Wow! After a few lull red carpets I was ecstatic to see so many vivid colors, sexy nudes, debonaire tuxedos, and glitz galore last night at the Golden Globes!!! Here are my favorite looks from the night's stunning red carpet ladies and gents.

My Favorite Blacks & Browns

Prada (and Nicole) never looked this good! Nicole Kidman is glowing in this butter Prada gown covered with sequin embroidery.



It looks like Scarlet Johansson is recovering well in this nude, 1940's Elie Saab gown.

Simple, chic and memorable...Emma Stone pulling off this peachy nude Calvin Klein Collection dress with ease.



Not one to make many mistakes on the red carpet, Clare Danes is beautiful as always in a bubblegum pink Calvin Klein Collection gown.

Pregnant and sexier than ever....Jane Krakowski wows us all in this slate blue Badgley Mischka number.

The Best Deals Around...TODAY!

Today's Theme: Buy Now, Wear Now!






Unless you are hiding under a rock, you know it's crazy sale time!  This year, more than ever, stores are marking down newer merchandise to make room for their new Spring collections.  Which means more goodies for you!  I know how much time it takes to shop for great sale pieces and the amount of time we all spend researching & comparing prices is ridiculous.  I've even tried a few websites that claim to compare them all but they seem to be missing the mark... So, I've searched everywhere for you and here are some of my favorite deals for Buy Now, Wear Now clothing.  As a side note, Saks has the best sale, hands down, dollar for dollar, designer for designer so make sure you check their website out for some amazing deals (Saks Sale Link).


JACKETS & BLAZERS



Trouvé Embellished Vintage-Style Cropped Jacket

For those of us who love vintage pieces this is a gorgeous addition to your collection! Wear it with basic tees & tanks or on top of your favorite LBD. It's a steal at Nordstrom for $89.90!!!



Leith Deconstructed Basic Black Blazer
Gorgeous blazer with princess seaming on the back and easy to style up or down with your favorite jeans, silk blouse & a funky necklace or as a layering piece over a sexy printed dress.
Amazing deal at Nordstrom for $109.90!





Splendid Soft Twill 2-Button Blazer
Comfortable, versatile, & sexy twill blazer from everyone's favorite casual line, Splendid.  It's going fast so go check out this blazer on ShopBop before they are gone!  Perfect casual fit & fabric for your casual chic outfit. Only $53.10!!


Aryn K Knit Blazer with Chain Trimming
I think blazers are a sexy and easy way to style up any outfit and this blazer is a hit in a yummy, knit fabric with sexy gold chain accents on the lapel & cuffs.  Stellar deal from Nordstrom for only $57.90!!

TOPS



LNA Long Sleeve Low Back Tee
How about a better alternative to normal, boring tees?  I love LNA tees and their fit is always spot on.  The back of this tee is where the sexiness is at so don't stop here...add a printed scarf and let it hang low on your back!  This tee is only $27.90 at ShopBop!!



Love Sam Silk Safari Button Down with Coin-Embellished Shoulders

My favorite t-shirt line always does casual chic in style! A great tee to wear alone or styled under a blazer, with a funky scarf, and a fun mixed metal necklace.  Get it now at Intermix for $59.



Vince Burnout Cowl-Neck Sweater
I'm always a sucker for cowl-neck sweaters...they look great on every body type and this Vince sweater comes in a light weight burnout fabric perfect for layering tees underneath.  Plus, the wine color is very flattering on darker skin tones and sexy brunettes! Check it out at Cusp for $84.



Rebecca Taylor Animal Print T-Shirt
Coming from someone who's not so crazy about animal prints I love how Rebecca Taylor made animal prints look funky & casual. The sleeves are slightly oversized and the shirt drapes easily on your natural waist line making it easy to throw on with some skinny jeans.  Get this at Cusp for only $52.



Vince Boyfriend Button Down
A perfect button down for those of who can't stand a structured, thick constraining button down!  This looks super comfy and would be ideal to wear with your jeggings & boots or tucked into a tight mini skirt with booties. At Saks for $92.39.

