Alexis Bittar

His collection of lucite and metal jewelry has always been a favorite of mine. Gift yourself or someone special at 20% off.

Michael Aram

Saving 25% on some of the most stylish home goods around is always fun. The above is from the new Safari collection. The candles make the loveliest gifts. Well, it all does.

Shoes

Nothing is more fun than visiting the Saks 5th Avenue Store in NYC and shopping their selections. It's almost overwhelming, in the best of ways. Today you can save 25% on Stuart Weitzman, Coach, Cole Haan, Schutz, and so many more.

Lafco NY Home Scents

You will love these clean burning candles. The scents are fabulous! Think Magnolia, Sea & Dune, Cilantro & Orange and many more unique fragrances. I love the candle containers!

Cinq a Sept

If you haven't tried this brand I highly recommend the blazers. I love my Khloe style in black crepe. May have to venture out into a color for spring.

The Laundress

By now, I think you know of my love affair with this brand of cleaning products. This is the time to try them at 25% off with free shipping!

Handbags

Sure Saks carries all of the "it bags and brands," but they also feature brands like Gigi New York, Botkier, Coach.  and Nancy Gonzales. Save 25% on so many new Spring arrivals.

Evening Wear

If you have a spring soiree coming up, now would be a smart time to shop for your look. Save on brands like Marchesa Notte, Theia, Badgley Mischka, Halston, just to name a few.  

Dear Annabelle

Having discovered this brand last year, I am excited to see that Saks carries them. Their stationery styles are so whimsical, modern, and ever so stylish. I appreciate the ability to save 25%!

Red Carpet Trends From The Golden Globes

{ Via: }

After last year's #MeToo fashion blackout, Hollywood's biggest stars really brought the fashion hits to the 76th Golden Globes.  From Lady Gaga's sweeping lilac Valentino to Rachel Brosnahan's marigold Prada gown, the stars shined bright Sunday night. More than color, I loved the fashion details.  Today's post features four trends to love: Nude Tulle, Off The Shoulder with Long Sleeves, Leopard Print, and Pants. Here's how to get the red carpet looks in our own lives.

Tulle

Constance WU in Vera Wang

All of the fashion police and I agree that this was a winning look on Constance. The dreamy color matched her skin tone so well. The pop of color in the sash and the tulle skirt with pockets were fun. And now you can own this 
confection, too.


Vera Wang Ceres
One of the very few gowns from the Globes that can be yours. Pre-order now for delivery 8 months from order date. It's wonderful!
Moda Operandi

Vera Wang Maria Theresa
A bit bridal, but also a knockout for your own red carpet moment.
Moda Operandi

Alex Perry Lovell
In this case, the pop of color is dramatic black! Sold exclusively at 
Net-A-Porter

~ Off The Shoulder ~

Allison Janney in Christian Siriano
Allison is 59 years old. Her gown was a fabulous look for women over 50.  Our shoulders never age and just might be the thinnest part of our bodies. It's been a signature look of mine for years. Long sleeves are always elegant, and covers troubled arms. I loved her look though that color was not my favorite against the 
red carpet.

Christian Siriano Gown
With a sweetheart bustier, neckline and a bodice draped cape, this look really makes a statement, on or off the red carpet.
Moda Operandi

Marchesa Lace Off Shoulder Fit And Flare Gown
So loving this dress. It could be a contender for my Mother of the bride look.
Moda Operandi

Rickie Freeman for Teri Jon
Velvet Gown
I saw some velvet last evening. But the story here is that deep rich jewel tone color, the off the shoulder look and the long sleeves. It's all very alluring and on sale at a 
bargain price.
Neiman Marcus

~ Leopard ~

Anne Hathaway in Elie Saab
In my opinions, Anne was the biggest risk taker of the evening. I think she pulled off the spotted look with great aplomb. Though leopard print is now not only considered a classic, it's not often seen in formal wear. Let's see what I can find for the rest of us.  

Rachel Zoe Snow Leopard
Sequin Gown
Layered with luxe sequins, so that all eyes will be on you.
Bloomingdale's or Shop Rachel Zoe

Prada Satin And Leopard Brocade Gown
Straight from the Resort 2019 Collection. This is one wild yet elegant gown. The green adds the glam. Click the photo or link below to see the rest of the peek-a-boo details 
on the runway.
Matches Fashion

Petar Petrov Leopard-Print 
Silk-Crepe Dress
Everything about this dress makes a statement. From the asymmetrical hem, the pee-a-boo back and sleeves, to the fluid drape of the dress...it's all so good.
Moda Operandi

~ Pants ~

Julia Roberts in a Pantsuit
Doesn't Julia just make your smile? She always appears to be authentically herself, and almost self conscious. She upped her game in the most chic pantsuit by Stella McCartney. It was both glam and sophisticated. 

Dundas Sequin Wide Leg 
Jumpsuit & Jacket
Talk about shining style! This outfit should have been at the Globes.
Moda Operandi

Christian Siriano One Shoulder Sash Jumpsuit
As featured in the Pre-Fall lookbook, this jumpsuit brings on the drama!
Moda Operandi

Alexis Sequin Jacket & Pants
Oh how fabulous, and not as expensive as it looks. I would wear this outfit in a heartbeat.

AND THE WINNER WORE BLACK......

{ Via Vogue }

The carpet was red and the guests wore black at the 75th Golden Globes. There was so many dramatic dresses, and Kendall Jenners's ( see above )was one of my favorites. Surrounding the glitz and grandeur was a strong message that shed light on victims of sexual assault and racial or gender inequality. I found the entire evening to be inspirational and exceptionally well done. For me, wearing black is always in style. So if you feel the same, here's a roundup of red-carpet worthy looks.
