Just had to add my two cents...Emmy Red Carpet

Okay so, I am no fashion red carpet glam queen ,but I feel with the years of experience I have had in the industry, I just could NOT keep my big mouth shut on my thoughts of some of the celebs...

Like the celebs below... What were they thinking and who styled them? Fire your stylist!

 What was the stylist thinking? Of Zosia Mamet's boobs?  That is seriously all you notice and the poor thing is just smiling thinking everyone is looking at me I must look fantastic!

 

 

 Julianne Hough, you are too pretty and this does absolutely nothing for you. It looked great on the catwalk, but on you? No way.

 

 

 As much I think Julianna Margulies is absolutely gorgeous, what was YOUR stylist thinking too? That color does nothing for you, yes you have black hair and you could probably pull it off, but it blends into you skin tone and washes you way out girl. But I love you!

 

 

Oh boy...so a pop of color is in, yes that is true, but wow...that is all you notice...where did the rest of you go? Does your stylist not know about colors and what works for your skin tones? sorry Anna Faris

Wow first of all, it does not fit correctly around the hips, secondly, she does look like she is ready to film a sequel to Star Wars, but I thought there were no sequels. sorry, but you did not make the cut.

 

 

 

 

So the next celebs are just plain boring. Flat out boring. They are gorgeous but boring...

 

 

 

 Uh.. this looks close to a maid of honors dress, but with not bling. Ms. Allison Wilson you are too damn pretty to be mediocre...show off your figure for Pete sakes!

 

 

 Zoey, Zoey, Zoey...your stylist got the color right but, this is way too stuffy for you and your personality. Yes, you look beautiful, cuz you could wear a sack and look gorgeous, but really?

 

 

 

 

 Carrie, this is a striking color purple, very regal as you are, but honey...this dress looks like a boring Prom dress, you too have an amazing figure...where it go?

 

 

 

Emily, hate to tell ya girl, but you look like the Mother of the Bride, not a young and vibrant actress that you are.... Fire your stylist!

 

 

Now the next ones...Some good, some not so good....

 

 Mindy Kaling was stunning! You rocked it girl and you obviously have a great stylist...keep her.

 

 

 

Maria...great body...nice color...you were a hit... you hot momma you! Classy.

 

 

 

 Lena Heady, not liken the white shoes...red maybe...but white? Buuuuut the dress? I liked it... not everyone could pull that off, but I think you did! Nice job!

 

 

 

Paula...where did the boobs go? the color? ugly, the bow? ugly. the huge spread between the chest" wrong. Face and hair...beautiful!

 

 

 

 

So, like I said, I am not the fashion police...just my personal

red carpet opinion...take or leave it.

Last Call....

Okay so yesterday's designer's in my book kinda missed the mark. Sorry folks I'm just being real...at least for us 40+. I'll show you some of my favs for the day and see what you think!
First up...

Rachel Zoe

She was my favorite! Love her collections! Like I could see myself pretty much wearing any number of her pieces from day to night such a  "go-to" line! She gave us effortless chic...I love it! So here are my loves~

 
 



Okay next up...

Michael Kors

A designer after every woman's heart..."To believe you can be sexy and sporty at the same time."
That's what I'm talkin about! Loved the palazzo pants with unexpected bar top pairings, but we did see a lot of this on the catwalk this week! Wow! Does that mean its okay for the 40+ to wear these kinds of ensembles too? I don't know... go for it girl! If you've got it and you can pull it off in a classy way then "work it" girl!
Anyway back to MK, his line spoke of feminine, soft tones with just a hint of  edginess! Love it!

 

 

 

Last, but certainly not the least of my favs....cuz I adore Marc, so you could say I saved the BEST for last, hahaha!

 

Marc by Marc Jacobs

 

 

What comes to mind is preppy menswear inspired with matching sneakers as a finishing touch. Then he mixes it up with  slouchy suit ensembles that made it a bit more "grown-up", if you changed the sneakers for some slinky Jimmy Choo  you've just turned from geek to chic! Viola dauling!

A Virgin Blogger at its finest....

Okay so I feel like such a "virgin" at this blogging thing and don't feel like I have found my niche as far as deliverance... I will get it I promise, hahaha! Like I want to speak natural to you and just let my words flow and they aren't so bare with me folks!!!
On another note... I was thinking last night as I lay awake as usual around 3:15 am about fashion and what comes to mind. Being that we are in Fashion Week NY I thought, "Wow, you know every day when you get up and decide what to wear for that day, and you leave for what ever your life takes you, you essentially are doing your own "catwalk"?" Everyday... you make a decision based on what you are doing, how you are feeling, what statement you want to convey to the world and then you do your "Catwalk" for the day with what you chose to wear. Its weird when you think about it! We get so excited to see what each designer has created, how they present their collections, the vibe, the audiences response etc.... And yet we do it EVERY day!
Women on the whole dress for women...I have to say I used to be that way... it was kinda like a competition like scenario, like I look better than you type thing. (I don't know why that is, but I think it is just in our nature to do so...maybe it was to be more attractive for the male species at one time and then it evolved into competition). Anyway, I really do honestly dress for my self. At my age, I don't give a "shit" what you are wearing in comparison to what I am...no offense, really!
I wear what I want to because I genuinely have a love for fashion. I do wish I had bucks so I could wear the Chanel, Moschino, Dior, Versace etc., but I do with what I can to be true to my fashion sense.
Like my blog name says... this is 'The Evolving Closet'...we are always evolving into a better "you"...and so are our closets!
