Best Dressed SAG: Sofia Vergara

Best: Sofia Vergara After a rocky red carpet start one year ago, Sofia Vergara has been nearly flawless on a string of carpets, culminating in this best yet blue Cavalli.

People may disagree but I thought she looked happy and comfortable and curvy. I am a huge fan of Modern Family and she seems like a genuinely nice and funny woman. Ahhh.

Emma Stone

OMG I could hardly recognize Emma Stone at the Golden Globes. I didn’t realize how long and lean she was. Has she lost a ton of weight? I also really liked her as a blonde. Also, those of you who read this blog often know how partial I am to an open back. Lovely. I’m very much looking forward to seeing her performance in “The Help” as well.

Wedding Inspiration {Ana Meier}

Vogue Daily — The Meier family home in the Hamptons

Ana Meier’s minimalist wedding in East Hampton, NY.

The story from Vogue, below:

“Ana Meier, daughter of legendary architect Richard Meier, has inherited the minimalist gene. The 29-year-old furniture designer loves clean lines and everything white, which comes in handy at a wedding. On Saturday, Meier wed realtor Daniel Creighton, 30, at the Meier family home in East Hampton, New York, in what began in the early planning stages as “a little ceremony on the lawn,” but over the course of nine months assumed the proportions of a mini-blockbuster. In charge of overseeing every last detail of the proceedings was Meier’s father, who designed the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, but joked that those projects and others of similarly iconic scope “were nothing compared to this wedding. It was quite an undertaking. Now I can get back to my work.”

The sun-dappled celebration unfolded gracefully as guests arrived at 4:00 p.m., greeted with punch, iced tea and a six-piece classical ensemble playing classic rock songs (Queen’s “Somebody To Love”). In a clearing between tall oak trees, the wedding party walked along the rolling green lawn to Pachelbel’s Canon. “It’s perfection,” noted Calvin Klein, a neighbor in East Hampton and a resident in a Meier building in New York’s West Village. “Ana’s dress is perfect in its simplicity.” Sipping sparkling water further up the lawn, the designer of said double-silk column dress, Francisco Costa, the creative director for womenswear at Calvin Klein, revealed that the bride considered three different whites—ivory, white, and optic white—before settling on the medium shade. “She knew exactly what she wanted,” Costa said. “It was a collaboration.” Translation: It took six fittings to get the scoop back, chain-stitch seams, and draping just right.

Cocktails and a family-style dinner for 250 were served in a Meier-designed clear tent hung with semi-sheer white linen fabric panels that softened the angles and created a flattering light. Guests, including Frank Stella, Carl Icahn, andSandy Gallin, sat at three long tables covered in Belgian linen, candles of different sizes, and local white flowers—Queen Anne’s lace, snow roses, and dahlias. After a dinner of lamb chops, chicken, and sweet Italian sausage, the best man gave a typically teasing speech. (“Ana, you have truly classed Daniel up a bit. I don’t think I’ve seen him in an Adidas tracksuit since he’s known you”) and a rousing cover band entertained with a set list that started things off with general crowd-pleasers (“Dancing in the Street”, “At Last”). As the evening progressed, Ana, now wearing a second Calvin Klein creation for the reception, this one an ivory silk-chiffon V-neck dress, and her guests danced into the night.” –Vogue

 

ODLR 1979

 Oscar de la Renta dresses, 1979 photo: W: The Designing Life, 1987

This is vintage ODLR from 1979 featured in W: The Designing Life, 1987 and found via OscarPRGirl. I love everything about this photo from the dresses to the shoes to the backward locket to the girls to the dock.

I hope you’re having a good week. I’m finally feeling like myself again.

Grey Dog – A Must-See

I have been hearing SO MUCH about the Grey Dog vintage boutique housed in a little 1973 Airstream trailer. The teeny mobile holds a wealth of vintage dresses (all tailored to a modern fit), baubles, sunglasses & more. I finally went last week and it was better than I could have imagined. The owner, Molly has a keen eye for items that the trend conscious will enjoy just as much as the vintage-enthusiast. There are new options almost every week and they’re all very reasonably priced. There’s even a mini-fitting room! A must-visit for any stylish Fayetteville girl-about-town!

Currently located on the corner of trenton and college avenue (across from the new skating rink)
