Consider this a duo post. Because the above look also wins look of the day. Aside from that it also comes from my favorite collection of Paris Fashion Week, Elie Saab Couture Spring 2010.

WWD considers it sugary – and I couldn’t have said it better myself.
More looks below. (more…)

I noticed a trend on the red carpet: side swept hair. And then I realized something. You can rarely go wrong with this hairstyle. It’s soft, feminine…casual enough enough to wear to dinner or formal enough to wear on the red carpet. And while it’s been around for some time, it’s managed to stay modern.More looks below. (more…)
