New York Fashion Week Highlights: Jason Wu
Ok, maybe I stand corrected. It seems as though black is the new black for a LOT of designers this fall, although for Jason Wu we could possibly say that black, white and red are the new black. He absolutely KILLED it with his fall line. Literally, from top to bottom, it is near perfection. Might we see the first lady in any of these daring looks? I'm not sure I support high waisted, pleated pants, but I also feel like Mr. Wu may have a better handle on this than I.

New York Fashion Week Highlights: Elie Tahari
I didn't think this collection was overall fabulous, but there were a handful of looks that I did really like. It seems as though, in Elie Tahari's world, black is the new black.
Love the leather legging, love the cowl neck coat, and love, love, love the green suede heels.
Because I am turning into a Kardashian and for some reason love leopard print now.
Um, hello chic!
Very cute and kind of looks like a dress that Alcott Clothier is currently making!
I like to call this look High-Low Peplum Rocker Chic

New York Fashion Week Highlights: Vera Wang
Per usual, my eye is drawn to the sparkles in the Vera Wang collection. Not sure my inner ADHD fashionista child will ever grow up. Instead, maybe one day she will make it to Fashion Week!
I'm thinking this tulip skirt shape is going to be Falls answer to the peplum trend.
Sparkles and Black!! It's like Vera's in my mind!
Loving the v-neck shift- more modern and less matronly than a round neck shift dress.
I mean, come on, what's not to love?? Ps- are gloves making a comeback??

Music Moments
Do you guys remember a few weeks ago when I told you about Holly Williams new record and how you should get it as soon as it came out?
Well, it's out as of last Tuesday [I know, I'm a little behind] and if you haven't listened to it by now then you are WRONG. It is truly one of the best albums out of Nashville in a long little while. Holly's style is polished but almost bare boned at the same time. No autotune despite the fact that there are a few moments that could have used it, but how REFRESHING that it was left as is. The Highway is almost like an old piano that is loved in and worn, with a few scratches in the wood and thin ivory, and a note or two that doesn't quite keep tune like they used to, but man oh man it creates a sound like no other piano you've ever heard.
It seems as though Holly's goal was to create a real country album, one that even her grandfather could be proud of. At times I hear influences from Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch, and others Williams' is a sound all her own.
Check out The Highway below and, if you love it, please support this artist is is creating genuine, quality music.

