Golden Globes 2013

Awards Season Time again! I love awards season for all the dresses and the trend spotting so let us start through my list shall we? This is my third Golden Globes picks list now by the way :)
One of the biggest trends of the night was red.

Claire Danes in Versace

Claire Danes, who won a Golden Globe in Homeland, also was a winner for me in this outfit. It's simple but striking which is her style, I've noticed.

Blanc et Noir

Yesterday, while Manila had Bloggers United 3, I spent my day out with my friends Mithi, Lea and Jane. We went to watch Snow White and the Huntsman. It was good considering it was Kristen Stewart but I thought it was a mixture of different movies like Harry Potter (Mithi couldn't get why but just watch it and tell me if you didn't feel a Harry Potter influence), Narnia and a few others I forgot. We ate dinner at Lachi's, but Jane had to leave after and so Mithi, Lea and I had nothing left to do. We were driving aimlessly around the city then Mithi had this brilliant idea to drop by Blanc et Noir over at Casa de Habana compound.

Christmas Style Inspiration: Blair Waldorf

It's finally Friday!!!

So, I can go about posting things other than my giveaway. Yipee! Three consecutive posts of giveaways! Have you guys joined any? :)

Also, it's finally December! Can you feel the coldness in the air already?

I do. I've had a bit of a cold lately, which led me to miss a couple of days in school.

So anyway, on to the post!

Blair Waldorf has just grown so much as a character, and as well as in her fashion choices, hasn't she? Her look now is a far cry from the preppy queen bee who popularized the hairbands which came to even be known as the "Blair band". As in my Serena style inspiration post, inspirations for holiday wear came from last season, during their quick jaunt to Paris. (I can def say Paris really is advanced when it comes to fashion!)

Look # 1: Red

What says holidays more than red? This gorgeous red Oscar dela Renta dress is love! And hello, those shoes would make Carrie Bradshaw drool!

Favorites from the 2011 Emmy's

To me, the Emmy's always signaled the start of awards season. And awards season always means celebs in red carpets and fashion, fashion, fashion! Sometimes it gets really hard to keep up with everything, especially since all the Spring Fashion Shows are going on at the same time, but oh well. Everything just looks so purrrdy!

Here are again some of my favorites. I look at the dress and not the overall look.

Cat Deely in Monique Lhuillier


Jennifer Carpenter in Tony Ward Couture

Julie Bowen in Oscar dela Renta

Evan Rachel Wood in Elie Saab

I just love all these sparkly dresses, especially the neutral ones. They spell glam without going over the top. Look Evan Rachel's dress, very old Hollywood glamour!

Model I Love: Karlie Kloss

I was looking through Teen Vogue today. I don't know what happened but I guess I stayed too long on their site and kept clicking on links within the site that I stumbled upon Teen Vogue's interview with Karlie Kloss for her cover which was way back in April 2010. After reading it, I became more of a Karlie Kloss fan than I was before.It's so nice to hear that she is still grounded and not some stuck-up diva. Afterall, she does make a lot of money

It's hard to believe she's only 19 yet she has reached a SUPERMODEL status (Well, there's that 10-year old supermodel already but still). Designers are generous with their praise, saying they haven't seen such grace and poise since the supermodel era. Personally, I like her because not only is she pretty, she has an open (or what we call maamo) face that makes her look approachable. Not only that, she can morph into so many characters and transform into different looks.

Here are some of my favorite Karlie Kloss runway looks and spreads:

Calvin Klein Spring 08
She looks almost elfin here

Rodarte Fall 08