DRESSES

BCBG Faux Leather Panel Dress
If this isn't sexy then I don't know what is!  Easier and more comfortable than leather the faux leather skirt and poly/spandex bodice flatter any figure.  I'm a little obsessed with the exposed zipper, too!  I love it with black patent pumps, tights & ankle booties or with strappy leather sandals in the Summer.  It's at Saks for only $69.99!!!



camilla & marc Bold Shoulder Dress
If this doesn't scream JAN, then I don't know what does! This dress is simply gorgeous.  It is sexy, stylish, flattering and just plain YUMMY  and will go fast at only $151.19 at Saks (originally $540).

Alice & Olivia One-Shoulder Chiffon Party Dress
I love this magenta color and how easy it is to get creative with!  Check out the navy tights & green suede booties that the girls over at Cusp styled this dress with!  Love it!  
Grab this before its gone at Cusp for $96.

Robbi & Nikki Beaded Tank Dress
A perfect neutral for almost any skin tone and a little glitz to spice up the casual cut of this dress.  Cute as a button with tights or show off your bare legs with sexy stilettos.  Grab it at Nordstrom for $169.90.


Marc by Marc Jacobs Striped Jacquard Dress
A super fun strapless dress from none other than Marc Jacobs.  It's pleated throughout with metallic hues in each stripe. Add a pair of girlie pumps to tone down the funkiness.  
At Saks for only $175.69 (originally $628!).



Clu Knit & Silk T-shirt dress
I love the knit & silk combinations on this sexy, yet comfortable dress from Clu.  It's easy to wear year 'round with tights & boots or flats/sandals.  Don't forget to spice it up with some funky jewelry!  
It's only $149 at Nordstrom.

DENIM


AG Slim Boot Cut Jeans
Dark, clean classy wash perfect for any occasion plus the denim is lightweight and super soft...what else can you ask for? The rise is pretty average at 7.5" and the inseam is 35".  
Hurry up because these are going fast at ShopBop for only $111.30!



Genetic Highrise Skinny
This is a great streamlined, sexy jean perfect for dressing up at night with heals, a silky top & a blazer or even with a chunky oversized sweater during the day.  
At Intermix, these have an 8" rise and 31" inseam and are only $129. 


J Brand HIGH Rise Skinny Jeans
If you're looking for a skinny jean with a higher rise, a dark navy wash, & zipper hems these are for you.  I can't get enough of J Brand jeans and these will never go out of style... Just watch, you'll see zippers come in and out of fashion forever.  Grab 'em now at Cusp for $93.


Joe's Grey Cigarette Skinny Jeans
Amazing color & extremely soft denim are why these jeans landed on my favorites list.  This fit is perfect for curvier women and can be worn alone with flats & heels and are skinny enough to tuck into boots. Get these at Cusp for $57!!!!


J Brand Boot Cut
Obviously,  I'm a fan for simple, dark denim and these are no exception to my rule...the cleaner the wash the classier the jean!  Your butt looks better with NOTHING on the back pocket and pocket placement is EVERYTHING.  These have a little higher rise (9") so they allow you to be curvy & show off your booty.  These gorgeous jeans are $111.30 at ShopBop.


Levi's Vintage Boot Cut Jeans
Ahhhhh!! Don't you wish you kept your old Levi's?!  Luckily, the gals at Levi's were smart enough to reinvent themselves and they relaunched their old fits with sexy, distressed boot cut styles...and you guessed it, Intermix grabbed them first!  Try these for a casual chic look with an oversized, slouchy tee or sweater.  From Intermix for $149.


TEXTILE Elizabeth + James Flare Jean
That Mary Kate & Ashley sure seem to know what they are doing because all of their clothing lines are on fire!!  I am a BIG fan of their denim line, TEXTILE, and love their fit, fabrications, & vintage details.  This particular pair has an average rise (7.5") and a nice long 35" inseam with a flared leg opening.  There is slight distressing along the pockets & hems and they already feel worn in the first time you try them on.  Go get them at ShopBop for $171.50.


Stay tuned for sale shoes, handbags, and all other accessories!!!
