoe designer always turning heads, Christian Louboutin, has a frilly ruffled shoe. No one would be able to let you walk by without noticing these red (top and bottom) flashy shoes. Found at Barney's New York.







Steve Madden doesn't disappoint me with these floral oxford lace
ups. Great for the start of spring or paired with skinny jeans and a cardigan found at stevemadden.com $39.00

Sometimes you have to go for the comfy shoes but still dress to impress and that's just what this little flat will let you do. The big jewel on top makes it dressy for work or play. ninewest.com $79.00.















If Paris knows anything it's her bow. These croc style leather peep toe pumps have just the right sized bow on the side. Paris Hilton heels.com $94.99. These wonderful wedges are low to the ground and great for a long day at work. They have a rose pattern with jeweled details on the front and the back of the heel. Poetic License from Zappo's.com $98.95.




















Off the rack--From rosettes to ruffles its all about the frilly look! Even the most simple clothing can be ten times better with a girlie touch. A layered ruffled look can look great on most body shapes but be careful, you don't want ruffles in the wrong places. This pink ruffle dress from BCBGMAXAZRIA found at Saksfifthavenue.com $238.00. It shows the ruffles in just the right places having a smooth back and sides to show off the body shape and not camouflage it. The denim bow front shirt is from BillyRied.com $147.00 It is fitted in the waist and the denim fabric gives it a more masculine look but the bow tops it off with a feminine touch.


















I am the #1 fan of the romper!! I love love love them all patterns and syles. This free people strapless floral romper is defiantly on my spring wish list. Its so 70's and perfect for an outdoor party. Its $128.00 and found on freepeople.com. Judith March is one of my favorite designers and her style is the definition of girlie. She incorporates flowers, bows, ruffles, and and the cutest patterns in her clothing. This Judith March one shoulder dress with the flower embellishment is around $98.00 and found at genealogy.com but you can find Judith dresses at your local boutiques.






















This romantic lace dress is beautiful and in my lulu's shopping cart. Its retro bohemian feel is perfect paired with some nude pumps or white block heels for this spring. For only $38.00 on lulus.com. The baby pink ruffle top with grey bow belt Lauren is wearing is from her collection at Kohl's. You could wear this like Lauren with a cardigan or blazer for now and on its own for warmer weather. Its only $40.00 and found at Kohls.com.



















LOVE the bows on this Banana Republic coat. They are know for their simple designs with little details. I found it on thisnext.com for only $50.00 cannot pass this one up because this coat is no longer available on bananarepublic.com.

This Morning Mists top from Anthropologie.com is $88.00. This would be great with jeans and flats for a low key weekend. The shimmery rosettes gathered at the front are so pretty paired with the neutral colors.
