SAG BUST

I really don’t even know where to start. Who watched the Screen Actors Guild Awards? I did, and it wasn’t worth it. While I LOVE to see the winners of each category perform their acceptance speeches, I am totally in it for the red carpet fashion… And let me tell you.. It was a TOTAL let down. This is a formal affair, and while everyone MAY have been wearing the right attire (except Justin Timberlake, of course), it looked like everyone went shopping at David’s Bridal. These people are celebrities, and they can wear whatever they want… I mean all of them are wearing designer, but I am just simply not impressed.

Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain

Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain

I’ll applaud Jennifer Lawrence because she is fighting pneumonia, and she still looks great! But of course, I’m bias. I’m not a huge fan of her dress from that night though. I don’t even know where to start with Anne Hathaway’s dress. I just did NOT like it! The tulle.. everything.. it was just too much. NOT A FAN. Jessica Chastain got a few points for her dress. She definitely did better in this Alexander McQueen over what she wore at the Golden Globes. But WHAT is with the jewelry?! I’m sorry, I know they’re real diamonds… but THEY LOOK LIKE THEY’RE FROM SAM MOON!!!! I don’t know. I am just disappointed, as you can tell already..

Amanda Seyfried in Zac Posen

Ahh but a breath of fresh air.. Here comes Amanda Seyfried in one of my favorite gowns of the night! She looks amazing in Zac Posen! I loved it. She definitely makes my best dressed list….if one actually existed for the SAG. I don’t find it necessary to have one when so many of these fine celebrities didn’t quite dress to impress for the red carpet this time.

Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior

SURPRISE! Here’s someone else I loved! Marion Cotillard in Christian Dior. Fashion Police didn’t even mention her, but I LOVED HER DRESS! The color blocking. The colors. The shape. Everything just looked great!

I’m not going to waste anymore time talking about who I didn’t like and what was wrong with all of the dresses that night. Instead let’s cross our fingers and hope they go for the gold on Oscar night!!

Until then..

Add a POP of color!

Hey pretty people! time for another marvelous style update!

InStyle

February’s InStyle

I absolutely fell in love with the color pop in February’s issue of InStyle! As some may have guessed from previous posts…I LOVE colors!  They are so bright and fun and can make any outfit look and feel more vibrant!

What’s great about these colors pops..well they aren’t necessarily in what dress or shirt you wear…or just for wallets… NOPE! it’s all about accessorizing with your favorite handbag! These bright colors can make a fun spring look complete and create a summer by the beach feel as well!

Some of the best of the best (to me) are the ones that are travel friendly since many of us, whether traveling near or far during the spring and summer, want something that is friendly to the endless security checks and the “randoms” that happen to fall into your bag..something like “hey how did I fit three magazine and two water bottles in here” kinda thing.

Color Pop Handbags

Many of my favorites are the larger bags that have crossbody abilities to them, that way you can have multiple ways to use them!

Color Pop Crossbody

NYZ MODA Color Pop Bags

Our color pop collection

ALSO, a favorite for the days when you don’t need to carry fifteen extra pounds of “handbag baby weight” are the very light and super CUTE crossbody bags!  We have a few great pieces in our collection that will be sold this week at NYZ MODA! They are fun, bright, edgy (with some metal detail), very trendy, very multi use (since you can use it as a clutch with the removal of the strap), and honestly just a SUPER way get a great “color pop” bag without having to pay hundred of dollars for it.

Be sure to check it out HERE!

What’s your favorite travel/ spring summer bag?

Here’s a closer look at our color pop collection!

Golden Globes: Best & Worst Dressed

What a night it was! Lots of glamour on the red carpet on Sunday! We’ve heard a lot from other entertainment shows and sites; now, it’s time to give our two cents.

Here are our best dressed of the night:

Best Dressed

Best Dressed

Number 5: The beautiful Jennifer Lawrence wearing Dior. I’m not a HUGE fan of what’s going on around her chest, but she looks gorgeous. Did you know she had the flu? Yeah. STUNNING.

Number 4: Kristen Bell is pregnant and beautiful in Jenny Packham. I have never seen someone look that good on the red carpet when they’re pregnant. It is just THE best dress for her. SO PRETTY!!

Number 3: Hayden Panettiere looks stunning in Roberto Cavalli! I’ve never seen her look this good. She is beautiful. 

Number 2: Anne Hathaway looks beautiful in Chanel. I love her hair. I love the simple look. It just goes great. She looks amazing!!!

Number 1: For us, Kate Hudson stole the night in Alexander McQueen! We are OBSESSED with her dress. She looked BEAUTIFUL! 

And our worst dressed…. First, I want to say I love everyone here. There were many more weird dresses, but I went with the top 5 that bothered me the most…

Worst Dressed

Worst Dressed

Number 5: Jessica Chastain. I LOVE HER. I’m so upset she’s on my list. However, I hate her hair, and she looks saggy in this Calvin Klein gown. Just not a good look.

