And The Winners Are...

Last night was the 71st annual Golden Globe's and I, of course, began watching the red carpet arrivals two hours before the actual event. My immediate favorite was Margot Robbie from The Wolf of Wall Street in Gucci. Amy Adams was another favorite, because who doesn't love a good Valentino, color-block look? Lupita Nyong'o had a major fashion moment in a Ralph Lauren dress that included a cape. Cate Blanchett's Armani dress was simply stunning, but I don't know how I feel about the back... Leslie Mann's dress was the most gorgeous lace and peplum gown. It was classy and elegant and I adored it. Lastly, Elizabeth Moss went wild with a J. Mendel dress. 

Some other favorites include Emma Roberts in Lanvin and Kerry Washington in Balenciaga

Favorite Speeches: Jennifer Lawrence, Matthew McConaughey, Amy Poehler, Cate Blanchett 
Best Accessories: Jessica Chastain's necklace, Reese Witherspoon's earrings, Cate Blanchett's earrings
Oddities: Johnny Depp went blonde and Jennifer Lawrence's date was Nicholas Hoult

Sunlight



While all of yesterday's picks for "CC" could easily be my Friday Favorites, I have a complete new list for y'all!
+ This look -- for more on crop tops head over to The Style Scribe where Merritt shows us the cream of the crop (punny, I know)
+ Monochrome perfected by Miranda Kerr 
+ These Four Agreements 
+ This room is perfect. (butterfly rug!)
+ Intrigued by this brussel sprout recipe 
+ Can't stop listening to Thunder Clatter by Wild Cub 
+ Tibi's Early Spring collection -- particularly this dress and top. Oh and a leather dress too. 
+ Blair Eadie was on The Coveteur 
+ Cheetah Is The New Black got a makeover and I love it! Congrats Alicia! 
+ Decided that Proenza Schouler's PS1 bag is basically a briefcase and when I graduate and get a job I definitely need one. Right? I had this epiphany when I saw this photo. 
+ Lastly, the sun coming out and this cold weather leaving!

CC: Spring


With temperatures getting down to the low teens this week there's nothing I'm craving more than spring. 

+ The smell of fresh gardenia's is one of my favorite smells and this Diptique candle smells just like them. 
+ That grey Madewell tee would be perfect with either white jeans or light cutoffs. I recently got it in black for $15 (total steal). 
+ Loeffler Randall's resort collection is perfection. I'd love to get that tote for $395. 
+ Really loving clutches lately, more about them next week. 
+ Two words. Neon Aztec. This skirt by Nannette Lepore has my name written all over it. I'd pair it with a simple gray t-shirt. 
+ If you haven't already heard about Westward Leaning sunglasses they are Olivia Palermo's go-to. They only come in one style, the wayfarer, but feature different colors and textures. When purchased $10.00 goes to a specific cause. For example, the pair featured above goes to Reporters Without Borders. 
+ Bobbi Brown has perfected the palette and this one screams spring. 
+ Everyone needs a simple pair of dangly gold earrings and these Alexis Bittar ones are ideal. 
+ Tory Burch's fun printed shorts would be perfect for spring days and summer nights! 
+ Lastly, these Joie sandals are so pretty and can easily go with the majority of my wardrobe.
