Golden Globe Award | Poppy's Style

I’m sitting here watching the Golden Globes red carpet – gee I wish I could wear a full length gown someday! The last time I wore one was probably at my graduation ball in 1992! I’ll pick some more of my favorites to share tomorrow but right now I am loving all the nude blush tones that I am seeing.

I love Michelle Dockery’s Oscar De La Renta dress:

Lupita Nyong’O blew me away in this statuesque red dress with cape – no overwhelming jewelry – just tiny earrings and a couple of rings. So stunning.

I have to say Lena Dunham totally rocked it – and as uncomfortable as she claims to be on the red carpet – she is a pure gem. I cannot wait to see the first episode of the new series of Girls tonight!

So as I watch the A listers arrive with Poppy – who happens to be the BEST ‘love it or hate it’ critic (she isn’t backwards in coming forwards!) – I thought I’d do a quick update on my weekend attire.

Friday was spent running errands but I was still inspired to wear a dress – even if it was a sweater dress. In fact I love my 5050s so much that I have been planning whole outfits from the feet up.

Boots – Stuart Weitzman 5050 black suede // Dress – AllSaints (old – similar here) // Jacket – AllSaints Monument jacket // Tights – Marks and Spencer

Saturday I was fortunate to hang out with Hugh all day while Poppy went swimming with her Dad. Hugh and I did some shopping at Whole Foods, cooked Korean beef short ribs, and then played LOTS of rounds of cards – the boy is obsessed and I am over it. This was one of those days though where I got dressed and LOVED how I felt – every time I wear these Mango jeans I can’t help but feel like a rock chick. Chrissie Hynde eat your heart out.

Boots – Rag & Bone Newbury classic black // Jeans – Mango // T-shirt – Zara (old) // Cardigan – AllSaints (old) // Scarf – H&M (old)

Today we headed out for lunch. After the Polar Vortex last week we are now basking in 60 degree sunshine – it won’t last. Following on with the rock vibe from yesterday, I really wanted to try something different today, so the flares came out. I loved wearing them – they really are great for leg lengthening! It was fun to have bell bottoms swishing around my ankles for a change.

Hope you all had a fun weekend too! Any sale bargains bagged?

Geez where’s my ark? Half the time here we talk about surviving a drought, but after yesterday I think the reservoirs will be full again. In fact we woke to flood warnings, trees down and power outages. The rain is set to continue – good prep for England next week!

I watched some of the Grammys last night and enjoyed sharing a few thoughts over Twitter #Grammys. Florence Welch and Adele looked amazing and represented England well. Miranda Lambert looked like a train wreck and sounded worse. Justin – I’m sorry I’m still trying to understand what all the fuss is about – yes you’re talented, but not my cup of tea. Rihanna looked and sounded amazing though I still question her taste in men. It makes me irate in fact. Oh as did the gratuitous high five and back slapping for Jay-Z when his wife took the stage – is it just me or is it really derogatory to do that? After my late night on Saturday I had to DVR the second half so will maybe be less critical when I watch that this evening. Twitter is a great place to follow such events – like with the Golden Globes too – I wonder if the Sate of the Union tweets tomorrow night will be as funny? Maybe not.

Florence in custom Givenchy

Miranda in a way too short sequin dress.

Rihanna and Chris Brown – 4 years ago he beat her up.

Today I opted for something a little less red carpet, and looking at it now I think I should have added a piece of color. The tweed jacket is an old Boden favorite. It’s worn over a J.Crew khaki long-sleeved tee, with an H&M long sleeve linen tee layered over it, with a khaki Zara scarf. The jeans are Hudson Collin, the boots are Vince Camuto Autumn, and the glasses are Oliver People Wacks in tortoise shell/black.

I made the mistake this morning of ‘browsing’ the net-a-porter.com site and look what they just got a shipment of here in the US – perfect with shorts in the summer here in Atlanta – mmmmm…

So what were your thoughts on the Grammys? Anyone raise your eyebrow?
