Hello Hauteness

Hi everybody.  I’m recovering from a mini Summer bug and preparing for a long Labor Day Weekend in NYC so my blogging will be a bit slow this week.  I’ll make up for it with lots of pics from the Big Apple and hopefully an epic story or two to share with you next week.

In the meantime, I feel just good enough to give my feedback from the Emmy Awards last night…

1. Navy blue was a big trend.  Considering I’ve been OBSESSED with navy lately, I was thrilled to see so much of it on the red carpet.
2. Natural, almost messy hair was all over the place.  There was little gel to be found amongst the glamazons that attended.  From Claire Danes loose locks to Christina Hicks’ gorgeous red curls, hairstylists let natural beauty reighn last night.
3. As always, black was everywhere.  Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum, Kathy Griffin, and Kate Gosselin (why was she there?) all kept it basic with the color that everyone, male or female, looks good in.
4. Who needs two straps when you can look fab in one?!  One shouldered gowns were a close second to the usual strapless gowns this year.  That’s sayin’ something!
5. Jewelry was minimal.  Lea Michele showed off a dazzling necklace, Kim Kardashian rocked some bracelets with her grecian white, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ turquoise earrings took attention away from her black gown, but aside from that I don’t remember many accessories from last night.  I guess this really is the year of “less is more”.
6. The handsome men on the red carpet apparently didn’t get my memo on the hotness that is the bow tie look.  Stephen Moyer, Cory Monteith, and Peter Facinelli all rocked regular ties.
7. Best dressed came down to two women for me:  Glee’s Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta and an Armani Prive clad Claire Danes blew me away last night.  Well done!
