Red can be a tough color to pull off without looking tarty or cheap. All three famous ladies in this post look fab, in my opinion, donning short red frocks, accessorized with leopard print and taupe pumps, motorcycle jackets, and clutches. But which celeb rocked her Little Red Dress the best? Cast your vote below.

Both MTV Movie Awards and Spike TV Awards were held last weekend, and I missed both. But since, the only thing that really matters are dresses, I don’t mind too much. Both Whitney Port (to MTV) and Scarlett Johansson (to Spike TV) showed up wearing dresses in a similar limey yellow hue, while accessorizing them with taupe shoes/booties. I really love both dresses, and while ScarJo has the star power (Jean Claude Gahd Dam, anyone?), Whitney, in my opinion, has an advantage in the style department. And since I love both looks, I think a poll is in order! Who do you think wins the hue-off this time? Whitney in her Yigal Azrouel mini or Scarlett in the asymmetrical Preen? Vote below!

Browsing at Holts yesterday led to an unexpectedly cute discovery – this Alice + Olivia White Cutout Dress! At just over $300, I am really contemplating getting it…perhaps I’ll wear it to my birhday dinner or something? I absolutely loooove the back of this dress, but do somewhat wish it was in black or something…of course the contrast would be lost, but it would make going braless so much easier!
What do you think? Is this dress worth it?

Wow, with the exception of Coco Rocha’s Zac Posen aqua-delic gown, my other Best Dressed picks are all solids. Oh my! And while I do believe that it’s best to be brave for an event like the Met’s Gala, I cannot help but be drawn and inspired by these ladies (and gentleman). It is my Best Dressed list, after all, so please don’t hate me too much if we don’t see eye to eye.
Rocha’s Zac Posen gown is absolutely beautiful! I think it was a brave pick and I love Coco for it! My all-time fave Diane Kruger in Calvin Klein and her cute boyfriend Joshua Jackson both sizzled on the red carpet, and though her dress is very similar to the one Ashley Olsen wore last year, I think Diane makes it look fresh for 2010 with her minimalistic hair and accessories.
Kerry Washington in Thakoon for Gap looked red-hot, while Rachel Weisz in custom Oscar de la Renta looked so pretty and radiant – I had to include her in the lineup! And finally, Zoe…looking statuesque and gorgeous in her one-shouldered Calvin Klein gown - simplicity never looked better.
Do you agree with my picks? Do you think they are too safe? Sound off in the comments. Next up – the bold and the brave of the Met’s 2010 Gala!

The Met’s Costume Institute Gala is a ball. It is also a candy-shop-like heaven for the fashion lovers, what with beautiful gowns and crème de la crème of celeb world. But when said celebs pick some disastrous outfits to wear on such an important night, it makes me wonder if they did that to get noticed and to stand out from the crowd.
Well, in Katy Perry’s case, one does not need to wonder. A romantic white dress that lights up in the dark screams for attention…and that necklace is all wrong for the neckline of the dress. In my humble opinion, Katy Perry is the fail of the night.
A few other notables are Vera Farmiga in an ill-fitted baby blue Sophie Theallet for Gap fit for a saloon, Malin Ackerman in a not-so-flattering black-and-white dress, complete with blah hair, Elizabeth Banks in a fashion-forward feathered Gucci number that she overaccessorized bringing it from cool to trying-too-hard territory, and last but not least – Carey Mulligan in Miu Miu – cute dress, wrong occasion (plus the color washes out her pretty face).
What do you think about these dresses? Are they the worst of the night or do you have a soft spot for some of them? Sound off in the comments!

I have been looking for one for ages! Not just any old white dress. I have strict requirements, you see. As in the following…I like the sleeves of this dress Becki Newton is wearing. LOVE the sleeves actually. I also love the type of lace this dress is made of – larger pattern of flowers that lets a bit of skin to peek through. My perfect dress is on the shorter side, but not too short that I can’t bend over. It doesn’t have a fringe bottom like Becki’s dress, but probably has a bit of untamed and unhemmed lace instead. My perfect white dress will probably have a square or scoop neck, and the lining will be silk, making it ever-so-comfortable for rolling around the lush green meadows on a hot Sunday afternoon.
Have been searching forever for that perfect boho white lace dress, but so far, I’ve had to settle with a few not-so-worthy replacements that make me want the real deal that much more. Some spend their entire lives trying to find a perfect man…well, to me, the search for that perfect dress is just as complicated.

Ahh, Zoe! She always looks elegant with just the right amount of edge in her outfits! Love this Lanvin dress, love the color on her, and also love the leopard print clutch she chose to go with her dress. Unfussy hairdo completes her simple, yet striking ensemble. Wish I could just slink into a Lanvin piece for a night…so feminine, so beautiful…so unattainable at the moment. Le sigh.

