Cate Blanchett is nothing if not dependable. Hers was probably the most classically Old Hollywood of all of the ensembles that I chose, but I don't begrudge her it. She's been working a more classic look this awards season, but given the fact that she's traditionally a risk-taker who pulls over avant garde looks with ease, I'll let her be. Her nude, embroidered Giorgio Armani gown topped off with a blonde wavy bob was giving major Grace Kelley. If the dress had been strapless--as I think most designers would have done--it would have bored me, but the invisible skaters neckline added another level of drama to this sweet look.

Drama and glamour were on hand with Charlize Theron's bold black Dior gown. The deep plunge of the neckline looks to flay up into spiked cups, but there are actually nude straps on the dress, which makes the whole look less severe. Helping to soften things are the sheer inlays in the skirt, and the nude, romantic makeup.

I LOVE this dress. When Jennifer Garner walked onstage to present an award, her fringe tassels swayed back and forth in perfect motion. I usually don't like a platform lift on a heel, but I think it modernizes the very Downton Abbey look of her Oscar de la Renta shift, without taking away from the fun factor of the whole look. Also, is anyone prettier than Jennifer Garner? I think not.

If I had to make a list of most fashionable celeb, Kelly Osbourne probably wouldn't even spring to mind. But the sleek line of this white Badgley Mischka column gown topped with an embroidered and embellished capelet is pretty much perfection. I immediately thought of Jennifer Lopez's Zuhair Murad gown at the 2011 Golden Globes, but this number is so much classier. The white plays off of her purple hair perfectly, and the while look manages to do the impossible: slimming a woman in white.

I want to give Kerry Washington an award for even attempting those heels at this point in her pregnancy. Once your bump gets this big, it's hard to find anything remotely flattering. Anything that shows off the bump also shows off your expanding behind, expanding thighs, expanding hips, and, well, you get the picture. This purple Jason Wu gown utilizes draping perfectly to highlight her burgeoning bump and hide other areas she might not want to show Romantic curls and blood red lips and nails complete the look.

Lupita Nyong'o has nailed it this awards season. Every look as been head-to-toe perfection, and last night was no exception. The Oscar-winner has been donning lots of column and shift dresses, so this sky blue Prada gown was a welcome change. The belt placed at her natural waist separates a DEEP plunging neckline (more sweet than sexy given her chest size) and flowing layers of chiffon. The look was topped off with a cute headband, which further served to soften the overall ensemble.

As the due date fast approaches, there are a million little things we need to get ready before baby comes. Most of the large furniture is already in her nursery, we've picked out a stroller, car seat and pump, and now we're just waiting until after the shower to fill in the blanks. One thing that I haven't decided on is a diaper bag. It's something that, as soon as we start leaving the house for daily walks, park trips and appointments, I'll be using everyday. Like, everyday for the next few years, so it's kind of an important decision. I'd like to find a happy medium between not busting the bank and not looking like I'm carrying around an ugly old diaper bag. Here are some contenders:

I know I've been awful about posting. The pregnancy had me busy and then Charlie got very, very sick, but my hope is that I can post more regularly now! Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

The temperatures finally dipped below 70 for the entire day today--perfect weather for layering! I love a big wool sweater or a button-up cardigan, but sometimes you want to look a little more glammed up. An easy way to achieve a glam look on a small budget--and stay warm this fall--is by wearing a faux fur vest.

About a month ago I bought a pair of black harem pants. As a curvy girl, sometimes it's hard to find pants that fit every part of my body. And as someone who likes to eat second dinner, I need a little growing room. So this pair of pants (which, by the way, are made of sweat pant material), is perfect for me. But how do you wear them without looking like a homeless genie? Find out below!

Last night was one of my favorite nights of the year... the Emmy's! Those who know me know that I watch more television than anyone you'll ever meet, so this is basically my Super Bowl/Halloween/Christmas all rolled into one. And as much as I tune in to see my favorite shows rewarded (and snubbed), I'm also there for the fashion.

This year women seemed to move away from the nods to Old Hollywood glamour that have filled red carpets for the past few awards seasons and took the 90s explosion right into gowns. Feminine pinks and reds worked right alongside this years black and white trend, and many of the gowns would have looked just as at home resting on the macrobiotic-fed, Yoga-toned bods of 90s It-Girls like Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder and Lara Flynn Boyle.

I'm excited about this shift in red carpet glam. I love a good Hayworth wave, but new silhouettes and bold patterns (not to mention more than a few adorable bobs) make watching the pre-show so much more fun! Without further ado, here are my top 10 dresses for the night.

I spent the day doing deep cleaning in my apartment, blogging, and doing various home improvement projects around the house. And while I needed to be comfy for all of that, I didn't need to look frumpy. This outfit was the perfect combination--just as stretchable as it is cute. The zipper detail on this sweatshirt brings it just a bit of edge and adding some metallic jewelry (a geode necklace and handmade bracelet) keep the look from being too gym-rat. And what's the easiest solution to glamming up any outfit? Throw on a thick black liner and a subtle smokey eye.

Most of my week has been consumed with projects pertaining to my bedroom remodel. So that explains the spotty blog posts--but it also means there will be an in-progress bedroom reveal coming soon! When we got back from our weddingpalooza there were boxes and boxes of things I had ordered for the bedroom, and that took a few days in and of itself to sort through. When I had them organized I marched my butt down to the hardware store and ordered up some black paint for the accent wall. I am SO happy with how it looks with all of the white furniture.

 I had a bunch of pics I hand't showed off from our vacay, so I threw those up and shared them with the world. I rented the runway once again and wore a Haute Hippie dress to Erin and Marc's wedding. Grant loved it on me, and especially liked the soft curls I had in my hair. I like the way it showed off my ginormous boobies. Let's be real ladies, the ONLY good part about gaining weight is getting Pam Anderson-sized honkers, and mine are about as big as my head at this point. I'm working on getting them (and the rest of me) smaller, but I sure will miss 'em.

Boo always manages to look dapper in a suit, as do the rest of those Rogers boys. They're all so tall and visually impaired. Gives me hope for that offensive line I'm hoping to raise one day.

Jonathan and I hit up Therapy last week. I love a good disco ball and the DJ is good before it gets too late. Plus, they have food during the week and you know I like a bar where they'll deliver food to me. Speaking of food, Grant and I celebrated our courthouse anniversary yesterday. We were married by a classically Brooklyn-ite man in a mustache, and it was amazing. He got insurance for the year. I got a great meal at Arriba Arriba in Morningside Heights a year later. Win-win.

Later on in the week my shipment of IKEA furniture came and I got to start on my epic vanity build. I painted and stained and installed hardware and installed the table and then Homer saw himself in the mirror and just stared and stared. See those lucite makeup organizers? They. Are. Everything.

Pumpkin spice things are back. Everything is happening in my life.

Here is NYC we just wrapped up another Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. It's always a fun time in the city, especially if you have a chance to check out what the city's chic and stylist wear to see and be seen. If you don't live here or you don't work in fashion, you might know that the week is packed with events. There are the shows at the tents (the official MBFW shows), then there are hundreds of off-site shows. Most of these also have after parties, as well as book signings, blogger events, website popups, magazine fetes, and the list goes on and on.

This year I had the opportunity to attend the launch of OK! TV, held at Lavo. I used to work at the magazine and there were tons of reality stars there, so the whole thing was amazing. And while I didn't actually attend any shows, I followed them all online... and loved so much of what I saw.

Below you'll find three of my favorite looks from my Top 10 S/S 2014 Collections... and a few extra from Jenny Packham because, I mean, come on.
