There is so much inspiration to be pulled from the red carpet, and last night proved even more so with the Golden Globes fashion parade.

There were many dominating trends: dramatic backs, sleeves (A Utah fav/must-have), bold Valentine colors (red/pink), nudes and neutrals.

It was a tough task narrowing down our favorites to an acceptable blog post length, so indulge in a few of our top choices:

Claire Danes in J. Mendel -  The modern simplicity and stunning low back

Laura Dern in Andrew Gn – The cut and color are timeless

Charlize Theron in Dior Couture – Sexy, stylish, and soft all in one

Dame Helen Mirren in Badgley Mischka – We pretty much love everything here

Emma Stone in Lanvin – Fashion-forward and perfectly worn.

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace – Simplicity that is bold, rare and classic.

Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci – The complexity of this gown is unreal

Michelle Williams in Jason Wu – Simplicity mixed with luscious fabric won us over

Salma Heyak in Gucci – She was a standout proving the geometry is sexy

Chandler and John were married on a beautiful fall day amidst the valleys and vineyards of Napa, California.

Chandler wore a silk organza Vera Wang gown, and was further adorned with a pair of glittering Paris crystal and pearl drop earrings. John was looking dapper in a custom-made three-piece suit from Beckett & Robb.

The whole amazing affair was coordinated by the ladies of Enjoy Events, Co., and  was captured by W. Scott Chester Photography.

Thank you, Chandler and John, for sharing your special day with us. Congratulations!

The latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings gracefully uses bridal fashion as the centerpiece of the issue.  The pages are teaming with wearable beauty.

What I love, in particular, is the fashion editorial section that showcases Icons of the Aisle. One of their chosen icons is the design duo of Badgley Mischka.  A line added to our boutique earlier this year, we’re already feeling right at home with this glamorous  collection. You’ll love it, as well.

Grab a copy, set aside a few hours, and enjoy.

Their website gives you the chance to go behind the creation and design process. Letting you see first-hand how delicate and intricate these little gems really are.
