GG III: Globe to Global Style

And the moment we've all been waiting for...!" Globe to global style. The thing about award shows is, it's just as much of an opportunity for celebs to display a richer, more complex and intricate side of themselves. They are actors playing parts and like to play dress up just as much as we do! But do differ in that they have a team devoted to expressing this image; there is their publicist, their agent, a personal shopper- who may or may not be their stylist, their hair stylist, dear ol' mom...the list goes on for the number of people to take direction (and free gear!) from. As for the general public, we merely aspire to yield such concern.

Accordingly, the best we can do is as best we can do. Check out these awesome deals. Eek.

I really like this romper by Arden B. $78. The colour is comparable to the satin pieces seen at the Globes and wide, boat neck collar allows for plenty of looks. Top off with the menswear inspired blazer and a chunky heel. As weather permits, let the collar fall off your shoulder and only compliment with a short, single charm chain.

Um, hello.
Hello Debra Messing's emerald drop earrings $99 (!!!) Do not be afraid of these beauties. Wear with a lace top and skinny dark jeans, as these gems will draw exceptional attention and will be timeless in your collection.
Many Globe starlets flaunted full-circle dangles such as this one by Van Cleef & Arpels for Eva Mendes.
Check out these close comparison turquoise drop earrings found at HSN.com ($43).
Cruise closer to lake time in this silky, tasteful tunic print (forever 21 $25). A great piece to pair with black tights in early spring chills; later, let go of the belt and let it billow for a relaxed bohemian flair. Such work truly redefines art appreciation!
Start and stay ahead of the line with this double flap clutch with faux snakeskin detailing (forever 21 $9). Don't be afraid to mix up your bags as a simple change can be all that's necessary in tweaking your look.

It's not too often tulle finds it way outside of garments, much less less wedding chapels, but these stacked, full swinging skirts are so fun, wear them while you can. This short version with satin trim overlay is a very reasonable option especially at $18 (! Dillards's.com)

As for that blazer: you have got to have one. No arguments. Pick:

A) The boys' Ivy league cut shown here from Urban Outfitters ($60)
Throw this over any casual look to pull it all together or exchange your heavy winter wool for this lighter fare.

B) The mens' cut with satin lapels. Use your imagination: ignore the uptight secretary look by leaving it unbuttoned and roll up the sleeves for a "Who's got time for jokes?" look (Mangoshop.com, $40).


C) The beauty of blazers is yes, while many have a basic cut, no two are alike be it in length, detail, or color. Even so, many secure discrete charm in a funky, contrasting lining--a subtle detail to a rolled up sleeve. Find your favourite detail in a cool fabric, a popped collar, or just by belting it up for a high waist.
Or, shoot, just steal one: getting the gold can be cut-throat. And they don't call it the 'boyfriend blazer' for nothin' (Victoria's Secret $80).
