Silver Lining

September 22nd, 2008

Trends almost always emerge on the red carpet and last night’s Emmy Awards were no exception. Glittery gowns stole the show and inspired my love for all things shiny and metallic. Here are some fun options that will be sure to add a bit of sparkle to any outfit.

Fendi’s silver and cream scarf is a glamorous option for throwing on over a dress at night. I love its gentle sheen and subtle logo pattern that can only be seen if you get up close.
J.Crew’s metallic herringbone scooter mini is the perfect skirt for Autumn with its frosted color and over sized buttons. Worn with a simple top, I’d pair it with an ornate, jeweled necklace in a bright color.

Marc by Marc Jacobs’s metal check wristlet is such an edgy departure from the designer’s typical preppy style. The hardware and tiny mirrors are kind of out there, but it would make a great clutch for a night out on the town.

    although silver could look quite tacky, those things so seperated definitely don’t overdo it. Although i’d say Evangeline’s dress is not really my favourite..,

    I am clearly in a sequins moment (black running shorts anyone?) and am going back and forth on a pair of silver sequined and hot pink Nikes.

    This post may have pushed me over the edge.

    I love the middle top dress (I don’t know the actress’s name!) I think it’s so lovely on her. I heard this morning it was originally designed for Angeline Jolie but she got pregnant…

    I fell in love with Heidi Klum’s earrings at the Emmys last night, she just looked exquisite. I love silver accents. :)

    I love that Marc Jacobs clutch. It’s so rich and beautiful. But, I think Christina Applegate was my favorite for the Emmy’s. She looked amazing.
