Emmy 2010 Wrap Up!

Some faves of the evening...

Eva Longoria Parker in Robert Rodriguez. 
She look so elegant and stunning...the rosette texture on the gown really gives it some depth and dimension.

Lea Michele in Oscar De La Renta & Lorraine Schwartz jewels. 
That necklace really is a show piece all on it's own...just gorgeous.

Maria Menounos in Ralph & Russo custom gown.
The plunging back and cut-out on the front could potentially be a distasteful disaster for some but she more than pulled it off and looked incredible!

Kim Kardashian in Marchesa & Lorraine Schwartz Cuff
What a vision in white!


Frank's Tank's....

January Jones in Versace & Miu Miu pumpsThis was a total tank for me...All she needed was some cherries on her boobs and she could have been in Katy Perry's California Girls video. 

Heidi Klum in Marchesa & Lorraine Schwartz necklace
Ok, I must admit that if I had legs for days like Heidi, I would want to show them off any chance I could. She looked absolutely amazing...so I'm on the fence about this one. That being said, I think this was a bit too much leg for the Emmy's...her vageeg is practically peeking. Just sayin. But that necklace was a total winner!

Mindy Kaling in Aguri Sagimori & McQueen Pumps
Where do I begin? The hair on top of her head is a good start...WTF?! Less is more Mindy, less is more. This would have been good at the prom circa 85'.

xo,
Frankie

Design Design

I think I was an interior decorator in a previous life (one of my many past life careers!), because one of the things I love to do most is look through books/photos and see how people transform their living spaces to fit their own personal style. I love Modern, Contemporary, French Country, Traditional, Art Deco and many more because of the different elements that they each have....I'm still trying to zero in on what my favorite is! What is your favorite style?

Leather+Shearling

It's kinda hard to think about fall coats and jackets when I'm literally melting like a big stick but I can't resist! I saw some fantastic Leather/Shearling jackets over the weekend at Barney's which totally inspired me to do a post on them. And so......The man hunt begins.

A/W 10/11 Must have frame bags.

There are purses and shoes that I would sell someone's child for...easy to say since I don't have any bambino's of my own but you catch my drift. I'm obsessed! Frame handbags are no exception and they are hot for the A/W season! I love the structured look that this style provides...simply delish. Peep some of A/W's hottest must have frame bags from the runways...

Sweater Love.

I must admit I have a small (ok, maybe not so small) obsession with sweaters....I have developed quite the collection over the years, so of course I was immediately obsessed with this story! It's another fantastic editorial styled by Grace Coddington...loving the throwback retro feel vibe. Very Veronica Lake.
