We haven’t talked about Nicole Richie’s metallic butterfly sleeved low back Reem Acra metallic gown at the Oscars – and we have to admit, we took a long time to really get it. Because Nicole ALWAYS looks chic and bohemian, we’re used to her showing up flawless and always consistently and quietly wearing her own personal style, no matter what the occasion. Then we studied the dress and her look – and realized she pulled off the nearly impossible: by NOT going too far, not giving up her own style, and by really remaining true to herself. She didn’t wear lipstick, she wore a simple ballerina hairdo, and the dress – silver metallic with bits of gold and bronze – must have been heavy with all that beading, but she floated down the carpet in it. Interesting that a woman who’s so tiny and in such great shape chose to only expose her beautiful back – but Nicole is a true fashion girl and gets that it’s more chic to surprise than flaunt. Meanwhile, Nicole’s chic stylist Simone Harouche worked with Miley Cyrus for the Oscars this year, and we were shocked at how just pretty and lovely and girlish Miley looked in her satin Jenny Packham corset and A line ballgown skirt. The skirt was not too poufed, so instead of going rocker chick – or princess – either of two extremes she’s played out – she just looked pretty and young and even a bit sexy, but not too. The TOTALLY right place for her to be. Her best look ever. Jenny Packham is a British eveningwear designer who’s had representation in Los Angeles for about five years now, and she’s a good choice for a young woman.

As we approach the oscars, i am slowly begining to loose my mind. i have now not slept for the second night this week. Styling gets very intense around award seasons- but especially when you are dressing four people for the academy awards!
sometimes i just wish i could live in this photo of brigitte bardot.
if i could be any photo right now- this one would be my choice.
just beautiful in its innocent and dream like composition.
ahhh…
ok enough day dreaming gotta get ready for my next fitting.
xoxo
