Something Old, Something New

The Boyfriend Sweater

This post is to highlight a sweater that I bought for "my boyfriend".  Hence it's a boyfriend sweater that I somehow worn more than he has.  This sweater is comfy and cool looking, and that's a kick a** combination.

Curating the Red Carpet - SAG Awards 2015

Awards night is always fun for stylist and fans of fashion, but especially for the stylists of the world.  Our minds think, "ok that's what the Hollywood scarlet wore... but would we have dressed them any differently if the opportunity to dress them presented itself?"  It is a goal of mine to dress stars for the red carpet, so I look at red carpets pictures a little more purposefully than others. 

However in the post I wanted to compile my SAG Awards best and worst dressed, as well as a few honorable mentions.  Starting off with my Best Dressed picks.

Sadly, I didn't have much difficult picking Worst Dressed candidates.  I really wasn't a fan of the dark, heavy fabrics this year.  I noticed a lot of suedes, leathers and gem tones that weren't flattering at all.

...And because I'm such a fan of the show I had to spotlight a few of the OITNB cast members as honorable mentions.   Some of their looks were hits and misses for me, but I didn't just want to throw them on my Worst Looks list.

Steal or Splurge - Fringe Mules

When I see comparisons such as this I am eternally grateful for retailer - Zara.  The company is the largest retailer in the world with a "fast fashion" business model that is merely marveled after.  Zara provides amazing clothing and accessories that's always on trend, and priced affordable for all.

Pictured above are two very similar pair of black leather open toe, fringe mules.  However, they are priced way different.  So I wanted to pose the question: would you splurge spending an extra thousand dollars for the Proenza Schouler mules or would you settle for the pair from Zara saving tons of money??  I'm sure many of you recognize the Zara pair from previous post on the blog because I am the proud owner of the budget friendly Zara mules.
