I'm cuddled up on my couch watching Halloween movies and getting lost in the lovely world of <a href="http://bit.ly/rB5wAY">Katie Ermilio's Spring collection</a>. I'm experiencing some seasonal confusion. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Roland Mouret's Spring 2012 collection brings the pretty back to dresses. They're simple and sophisticated, and a little vintage - but not in a cheesy way. In a chic Parisian-springtime-stroll-in-the-park way. I'd like to look like that everyday. Seriously.<br />

Growing up in California I never really got to experience fall fully. But in New York? Wow. Plus - on top of all that natural color - add the bring red color trend <i>(as seen full force at the Emmy's)</i> of the fashion world and you get a very VERY colorful season... <br />

<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6202/6157769692_d37f8bc8c2_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6202/6157769692_d37f8bc8c2_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's Emmy night!! And that means a night full of Red Carpet wonder! <i>(who will wear what has always excited me more than who will win what - that's normal, right?)</i> And with the show falling so soon after the Spring collections were presented at NYFW I might not have to wait very long to see my favorite gowns walk the carpet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think we'll see lots of shimmer at this year's show - and a lot of gowns in classic black & white, some in yellows and greens and a few dramatic reds. Here are <i>(just a few of)</i> my favorite gowns from the Spring 2012 runways - and the small screen stars who might rock the looks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6186/6157799140_b88d8854f3_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6186/6157799140_b88d8854f3_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Simple, stunning, sophisticated. These gowns - by <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-RLAUREN">Ralph Lauren</a> and <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-ZPOSEN/">Zac Posen</a> evoke silhouettes of the 20's and 40's and images of classic Hollywood beauties. Who might rock this look? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6067/6157769990_e4f5162183_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6067/6157769990_e4f5162183_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Office star Jenna Fischer and Glee's Diana Agron are perfect candidates for the high-glam style. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/6157799166_c8cbda60ac_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/6157799166_c8cbda60ac_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The emerald hue is not a newcomer to the runway or the Red Carpet, but <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-ZPOSEN/">Zac Posen</a><i> (yes! more Posen!)</i> gave us a few gorgeous interpretations of the shade, ranging from a deep green that recalls visions of the Emerald City to a soft, slightly minty, ethereal gown. Who might rock this look? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6157770210_0fb7cb2d21_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6157770210_0fb7cb2d21_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I can see Glee star Jayma Mays in the deep emerald shade, and Mad Men's Elizabeth Moss would look heavenly in the lighter color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6063/6157255679_2a41ed48d4_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6063/6157255679_2a41ed48d4_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't think anyone would argue the statement that there will be plenty of sequins and glitter on the carpet tonight. In fact - I probably could have done a whole post of just sequined gowns. Some how I managed to narrow it down to these 2 - by <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-JPACKHAM">Jenny Packham</a> and <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-NKHAN">Naeem Khan</a> - that mix glitter and fiery red for a dramatic effect. Who might rock this look? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Glee's Heather Morris would look stunning in the Jenny Packham number, while Christina Hendricks of Mad Men would seriously hit it our of the park in the Naeem Khan.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course, you can't have an awards show without a few ball gowns. So who brought major drama to the Spring Runways? No surprise here - <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-ODLRENTA">Oscar de la Renta</a>, <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-MONIQUE">Monique Lhuillier</a> and <a href="http://www.style.com/fashionshows/review/S2012RTW-JASONWU">Jason Wu</a> showed a few of my favorite high-drama gowns. Who might rock the look? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Lea Michelle has never been on to shy away from drama (or Oscar de la Renta for that matter) I can definitely see her showing up tonight in an ODLR ball gown tonight. And Modern Family's Julie Bowen would look amazing in the Lhuillier <i>(although, I've heard rumors that she's wearing ODLR! Classic drama either way...) </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6077/6157227503_2a993ec119_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
And OKOK, I know January Jones had a baby like 3 days ago and probably won't be walking the carpet - but how good would she look in this Jason Wu? <i>(I'd leave an infant at home for a chance to wear it! Maybe that just proves I'm not ready to be a mother...) </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

That magical time when Lincoln Center fills up with all sorts of excitement, and I find myself in need of a full-blown wardrobe makeover. Here are just a few of my favorite collections that have shown so far this week... Spring is shaping up to be pretty in pink...!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jenni Kayne KILLS it with this casual-chic collection. I pretty much adore everything about it - the navy, the chambray, the knits, the boxy blazers and silver pumps! West Coast style that's cool enough for NYC. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh.my.goodness. It's like we got lost in fairy land and I LOVE IT. Love. It. Super girly scalloped skits and soft pastels = bliss. Jill Stuart is making me want to frolic in a field of wildflowers and snuggle with puppies while giggling and talking about boys. </div>

ADAM's Spring collection is pretty much everything Spring should be - effortless and fresh. Head-to-toe polka dots? Yes please. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do you think it's possible for Jason Wu to get any more brilliant? Because I don't. How stunning is this mix of black, grey, blush and cobalt? It's like perfection tied up with a black leather bow belt. And I can't wait to see those gowns on the red carpet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not sure if I love the giant rose print - it reminds me a little too much of the 90s somehow - but I do love the super saturated colors. And how fun is that zebra print dress? </div>