Grammy Music Monday Pt 3
I mean, this girl can do no wrong. She is flawless in all that she does and I've got mad respect.
Grammy Music Monday Pt 2
I believe it is no secret that I love myself some Timberlake, BUT I have a few words of advice. Despite the fact that he really started the falsetto singing about a decade ago, he's taking some time off and folks like Robin Thicke and Bruno Mars have caught up with what he started putting down back in those days. Now he is coming in strong with the slicked back hair, black and white Grammys performance, and suited out dancers and it kiiiiiiiiind of looks like he's ripping the new guys off. It's not that I'm saying he is at all, but here's my pep talk for the day; Justin, you are an innovator, so be an innovator in ALL that you do.
Amen.
Amen.
Grammy Music Monday
I believe the Bob Marley performance from last night was my favorite of the evening. Sting + Bruno + Rihanna + Marleys? Can't imagine what could have made it better!!
THE GRAMMYS
Last night's Grammy's was, without a doubt, one of the best Grammy Awards in YEARS. Nearly every performance was spot on, the presenters were for the most part on point with just a hint of comedic relief, and the FASHION was so Old Hollywood in the best way. Overall, I was pretty obsessed with the night......with one major exception. Who keeps asking LL Cool J to host this thing? The guy isn't bad, but he's just SO stiff. I get that the host isn't the major part of the Grammys, but why can't we get an Ellen Degeneres or a Neil Patrick Harris to host this jam? Consider it, Recording Academy.
Also, can we all agree that part of the reason The Grammys were so great this year is because there was no Lady Gaga, no Nicki Minaj, no STUNT QUEENS in general?
Now, let's jump into some fashion....my FAVE! The Grammys are a classy affair, so I don't enjoy it when people dress super hoochey, or when something like THIS happens, but it's also not the Oscars, so I equally hate when people don't take any fashion chances and are a little too stiff with their Red Carpet choices.
LOVE
I realized last night while watching the telecast that not everyone is equally excited about JT's "return" to music [don't call it a comeback!], but it is exciting for some of us because he does bring something a little different to the scene. I'm not sure that I'm loving his new 'do, only because it kind of makes him look eleven-teen, but he looks SUPER sharp in that tux and those loafers.
MEH
Frank Ocean, I am not impressed with your outfit, much like I was not impressed with your performance. I will say to everyone that is talking badly about Frank's performance- 1) You are not wrong. It wasn't a great performance BUT 2) there is good stuff on his album. If you aren't familiar, give him just one shot.
HATE
GURL! Why you gotta do us like this?? I appreciate that you stepped out of your usual choice of Navy or Black and went for something punchy, but didn't anyone on your team tell you how UGLY this is??? It literally looks like the outfit that was planned for the night fell through, so the stylists dramatically ripped down the drapes in the hotel room and whipped up this dress! Barftown USA! The shoes would have been lovely on their own, but you can't put a floral dress with floral shoes. Don't be crazy!
LOVE
Her performance was WEIRD, and she was SO annoying throughout the entire show, but I gotta say, I'm loving this look. This dress is fantab, and am I the only one who thinks this would be a really rad wedding dress? My only complaint remains, this girl has got to get some color in her hair. Why does she insist on keeping this mousy bronde color? Me no likey. But the outfit gets two thumbs up.
MEH
Beyonce could wear a paper bag and look fabulous, and this outfit is no exception- she looks amazing. However, I'm just not a big fan of this outfit. I'm sure it is House of Dereon, which I respect, but I just think it's super boring. Its a great outfit to wear on David Letterman, but a bit of a snooze fest for the Grammys.
HATE
This look confuses me so much. Is Kimbra trying to look like Regina Spektor, Bjork, or a figure skater? The combo does not work for me.
LOVE
Love him or hate him [most likely the latter], the guy looks sharp on the red carpet.
MEH
There is something about this that I really like, and something about it that I just can't get on board with. It is essentially a body suit with a skirt on one side which, when you say it out loud, doesn't sound like a good idea. But somehow, somehow, that JLo pulls off the impossible once again. If this were on anyone else, I would have hated it instantly, but she manages to work it, so congrats to her for that. I bet her mom is proud.
HATE
How old is Carrie Underwood again? Cause she looks about 42 here. This dress is so matronly! It does her no favors in the age department, and is precisely what I was talking about when saying that some folks dress too stiffly for the Grammys. Also, that hair. No ma'am. Why is everyone in Country Music so opposed to getting a few hi and low lights? They are good for you people!
LOVE
Get, get, GET IT girl! There is simply no denying that Katy Perry looked absolutely STUNNING last night. And those BOOBS- can you even handle it? Based on his track record, you can tell what John Mayer's favorite lady asset is.
MEH
Mostly, I'm just bored here. Hair? BORING. Dress? Is it a quilt? BORING. Makeup? BORING. Shape? BORING. Bored, bored, bored. Eat a cheeseburger, pull your hair up, throw on some red lipstick and put more sparkles on your dress and get back to me in a year.
HATE
This guy can't even be real, right? His name is evidently Riff Raff, but I swear he's the love child of Bono, K-Fed, and Ali G. At one point last night, I spotted him sitting behind Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert and I made the entire room sit through a live rewind so they could all see what I saw. Seriously, who let this joker into the GRAMMYS??
LOVE
Kelly Rowland, once again relevant thanks to last weeks Superbowl, looks stunning in this dress! It shows just enough skin to make it edgey and interesting, but not so much skin that she couldn't be wearing it when Jesus comes back.
LOVE
Drizzy Drake looking sharp as a tack! Yum yum Slurp!
LOVE
Rihanna. Girl, yes. Just yes. This is a look that suits you! Long hair, don't care, you look fabulous from head to toe. Say what you will about Rihanna and Chris Brown getting back together, but they both LOOK better when they are together. I love this look for her and hope it means she is taking her fashion in a slightly more grown up direction.
LOVE
Florence Welch was GETTIN IT last night. I just love it when red heads wear this beautiful, emerald green green color. Also, she evidently has an amazing bod and this dress fits her perfectly!
As you can tell, I kind of ran out of hate there at the end because there were a lot of really great fashion moments last night. Stay tuned during the day as I post some of my favorite performances from last night for Music Monday!
