2011 Oscars and Upcoming Trends


As the 83rd Academy Awards aired last night, the red carpet was full of glamour and inspiration.  As awards were presented, several trends presented themselves on the carpet and will be sure to influence seasonal fashion.  Jennifer Aniston's infamous braid from the 2009 Oscars comes to mind.

However, the 2011 Oscars possessed its own set of trends.  So indulge in these beautiful pictures from People's Oscars' fashion recap, which was so kind as to break down the trends for us, and envision yourself pulling these looks off wherever you find yourself this year!

Mandy Moore is wearing the Monique Lhuillier gown from her spring/summer collection!!!

These form-fitting gowns were so flattering on these statuesque women.

Stick straight hair looked sleek and effortless. Although, I must admit, I'm more of a volume girl.

The short waves are a nice change from the long, flowing locks we so often see.

And lucky Anne Hathaway had the privilege of having eight outfit changes, and I must say, I didn't necessarily hate any of them!  The white Givenchy Haute Couture bustier dress could most certainly double as a radiant wedding dress!


These gorgeous dresses are seen on celebrities, who star in movies, but check back soon to see where you can get the looks for less, and just maybe they'll be starring in your wedding!

NYCFW Spotlight on Monique Lhuillier

As New York Fashion Week comes to a close, I have fashion on the mind, and it only seems fitting to spotlight a well-known wedding dress designer.  Back in September, Monique Lhuillier debuted her spring/summer line, and even though it is not intended to be wedding specific, it doesn't mean that it's not versatile enough to be incorporated into the wedding scene.  The line was so girly and sweet that I can't help but imagine the pieces on brides as reception dresses, rehearsal dresses, leaving the reception dresses, and even bridesmaid dresses.  Who wouldn't want an excuse to wear more than one fabulous dress on their special day? And while the notion that these dresses might be a bit over the top to serve as bridesmaid dresses, my imagination goes wild with visions of Sex-and-the-City-esque schemes. 

Imagine changing into one of these gorgeous dresses to dance the night away at your reception!


(((This mint green dress is my favorite... I am in love with it!!!)))  

Or how about putting one of these little numbers on before you are whisked away on your honeymoon?



I can just see the gals from Sex and the City rocking these gowns in each other's bridal parties. 




So we can all dream of these dresses and thank Miss Lhuillier for her unique sense of designing the most feminine and gorgeous dresses.  That is, we can dream of these until Bridal Market 2011 gives us new dreams.
