Does anyone out there remember the days of looking through Delia's catalogs in the middle of class? I had completely forgotten about Delia's, and then a couple of months ago I went to their website to see if they were still around and... THEY ARE! They have a lot of cute stuff too!I know I'm not in middle or high school, but I can't ignore their awesome prices for trendy things. Does anyone else still get Delia's catalogs or shop online? If so, what do you think?
Brian Reyes is one of my favorite designers out there right now. His 2009 collection embodies a lot of what I see myself creating. Foward-thinking simplicity and elegance! What do you think?
Here are some of my favorite looks from his Spring 2009 Collection...
I definitely remember standing in front of the mirror giving an awards speech when I was younger. I think I did it a couple of times, actually. Once for best actress and the other for best costume designer. haha! Has anyone else done that out there? Anyway, the women looked amazing last night! Who were your favorites? Here were mine...
Angelina Jolie - I love the simplicity of her Ellie Saab dress and green accents. I'm glad that she stayed true to her style, which most call boring. This is exquisite to me and though it is predictable because we no her style, it never fails!
Anne Hathaway - Man, she just blew me away last night. There was so much joy exuding from her on top of wearing an amazing Armani Prive dress! Some are saying she's too pale to wear that color, but I just think she looks and feels comfortable and beautiful which says so much!
Sarah Jessica Parker - I loved this Dior dress even though is was a bit too small for her and hair and makeup were a no go. The belt and bodice just make the dress. I couldn't tell, but apparently this dress is a pale green. Go figure...
What are your thoughts? Who were you disappointed in? I was disappointed in the Versace dress that Marissa Tomei wore. Thought the detail was insane, you could see loads of puckering on the coreset. I didn't love Natalie Portman's dress very much. Kate Winslet and Amy Adams could have done better. Click to see images from last night.
Project Runway has to be my favorite show. Yes, people, I like it better than LOST! Well, if you haven't heard of Eleven Minutes and you're a Project Runway fan you need to get your butt to the theater this weekend! Eleven Minutes is an idependent film made by the first Project Runway winner, Jay MCarroll, all about his journey post reality tv to becoming a ligit fashion designer. It's about his quest to show his creations at Bryant Park and have them picked up by some major buyers. See a full synoposis here. (Apparently, PR doesn't really help you).
For those that don't know me, JCrew is one of my all-time favorite stores. It embodies the all-american classic style that I love. It is simple, bright, casual, comfortable and well-made. I worked at JCrew for a couple of years, and though I didn't like being on my feet all day, I loved selling a brand that I am 100% behind. Well, my favorite store has started a new brand for the young college crowd, Madewell.
JCrew still feels old for me at times, but they still have a lot of basics and pieces that are fun. Well, now I have everything I want with Madewell. It is funky, classic and Americana in one. What do you think? I can't wait until they have an online store, and even better, a physical store here in Phoenix!
