Cocktail Dress
Are Cocktail Dresses Awards Show Appropriate?
When you think of awards ceremonies, you think of decadent, extravagant dresses. Lately even Hollywood A-listers are showing up in cocktail frocks. Last night on the Grammys red carpet legs were an accessory but how do you feel about this?
Fab Read: The Cocktail Dress
Now that I think about it, I have countless cocktail dresses. What made me realize this was a flip through The Cocktail Dress by Laird Borrelli-Persson ($15). The senior features editor at Style.com, and fellow FIT grad, elucidates the importance of the not-so-simple item of clothing in a perfectly compact ode to.
Love It or Hate It? BCBG Open Back Cocktail Dress
The retailer that sells this BCBG Open Back Cocktail Dress ($298) describes it as sexy, and that certainly isn't a lie. Observe — it has an open back, open sides, and a keyhole in the middle. The color is gorgeous and the draping lavish, but I would have liked it more if the sides were covered.
Prabal Gurung New York Fashion Week: What’s Fab First Look
Fashion’s hottest newcomer and Fashion Week first-timer Prabal Gurung had his work cut out for him with Anna Wintour, Zoe Saldana, and Rachel Zoe all sitting front row. Prabal took us from architectural, color-blocked coats to stunning cocktail dresses with puff shoulders and backless gowns with cascading ruffles. Oh la la!
Trend Alert: Blue-Hued Arm Candy
Wherever Iman goes, I follow. The model muse attended a Diane von Furstenberg event in a fresh DVF Josun Dress in Miranda Ruffles Green ($473, originally $675). Then, she layered on a black leather jacket and blue-hued arm candy — MCL by Matthew Campbell Laurenza bangles and a two-tone cocktail ring.

Vegetable Cocktails: A Pretty Spring Party Snack
At a recent wine tasting, I went off in search of the snack table in between sips. I was disappointed by the lack of cheese (how can any event serve crackers and no cheese?!) but totally inspired by a colorful spread of what I'll call "vegetable cocktails."
On the table were rows of stylish, V-shaped cocktail glasses.
Learn to Love: Passion Fruit
Growing up in Hawaii, I was sort of spoiled. In my backyard we had papaya, avocado, coconut, and passion fruit trees. The best part?
Oscars Style: Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried looked angelic and almost bridal in her beaded strapless Armani Prive dress at the 2010 Oscars in Los Angeles. She kept the focus on her dress by adding only thick cuff bracelets, diamond earrings, and a cocktail ring to her ensemble. Although her dress isn't available online, check out this one by Carmen Marc Valvo for a similar feel!
Cocktail Time With Sandra Lee
One the events I was most excited about attending last weekend at the South Beach Wine and Food Festival was a happy hour hosted by Sandra Lee. It wasn't the hostess that I was anticipating, however, but the location: late fashion designer Gianni Versace's villa, Casa Casuarina. The party went from 5 to 7 on Saturday, and upon arrival, I was grossly disappointed.
