{Emerald} Forgotten Gem at the Golden Globes

Dear Stylists and Stars, I think you forgot something… The color of the year. We wanted you to rock the red carpet with doses of jewel hued gowns sprinkled in with the sophisticated classic blacks, winter white and red! Emerald was the forgotten gem at the 2013 Golden Globes, but no doubt we will see it very soon.

I am still going for the gold girls and see no signs of turning back. Gold is a classic neutral worth investing in… Not a trend. Love it or live without it, but I am definitely smitten with my recent acquisition of this gorgeous Brian Atwood Cassiane Gold Fringe Stiletto.

Gold is bold, embellished ankles are on my trend radar, and what girl doesn’t love the silhouette of a gorgeous stiletto!?!

•A platform at the ball of your foot can make all the difference

•Shoe inserts are lifesavers

Risque Review | Heidi Klum American Music Awards

Heidi Klum in Gold Lace Alexandre Vaultier

Heidi Klum - absolutely stunning in this close up at 45th American Music Awards 2012. Love her hair and soft makeupHeidi Klum is a natural beauty. Unfortunately, I am not won over by the length of the Alexandre Vaultier gold and sheer lace mini dress. This mini dress with a high slit gets a risqué review – the combination of the high slit AND a mini length is a little too brazen for my taste. But I am no supermodel, and it is the American Music Awards.

Maybe I am being too hard on this dress. Does she totally rock it or does the dress go too far?

Of course a super model wears anything and can look über fab, but when the look is right, she will stop traffic. Elle Macpherson stops the show in this fashionably fabulous all white laser cut look from Azzedine Alaia and I just had to share with all of you.

{ Style Notes- Lessons from Elle Macpherson’s Look }

1. Laser Cut is hot now and all over the runway for Spring Summer 2013 aka SS13.

2. All White is always chic.

3. Full Skirts are trending and you will find skirts in a variety of shapes in SS13 Collections.

4. When dressing with a full skirt, make sure the top is fitted or Wear a Belt so you are cinched in.

5. Love a Popped Collar and rock it with hair in an up-do.

6. Simple Jewelry is best so the look is not over complicated.

7. A High Heel is a must with a full skirt, or you could risk looking weighted.

Elle Macpherson totally rocks! -Emily Arnim

{Rock the Red} Fierce Red Lips

Rachel Zoe Rocking Red Lips | Photo: Who What Wear

It seems to me every year we hear, “Red lips are in!” So are Red Lips ever out? Red Lipstick is definitely hot, and more women seem to be embracing their inner fire. Rachel Zoe, Cindi Rose, Angelina Jolie, Kim KardashianCameron Diaz, Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, Lynn Wyatt… These ladies stand out with red lips and they mean business.

Silhouette Artist Cindi Rose rocking the Red Lips | Houston, Texas

As New York Fashion Week hit my radar, I decided to go out on a limb and pick up a Fierce Red Lipstick. I stopped by Tom Ford at Neiman Marcus and this Lush Cherry Red Lipstick caught my eye. The fab thing about Red Lipstick, is the option to buy it in any shade, from almost every beauty brand. Red is hot, and will instantly add a pop of color and elegance to your look. Blonde, brunette, auburn, 20 or 50… There’s a red for every lovely lady.

{Fake it Don’t Break it} Leather Pencil Skirt

Of course it would be wonderful to wrap yourself in amazing designer leather, but is it necessary to break the bank for a plush Black Leather Pencil Skirt by Vince? Let’s be honest, $1000 can go a long way if you spend smart. Explore the alternatives before you decide this look is out of your reach.

No matter your perfect shade… Grey Denim is a neutral you need to invest in. Grey Jeans are a fresh alternative to blue denim, and come in a variety of shades. Think of Grey like you think of styling a Khaki colored pant, you will be surprised what looks you create. Grey Denim is relaxed, stylish and confident! I love grey denim with a white tee and the perfect scarf, or even a pop of color top for a look outside of the box.

