Paris F/W 2012 {Street Style}

{Buttery yellow + Eiffel} 

It wouldn't feel right to offer a retrospective of NYFW's street style and not Paris'. After all, everything is more chic with the tuileries in the background!

Red Carpet Review {Academy Awards 2012}

{Milla Jovovich looking stunning as usual in Elie Saab}

Why is it that no one shows up to the Academy Awards looking like a milk maid anymore? To be quite honest I miss those days. Lately it seems like every celebrity just plays it safe and that is oh so dull! The last time I was genuinely excited about a dress was in 2010 when Zoe Saldana wore Givenchy. Almost every look I liked this year was beige. Here a few of my favorites this year.

{Jessica Chastain in uniquely embroidered McQueen}

{I'm always happy to see something that isn't strapless. Giuliana Rancic in Tony Ward.}

{Jennifer Lopez's Zuhair Murad gown is perhaps my fave}

{Finally a color! I'm loving the unique bust line of Viola Davis' Vera Wang.}

{Rooney Mara looked modern yet ethereal in Givenchy Couture}

NYFW F/W 2012 {Street Style}

{This photograph epitomizes Fashion Week— the walking, Chanel, the rain, and an unexpected element like the hat}

Between Instagram and my RSS feeds I was slightly overwhelmed with New York Fashion Week madness. Now that it is all over I can happily sift through the chaos at my own pace. These are a few of my favorite street style moments. Isn't it amazing that what goes on outside the tents causes almost as much of a frenzy at what goes on inside?

{Fur hooded vest and those sunnies. Brilliant.}

{Caroline Sieber's ultra sheer tights suddenly seem so fresh now that matte black ones are so commonplace}

{Floral on floral. These printed pants aren't going anywhere. And how adorable is her curled bob?}

{Liz Cherkasova of Late Afternoon's contrasting top knot is making me want to ombré my hair}

{Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's boots remind me of this Anna Dello Russo moment}

{Lauren Remington Platt makes her spring dress cold-weather appropriate by adding textured tights, a collared blouse, and a bright jacket}

{Bright yellow trousers and that scarf! Linda Fargo knows what she is doing.}

{I'm loving Joanna Hillman's varying shades of blue and bright lip}

{Jewel tone Celine trousers}

{Yellow + coral + turquoise}

{Tweed paired with a graphic print}

{Navy lace with a white blazer and a dash of leopard}
