The Best of 2013- Jessica Alba

The Best of 2013- Jessica Alba by divadebbi

I created this set for a Polyvore contest, where they asked us to enter what we thought was the best Celeb Street Style look of 2013.

 

I chose this glorious ensemble worn by Jessica Alba during New York Fashion week this fall.  Of all the things I've observed, and there has been plenty, this is the one that stood out for me.

 

Jessica (and her stylist), nailed this to the tee, perfectly executing three trends in one look; pale pink paired with black, the mid calf skirt, and the cropped sweater.  I love the whole vibe, down to the delicate sandal, classic chignon, patent handle top bag and dark oversized Ray Ban sunglasses.

 

A true, modern day Holly Golightly. Flawless...

 

Win or lose, it's still my fave.

I love Jessica Alba's style. She opts for elegance. She appears ladylike. She oozes quiet confidence.

Listen up Kardashian's...

DivaDebbi's Red Carpet Report Card: Golden Globes 2013

I am happy to say this is my 1000th post and as I write this, I will hit my 500,000th page view.  Thank you all so much for reading my Blog.  There are a zillion out there, and if you choose to read mine, I truly appreciate it.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Co-Hosts

NOW on to the big stuff, the 2013 Golden Globes Awards.  How completely refreshing and adorable were Tina Fey and Amy Poehler???  They absolutely killed it with a combination of wit, delivery and hi-jinx, those little minx.  Adored!

As always, trends become apparent immediately on the Red Carpet...don't these stylists compare notes?  Any way what did we see? An abundance or red, gold, black and nude, sheer, backless, cut outs, long sleeves and fishtails.

The Golden Globes is normally the most casual of the Big 3 (GG's, AA's and the Emmy's), but last night the ladies were dressed and tressed to kill. I can't wait for the AA's...what could possible top this?

There were far more spectacular looks and some really good ones than flat out disasters damn it , so for the sake of brevity I will do my Best and Worst looks only.

DivaDebbi's Loves and Loathes at the 2012 Met Gala

Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada

The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Fete always takes place on the first Monday of May.  It is a gorgeous, glittering spectacle that combines brightest stars in the world of fashion, film, art and politics under one roof.

Last year one genius, Alexander McQueen, was honored with a blockbuster retrospective posthumously.  This year, two will be featured; Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada: Impossible Conversations. It promises to be a must see.

What was different this year was the all out Red Carpet spectacle, was live streamed for the first time. For me, it's another delicious heaping dish of dish--looks to love and loathe.

Seen, was tons of lace, feathers, high/low effects, metallics, juicy color, graphic prints, long peplums, bold ornamention and some black beauties.

In no particular order, My Loves:
