Spring Time = Party Time

Now that spring is here and the warm weather is slowly starting to appear, I'm getting more and more excited to go out and do more things and my schedule is also reflecting this. With this in mind, I need some new clothing options as well. So when all else fails, I go to Polyvore and play around with some options.

First on the agenda is some running around for birthday gifts for my friends and family. These next two months are very busy in the birthday department with two very close friends at the end of this month and a niece's next month.

Remembering Hollywood Glamour

So much to do, so little done, such things to be.

When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't tomorrow.

It is strange that the years teach us patience; that the shorter our time, the greater our capacity for waiting.

I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive.

If someone's dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I'm certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.

I adore wearing gems, but not because they are mine. You can't possess radiance, you can only admire it.

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

Everything makes me nervous - except making film.

Fashion Fashion!

This past week was New York Fashion Week, showcasing fall 2011. There were a lot of amazing colours, fabric and silhouettes.

Max Azria's line for BCBG had great pieces that you could layer, as well as mix and match. The main idea worked with silk dresses layered with sheer turtlenecks and knee high stacked heeled boots. Over all there were clean lines and bold colours and very minimal line. The only concerning question for this collection is that are customers ready for the sleek minimal style yet again? I myself love the line and the simplicity of it. It's just a matter of time to see if everyone else is on board.

Dramatic dresses with feathers were back again courtesy of Jason Wu. He had yet another amazing show with great tailoring and lots of lace. The collection had a nice romantic feel with ladylike dresses and amazing gowns.

Of course to kick of ffashion week was the always charming Christian Siriano. He had a great show with some awesome cocktail dresses and gowns. The models seemed to be having some troubles walking the runway that day though. There was a great dresses and colours with lovely olive greens.

And how can we not talk about Mr. Isaac Mizrahi with his sugary fun filled show. Poodles walked alongside the models and were dyed to match the dresses along with beautiful cakes that also followed in suit with the dresses. There were bright bold colours and amazing structured dresses and clothes.

It was an amazing week to be had by all and now we will be moving on to London next to continue with fashion month!

SAG Awards 2011

Last weekend was the Screen Actors Guild awards, or better known as the SAG awards. There were tons of great winners and more important, tons of great fashion. Starting with Natalie Portman in Azzaro and Tiffany's jewelry.

Now the next big thing will be the Oscars and the start of New York Fashion Week! I'm rather excited to see the next new trends for the coming seasons.
