my emmy likes and dislikes

everyone has their best and worst emmy ensembles and i'm no different! the main reason i watch award shows is for the fashion. and then of course watch fashion police judge everyone in joan rivers's biting style. :)

so many people looked fabulous.  here are my likes: 

Elizabeth Moss - I love the print, the cut, and the hair goes perfect with it. Who knew she had it in her?

Morena Baccarin - She's so beautiful and the dress is so unique. Love it and love her!

Julianne Moore - Such a cool choice. Great color, great cut, suits her age - this is AWESOME!

Leslie Mann - At first glance, I was thinking "ehh...", but then I looked a little more and realized I loved it!

Allison Williams - I'm loving this perfect combo of sexy and classy.  Just like her character on Girls!

of course, not everyone looked so hot. here are my dislikes:

Connie Britton - She's so cute.. but no. Doesn't fit well, tacky looking.. probably the worst I saw.  It ages her and she's beautiful so that doesn't need to happen.  Come on, Connie!

Ashley Judd - Ashley, you're so beautiful. The dress, the hair - WHY?!

Lena Dunham - The hair is so cute.  I think I get where she was going with this dress, but unfortunately it's just too overwhelming.  Maybe as a short dress?

Lucy Liu - She is so beautiful, it can't be that hard for her to look good.  And yet she makes things complicated by wearing this uncomfortable disco ball looking dress.  It's not horrible, but it's not good either.

quick request

lindsay and i are super excited that our "likes" on facebook have been increasing and feeling pretty pumped about all the support. it's been great getting our friends involved and hearing about all of your suggestions. PLEASE keep them coming, and we will do our best to write the posts that you want to read. i've definitely been slacking on working on those, but it's only because we are planning for some major blog changes!

and because we know how hot all of you are, we would love it if you could send us pictures of fashion trends as worn by yourselves, your friends, your family members, your neighbors, your pets, or the people you stalk. this way we can give you guys celebrity examples of trends plus regular (normal?) people examples.

as an example, here's lindsay in a red peplum dress and charlize theron in a red peplum dress:

leather skirts, please.

i love, love, love the leather skirts that are in style right now.  let's face it, leather just looks cool.  it will go with a lot and it is instantly stands out.  it basically says "i wear what i want" to the world.  wear it with white and you'll be wearing two fall trends.  pretty easy! go faux to save on costs and be kind to our animal friends.

there are so many cuts you can wear to suit your comfort level.  if you're afraid that leather is too tight on your curves, look no further than curvy celebs like kim kardashian who definitely pull this off!  (side note:  you should probably not allow your significant other to weather matching leather pants when you do this - i'm talking to you, kanye).  the point is you should show off those curves but if not...you can always try a looser cut (skater or a-line), which will look just as cool.
