Did everyone/anyone watch the Emmy's last night?  Jimmy Fallon was hilarious.  Especially loved the opening segment that was both pre-taped and live.  (Plus the impersonations of Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, & Green Day).  I wasn't too happy about Lost not winning any awards (they were robbed!), but this is a fashion blog, not an awards show rant blog.  Fashion on the red carpet last night ranged from the extremely odd to the extremely gorgeous.  Here are, in my opinion, the 5 best and the 5 worst dresses:  


BEST










The Project Runway host looks gorgeous and glowing as usual, though did she look in the mirror before she left the house?  Yes, her look is polished, but a mini dress such as this is far from appropriate for a mother for four, let alone a family-friendly awards show.  Her toned gams look great, of course, but the dress is still a couple inches too short.

August is nearly over -- can you believe it?  I certainly can't.  But, like I've said in previous posts, you don't need to hide your fashionable self when temperatures cool down.  Especially at work, where you want to be stylish yet appropriate.  Of course, every workplace is different, though hopefully yours is not the one where you are required to wear a uniform.  If it is, I'm sorry :(  If it's not, then you've come to the right place!!

Yikes, is it almost fall already?  Instead of dreading the cooler weather, why not prepare for the eons of fashionable opportunities that await us.  Now's also a good time to buy yourself a new fall bag, and sometimes it may be worth the splurge for a leather tote that will last you until the end of the year.  And possibly longer.

I know I just talked about summer outfits in my last post, but summer will be over sooner than we'd like it to be -- but that doesn't mean we have to stop wearing some of our favorite summer pieces, like floral dresses and pretty purses.  In fact, fall is one of the best times to be creative with your outfits, because layering provides you with a plethora of options for being stylish.  You need only look to your favorite celeb fashionista for ideas.  But I'll help you too.
