Red-Carpet Rockers

Awards season is in full swing and though it’s supposed to be about the films, we all know what really matters most: the dresses, naturally! Check out these 10 red-carpet-ready frocks, inspired by your favourite Golden Globes looks, to help you steal the scene at your next fête.  

Did you catch the Globes the other night? Who do you think won best-dressed?  I loved Kate Hudson (b/c I love Kate Hudson and I loved her choice) Thumbs down to Halle Berry (love her, her dress was super ug though...).  Thought Jessica Alba, Amy Adams, Kerry Washington and that American Idol/Smash girl killed it, too. Though of anyone, you'd think Dior Couture could have figured out how to make that dress fit Jessica Chastain, no? Such a shame - she looked beyond gorgeous otherwise...

I'll be wearing one of these dresses to my next red carpet event.  Wondering if my invite got lost in the mail? Commence thumb-twiddling...

Sequins Skirt Straight-Cut Dress, $59.99, Mango (inspired by Julianne Moore's graphic Tom Ford)

Karey Lace-Detail Evening Gown, $338, BCBG Maxazria (inspired by Jessica Chastain's Dior, with a better fit)

Green with Envy

So long, farewell, old burgundy.  I tried (really I did) but if I'm honest, we've had our fun and now I'm ready for a change.  Luckily, Pantone has declared pretty Emerald as the colour to covet in 2013.  They say it’s not easy being green, but wearing green? That’s a whole other story. The rich hue, said to promote balance and harmony will help you feel enlivened, elegant and positively renewed. Can’t think of a better way to kick off the new year!  Check out my top 10 emerald finds at iVillage.ca this week, guaranteed to make people (pun intended) green with envy. Soooo glad I decided to wear emerald for my headshot. Now if only I could take back that Puerto Rican haircut... (I'm still not over it)
