Red Carpet Fashion: Emmys 2011

This years Emmy show was quite underwhelming. A bit of a snooze-fest if you will. (although that faux beauty pageant bit during the Best Female Lead in a Comedy section was pretty great) So thank goodness the red carpet was filled with fun and fresh fashion. The color of the night was definitely red and the bold color was chosen by more than a handful of ladies. Also trending on the carpet were tons of sparkly dresses (which made me super giddy) a bit of lace and a few pops of color thrown here and there. While the latest red carpets have been some what hit or miss I fell in love with quite a few of the looks featured last night. So let's get down to my favorite picks.

Nicole Miller Spring 2012 RTW

Calling Nicole Miller's Spring 2012 collection "bright" would be an understatement. Citing inspiration from skateboarding and the energy from the X-games, Miller's bold prints and wearable separates were a breath of fresh air in an often dress heavy selection. The runway show's program read "The speed of wheels in motion. The momentum of a skateboard shredding through the air." And to be honest this collection definitely had an aire about it. Vivid neon mixed with silky solid colors so as not to overwhelm the total look. And while taking note from something so masculine as Extreme Sports she pulled off most of the collection with a surprising amount of femininity. Although not every piece was lovable there were a few here and there that I couldn't resist sharing. Plus I'm on such a neon kick right now it's ridiculous. Here we go...

NYFW Spring 2012 Great Looks

While I'd like to do a rundown of all my favorite runway shows, I don't have enough time! So I thought I'd show you some of the looks I love from a few of the major shows.

Cynthia Rowley Spring 2012

We all know how much I am in love with sequins! So this look obviously tugged on my sparkly heart. Shimmer and sweaters!
