After writing about the color and styles I spotted at the Oscars on Sunday night, I of course spent most of Monday reading and watching what everyone else was saying about the “big night’s” fashion extravaganza.
Not to be too catty, but like most, I have to admit I’m just as interested in the looks that get “knocked” as I am with the ones that get “raves”.
One particular star whose style seemed to be in question was that of British actress Julie Christie. Ms. Christie, whose amazing good looks ( please beauty gods let me look like her when I’m 66! ) and stylish feminine tuxedo were fan favorites as she picked up the SAG award for Best Actress this past January.
Her Oscar fashion choice on the other hand, a cabernet colored ruched dress, pale pink chiffon long gloves and matching shoes was received with let’s just say- less warmth. (more…)

Behold one of the most flattering colors in the spectrum. From the lilacs we will see this Spring and Summer to the rich aubergines coming in Fall, purple is the sophisticated color of choice. Amethyst comes in varying shades, so it will fit nicely with the seasons and your taste. (more…)

Leave it to the make-up geniuses at Chanel to create yet another nail polish frenzy. Much like their “Noir” that was sold out everywhere in Fall 2006, they have followed up with “Blue Satin” a shade that is currently in such high demand it may take a bid on Ebay to score a bottle.
I wrote about seeing blue polish on the trend horizon last spring… now it’s the hot color du jour. I asked Kate about this trend and she said, “As we ushered in the new year many hues of blue from sky to navy were already appearing in home and fashion stores everywhere and buyers are scooping up items in this universally appealing color. Blue is also a popular color this year among car buyers, global color authority Pantone named blue their color of 2008 and Yves Klein blue is making a come back internationally. Is it any wonder that the blue nail color trend you saw beginning last Spring has found such a following? ” (more…)
