The New Camelot Era has begun!

The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama and the new First Lady, Michelle Obama looked extraordinary during the inauguration ceremony. Mrs. Obama dazzled in a yellow woven silver sheath and matching coat design by Isabel Toledo. The yellow and silver combination sent a message of hope and rebirth like a ray of sunlight. President Barack took the oath of office in a crisp, sleek suit pair with a red power tie. Both classic cuts brought not only confidence but security to withstand the test of time. Classics simply never go out of style.

The Neighborhood Inaugural Ball brought out a new Camelot couple. Michelle chose a gown similar in color to Jackie Kennedy, but was the creation of Jason Wu a 26-year-old New York designer. In choosing such a young designer a new appreciation for youth and style was shown. Our new First Lady sees the importance of grace and illuminating elegance. Like John F. Kennedy before him President Barack looked dapper in a white tie. Again, familiar and strong but renewed!”

GOLDEN GLOBE GODDESSES

I had the wonderful privilege of being on the red carpet at the Hollywood Foreign Press 66th Golden Globe Awards this past Sunday. Although, the sun provided a bit too much warmth, most glowed against the rayed background and glided down the red carpet.
Spring trends and colors were present, as the color wheel tilted towards the blue, purple and red hues. The white, black and gold classics were just as captivating along with the strapless, belted and floor floating silhouettes. Safe was definitely the theme of the evening which was understandable and reflective of today’s society.

The New Classics - Kate Winslet was simply stunning in a black strapless Yves St. Laurent gown along with Kyra Sedgwick chic crimson Oscar de la Renta.

The Come Back - Sandra Bullock looked feminine, flirty and fabulous in Dior silk.

The Stunners – Eva Longoria in s bold Reem Acra mermaid dress while Dior brilliantly dressed Eva Mendes, both took home top style honors.

The Risk Taker - Maggie Gyllenhaal one shoulder turquoise and black Lanvin added drama.

Spring Style Trends Seen on the Red Carpet:

• Go Grecian


• White is the “it” color


• Strapless and beltedStatement necklaces