Andy Thê-Anh’s shows are the ones I always look forward to the most. Mainly because I usually love his designs’ flowy, feminine aesthetic, his lovely attention to detail, and the general feeling of being at an actual runway presentation that has something new to show its viewer. Thê-Anh’s Fall 2010 show opened with an ad – something I’ve never seen done before, and it made me cringe initially, but thinking about it now, I’d bet having a fashion show is a costly endeavor, and who am I to judge how someone gets funds to bring his creative vision to life? The good thing was that the ad was actually funny, and once it was done, the real Andy Thê-Anh show started.
As always, there were plenty of looks that I loved – from smoky patterned dresses in blue, to the immaculate suits with such detailing as ruffles and pleats. There was an abundance of maxi pieces, which made me quite happy about that long, dramatic dress I got at H&M for $10! It’s not Andy Thê-Anh, but it’ll do. Elbow length leather gloves, and belted waists completed most looks, which were totally wearable and, yes, feminine. Thê-Anh shows remain one of the hottest tickets in town, and in this case, it is well-deserved, ad or no ad.

Ok, I know I am a bit late on this one, but I really love this BCBG Max Azria Spring 2010 ad! The dresses are obviously amazing, but the poses are even more fun – definitely demonstrates the airiness of these pieces, no?

To all those that have been emailing me - H&M’s GARDEN COLLECTION IS NOW AVAILABLE in Toronto stores!!! Woohoo!!! I am so psyched and still on a bit of a high from my lunch-hour shopping trip! I got 2 dresses so far. Everyone in the store was going a bit nuts, clearing the racks! Most pieces from the collection are already out, a few more are going to be available tomorrow. The piece that I’ve been coveting the most is still not available, but I will be hunting it down until I get my hands on it. Mark my words, little red dress…mark my words!
In the meantime, however, if you liked what you saw here. Make sure to stop by Yorkdale Shopping Centre, Eaton Centre, or Bloor Street location for your fix of H&M’s flowery goodness!
Update: So just as I promised, the red dress is in the proverbial bag! Woohoo! Got to the mall exactly at the opening time, and realized that most red dresses were already gone! How the…? But after some persistent stalking, I have managed to snag my size! And a few other items. The collection is truly one of my favorites from H&M! And it’s not even a designer collaboration, which keeps the price levels low. Love it! Please do more of these, H&M people!

How awesome are these Jill Stuart SS2010 ads!? I seriously need to start kicking butt at the gym in order to fit into the black dress above! I need one in my life! Love the embellishments and the colors (or the lack of). So simple, yet so chic. Less is so much more!

After the initial look at the H&M Spring 2010 lookbook, I wasn’t exactly dying to go shopping – too many pastels for my taste. But this Garden Collection, ohh la la! The red dress. My goodness. It’s gorgessity, no? I love it sooo much! If any of you see it in stores, please drop me a line…because this is the dress I’ll be stalking until I get my hands on it! My closet is crying for it! Apart from the red-hot dress, there is a ton of other dresses and tops that are just too beautiful to pass up. And as if that wasn’t enough, you should also know that the Garden Collection is made using organic and recycled materials! Beautiful and mindful of the environment? Sold!
More after the jump!

Those dresses! Love every single one! The colors! As someone that prefers color to…well, no color. I love the new limited edition Roland Mouret collection for Net-a-Porter! But as much as I love the dresses, I won’t be buying any, since they are all way out of my budget ($1495-$3070 USD). Will be hoping for well-cut knock-offs at Club Monaco instead.

Speaking of Karl. He shot Lara Stone and Baptiste Giabiconi for an editorial in Numéro magazine. The dress below is so gorgeous, it’s making me want to do bad things to my savings account. My Style Fille favorite Diane Kruger wore the Versace Atelier dress while promoting The Inglourious Basterds back in August…Ahh…to be styled by Lagerfeld…ultimate, no? Hot clothes, hot people, what else is there to life?

Well, November is actually pretty much over, but the holiday season is still in full force! Thus this month’s H&M Shopping post is devoted to dresses, dresses, dresses…and some sweaters! There are always so many things I want at H&M that it becomes increasingly difficult not to go nuts and buy everything I try on, but thankfully some of the items aren’t available in my size – which is the only thing that stops me. Thank goodness for that!
This time around, I spotted lots of holiday-worthy dresses: golden lamé dresses, floral dresses ala Stella McCartney, and my personal favorite - black furry dress. The latter was so adorable, yet I didn’t buy it, because as per my worst fears, I ended up looking more yeti, than chic. Oh well.
I also must let you know that H&M is having an outerwear sale, with most coats and jackets going at 50% off! Hence, the below studded leather jacket is no longer $130, but a very affordable $65! That’s a pretty good deal for real leather and great fit! And my latest addiction – menswear shopping for myself is still not satiated, as I found more lovely sweaters this time around! The one with the wolf is an homage to the “3 howling wolves” t-shirt phenomenon. I hope it brings me luck in love, life, and everything else. It’s supposed to be magical, just read the amazing comments! More shopping posts are coming soon! Stay tuned!
And yes, the below cardigan is also available in H&M’s men’s section! So comfy and great for winter!
