Replacing the faces of Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2012 campaign, Candice Swanepoel and Katryn Kruger, Wen and Nielson don 60s inspired bee-hive’s and cat eyes for the lace filled Spring 2013 campaign.
As a crazy fan of de la Renta I encourage you to take in the collection in its entirety by watching the runway show below. Enjoy.
Red Carpet Fashion: The 70th Golden Globe Awards
Last night was The 70th annual Golden Globe Awards, which fashion aside tends to be my favourite awards show of the season. I loved the more relaxed vibe with the round tables and drinks flowing. Overall the celebrities seem to be having a lot more fun, this could be due to the flowing drinks but nevertheless. The year The Golden Globe Awards completely knocked out the competition and was most definitely the best one in years, this was largely in part due to hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler who were funny, quick and a joy to watch. Honourable humorous mentions go to Sasha Baron Cohen who with a drink in hand while he dissed his co stars and Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell’s bit as well as Jennifer Lawrence and Adele’s adorable and funny winning speeches.
Now to the part I always love the most, the beautiful gowns of the Globes. Here are my picks for the ladies that stood out the most this year in a good way (excluding my pick for best dressed of the evening).
Jennifer Lawrence
- Dons a Christian Dior Fall 2012 Couture gown which is not surprising as she is the new face of Dior. Her red carpet hued gown was accented by simply a metallic belt and box clutch.
Jessica Alba
- Choose a gown from Oscar de la Renta’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection and paired it with a Harry Winston diamond bib necklace and Roger Vivier ‘Pochette Prisme Poodle’ clutch. Unlike Nicole Richie, Jessica managed to make matching her makeup to her gown not look weird. I could have done without the bling but overall she looked stunning.
Kerry Washington
- Wore a nude, semi-sheer embellished Miu Miu dress paired with Prada pointy toed pumps and a Prada satin clutch. I think that Kerry may officially be one of my favourite woman to watch on the red carpet this year after all of her fantastic looks during her promo tour for ‘Django Unchained’. I cannot wait to see what she wear to the Oscars.
Lucy Liu
- Now, a lot of people were not a fan of this floral print Carolina Herrera Pre-Fall 2013 ball gown but I for one think it is simply amazing. The fit makes her tiny waist look amazing, the ski blue hue against her skin is beautiful and her fishtail braid over her shoulder compliments the look perfectly.
Amanda Seyfried
- Wore a floor length Givenchy Couture custom-made gown in a nude hue with sheer lace panels paired with long light waves and simple makeup. I love how ethereal she looks after all of the edgy dramatic appearances she has made as of late.
Anne Hathaway
- I am not the biggest fan of Anne, but when it comes to the red carpet she rarely disappoints. This year she wore a winter white Chanel Couture piece from the Spring 2006 collection. Of wearing Chanel she was quoted as saying that she “feels like herself” in Chanel. Must be nice Anne.
Tina Fey
- Finally Tina Fey has brought it and looks 100% put together for a red carpet and when it counted to most. The brunette half of the hosting team for this years show wore a custom L’Wren Scott cream silk dress with black Chantilly lace embroidery and a scalloped hemline. The look was accessorized by a Roger Vivier clutch and Ferragamo black pumps.
Who were your favourites of the evening?
- Oscar de la Renta
- Pre-Fall 2013
This week has seen a lot of stunning collections from designers for pre-fall 2013, however nothing can ever quite compare to the beauty that is anything created by mister Oscar de la Renta.
As always the collection was ladylike, ultra feminine and luxurious yet this time we saw Oscar play with a new silhouette comprised of long a-line skirts and trousers with high waists that were outfitted with thick belts and paired with matching jackets or soft shirts. The heavy embellishments and jewels that were prevalent in both his spring 2013 and fall 2012 collections were kept at a minimum and left as accessories such as necklaces, broaches and belts. Tweed, silk, chiffon, georgette, chambray, and organza came in turquoise, dusty pink, apricot, beige, black and burgundy tones.
My only complaint would have to be the novelty patterned tights that were featured in many of the looks as they were distracting and felt a bit too young. However, this complaint is instantly forgotten after glazing at the stunning gowns that you may click here to admire.
I consistently have a very difficult time trying to pick my favourite looks from Oscar’s collections to post so I highly encourage you to click here and watch the show and see them all.
Let us take a moment to appreciate the lovely gowns from Oscar de la Renta’s pre-fall 2013 collection.
I usually stick to using my Macbook Pro for pretty much everything but I do have a desktop that I used to use all the time. Today I found myself on it trying to find something and came across a ton of old photos that never saw the light of day from events, runway shows, vacations and parties that I have attended over the past two years.
The photo above I snapped at Oscar de la Renta’s fall 2011 runway show during New York Fashion Week. Daphne Groeneveld just looked so adorable and fresh on the runway that I couldn’t resist. I am so glad that her career has gone in the direction it has and I cannot wait to see her success continue into 2013.

