Fall 2010 Trends pt4: Golden Opulence

Think extravagence, royal and rich hues. Baroque inspirations. All these are keywords to describe this trend which was embraced strongly by designers. The best way to translate this trend is to keep everything else neutral and let the clothes make the statement. Try buying brocades, golden coloured frocks and sequins which will help you incorporate this into your wardrobe.

Rochas does it 70s style

Take cue from Just Cavalli and mix brocade pants with leather jackets for a super edgy look

Fashion Critic: My Top Ten 2010 Emmys' Looks

Maria Menounos looks amazing in her custom made Ralph & Russo gown embellished with 15,000 swarovski crystals. Love the makeup and hairdo as well.

Lea Michele is a vision in her ruffled navy Oscar de La Renta. The star pairs her gown with gorgeous statement jewels and sexy curls. Perfect!

Kim Kardashian never fails to show her curves in the right way. Here she looks like a grecian goddess in her white and gold Marchesa, rightfully adding a braided soft updo that complements her look perfectly along with the gorgeous diamond accessories.

January Jones certainly provided us with some drama in her blue Atelier Versace gown. The dress is a masterpiece but i would have loved to see her pair it with some jewellery and different shoes, i feel these black heels don't do the dress justice. The hair is also too simple for this look. But nevertheless i would say this is one of the best Emmy looks.

Jayma Mays looks ravishing in this navy blue Burberry gown paired with gold jewels and a shimmering black clutch. Love the detail on the dress!

Anna Paquin arrived in the most unique dress of the Emmys. Her Alexander McQueen golden armored gown has this tough chic edge to it and stands out as a statement gown.

Even though this look has been done repeatedly, Clair Danes manages to give it a fresh and beautiful vibe. Her swarovski crystal Armai Privé gown along with her goegeous bronzed glow make her a shimmering vision! Behold those gorgeous lashes which Danes credits to Latisse!

I am usually not a big fan of Kelly Osbourne's red carpet choices but i have to admit she nailed it at the Emmys with this gorgeous Tony Ward gown that emphasized her tiny waist and makes her look like a dark mermaid. I am not loving the hairdo at all though, i wish she went with a softer do.

Jennifer Carpenter dazzles in her one shoulder dark sequined Oday Shakar dress. She kept everything else simple with just a pair of diamond earrings. Love the look.

Rose Byrne opted for a stunning Gucci gown. The gold trim and center slit give this gown a modern vibe. Kudos for her choice and for knowing how to accessorize it.

Style Crush: Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore seems to be sprucing up her style these days, I am really impressed by the number of outfits she has been sporting lately which seem to be taking a tough chic approach. This look in particular is gorgeous, I love the McQueen clutch which i have blogged about HERE before.

Styling with N : Feathers

This season, we have seen feathers on the runways frequently and I am always asked how to wear them in a way that is stylish and less costume-y. I personally love the look of feathers, they add this fashion forward statement if done right. Here is a look i compiled as a styling suggestion on how to do feathers right.

Top : Madison Marcus available at Blush Boutique

Jeand: Current/Elliott available at Shopbop

Bag: Foley + Corrina 'city tote' available at Blush Boutique

Ring: Dannijo

Shoes: Alexander Mcueen 'Faithful' open toe booties

Cuff: Roberto Cavalli available at Net-a-Porter

• To Begin with I used this gorgeous feathers top by Madison Marcus from the selection at Blush Boutique as the backbone of the look. The key here is to pick the statement piece and have the rest of your look complement it by keeping it simple.
• I paired the top with this skinny Current/Elliott jean in a dark wash to sort of act like a frame to the top and highlight it.
• A Metallic Bag is really a gorgeous addition to the look, glamming it up. I love this Foley + Corinna city bag from the selection at Blush Boutique. The iconic shape and simplicity pulls up the look.
• The right shoe for this look in my opinion is something that toughens it up, making it sharp and right on trend. Which is why i picked this divine pair by Alexander McQueen, its one of this season's must have militaty booties with their signature skull detail on the zipper. I personally own a pair and find myself adding it to so many outfits to keep them right on trend.
• For accessories, i kept it simple. Mainly a ring and a cuff. I adoreeeee this snake cuff by Roberto Cavalli, the colour really play up against the olive theme.

Thank You McQueen

It is a relief to know that Alexander McQueen the brand will remain, because he started a legacy that he will always be remembered for. For instance, skulls are always attributed to McQueen and will rightly remain so. Now let's talk about my love for this clutch. Two words: Skulls and Studs. Enough said! I can't seem to shake my skull obsession off. I literally collected everything Mr. McQueen stamped his skulls on. The ring, the scarf, ...etc
