Impossible Conversations, Met Gala 2012

The Oscars of fashion have now come and gone, and it was a night full of gorgeous gowns, hundreds of thousands of feathers and camera flashes for days.  Warning...this one is long, but oh so enjoyable.

Florence Welch is ethereal and perfect in Alexander McQueen.  This dress warms my heart.

The 2012 exhibit documents the impossible conversations between genius Miuccia Prada and the late Elsa Schiaparelli.  I'm so excited to stop by the Met sometime soon to check out the exhibit!

Critics Have Chosen

My theory about the Critics Choice Awards is that there's less pressure compared to the big three award shows, translating to everybody showing up looking RIDICULOUSLY awesome.  Including a few Sartorial Compass alumni, and some up-and-comers that I can't wait to see more of.

Love these ladies, Michelle Williams looked stunning in Chanel (an upcoming Sartorial Compass I promise), Diane Kruger in Prada and Kirsten Dunst in Dior.

The ladies from the Help turned it out, I love all of the color.

The ones to watch are as follows Elle Fanning in Rodarte, Elizabeth Olsen in Pucci, I am dying to see her movie Martha Marcy May Marlene.  And lastly Shailene Woodley in Calvin Klein, also really looking forward to seeing her in The Descendants.  I can't wait for more awards shows!