Number 4: Nicole Kidman got a lot of rave for this Alexander McQueen dress, but I just don’t like it. Plain and simple. I wish I had more of an explanation. 

Number 3: Rachel Weiz is wearing Louis Vuitton. I don’t like the dress. On Fashion Police, they said maybe if it was at a different event, but I don’t think so. I feel like this dress could be found at Forever 21. 

Number 2: Katharine McPhee is wearing shoes with a clear strap. A CLEAR STRAP. What is that? I have no idea.. I don’t like the dress at all. The way she was posing made it look like she was trying to keep her dress up. I just think she could have gone with something better than the Theyskens’ Theory gown.

Number 1: Halle Berry is so beautiful, so why is she wearing this Versace gown? It’s pinned all wrong. I feel like you could wear this dress on a date night at the beach..not the Golden Globes. I hate that I’m saying this about one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood!

Overall, there were some BEAUTIFUL gowns on Sunday. Hits and misses as usual! We’ll see what the next red carpet brings us! I’M EXCITED!

…I must say this was really hard lol I don’t know how they always pick the best/worst! Hopefully, it’ll get easier every time we do this! Until next time..

Hollywood It Girls

Who has seen Silver Linings Playbook?! It’s an amazing movie!!! It took me forever to finally have time to go see it, but I’m obsessed with it!! I haven’t seen a good romantic comedy like that in awhile! This is me saying: GO SEE IT. What I really want to talk about is the big star! NOOOO…not the handsome Bradley Cooper!

Jennifer Lawrence. I LOVE HER!!!!! She is one of my absolute favs! Just so we all know…that’s a very rare thing for me to say… I am a HUGE movie fan.. I love all movies (except scary movies…YIKES!) I can never pick favorite movies/actors/whatever. I just love them all so much. For once, I can finally say I have a favorite…or favorites…but more on that later!

What I love most about Jennifer Lawrence is she is so down to earth. I wish I knew her personally!!!! She doesn’t let any of the fame get to her head like other actors. You would think it would happen to her by now being in popular movies like X-MEN and The Hunger Games… Did I mention she’s an AMAZING actress? Because she is… She can do anything! Drama. Action. Comedy. She has nailed every role. She is definitely the woman to keep an eye on in Hollywood! Watch out world!!! She’s the new Hollywood It Girl!!!

I’m also a big fan of her style!! She always looks so beautiful!!!! Here are some of my favorite looks!Jennifer Lawrence

 Red Carpet

Stunning. She looks gorgeous! I can’t believe George Kotsiopoulos called her a “bigger girl” on Fashion Police.. I’M SORRY, WHAT? She is healthy. Leave her along crazies! I’ve heard she’s a size 2… SINCE WHEN IS A SIZE 2 FAT?!

Anyways.. She’s perfect! I love her! She is definitely someone to watch! I wonder what she’ll wear at the next red carpet event!

Also, just want to give a shout out to the BEAUTIFUL Emma Stone! The other favorite I was talking about before! LOVE HER SO MUCH! She’s hilarious! Another person I wish I knew personally.

I mean look at her! Flawless. Definitely another person to watch in Hollywood! CANNOT wait for Gangster Squad this weekend!!!!! She’ll be amazing, I’m sure.

Emma Stone Soooooooo, I just wanted to rant about my favorite actresses! I thought I should share it with you guys! Who are your Hollywood favorites?!

Anyways! I’ll see you guys tonight at 8 PM CST!! Auction tonight!! Click HERE!

Get Your Pastel Fix

InStyle's December Issue Pastel Feature

InStyle’s December Issue Pastel Feature

So we’ve been introduced to the trends of 2013, but the runways didn’t include everything this year… Have you guys been seeing all the pastels when you’ve been out shopping?? It’s kind of hard to miss. I LOVE the colors! They’re so girly and soft, feminine. I think they’re a nice addition to 2013′s fashion outlook! I mean I saw an article about pastels in December’s issue of InStyle, but they claimed it was more of a winter look. Seems to me, pastels have pushed their way to join us in the spring too. I’m looking forward to this new color palette! I’m always looking for something to add to my closet! ;)

What does it mean about all the bright neon colors we’ve grown to love?! Or the ones I’ve loved for FOREVER and were just recognized last year? NO WORRIES. They’re here to stay this year!!! Like we said before you can still use those bright neons to pair with your new metal work that I’m sure you’ll collect this year.

Can you wear pastel and neon together? My answer… IT DEPENDS! I think if you did it right, it could totally work! Don’t push out all those bright, bold, electric colors to make room for all the soft, girly pastels! It’s completely unnecessary! You never want to make a purchase only to make use of it for ONE season. Not everything is a fad! The key to staying on top of trends is to learn how to mix the old with the new. For example, I kind of like the idea of wearing some mint green skinny jeans with a nice neon yellow sheer top! Maybe a nice white bubble necklace and some metal work arm candy to accessorize! MIX THE OLD WITH THE NEW! It’s the key!!!! Welcome these new colors as an exciting challenge to refresh this year’s wardrobe! It will be money well spent for sure!!

