SAG Awards 2013 Inspi(Red) Carpet: Cobalt Blue Gown

Continuing on my award show favorite looks, I picked out my favorite SAG awards dresses for this year.  Surprisingly, there were three fabulous long blue gowns I loved including Jennifer Lawrence (although that weird dress coming apart thing I wasn't into), Amanda Seyfried and Giuliana Rancic. I even based a style collage based G's look that evening!  Check it out at the end of the post.

On to my top three faves from the SAGs.  My favorite look of the night was Amanda Seyfried's look with her gorgeous Zac Posen gown. The detailing on the bottom, the long necklace and the side swept hair took this from ordinary award show gown to extraordinary!  I haven't seen someone play with a necklace of that length for an awards show, particularly with a strapless dress so she scores extra points for creativity.  The side-swept hair was again, totally on trend it seemed!

Next is my girl J. Law. who seems to get this red carpet thing right most of the time. I like the color -- this deep blue gown thing seemed to be the type of dress for this event -- and her hair is side swept and perfect for a formal, but not to uptight style.  The fit of the gown also made this dress really stand out on her.  She knows how to dress her figure and that's half the battle!  Go girl!  P.S. I can't wait to see Catching Fire!

Third favorite was a hard category for me.  I had to split it between two looks I really liked:  Nina Dobrev and Claire Danes.  Both were simple silhouettes with a pop.  Nina's pop was the color choice and Claire's pop was in that dolman/bat-wing one-shoulder long sleeve.

They both did a fabulous job!  I know I have to mention that Claire Danes also had a baby recently and looks like she's in fabulous shape, even without the help of her spanx!

Also honorable mentions go to looks I thought were nice and intriguing including Marion Cotillard and Nicole Kidman.  Although, Nicole always dresses like a star, she can't win all the fashion awards!

Here's the style collage I pulled from Guiliana's dress from that night. Enjoy!

On the Radar: Glamourous One Piece Swimwear

With the previous post I had put together some adorable two-piece swim looks, but don't think I forgot about you one-piece loving ladies out there!  It seems that for as long as I can remember, the two piece bathing suits have dominated summer swim looks.  But in recent years the one piece has been slowly making its way back into the spotlight.  It never quite went away I think, it just gave in to the popularity of the two piece.  Well, one piece lovers, it's your time to shine!  There are some seriously cute one piece looks out there now.  I'm actually dying to try on most of these myself.  So if you're looking to cover up more or just to try a new hip fun look, these are the suits for you!  I love the retro-glam of some of these suits which evoke that pin-up and bathing beauty look.  One  benefit of a one piece is that it can have a sexy low neckline and low back while still maintaining coverage that won't fall off in the surf!  That's something a two piece cannot do.  I'll award serious style points for that.

I cannot decide which is my favorite but would love to get at least one to try on the next time I get to lounge by a pool.  *Sigh*  If only I could find a pool nearby!

White Hot Summer

The mercury is rising and so is the humidity.  It must be summer in DC!

I love the look of an all white outfit for summer.  Look at how the celebrities below wear their summer whites.  You can pair white with black, brown, navy, metallic or nude accessories and you're coordinated for a summer outing!

Check out the outfits I replicated below.  Instead of using black accessories like Kat Sadler in the bottom left picture, I used brown accessories to soften the look.  Add in a pop of color with neon under that blazer and you're good to go!  While wearing all white is hot this summer, it is always a classic summer outfit for me.

What do you think of all-white in the summer?  Is it a do or would you rather not bother with the cleaning bills?  I think it's completely worth it!