I adore Candice and I have loved what I have seen from Katryn but I am not sure how I feel about the South African beauties being cast together. They each look lovely, I mean how could they not in such stunning designs? But I am unsure about them being cast together and how they really mesh in the images. Aside from that I think for the first campaign to not feature Karlie Kloss in five seasons looks pretty spectacular. I fell in love with the pastel and jewel screen garments when I first saw them sashay down the runway in February and I must say that I love them just as much today.
Oscar, you can do no wrong.
By the way, I encourage you to click play below if you have not seen the collection in full on the runway and to click here if you want to see me previously over gushing about my true love, Oscar.

Anyone who even reads my blog semi regularly knows very well my vast love of Oscar de la Renta. Every time I sit down to review one of his brilliant collections my review turns into a gushy entry about my school girl level crush on his garments. Well if you expected anything different this time around you are sadly mistaken because nothing makes me feel weaker in the knees than his artistically crafted gowns.
After looking through the collection the first thing that popped into my mind was the bridal tradition of ”something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” and this unmistakable pattern that could be found throughout its entirety. The gowns had features reminiscent of decades past with Oscar’s signature vintage ornate lace and crochet detailing alongside dropped waists, long sheer gloves and vintage style jewels. “Something blue” was the token pop of colour for this collection in organza, silk, tulle such as the blue satin faced organza train on the white floral guipure gown. Being a lover of the popular high slit I fell in love with the ivory silk chiffon drape gown that was accented by only the branch of fresh white flowers held by the model. Another show stopper had to be the fun little feathered shrug that was paired with the voluminous organza gown with a sweetheart neckline and sheer long gloves.
Just another eye popping collection full of stand out pieces that make me want to turn into that slightly crazed girl with a bridal scrap book at 22 years old.

Oscar de la Renta is the king of femininity. Everything he does is for a woman, he makes her feel beautiful and strong. He has dedicated his life to this and has remained timeless in the process. The way he has managed to stay on top and relevant for all of these years is completely inspiring. He consistently creates garments that are not only classic and ladylike but fresh and new. His campaigns always feature the best of the up and coming models and has embraced the online world like no other designer of his stature. With the efforts of the OscarPRGirl “brand” he has emerged on all major social networking and media websites and gained an unprecedented following. By streaming his runway shows each season live via the internet he has managed to draw in an entirely new audience and made fashion something that anyone can access and appreciate. A man for all seasons, ages and times - Oscar de la Renta is at the top of his gain and is showing no sign of slowing down.
Now that I have completely gushed about the designer lets have a look at this seasons collection. Setting the base for the runway show the models had their hair swept up and combed back into faux bobs and kept neat with jewel encrusted ribbons. Dewey fresh skin and youthful pink cheeks offset the white and black fishnets that each and every model wore. The most adorably girlie shades of bubble gum pink, cotton candy blue and the best greens (because Oscar really does the best greens as noted time and time again) were featured on most garments while black pieces featured luxurious jewel toned printed on gems. Each piece felt distinctly fairytale like and was accessorized by either an exquisite cocktail ring, delicate yet bold necklace or statement earrings. Chunky beading featuring bits of lace and pearls were clustered on jackets and 60s inspired sophisticated dresses. One thing that should definitely be noted is that the smiles on most of the models faces showed just how much they were enjoying themselves, evidently another effect of working with Oscar.

Time to appreciate the gowns because really, Oscar knows gowns.
Time to share with you my best dressed of the night at this evenings SAG Awards. Emma was my ultimate dream paired with McQueen, Givenchy couture made its first trip over seas and a daring jumpsuit left some people saying ‘nay’ but left me saying ‘yay’. Lastly there was Emily Blunt in Oscar (no one does green like Oscar and boy can she wear green).
- Emma Stone in Alexander McQueen
- Zoe Saldana in Givenchy Haute Couture
- Rose Byrne in Elie Saab

* Special Mention to Amber Heard for looking fine as hell from the neck down (hair was a big old mess) and to Kaley Cuoco for looking incredible from the waist up (anyone else think the bottom looked like an octopus?)
