Rainy Day in L.A.

This rainy Sunday marks the semi-official start of the 2010 glam season out west, so let's have a little red carpet revelry for the Golden Globes! It's oh so easy to judge from the comfort of the leather recliner, decked out in my skinny jeans, Marmot vest, J. Crew cashmere and Fuggs (that's faux Uggs to you cave dwellers - and yes, they are my house shoes). With preliminary results now in, here are my top vote-getters for best and absolute worst:

Best-dressed Man - Jon Hamm

Sexiest. Man. Alive. Hands down. (I cannot find a photo that isn't in flash, stay tuned...)

Best-dressed Woman - Marion Cotillard

J'adore Marion et j'adore Dior.

Honorable Mentions

Emily Blunt - Her fashion education in the Devil Wears Prada is still paying off. Gorge in pink layers.

Jeanne Tripplehorn - Basic black, classic and sophisticated.

Worst-dressed Woman - Mariah Carey

I love Herve Leger as much as the next girl, but please cover your boobs. The whole mystique of the Leger dress is how bandages cover your body parts and leave a little mystery as to what's below. Ugh. (I'm not showing a picture, no one should be rewarded for that.)

Watch for spring trends to follow what you're seeing here folks - ruffles redux, jewel tones, peachy pinks and metallics will be everywhere! Use most of these with caution, please.

Rose Colored Glasses

After perusing the Neiman Marcus fall catalog, it is apparent the world will be looking at things through rose colored glasses this fall. What better way to see things when the economy is down?

To get your rose on, try Tom Ford's sunglasses in a super burgundy tint. Or, try on a romantic and ruffled blouse inspired by your favorite flowers. Expanding beyond rose, other jewel tones will be all over - purples, greens, royal blues. It's time to try on some color and think beyond basic black - that goes for me too!
