FCUK IT

How could I forget? While checking out the new Rachel by Rachel Roy collection in Macy's a few weeks ago I continued to browse the floor and found a black dress with zipper detail and a slight hang in the middle back area. This dress fit like someone came, took my measurements and sewed it on to my body. Who made this amazing ensemble, perfect in length, color, and cut? French Connection of course. I will be honest, I have been wearing this brand since my playground days and as an young fashionista and rarely associate French Connection with sexy going out attire. I think of my tshirts that say "To busy to FCUK", Cool as FCUK, or my favorite "FCUK the DJ". (Don't ask lol) However, boy was I in for a treat! French Connection has some great pieces, I am truly in love, and I will be back for more. The collection of dresses being my favorite, have a look for yourself.

Matthew Williamson London Fashion Week Spring 2010

Dear Matthew Williamson, (whom I affectionately refer to as Mat-Man)

                                               The fashion Gods have surely sent you to rescue me from continuous boredom. In another lifetime it is possible that we were twins because you clearly know me, my style, favorite color, and fabric combinations. Your Spring 2010 collection has rescued me from a sea of uniform fashions and I just wanted to say thank you. Some critics say your collection gave your glimpses of the old clubbing in Ibiza and Mat Man, I say that sounds like a blast to me. 

Thanks and Bye- Your Twin, 

Sari xoxo (Give me Fashion or Give me Death)

2009 Emmy Awards Red Carpet Delicious-ness

With this years Emmy Awards falling so close to the end of New York fashion week I was expecting to see more of 2010's upcoming trends displayed on the red carpet. While most stars kept it traditional with black, gold, and soft neutral colored gowns with classic draping, gathering, and Grecian details. I was however able to spot some immediate trends influences.

The first and maybe the largest trend I saw on the red carpet, was the one shoulder trend. Debra Messing is actually wearing two of the trends I spotted on the red carpet, the one shoulder detail as well as the red dress which we will get into later. Also notice the draping gather detail I mentioned earlier. Also seen below on Carrie Preston and Sigourney Weaver. Classic cuts with emphasis on the waist.

More shoulders baring it all.... All shades of red were a huge hit on the red carpet. From plunging necklines to crystal embellishment. One shoulder, off the shoulder, and complete with short sleeves.

Classic black will always be a safe choice at Prime time events. Still with shoulders being the sexy elegant focal point.

Other color trends included, an ocean of blues and shades of plum. Necklaces took a back seat as drop and chandelier earrings, bracelets, and baguette clutch bag helped to accessorize gown and give the extra over the top glamour.

My pick of the night would be Olivia Wilde.Her mint green chiffon embroidered Marchesa Spring 2010 gown with an illusion panel on the bodice is to die for! Great Choice of hair makeup gown and jewels!

Road to Rodarte Spring 2010

Rodarte, was my very favorite Spring 2010 show. I mean they came ready to go to war and come out with detached heads! Described as a baroque world complete with dry ice and black grit. Think, knitwear draping printing and pastiche. Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte says “ We ruined everything” Style.com describes this collection as the apotheosis of the techniques, destroying everything painting, burned, shredding and sandpapering. . Fabrics including plastic macramé leather and crystals, as well as studded shoe collaboration with Nicholas Kirkwood. All inspired by a trip to Death Valley. Join us on the Journey! (tats included)
