Three Red Carpet Surprises on the SAG Awards

While I didn't catch the SAG awards last night, I spent a bit of time checking out the lovely gowns that graced the red carpet. And while I wasn't quite as impressed as I was with the celebs' Golden Globe gown selection, there were still some big surprises.

Three surprises that stood out to me...

1) Nicole Kidman in this sex-ay Vivenne Westwood gown. And super straight locks. And sheer elements. She looked absolutely lovely! I'm often not super inspired by Nic's choices, but this is gorgeous. Definitely outside of her typical covered up, conservative with a bit of edge, gown choice.

2) A young actress actually dressing her age. Yep - 13 year old Kiernan Shipka (of Mad Men) looked perfectly pretty in Oscar de la Renta. Up and coming actresses should take note!

3) Trends that are on fire: Brown-red lips, big waves, super sparkly gowns. While these may not be *surprises* for many, the brown-red lips don't really do it for me, but Claire Danes seemed to make it happen.

Any surprises you took note of?

Lucky Friday

Happy Friday to all! As summer is progressing, I've become very much in love with color. Not to say that I don't love color in other seasons, but the brights most certainly have it as of late. Bright pops of pink, crimson, azure, and the gorgeous color of money...green.

Inspired by fabulous Friday, these ladies are rockin' their green ensembles. What say you - do you dig the green?!

Amanda Seyfried in a liquid-like Prabal Gurung silk dress. Gor-geous. I do wish that the top wasn't quite as blousy, but she still looks effortless.

And how about the lovely Emma Stone rocking out Dolce & Gabbana? Normally I'd like to pull up that hem a bit, but she looks incredibly fresh and ladylike here. Green certainly offsets her auburn locks. However, I think the red lips, red hair and green dress look a bit holiday-esque. A nude lip and dark, bronzed eye would have been pretty.

I think Kermit may have been a little off...it's not too bad being wearing green!
