Golden Globes Fashion


None of these glittering women went home with awards from the Golden Globes this year, but they didn't need shiny statues when their fashion choices beamed for them. Amongst the stars that wore metallics to the award ceremony, Emma Stone and Sienna Miller demonstrated the powerful impact from a small dose of shine. Stone wore a jumpsuit by Lanvin and Miller chose a metallic ornamented dress by Miu Miu. Other ladies like Dianne Kruger in Emilia Wickstead, and Julianne Moore in Givenchy, chose louder numbers.

What MATTERS: Metallics, whether styled as an accent or head to toe look, are timeless and appropriate for all ages. Just like the actresses above, go simple with makeup and accessories.

Itty-Bitty Bags

When I first saw Kate Spade's ad campaign featuring Anna Kendrick and their new Cedar Street Mini Maise design, I knew mini bags would soon be everywhere. These teeny treasures may be petit, but they pack tons of fun into a little design.

Mini bags add some punch and a pop of color to any outfit. Many of the mini bags are smaller versions of popular designer handbags. And owning both, the big sister and little sister, is almost too much fun. Even though these bags are small, their unusual size is striking- perfect for the gal that wants to stand out.

What MATTERS: Choose a fun color and where it everywhere, for all occasions. This is a decadent piece that reminds us fashion should be fun; don't worry about practicality.
