My favorite oscar 2010’s outfits

Sarah Jessica PArket wearing Chanel Couture at Oscar 2010

I guess this Chanel Couture dress is my favorite. The champagne body & silver flowers mixmatch is amazing on Parker’s skin tone. Though her eye make up is a bit too smoky. Yes, she needed a bold eye make up, but something went wrong here.

Helen Mirren wearing Badgley Mischka at Oscar 2010

Christopher Plummer was handsome this night with his perfectly fitted jacket, straight pants and classic shoes. Helen Mirren is so classy beside him. Her shape is astonishing in her Badgley Mischka gown. Those veil sleeves are so sexy.

Luciana Damon at Oscar 2010

Luciana Damon’s gown is just perfect. Those delicate pink layers are a perfect match with her skin tone. Her earrings flatter her neck and chest. Her discreet make up higlight her dark look. Not too much, not too poor.

Demi Moore wearing Atelier Versace gown at Oscar 2010

Demi Moore is astonishing as usual. Her Atelier Versace old rose dress looks like a luxurious flower.

Ryan Reynold wearing Tom Ford at Oscar 2010

We needed another male. Here he is. Tom Ford is a male suit genius. Look at Ryan Reynolds hands: sleeves are fitted on the biceps and go larger to the cuffs. With his waist fitted & lengthened legs, his figure looks athletic and energetic. His hoes are elegant.

Miley Cyrus wearing Jenny Packham at Oscar 2010

Yep, she’s growing up fast. The dress is Jenny Packham’s. Big earrings flatter her neck. Have you noticed that trend was going toward nude neck and big cuffs?

Amanda Seyfried wearing Armani Prive at Oscar 2010

Love this Armani Prive dress. It’s the princess’ dress I would love love to don when I was a little girl. Not that I wouldn’t want to wear it now. It’s just that it was my girl dream.

Vanessa Hudgens wearing Jenny Packham at Oscar 2010

A true elegant black dress.  Sparkling. not boring at all. Jenny Packham’s.

Nicole Richie wearing Reem Acra at Oscar 2010

This is my less favorite of my most favorite. Why? Usually, I don’t like long sleeved dresses. But I like this Reem Acra’s one, with his kimono like line and sparkling grey color. It deserved a place in my ranking.

Lacoste is gonna color our Fall 2010
Lacoste is gonna color our Fall 2010

Lacoste is gonna color our Fall 2010

You know what I love about this collection? That Christophe Lemaire popped colors. It really is different from usual  dark collection. I really believe I should wear more colors during winter to lift up my mood. I confess that I’m a black person over winter. Above all because (and this winter more than ever) I stack clothes to keep warm. Do you believe that I’m gonna work with 5 layers. 6 with my underwear. First my underwear. 2/another underwear shirt or tee 3/My shirt. 3′/Another shirt depending upon the length of the sleeves or the body of the first one.4/ my pull/ sweater or my jacket. 6/ My coat. And I double my socks. I always wear a scarf, my hat and my gloves (sometimes my leather gloves + a pair of mitts). You bet it’s easier to picking them up all black rather than mixing colors right.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

This yellow runway is bright. I mean smart. I am still wondering how Lemaire achieves to keep the focus on the clothes since beige and grey tones aren’t a good match with yellow. Here the ensemble does not look dull. I like the coat shape. It’s between a feminine and male coat. The color itself looks comfy. I want to cuddle in. Don’t like the pants. Looks like my old pajama pants I’d never wear even at home (Nope, I do not have grey pajamas like those).

The shape of the coat is very similar to the male’s one of the first pic. It may be a good opportunity to play Chip and Dale with Sweetheart.

I like all that big collar belted coats. I got myself two of this kind. One long black and one short brown. It really flatters my figure. Yeah, sometimes I am being selfish. I am talking about and to myself.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

I know. Those pajama pants are older people targeted. The beige coat looks soft and classic.  I love it. I really like what Lemaire did with coats. Lacoste will definitely be my 1st next Fall inspection. I am talking about inspection because I can’t figure out the fabric on pics. I like noble soft wool sheets. Usually with a blend of cashmere in.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

The dress is gorgeous. I guess I may don it with everything from day in to night out. I like this blue grey color since it could fit my skin color. I’m dark caramel over summer, but yellow (yes yellow) over winter. I can’t wear grey outfits. I confess it’s the one thing I envy blonds. They lighten up greys.

