Fresh From My Favorites

Now this just really makes my day. I can't believe I'm a day late, but yesterday both Miu Miu and Armani debuted their new ad campaigns featuring my most loved, most watched, most envied living style icons, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckam. LOVE.

RED CARPET RUN-DOWN

Now that I have had time to let the Golden Globes marinate, I thought I'd publish my opinion about the fashion hits and misses on the red carpet this year. Here I have the good, the bad, the blah and the just god-awful. To begin on a good note, my absolute favorite gown of the evening had to be the beautiful, tiered, black number worn by Evan Rachel Wood. This is my dream Red Carpet moment dress. FLAWLESS!

The Good...

These women gave me a good dose of Red Carpet fashion hits! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Eva Mendes in Dior

Gorgeous! Sleek winter white, an oversized unexpected bow and fabulous accessories- Perfection!

Olivia Wilde in Reem Acra

This Springtime hue really translated well on the red carpet. It was subtle yet surprising and one of my favorites!

Eva Longoria in Reem Acra

Though I am not usually a fan of Eva or the mermaid skirted gown, this sexy style completely stole the show- well done!

The Bad...

No, no, no, no, no! But really, am I all that surprised?

Jennifer Lopez in Marchesa

We've seen this all before. You are a mother of two who hasn't done much of anything in a loong time. Stop trying to dress like Ms. Golden Globe and cover up already!

Drew Barrymore in Dior Haute Couture

The dress is pretty, fun, and fanciful. To ruin a Galliano creation with big southern stepford wife hair is just downright wrong. Being in the business forever, Drew should totally know better!

Beyonce aka Sasha Fierce in Elie Saab Couture
I don't think this girl even knows the definition of class. A thigh-high slit, loads of cleavage, sparkle sparkle sparkle and a whole lotta bling- where have we seen this before?

The Blah...

You'd think these women- with all their talent, beauty, discretionary income and overall fabulousness- would come up with something a little more exciting than these for the Golden Globes. Just so blah... very disappointing ladies!

Cameron Diaz in Chanel Haute Couture

I know if I was wearing Chanel that was especially made for me,

I'd try to look like I didn't just get out of bed! Preposterous!

Penelope Cruz in Giorgio Armani Prive-

How is it possible for such a sexpot to look so incredibly dull? Booring!

_____________________________________________________

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace-

Sure with that face, hair and bod she looks like a Grecian Goddess...

but for once I'd like to see her try something that isn't black, white or neutral!

______________________________________________

Kate Winslet in Yves St. Laurent-

A little too classic and refined for the Globes, where's the fun?

So happy she won though!

The God-Awful...

Renee Zellweger in Carolina Herrera

Renee absolutely takes the cake as worst dressed on the red carpet. The hair is reminiscent of a bad 1980s Prom 'do, the sheer top is screaming for undeserved attention and the skirt is a dramatic end to a red carpet tragedy. With all the beautiful gowns in the world you can't help but ask WHY?? Hopefully she will redeem herself at the Oscars... time to hire a new stylist!

Here Comes the Sun...

In honor of the tickets I just purchased for Spring Break with the fam (!!!) I thought I'd show off a few of the super cute swimsuits I browsed through in the Victoria's Secret Swim 2009 catalog (victoriassecret.com) ...Time to get on the treadmill!

Oh Vicky, How Badly I Wish To Be You...

OMFG

In honor of Gossip Girl's return to new episodes tonight, I thought I'd put together a post inspired by my favorite GG girl- Blair Waldorf. Her style is impeccable and her attention to detail, flawless. The little details let us see just how fabulous and luxurious she actually is. From her footwear to her headwear and even her sleepwear always scream high-style. Here are some Blair-worthy pieces at Jenny-affordable prices. XOXO.

Flowers, Flowers Everywhere...

Well Spring sure isn't here yet, but with the holidays behind us it is definitely something new to look forward to! It seems hot Hollywood, however, has already caught a glimpse of Spring fever. Floral gowns and dresses are all over the red carpet these days. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...

Kerry Washington in Oscar de la Renta

Tadie Newton in Matthew Williamson (my personal fave!)

Kristin Davis in Michael Kors

America Ferrera in Oscar de la Renta

Their inspiration? My guess would be the scene-stealing, trend-making New Yorkers in last May's debut of Sex and the City: The Movie. Yes, your favorite foursome have done it again! F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! Here are a couple of my favorites...

Luckily for the recessionista, there are multiple options that can give you this high-end Hollywood look for a tiny fraction of the cost. Love it!