Pastels have paved their way to clothing, accessories, and make up! You can literally mix it in however you like best! That’s the beauty of fashion! You can shape it to your own personal style, so that it works for you!!

Trendy in 2013

Here is what we are hearing from the fashion runways for 2013…

There will be a very big “back to basics” theme, which includes black and white colors and lots of stripes.  The black and white is personally a favorite of ours here at NYZ MODA! Why you ask?… well you can literally accessorize it any way you want!! And you know we LOVE to accessorize!!

Black and White

Back to Basics! Don’t be afraid to keep it simple! Black and white is never out of style!!

Now, when I noticed the stripes on the runways, it reminded me of a late afternoon in the Hamptons, lounging on my private yacht enjoying the sun…well at least that’s what I think it would be like…  In real everyday life, the stripes whether black and white (which there seems to be MANY of) or nautical themed is a trend that can carry over for many seasons and years which is a plus for your wardrobe! And, it just reminds me of the days of Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn and their oh so classy and timeless look! (Great Style Icons)

 Stripes

There were also some floral as well as prints that well honestly are a necessity sometimes…I mean who doesn’t want to feel cute and carefree in your favorite floral print dress or shirt or pant suit (yup we just said it…pant suit…which honestly looks very beachy resort style and so cute with a nice pair of wedges).

Floral

Never thought I’d like this look…but I LOVE IT!

Another trend…LEATHER!! …. while leather is not a favorite.  The runways were booming with leather looks…from your basic leather pants to dresses to shirts and some very daring coats.  And while I personally can’t do leather, I think it is a look that (if done the right way) can be fantastic! It makes a statement on its own and is a powerhouse!

Leather

Leather, Leather, EVERYWHERE!

Sequins are out. Be creative!!

There are more than just sequins, you know..

The overall feeling I got from the runways and just kind of searching around is that you can create an absolutely fabulous look without overdoing it with sequins, sequins and more sequins.  Now, that doesn’t mean we won’t be seeing sequins ever again, it just means that we can be more creative in the way we showcase all that bling.  Sparkles will always be a girl’s best friend.. I mean who really doesn’t like to feel like they’re walking the red carpet sometimes…but creating a fabulous look with the right sparkle this year is about making it as easy as possible whether it’s collar embellishments or funky patterns mixed in with some beading.

The big color of the year which I’m sure you have heard or will now be hearing about…….(drumroll please) ….is EMERALD GREEN!!! which please give me a moment while I shout with joy… YES!!! WOOHOOO!! I LOVE IT!! ….okay, so back to what I was saying, emerald green is literally one of my FAVORITE colors! I think why I find it so appealing is because well you can wear it no matter if you are a red head, blonde or brunette.  It is in my opinion a universal color that needed to be recognized..so thank you fashion world!!

Emerald Green

Emerald Green will be everyone’s new favorite color this year!

Now to our favorite part……. Jewelry!!!!

The jewelry and accessories we see in 2013 will continue to include all the bright and fun colors that are just so eye catching and ELECTRIC! but also some black and white, which like the apparel, can come in many different forms, stripes, and patterns. I personally love white jewelry in the summers!..it just makes me feel sooo..…TAN! haha! ;)

Also, a newer and more updated trend for jewelry will be “all that metal fun” which includes all of our amazing metals and some metallic..from gold to silver to rose gold and more!  What we absolutely LOVE about this is that you can mix your other accessories from past seasons…like your neon bracelets with metal or metallic pieces like a cuff or bracelet to create a fun and unique piece that has been updated for the season.  Some of the my favs have been MK’s rose gold watches which are beautiful! and some fabulous metal cuffs! So easy to wear!

Heavy Metal

What is so awesome about accessorizing this year is that you can create so many interesting and unique pieces JUST FOR YOU!! Just in the way you wear them together or what you pair them with! It makes every outfit special and different.

Arm Candy

Arm Candy Lovin’

…….. it’s baaaaackkkk……….or in this case……..still here! ARM CANDY or ARM LOVE or STACKED or whatever people like to call it. Basically mixing all types of bracelets, bangles, cuffs, a watch etc to create your own statement. It is still here and going strong. It will continue to be big within the next year whether it’s mixing huge chunky color pieces or mixing smaller bracelets and bangles…which to put it simply…WE LOVE!!! I know we have already said this many times but being able to have some sort of arm style is just so UNIQUE and makes every person’s personal style noticeable. AND I love this! I love to see what clever thing someone will think of that I would never have put together. It creates and emphasizes every person’s creativity and style whether it’s simple, bold, fun, trendy, or just whatever!

There’s so much to work with this year! No doubt we’ll all stay trendy in 2013! See you guys tonight at 8 PM CST! Didn’t you hear? It’s auction timeee!!