{Emily Maynard} Get the Look, But Better

Emily Maynard stepping out with Beau Jef Holmes in NYC

Blonde bombshell and Bachelorette Emily Maynard stepped out with beau Jef Holmes in New York City dressed to kill. Strutting her stuff in a Sheer Black Blouse, Black Lace Shorts and Black Peep Toe T-Strap Stilettos with a Blush Colored Snake Skin Clutch Emily Maynard had the right idea (and killer legs), but I would style the look a little differently. Personally not a fan of the bra showing through, this isn’t typically a slimming look or very classy. Go for a black or nude cami underneath, or a black bandeau for a more mysterious look. I also think her balance of necklaces is a little off. When layering necklaces, the tassel needs to fall below the necklaces, not inside of a larger necklace. I would wrap the long necklace twice to complete this look. What do you think? Did Emily Maynard nail The Look or need to think it out a little more?!?

{The Pencil Skirt} Fashionable, Refined, Chic, Sophisticated

Somehow a Pencil Skirt can hug your  curves and zip you up into a fashionable refined, chic, sophisticated woman. The Pencil Skirt look is pulled together in all of the right places and these women did it right, so take note and take charge of your style. Remember to stay simple and layer when needed. Never overdo a look, it can ruin it all together. Cardigans, Boyfriend Blazers, Necklaces and Belts are simple ways to change the look and create multiple styling options. A stiletto is always best with pencil skirts to elongate you, but sometimes a flat is necessary for comfort. Hope this inspires you to create a look of your own.

Well, it is back to the blonde for me!! I was born blonde and then faked it when it was no longer natural.

Coachella 2012: Hippie Chic Style Inspiration

The Music Lovers, Fashionistas, Hipsters and Trendsetters were out at Coachella 2012, and I what better style inspiration for your Hippie Chic Spring Summer Looks?!? The Hippie Chicks were rocking their individual styles and I LOVED it!! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite looks from the first weekend of Coachella 2012 for my personal style and hope you find inspiration too. Take bits and pieces from these looks to create a style of your own… Remember, it isn’t everyday that we are attending an Arts and Music Festival, so make your look occasion appropriate, keep it balanced, and OWN it!

Real Housewives of Orange County Give Glamping a Bad Name

Real Housewives of Orange County Glamping at El Capitan Photo: She Knows Reality TV

After watching the Real Housewives of Orange County Glamping Episode, Above the Fire Line, I thought the Housewives severely damaged the term “Glamping” for anyone watching! Cabins, cooking yourself, sub par accommodations, that is not glamping, they simply roughed it at the El Capitan Canyon in Goleta,California!

Glamping at Paws Up Luxury Dude Ranch in Greenough, Montana

If you want a true taste of Glamping, Glamorous Camping, there are some fine places around the United States to go. My personal travel wish list is reigning with a trip to Paws Up Luxury Dude Ranch in Greenough, Montana. I am still waiting to visit the fabulous 37,000 acre ranch nestled in the mountainous region of Montana. Paws Up is absolutely breathtaking and the reviews are RAVING! From Haute Cuisine, to Butlers, to Sumptuous Beds, I cannot wait to visit this beautiful site in the middle of stunning nature- I cannot wait to experience what True Glamping is all about… LOVE!

Paris Hilton Flutters in Alice + Olivia: Coachella 2012

Oh Paris Hilton, such a free spirit right?!? Literally always found dancing to the beat of her own drum anytime the music is playing! What better place to let her free spirit flutter than at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival located in the Desert Valley area of Eastern California?!? Coachella 2012 seems to be as much about the fashion as the arts, and I have been absolutely enchanted by the pictures of the hipsters and trend setters this year! Here is Paris Hilton in the Alice + Olivia Shannon Pleated Maxi Skirt looking oh so Hippie Chic!! I wish I could pull this off, she is taking Music Festival Chic to a whole new level!!
