Five Fashion Life Lessons that Award Season Reminds us of.


It’s here! The best dressed time of year… Award season! Award season officially kicked off last week with the Golden Globes and it did not disappoint. So many beautiful dresses and faces with so little time to enjoy them. We wish award season was all year! Award season reminds us of some very important fashion do’s and don’t that can be translated into our daily lives. Below are some of the lessons we are reminded off every award season…

1. Fit is the most important part of any outfit. If it doesn’t fit right don’t buy it. Fit is everything when it comes to fashion. Lena Dunhman reminded us of this at the Golden Globes in Zac Posen. The dress itself is beautiful and the bold color really pops, unfortunately so does she…out of the top of the dress.  


2.  Always dress appropriately. Know the dress code. If the attire is formal wear formal. Looking underdressed will always affect your credibility.  Meryl Streep was guilty of this at SAG awards and Audrey Plaza at the Golden Globes. Meryl looks like she is going to dinner and Aubrey looks like she is a bridesmaid, neither looked like they were on a Red Carpet at a prestigious award ceremony.




3.  Less is more. Too much going on in an outfit is distracting and hard to look at.  Zoe Saldana is beautiful but everyone is too busy trying to figure out what is going on with her dress to even notice. Strapless off shoulder? Sheer paneling with jewels? More jewels on the bodice. AH! Same goes for Tine Fey. The structure of her Carolina Herrera dress is fierce but the pattern is confusing Flamingos? Hearts?  Keep it simple!









4  4. Don’t be afraid of a little color. Don’t be afraid to be bold, even if it is just an accessory.  Never underestimate the power of a pop of color… it catches the eye. Lupita Nyong’o has really proved that point this award season in her beautiful Golden Globes Ralph Lauren gown and in Gucci at the SAG Awards.  


And Finally......

5. Laugh at least once every day! Life is short and no one gets out alive… Taking a moment to laugh is fun and reminds us to never take ourselves too seriously. Thank you Emma Stone for reminding us of that at the SAG awards. Her red carpet photo bombs and hilarious presenter speech kept the evening fun!
