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!

September Covers

I am a self-confessed magazine junkie.

All my friends know that I've been collecting magazines for about half my life now. I started with teen magazines like Candy, Meg and Seventeen Philippines (when it was still available), then I graduated to Cosmo, Preview, and Mega. I stopped buying them brand-new though cause they were costing me some major bucks! I now just settle for back issues. With that, I am able to buy a lot of foreign titles at the price of the local magazines (or even less). My favorite is Harper's Bazaar.

These are the September 2011 covers for most of the magazines I regularly buy.

On the cover of Harper's Bazaar US this September is Lea Michele, while in Harper's Bazaar UK it's Beyonce.

It's awards season time again!
Time to see who ruled the red carpet at the 2011 Golden GLobes!

My favorites were

Lea Michele in Oscar dela Renta
She always picks dresses like these, but she looks good. Claire Danes trumps all the pink-wearers in my opinion though.

Claire Danes in Calvin Klein
(by the way, her husband is GORGE. Hugh Dancy, WHY? :(( )

Sandra Bullock (not so sure about the hair though!) in Jenny Packham
Favorite Studded Dress

Dianna Agron in J. Mendel

(I'm not really loving the shoes though, but she looks like a goddess, as always!)

Zac Efron in Calvin Klein. He looks HOTTT with his new hair.

(I guess I'll forever be biased with Zac Efron)

Carrie Underwood in Badgley Mischka

(not digging the hair though)

Favorite Romantic Look

I'm not really a fan of Leighton's red carpet looks. I think this one is her best yet!

Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive

Favorite I'm-Breaking-Free-from-my-Good-Girl-Image Look:)

I am in love with the way she just carried that dress! Such a far cry from her pre-Prada days! :)

My observation: A lot wore their hair down. Colors were light, leaning toward the nudes, pinks. Staples like black and silver also showed up. Long-sleeved dresses with the backs cut out were also a common occurrence--Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway and Emma Stone donned them. I love Emma Stone and everything, but I don't like her blonde hair, and her pink dress sort of washed her off. 

There was a lot of sparkly dresses also; Taylor Swift would be proud! :) There was a lot of green as well--Angelina Jolie, Mila Kunis, Catherine Zeta Jones in Monique Lhuillier. (and I thought ORANGE was the color of the year. Glad it's not!)

I also noticed that a lot of the artistes were not in their usual all-out flamboyant selves. I loved Tilda Swinton's look too, by the way. She proved LESS is definitely MORE.

Tilda Swinton in Jil Sander

Justin Bieber's suit looked too big for him, just to comment.

And yeah, I haven't seen Black Swan yet but congratulations to Natalie Portman for winning Best Actress! :)
