Sequins,ruffles, shiny jackets - This is fashion. I had never heard of this designer until this week but I gotta say they have just acquired a new cheerleader.
Tuxedo Park was Ruffian's take on fashion's semi formal wear. It was a clever way to combine classic menswear with an edgy girl look.

This was one of the first videos I did with my new Sony Bloggie so it's a little lot out of focus at times. ENJOY.
You know those people we run to when our lovers goof up, the ones we call on when our lovers have left town, or the ones we call on when we just need a break.

I've never seen the PETA documentary that she refers to but her words were so genuine and so real that it made me an even bigger fan. Although I've never wanted a real fur, the clips from this video definitely make me an official supporter of PETA.

When I started blogging I never imagined I would be in the company of such humble great bloggers. Truth is they are everywhere and not even hard to find. A lot of my days I spend blogsurfin for new bloggers or bloggers my readers say I should be following. Often times I stumble upon a great one.
Grit & Glamour is a fashion and lifestyle blog by Vahni Georgoulakos (say that 3 times real fast). But everyone knows her as V. She writes with wit and prides herself with honesty. I find myself getting tons of blogger tips from her blog. I love reading her personal style posts because she's not a size "double negative". It gives me hope for a good style post of my own.
If you've never heard of V I highly recommend spending an hour or so on her site - you need to catch up!
Check out more of my Muse Mondays.
Check out who wore what, who got my vote for the best dressed, worst dressed, and some honorable mentions.
Menswear is so attractive when done with simplicity. Most of the men on the red carpet choice well tailored suits and skinny ties. Love it!
I really think us curvy divas need to call an intervention session with Gabourey Sidibe. This look is dreadful and yes I agree with my tweethearts - it looks like a house coat. Trash and burn!
I cannot say that I hate this dress but I don't think it's appropriate for the Golden Globes. Fail!
I recently learned there was a curvy diva on Glee so I may have to begin watching. Amber Riley looks stunning in this sequin embellished gown. #CurvyRocks
No one talked much about Kyra Sedgwick but she was there rocking this mustard gown with all gold accessories. I definitely would have love this more in black BUT it's still worth mentioning.
This however is uber disappointing. This Romana Keveza gown paired with a 60's beehive hair do is such a disaster. I am hoping she loved it because I didn't! Trash and Burn!
January Jones went for a hot red Versace dress. I will say her hair and makeup distracted me from how horrible the top of this dress is.
This is such a classic Calvin Klein gown worn by Emma Stone.
That little itty bitty bow on this Prada dress worn by Nicole Kidman can kick rocks.
Such a tragedy that Julianne Moore went with the asymmetrical Lanvin gown instead of Tom Ford. This color is horrible and I am not sure why the sleeved material comes over the collar?
After seeing the images of JLo in this Zuhair Murad gown it's not THAT bad, but this has to be a last minute dress?
Black Swan star Mila Kunis looks gorge in this deep green Vera Wang. (this green was a trend tonight)
Sofia Vergara also looked to Vera Wang for her design talents. This crimson gown which hugged her curves looked amazing.
Helen Bonham Carter channeled her Alice in Wonderland character with this uber ugly Vivienne Westwood gown. Check the shoes?
Leighton Meester has one of my favorite looks for the evening. This Burberry Prorsum gown flatters her shape and she rocked it perfectly in this pose.
Humph you can't tell Ms. Berry nothing in this Nina Ricci lingerie. She does get a huge uber fab wink wink for always having flawless makeup and hair.
Viktor & Rolf should stick to making perfumes because Natalie Portman is dreadful in this gown.
Angelina Jolie made a good choice with this floor length jaw dropping green Atelier Versace.
What's more prettier and joyous than Catherine Zeta Jones in this Monique Lhuiller emerald city green gown - Michael Douglas looking and sounding better!!
Oscar de la Renta strikes again. Loving this pale pink on Lea Michelle.
I had the pleasure of attending the Spring 2011 Jenny Packham fashion show during NYFW in September and I know exactly how great this dress really is. But Sandra Bullock doesn't pull this off well.
Can you say "Old Hollywood"? Scarlett Johansson looks absolutely amazing in this nude Elie Saab gown.
Christina Aguilera shows her after child curves in this Zuhair Murad gown. Unlike Jenny from the Block this one is a keeper!
AND NOW FOR MY TOP 3 BEST LOOK OF THE 2011 GOLDEN GLOBES (in my Ted Williams announcer voice, LOL)
Anne Hathaway is one of my favorite actresses. And apparently Giorgio Armani loves her too. This gown looks like it was made for her!
Eva Longoria pulled out this "freak-em girl dress" with an amazing Zac Posen gown.
One of the first dresses we saw on the red carpet by Marchesa. Their showroom must have been busy. I definitely would not have paired it with those gold spiked Louboutins but if Olivia Wilde would have keep her dress down we would have never known.
Love Love Love most of the fashion's tonight. See you at the Oscars!

The packaging seems a little kiddish to me and I am not sure if this is what I wanna pull out of my makeup bag in a crowded subway train but I guess it's all in fun, right?
Would you buy these?
