The Fashion Addict: March 2012

Inspired By Mad Men..

There were many rumors about Banana Republic launching a second Mad Men inspired collection this spring.. I am here to confirm those rumors ! This spring, Banana Republic collaborated with the TV shows costume designer, Janie Bryant, to design an elegant, mysterious and sexy new collection. Here are a few pieces from the 40-piece collection. Do you like what you see?

Brian Atwood Fall 2012 Sneak Peak

From what I have seen in the sneak peak it is so far one of the best Spring collections. Incorporating neon colors with bold prints and patterns, Brian does a wonderful job of thinking outside of the box. This year fashion is about standing out, if you find yourself blending into the crowd then get some pieces from Brian Atwood's collection. These accessories are a must and will perfect all of your hottest spring outfits! You will be the best dressed and all eyes will be on you

"This I Believe.."

...were the best dressed at The Academy Awards. On February 26, 2012 ten of our favorite leading ladies took everyones breath away as they walked the red carpet in some of today's hottest designers. Everybodys favorite seemed to be Gywneth Paltrow's white Tom Ford dress. Although elegant, I found it to be plain and not as eye-catching as others. My personal favorite was Stacy Keibler's gold Marchesa. The color was elegant, the shine was eye-catching and off the shoulder was sexy. This combination along with the swirl drawing your eyes to her flawless figure made Stacy the best dressed. Usually it would be hard to be the center of attention next to George Clooney in his Armani suite but Stacy's natural beauty mixed with her exquisite Marchesa dress draws the attention away from Clooney. In this group I would then say that the worst dressed would be Angelina Jolie. Don't get me wrong, her Atelier Versace is beautiful but he dresses to the last few awards shows look very similar. Often times Angelina's dress is the one that I look forward to seeing the most but I am lately disappointed, she needs to pick a different style next time and keep people guessing.
