between me and my calvins...pucci

oh lord. if that isnt an awesome and terrible fashionblogging title, i dont know what is. 

Gwyneth paltrow inspired in me a love for the 90s clean calvin look. with a Pucci gown. 

here it is:

i think its perfect. even though usually im all about the romantic/gothic/mideival/princess/sexxxaholic/over the top bullshizzzz 

so check out these other dresses that are actually CALVIN and made it to the golden globes....(except the last one which did its paparazzi time at another gwyneth premier)

I can't help but be seduced by the clean athletic healthy golden child look of it.  Maybe my craving for order and simplicity in life has translated into my taste in clothing...but anyway,

isn't it just beautiful and refreshing???

 

OF COURSE....the dramatic beauties posted below MADE THE GLOBES WORTH WATCHING all on their own....(lord knows the longevity of my patience does not extend to movie length most of the time. also, movies are difficult for me because i cry, run away, stop them at the scary parts...etc. I like watching the same movies over and over again because usually i can handle them if im prepared for all the emotional parts ahead of time...but anyway...MOVING ALONG...)

look at all the beauty!!!! my five favorite genres of dressing up!!! and all were represented!

(Burberry Prorsum) 
1. mostly Romantic and demure with subtle seductive notes (leg slit and open back!) so gorgeous....

(Versace)
2. lady in red cleavage sexxxpot 

(Atelier Versace)
3. glamorous witch (although angelina jolie probably couldn't look anything other than an exotic beautiful witch...but the dress is right up her alley in that it brings that vibe all on its own)

(Marchessa)

4. fairy! sparkle pantzz! princesss! bitchessss

 

(Vivienne Westwood)

5. Rock Star. Helena Bonham Carter. (usually in this blog I don't use capitalization so consistently...but Helena Bonham Carter deserves those capital letters because she is wearing mismatched and clashing shoes. which is just PERFECT.)

and those be my 5  favorite genres of existence. 

 

 

p.s. speaking of singleminded romantic obsessions....two summers ago when i went to greece (for the 2 month long Odyssey class at CC,) all i wanted in the world was a romantic white dress. to be healthy and tan in. and to NOT accessorize. and to WEAR ON A SAILBOAT. 

this obsession spawned another obsession: a white obsession. a pure innocent virgin goddess obsession. a grecian statue obsession. a monochromatic white statement of luxurious whiteness. 

 

here is the dress that started it all (im wearing it tonight for THE LAST SUPPER with my parents before i head back to CO tomorrow=woooooohooooofreeeeedom!!!! freeedom!!!! freeeeeeeedom!)

it was a long and adruous hunt for the perfect romantic white dress...one which spanned hydra mikonos ithaka and athens.

finally i found one in athens. 

 

and then after that i was broke. 

 

but dressed like a princess,

so who cares?

Leighton's was my favorite, though I loved January's va-va-versace and angelina's gorgeous would-be-helen-mirren-speed-if-angelina-wasn't-a-statuesque-vision-with-smoldering-eyes dress.

and while i love the clean athleticism of calvin klein, i do think emma stone kind of betrayed herself here. she's very orange and very blonde. i miss ginger emma stone. she looks very LA here.

I think she looks very LA 20 years ago mixed with LA 40 years ago which is awesome.

it is different though
(but that, i think, is another reason to like it?)

oh- and also emma stone is blonde for a movie i think????