I like the sweater. It’s one of those outfits I keep trying on without never finding one out for myself. Wearing large long knits like this is like I’m gonna bed. It could be so elegant to other people.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

This ensemble is elegant. It’s against my DNA code to wear a hooden sweater with a jacket and a pajama pants, all in dull colors. But this is relax and elegant.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

This high waisted between knee and short length short is a mistake. Every woman want to look thinner than she is. Don’t tell me it’s not true. There’s always something that don’t look right that we’d want to change in the mirror. This short doesn’t make it.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

This sweater, right in the middle of a shirt and a zipped cardigan, is of beauty. It fits beautifully the pajama pants.

Life is hard for men. I may like an all red woman in the street. The man is bright on the runway. I don’t think he would be out there in the streets. Though, I like the classic coat and pants.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

She’s gorgeous. Who is she? Does anyone know her name?

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

Another day to night (in) dress. Very elegant. Classic folded shape, original asymmetry, hyped hood. All at the same time. I l ike it.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

Jumpsuits are definitely back. I got several 7 to 10 years ago. I trashed them all down. A mistake it was! yep. But I’m moving out every 2 years. I can’t keep everything.

Lacoste Fall RTW 2010 runway show

Love her smile. It’s not so common to get big smile on the runway. Have you noticed that every model was smiling at this runway? You know what? It’s a true incentive to pay a visit to Lacoste stores. I feel I’m being invited to come in.

Large top and tight short length bottom. Love this figure. I’m still searching my winter short. I don’t get one yet.

Easy going. Like the double color belt that lights up the whole. I’ll think about it. I really need to go over to Marché Saint Pierre, the fabric temple, feets away from Le Sacré Coeur church in the North of Paris.

Pink, red and yellow are a really good fit … on a runway. I remember laughing at my mom’s pics, wearing a rainbow of colors when she was younger. My brother and I were brats. We loved mock her up. She was never upset about it. She used to laugh with us. I love you mom. What I like here is the tights. It’s like she’s wearing knee length socks underneath her leggings. Usually, I am doing it upside down. I am gonna try it like that.

Revisited classic LBD. Easy going. I love it.

I always wonder why fashion designers look so shy at the end of their show. Ok they’re still longing fashion magazine critics. But it’s like they’re afraid to harvest up rotten eggs and tomatoes.

My Fall 2010 RTW Men Collection favorites
My Fall 2010 RTW Men Collection favorites

Sorry guys. I’m running late. I’m 12 hours a day at the office. Not as much time as I’d want to feed my blog.

I tracked Milan & Paris Fall 2010 Men collection with delight. I feel like that there’s more creativity in Men Collection because they can’t be very creative. I mean girl wear long knee length short skirt or dress, full or cropped pants, kinda skirt-pant and everything in between while men have pants and bermudas … and shorts …

You see what I mean? And so I’m always in such a joy to scrutinize Men Collection, because it doesn’t look like a lot what is going on out there. Girls are allowed to be creative in big cities. I feel like gentlemen aren’t.

My sister-in-law Valentine day present
My sister-in-law Valentine day present

My sister-in-law Valentine day present

My assignment this week is to find a present out for my sister-in-law Valentine day.

My brother e-mailed me 2 days ago a bracelet he wanted to offer to his sweetheart. The bracelet was nice, but way too expensive for what it was worth. I couldn’t say to my brother. “Dude, it’s uglyly expensive! Find something else”. I can’t! You agree? Now I am searching the web something nicer. The task is hard since my sister-in-law and I are very different to each other. I’m rather feminine. She’s tomboy. I like sporting one bold piece that makes a difference. She loves several smaller pieces. She’s more bling. And I’m talking about someone I spent only 2 weeks with last year. I’m talking about someone who was yawning while I was talking talked about my quest for my sister’s wedding last summer. But my brother is my hero, and I can’t let him down. So I went to think as a tomboy would and guess what would make my eyes sparkle for Valentine day. My brother’s first choice was a bracelet, so I went for jewellery and other accessories on my favorite websites: Net-a-Porter, The Outnet and Luisa Via Roma.

Here are my picks

This is merely, simply wow: her skirt grey detail matching her shoes, green and red lightening the sad winter.

I woke up early saturday morning to watch Avatar at the opening of the theater. I was at Gaumont Montparnasse in Paris (by the way I’m back to Paris for 6 months… At least… I don’t know whether I should cry or enjoy. I need to explain that to you one day). Anyway, the movie is great. It really is.

Nowness has just replaced e-luxury.

LVMH group pioneered luxury goods selling on line with the San Francisco headquartered e-luxury it launched back in June 2000. e-luxury has interrupted its operations by early 2009, after one month of severe discounted prices. I made some good deals by the way. The official reason was that the labels presented on the website has been developing their own online retail store.
