Oscar Style Phile


Oscar's Red Carpet


Last night the 85th annual Oscar awards took place in Hollywood. Although I am not big on awards shows, I of course tuned in for the live red carpet on E! because we all know that those beautiful gowns and gorgeous baubles are the real show! Here are my picks for the best dressed ladies at last night's show beginning with my pick for best dressed. Enjoy!



Best Dressed hands down! Charlize Theron is a vision in Christian Dior Couture! Everything about this look is perfection including her gorgeous pixy haircut! She owned the red carpet in this look and I absolutely love it!

Kelly Rowland in Donna Karan Atelier
Although I am not feeling the hair, Kelly looks absolutely stunning in the gorgeous black and white gown and the high slit adds just the right amount of ump without being over the top.

Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior Couture looks like the bell of the ball. This dress is not only beautiful but I love that she had just the right amount of accessories and the way she pair her necklace that draped down the back.

Some of my favorites trends from last nights red carpet. These ladies looked gorgeous and carried off their respective looks well.

 Metallics
Halle Berry in Custom Versace, Naomi Watts in Armani Prive, Stacy Keibler in Naeem Khan, Sandra Bullock in Ellie Saab

 Copper, Silver and Gold with Embellishments
Jessica Chastain in Armani Prive, Amanda Seyfried in Alexander McQueen, Catherine Zeta-Jones in Zuhair Murad

Cool Blue Jewel Tones
Jennifer Hudson in Roberto Cavalli Couture, Robin Roberts in Marc Bouwer

Prabal Gurung x Target Purchases

As promised, I have an update on what I purchased from the Prabal Gurung for Target collaboration. I was at my local Target store bright and early (8:00 AM to be exact!) because I did not want to miss out on any key pieces. Unfortunately for me since I live in a small town, my store did not get the entire collection. Bummer! Despite this, I still managed to get almost everything I wanted. The pieces that I purchased were the pointy toe pump in the nolita print, the long sleeve tee in floral crush print, and the blazer in the floral crush print. The two pieces that I wanted and was unable to get were the sweatshirt in first date print and the ankle strap pump in sulfur spring. Although I did not get those two items I am super pleased with what I did get a chance to purchase and can not wait to rock these new pieces soon! Please leave a comment and tell me what you bought if anything from the Prabal Gurung for Target collection.







Grammy Style Phile

Last night the 55th annual Grammy Awards aired and while many people tuned in to see what artists would take home prizes for their musical accolades, I tuned in to see which top artist would be bringing their fashion A game to the red carpet! As with any awards show, there were some hits and definite misses, but I was thoroughly pleased with what some of our favorite top name musical celebrities had to offer. Without further ado,  here are my picks for the Grammy's best dressed ladies and men.

BEST DRESSED LADIES

Lust List: Shoes

Charlotte Olympia

Lately I have become obsessed with Charlotte Olympia shoes! The gorgeous exaggerated island platform I feel is what really draws me to this particular designer. Although I know that a lot of designers in recent collections have strayed from the platform style, I believe it is what makes Charlotte Olympia's designs so special. On the other end of the spectrum, I am also completely in love with the kitty and charlotte's web flats! Although I love a gorgeous sexy heel, I can also appreciate the beauty and functionality of a good flat. Charlotte Olympia does not make shoes for the faint of heart or for the woman on a budget! You can sometimes find a good sale on Charlotte Olympia shoes on Charlotte Olympia's official website, The Outnet, Neiman Marcus or in stores depending on the city/area you live in. Unfortunately for me there is not a store locally that carries the brand. If Charlotte Olympia's price tag is out of reach, you can always go for a look for less that compliments your budget. Here are some of my favorite styles from Charlotte Olympia, including: kitty flats, Dolly, Carmen, Miranda, Polly, Tessa, and Alice. Hopefully I will have a pair (or two) in my closet soon! How do you guys feel about Charlotte Olympia? What high end shoes designers or brands are your favorite?

The Look for Less

Pointed Toe Pumps
Pointed toe pumps have been a staple off and on in fashion for many years and this year they are back with a vengeance! Many designers are straying from the huge platforms pumps and opting for the more classic look of a non-platform style pointed toe pump. You can find these pumps in an array of colors and materials including leather, patent leather, and suede. Although I do enjoy a good platform, I can definitely appreciate the classic pointed toe pump. I am especially fond of all the bright bold colors that designers are currently offering. I have listed some of my favorite pointed toe pumps at various price points as well as some of the ways I wear my pointed toe pumps. I would love to know how you wear your pointed toe pumps as I am always in the mood for some new style inspiration!









Nine West Sally

These gorgeous blue suede babies below from BCBGeneration are a recent addition to my closet. Find a similar pair here on sale!


I also recently purchased the Jessica Simpson Adeni pumps mentioned above. Ladies if you want your own pair hurry (click the link above)! They are currently on sale for $31.99 and are sure to sell out quick!

Prabal Gurung x Target



Over the past few years Target has gained much attention for it's designer collaborations! People line up outside of the store and stalk the website waiting for the merchandise from these collections to be released. Everyone wants to get first dibs at designer fashion at an affordable price! I know I do! I have gotten nice things from the Missoni for Target collaboration and most recently the Neiman Marcus and Target collaboration for the holidays. For that very reason, I am so excited about the Prabal Gurung for Target collection that is being released on February 10th. As I stated in an earlier post, floral prints are definitely in for the Spring and Summer months. This collection offers delicious floral patterns in a variety of beautiful, easy to wear pieces! These pieces will be great additions to any wardrobe and I am sure they will be enjoyed for many years and fashion seasons! There will be shoes, jewelry, blazers, shorts, skirts, dresses and more! I am also totally in love with the bright colors which are reminiscent of Prabal Gurung's signature style. This collection is most certainly one that you don't want to miss so head to your local Target store on the 10th and pick out your favorites before they fly off the racks! I will be sure to post what I pick up on the blog once I am back from shopping.

Some of my favorites from the collection.
