Best of The Red Carpet Summer 2011

There was no telling what films would smash and which would flop this Summer at the box office, but the red carpet (or blue, or black carpet) was full of surprise hits, unexpected designers, and spot on wearable trends. Here are my favorite, and most memorable looks of the Summer.

At London premiere of the last instalment of Harry Potter Emma Watson did not disappoint fans or followers of fashion in the Oscar de la Renta gown with a hand beaded bodice and a full tulle skirt. 

The Smurfs was the surprise hit of the summer, the only explainable reason I can come up with is this perfect Pop art dress by none other that Jean Charles de Castlebejac of whom Katy has been a longtime muse. This was certainly the Summer of Mrs. Brand, and this dress was perfect on the BLUE carpet.

Olivia Wilde teased with us with the side boob in this stunning Gucci gown at the London premiere of Cowboys vs. Aliens. This gown perfectly combines multiple fall runway trends. 

The New York premiere of Friends with Benefits was a fashionably flat red black carpet until Hollywood's freshest redhead Emma Stone stepped onto it in a perfectly color blocked dress by obvious favorite designer Tom Ford, paired with nude heels, and this seasons IT hair style. 

Yoü And I is here!!!

I was thrilled to wake up this morning to a tweet from Mother Monster that simply read "Fuck Thursday". Unless you have been living under a rock (or if you are not a fan, but who isn't at this point?) you know that the much anticipated release of the Yoü and I video was scheduled for Thursday.

Aa quickly as possible I logged onto gagadaily.com, and there it was!

And being the cloths horse she is, it is of course filled with designer duds, here is a breakdown of almost every look in the video courtesy of Yoü and I stylist, none other than Nicola Formachetti's blog.

I (still) love Lucy, xoxo

When I was young I loved staying up late to watch I LOVE LUCY on Nick at Night. I remember fondly waking my sleeping family unable to contain my laughter watching the Vitametavegamin episode, and to this day I have not laughed so hard in my life.

When I was 13 my family took a trip to HOLLYWOOD where I collected as much LUCY memorabilia as I could get my hands on: post cards, posters, figurines,  books, you name it. I have never given up my collection, forgotten the laughter, or flinched in my adoration of the actress. And now as I sit writing this blog in my apartment overlooking Hollywood boulevard I owe an overwhelming amount of gratitude to her for inspiring me to live a life less ordinary.

Happy 100th Birthday Lucy! 

What a view for the Ladies of THE VIEW

Today Lady GAGA joined the ladies of the View as a guest host. Of course it was just an extended interview of the pop star, but I doubt anyone watching was disappointed. They discussed the death of Amy Winehouse, Gaga's own drug use history (hinting of her marijuana use), and fashion followed by a brilliant performance of Gaga's latest single Yoü and I. 

Gaga was covered head to to in Salvatore Ferragamo's Fall 2011 ready to wear hounds tooth, even her piano was covered by the designers print. 

The anticipation for the Yoü and I video is growing!!!
