It’s the biggest night in fashion of the year and for the past four years, we have been covering the annual Met Gala. This year’s theme was Punk: Chaos to Couture and the celebrities did it well. Here – Dakota Fanning looks phenomenal in Rodarte.

So we’re a little overdue for a recap post on the CFDA Fashion Awards, but I didn’t want to go on without making a post about it. Every year some of the greatest designers are highlighted along with the best in fashion and some of the most beautiful gowns. Enjoy!

When you’re a small child, anything you wear is going to look adorable and cute. However, when I see a kid taking it a little bit further by being extremely fashion forward…? Well, that just tugs at the heart strings like you wouldn’t even imagine. The wonderful and talented designer, Diane Von Fursterberg, has just collaborated with Gap Kids and Baby Gap on one incredible collection that is so darling!

I absolutely love this gown on her. It’s so refreshing to see her not wearing black for once since most of her press outfits and even gowns on the red carpet recently have been black.

I spent most of the day watching the red carpet special for the Academy Awards yesterday as E! decided to start it around one if not sooner. Unfortunately, thirty minutes into the show, I decided to give up on watching it to spend my time with some great company. It’s alright – the red carpet is usually the main priority for me…that was until Ashley sent me a text that said, “We could have easily made tonight a drinking game,” which meant that I was missing a whole lot of highlights from the show.
I suppose I can just read about the rest of the stuff that happened during the show. I did, however, witness Sacha Baron Cohen as the Dictator dump Bisquick all over Ryan Seacrest’s Burberry suit. Just watching him trying to contain his anger over the situation was entertaining enough.
And with that, let’s get into some red carpet looks!
A new series of posters were recently released featuring some of our favorite designers and the infamous words that have come straight out of their mouths. Designers include Karl Lagerfeld, Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs and many more.
Need to have these framed and in my closet now please.

Now that she’s back on television with her new series Hart of Dixie, Rachel has been seen in the spotlight more frequently. Let’s take a look back at her winning outfits! She’s really come a long way, hasn’t she?
Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos will be making their return to the Northwest next Saturday to meet their fans and to draw them quick portraits! Sam is a huge fan of sketching and even launched the blawg “Numerous Drawings” to showcase some of his work. Here is his most recent one:
Check out the rest here.
On another fun note, Diane von Furstenberg will also be in town this Wednesday at Bellevue’s Nordstrom from 2-4PM to promote her new fragrance. In order to meet the designer, you have to buy a bottle of it. No buy no meet. But c’mon it’s Diane von Furstenberg! Just do it.

There was an unbelievable amount of love for Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney at this year’s 2011 Met Ball. I think out of all the Met Ball’s I have seen, this one has provided the most looks that I have fallen in love with. Well done everyone.
This year’s theme was in tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen as the museum debuted a new exhibition in his name. Since there were so many attendees this year, I decided to post only my favorite looks (and a few others) – don’t worry, it’s still pretty image heavy!
Where was Camilla Belle this year?
