Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda {Spring 2014}

Dolce & Gabbana do couture a little differently than the rest. Only a small number of editors are invited to the show. Rather, the audience is filled with friends and their client of the top-spending variety. And more surprisingly, no celebrities will be wearing these pieces come Oscar night. The couture pieces are true to their name, one-of-a-kind, and works on a first-come, first-served basis.

This is only the house’s 4th couture collection,  the inspiration behind which was to turn women into living pieces of art. After negotiations with some international museums to secure the rights, literal replications of Van Gogh’s sunflowers, Manet’s white lilacs, Redon’s anemones, a Klimt sunflower, and Renoir works, were all seen throughout the collection.

Each piece was more magical than the last, creating a beautiful world full of unique florals, grandiose ballgown silhouettes of tulle, and elaborate headpieces.

Cate does it Again!

She is constantly on our best dressed list, and here she is again. Cate Blanchett once again chose Givenchy to wear to the 3rd Annual AACTA Awards in Australia. {Previously she wore this Givenchy gown to the SAG Awards.} Hopefully you weren’t in need in sequins this week, Cate had the monopoly on them! The glitz paired with the plunging neckline, created for quite the daring look, which paid off! We are in awe!

I can’t wait for the OSCARS!

Get Jessica’s Easy/Edgy look {for less!}

Jessica Alba has such fantastic street style! I love this look with the varying hues of blue, edgy yet feminine. She created a perfect silhouette, voluminous on top, and keeping the bottom slim with a great pair of skinnies.

Joan Smalls in Givenchy Floral

Last week in Paris Joan Small was spotted wearing this fabulous Givenchy floral moto jacket. I cannot seem to get enough of the Givenchy florals! {which seem to be popping up everywhere}

 

GIVENCHY Rose Print Moto Jacket

 

Smalls paired this floral moto with a pair of Paige Edgemont mid-rise skinny jeans:

Beauty + Hair at the Grammys

Sunday night’s award show brought out some of the most fantastic red carpet fashion we have ever seen at the Grammys. And right along side the fashion was the incredible beauty and hair completing the looks.

{Click any image below to launch slideshow + for details}

Kelly Osbourne finds the perfect lip color to complement her lilac hair. We suspect it may be from the MAC collection due out later this year.

Miranda Lambert sported the red lip for the red carpet. This statement lip was created with Tarte LipSurgence in Lust. Paired with her retro curls, it made for a glam look!

Anna Kendrick was chanelling Veronica Lake at Sunday’s awards. Her full on retro waves and glam cat eye to complete the look.

Ciara looked absolutely stunning with her Pucci covered baby bump. Her stunning faux bob hairstyle and stunning nude lips completed the look to perfection.

Lorde went full on vamp at the Grammys. Wanna know how to get this vampy lip? Start with MAC Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Vino and then layer on MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Heroin and Cyber.

Rita Ora rocking purple on her lids, with a soft pink lip.

Sarah Hyland went classic with a shimmery red lip and dark neutral eyes. Loving her eyebrows – thick and well defined. She went with an easy swept up look for her hair.

Taylor Swift went pony tail on the red carpet. This was of course before her head-banging piano performance. This look is youthful and elegant, paired with the blue eyeshadow, is a complete hit!

Beyoncé’s Hair on Sunday is being called Beyombré, I love this chopped look on her, plus the grey smoky eye and vampy, dark lip! Stay you, Bey!
