The color. The print. The material. I don't know what part of this top I love more. This Grenada Palm Cami from J. Crew is perfection. Just looking at it makes me think about summer...*sigh*.

Worst Dressed at the 2009 SAG Awards




And now for the worst dressed...

Eva Longoria- wore this Jenny Packham dress...and I really wish she wouldn't have. The color is wonderful on her...but the dress looks like a bad bridesmaid dress from the late 80's. There is just too much fabric and volume in this dress...it swallows her petite frame.

Mickey Rourke- in Dolce & Gabbana. This is just a fright! I mean, did we really expect much from him when it came to fashion? No. But I did hope that he knew basic red carpet etiquette. Posing like Al Bundy while on the red carpet is just a no-no!!!

Emily Blunt- in Pamela Rolland. She looks so uncomfortable...like she couldn't move.


Who did you feel were the worst dressed???

Best Dressed at the 2009 SAG Awards




Overall most of the dresses at last night's SAG Awards were actually really nice. Let's talk about our favorites---

Kate Winslet- her Narciso Rodriguez dress looked so amazing on her. The color was so bold, and so perfect! The dress fit her like a glove and showed off her curves. She was the show stopper of the night!

America Ferrera- she wore Vera Wang. I love her in this black and tan design.

Evan Rachel Wood- I almost didnt recognize her in this Monique Lhuillier dress. She really looks quite lovely here.


Who did you think were the best dressed from the 2009 SAG Awards? Please share your thoughts with us!

Pick of the Day


This Envy in Emerald Dress from Mod Cloth is fresh in color, yet classic in style. We love the vintage feel of this dress! It has a pleated bib, ruffled trim, and sheer bodice which makes this look oh so charming. So grab one now...they won't be around for long!

Snapshots From Readers

Today we're featuring a look that was sent in by Diane Feghabo from Duluth, Georgia. Now I have to admit, I didn't think it was possible for anyone other than Carrie Bradshaw to wear a beaded dress while the sun is still out and look great...but Diane has proved me wrong! She looks fantastic! Pairing the dress with some bold pieces and wearing it all with some confidence makes her look like one fierce fashionista. Thanks for sending in your look Diane!!!

Brooklyn Industries in Portland

Brooklyn Industries has to be one of my favorite stores. Over the last few weeks I have been reading about how they are branching out to the west coast. Currently BKI has stores in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Chicago...but this will all change on February 12th when they open a new store in Portland, Oregon (in Nob Hill)!

From their website:

The retail location will double as an art space, where local artists will soon have the opportunity to showcase their work. Brooklyn Industries will first introduce the gallery space with an exhibit by international artist and Brooklyn Industries President Vahap Avsar.

Brooklyn Industries' Portland location will be a 3,000 square foot retail space with an art gallery. The gallery will house timely installations, paintings, photographs, and sculptures. The unique combination of art and retail will create a one-of-a-kind shopping experience that complements the creative foundation of the Brooklyn Industries brand.

If you would like to be on the exclusive mailing list for Portland Store opening events and promotions, please email pr@brooklynindustries.com and write PORTLAND in the subject line. Please include a valid email address, name and mailing address in the content of your email. Please also mention if you would like to subscribe to our store-wide mailing list.

Pick of the Day


I saw these shoes the other day when I passed by the Payless ShoeSource located next to my office...and I stopped in my tracks! Could these shoes get any cuter? I don't think that is possible! These American Eagle Lacey Platform Sandals add a little bit of boho flair to any outfit. Wear them over a pair of dark tights...or wait until it gets a bit warmer outside and wear them with a summer dress. No matter how you fashion them your feet will be getting plenty of compliments. You can thank me later...

Who Did Michelle Obama Wear?


The big question going on the the fashion world has finally been answered...

Michelle Obama wore a dress designed by 26 year old designer Jason Wu.

I'm watching it on television right now...and she looks nice...but I was really hoping to see her in a bolder color. She does look great though!

What did you think of her gown???

The First Family Loves J. Crew


Remember a few months ago when Michelle Obama told Jay Leno about her love for J. Crew? Well, the Obama's are shopping there again. To the inauguration today President Obama's two daughters were decked out in the brand (and they just looked so cute!). And while Michelle was wearing a beautiful yellow Isabel Toledo dress she also added some J. Crew to her outfit...wearing J. Crew green gloves. I love how this family loves to wear such bold colors...and they look fabulous while doing so.

What did you think of their inauguration looks???

How I can't wait to see what Michelle wears to the ball tonight! Anyone have any ideas? Any guesses? I really hope to see her in a bold color...hopefully purple. This woman looks amazing in color! I think she'll probably show off her arms tonight...and I think that the dress will be something very simple and modern.

What do you guys think? Please post your thoughts in the comment section below.

Lookin' Fab

I never in a million years thought that I would be posting Paris Hilton in the Lookin' Fab section of Snapshot Fashion. But I gotta give the girl credit here. This dress that she is wearing while out shopping in Hollywood is so cute. With the new year do you think Paris has made a resolution to clean all of the hideous clothing out of her closet? Or will it only be a matter of time before she is sporting some nauseating bedazzled pastel tracksuit? We shall see...

But for now, good job Paris.

Trend Block

Mary Janes are always a classic shoe that never goes out of style. Well now they are making these shoes a bit more trendy and even more adorable---with the addition of a bow. How cute and feminine are these? I just love them! Both of these shoes are on sale, however, one is a bit cheaper than the other.

These Madison Harding Patent Mary Janes available at Nordstom. They have a 3 1/2" heel and are come in two colors: stone/sky and black (which is shown). Originally priced at $159.95, they are now on sale for $94.90.

These Patent Ribbon-Trim Mary Janes from Old Navy are a much cheaper alternative to this trend. They come in a variety of colors: plum (shown below), black, and pewter. Regularly priced at $39.50 they are now on sale for only $19.99. I'd hurry though...only select sizes remain! *Please note that these are only available on oldnavy.com.
Which pair do you like better? Would you try this trend?