And so goes the summer... "Officially" at least, we do have a few weeks left according to the sun - but somehow once September starts summer seems long gone.<br />
<br />
And with Fashion Week starting in just a few days, it seems as good a time as any to switch gears.<br />
So long summer! Helllllloooo FALL! Let's talk color, coats and crisp cool days... <br />

Crew catalog arrives the only danger to my wallet is the temptation of a new blazer or pair of slacks. This month however it has me itching to hop a flight to Russia... <i>(plus, clearly, I'll need the new clothes for the journey) </i><br />

I've been kind of <a href="http://bugandbearblog.blogspot.com/2010/11/style-crush-emma-watson.html">obsessed with her style for a while</a>, but lately she has just be KILLING it! Take the Deathly Hallows premiere yesterday: she's stunning in an Oscar de la Renta gown <b>and</b> a sprakly Elie Saab number.<br />

Our new found favorite is <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=23">fennel</a> - so for our first super meal<i> (our capes are arriving any day now...)</i> we picked this recipe from Real Simple: <a href="http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/roasted-fennel-red-onion-salmon-10000001107180/index.html">Roasted Fennel and Red Onion Salmon</a>, with a side of yummy quinoa. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5069/5662583219_7a166abe86_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5069/5662583219_7a166abe86_o.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5190/5663150368_1a98f09c9e_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5190/5663150368_1a98f09c9e_o.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5028/5663150644_e757686607_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5028/5663150644_e757686607_o.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5023/5663150986_4db7c2803a_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5023/5663150986_4db7c2803a_o.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

When it comes to the Oscars, we are genuinely obsessed- with the awards show itself and with the red carpet. In fact, for every time one of us re-works the Oscar prediction ballot, we both will obsess over the fall and spring lines three times more. Who are you wearing? How are you styled? How can we critique you? We'll pop some prosecco and pretend we are Joan and Melissa Rivers (<i>and we will be... someday)</i>. We are the queens of fashion, as far as our living-room is concerned, and a camera might as well be on us, nit-picking every last hair curl. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently we've mastered the red carpet entrance. From the second our "celebs-to-watch" exit their limos, clutches in hand, we yell out the designer. "Oh of course she's in Oscar de la Renta... again YAWN." "Is that Marc Jacobs?" "That has to be vintage Chanel." And off we go. It might be our favorite part of the show. Actually, I think it's safe to say that it definitely is. Two hours into the awards and we're still tweeting about how ridiculous Jennifer Lopez looks... again. So, here are our Oscar predictions 2011.. and no, I don't mean Natalie Portman taking home the little gold man.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're pretty obsessed with Naeem Kahn, how could you not be? And Anne needs to pull out all the stops for her hosting gig- after her Armani Prive at the Golden Globes the bar is set pretty high. Sparkly bodice, feathered skirt? We're sold. Anne- you should be too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5172/5463300971_7acab650e8_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Amy Adams, Claire Danes, Oscar Red Carpet, Monique Lhuillier, Temperley London" border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5172/5463300971_7acab650e8_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Claire Danes <i>(top)</i>, was an all-time favorite at the SAGs. That Louis Vuitton gown was breathtaking-- both on video and in stills. In fact, she has failed to disappoint this year. This Monique Lhuillier stunner, fresh off the Fall 2011 runway, would lock her in as fashion icon of this awards season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Amy Adams is always willing to take a risk, and it doesn't always pan out. Last year she blended with the carpet a little too much- we're pulling for her to go for contrast this year, in Temperley London. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh Sandra, America's sweetheart. She will definitely be at the show this year, to present the new Best Actress trophy. But what will she wear? Sandra's been all over the place recently- in life and in clothing. And we've decided that she should be dressed by Jason Wu for the big night. We both lost it when we saw this work of art come down the runway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We're putting Mila Kunis <i>(top)</i> in a knock-out by Naeem Khan. Mostly because we love the dress and NEED someone to wear it. But also because she'd look pretty damn good in it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next up, Michelle Williams. Lately she seems to enjoy dresses that look like they should be worn only by girls under the age of 12- her <a href="http://justjared.buzznet.com/photo-gallery/2511883/michelle-williams-2011-golden-globes-red-carpet-07/">Golden Globes</a> frock was a prime example- We think this Jason Wu dress will give her the look she loves and turn her back into the the <a href="http://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity-lifestyle/celebrities/exclusives/michelle-williams-style">red-carpet queen we love</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5463191961_75f57f3bb0_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Natalie Portman, Red Carpet, Oscars, Dior, Rodarte, Lanvin, 2011" border="0" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5134/5463191961_75f57f3bb0_o.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And Natalie. All eyes will be on her- and she knows it. She's been playing it chic this year, and deviating from her normal love affair with Rodarte. So we picked this feathered Dior number for her, might as well make it painfully clear what she got the nom for, yes? And a baby bump, the hollywood hot accessory of 2011, would compliment this dress beautifully. </div>
