Style sHERO


A sHERO to me is the female version of a hero, understanding completely of course the "proper" term is 'heroine' but being a sHERO has little to do with social convention or being what the 'herd' would deem proper. 

Today I have to say my STYLE sHERO is the brilliant British Actress/Writer Emma Thompson. Not only did she star in and write one of my FAV films; Sense and Sensibility, based on Jane Austen's 1811 novel. 
Emma as Elinor Dashwood

She became my style sHERO by casting off style convention and wearing a 1930's Vintage dress to the SAG (Screen Actors Guild) awards tonight with Christian Louboutin FLATS. This is her second award show in a row in a Vintage frock. Proving once again that Fashion's Past will always be chic, current and present!

She wore a 1930's Dress with stunning beaded bird applique on the shoulder. The hem is unique and the silhouette on her is perfection. The dress came from William Vintage in London.
The choice of shoe is authentic and amazing! We all know how uncomfortable heels can be and although they have a time and a place flats are still a fabulous alternative, even on a red carpet.  The golden glitter D'Orsay flats were Christian Louboutin. 

A Style sHERO is someone who dresses authentically and ignores trends and traditions.

BRAVO Emma!!

I have some fabulous Vintage frocks for you at Evolution Vintage lets touch base before the Oscars!

Couch Critique: 2013 Golden Globes


The Golden Globes are always a highly anticipated red carpet for me as it marks the beginning of award season. I always celebrate the looks I love here. No need to bash the bad, if you don't see it on my list there is a reason.. I literally was couch critiquing yesterday with a less than fabulous flu.

My FAV looks:
Julianne Moore in Custom Tom Ford.
 Katharine McPhee was a SMASH hit in Theyskens Theory
Kate Hudson in Alexander McQueen
Kate Hudson was Natural and Flawless! Love the neck/shoulder dress detail!
Heidi Klum in Alexandre Vauthei

 Olivia Munn in Georgio Armani
 Louise Roe in Femmes d'Armes
Naomi Watts in Zac Posen
Kerry Washington in Miu Miu & VINTAGE Movado Watch

Jessica Alba was STUNNING in Oscar de la Renta WITH a fabulous diamond necklace which to me is the crown jewel of strapless dresses (PS: not a fan of that bag).
My biggest underwhelming moments came via accessories, or the lack there of. So many lovely strapless dresses ALL with bare chests. I think Jessica got it right and looks like a movie star. The rest ... boring. IT looks more cocktail than red carpet without the necklaces. We can call this red carpet "trend"
Naked Neck.

On The Fringe: In White

Model: Constance Jablonski - VOGUE Spain 2011 - Marc Fast Dress

Fringe is ALWAYS FUN but for me it is super chic for SUMMER.  It has many faces from the ultra glam, out of this world editorial and casually chic.

These style Mavens are on the fringe ...
