Oscar Style

March 8th, 2010

Since the first televised ceremony in the early 1950’s, the Oscars have continued to captivate a global audience not only for its recognition of the years’ finest films and all who are involved in the filmmaking process, but also for showcasing couturiers best designs, a forecast of the seasons top trends. This year we saw a huge homage to nude/lingerie inspired gowns, florals, ombre and pastels, and of course, sequins.

I feel I’m in good company when I admit to my guilty pleasure of being glued to E!’s best and worst dressed programming while simultaneously scouring the pages of People to see which starlets and designers will be revered as hot (or not) for the year to come. Of course, everyone has his or her personal favorites, so allow us to share with you our Blue & Cream best dressed picks. We feel each of these ladies embodied fashion forward trends without losing an ounce of classic Hollywood glamour.

SUPER MODEL SATURDAY@BLUEANDCREAM

February 22nd, 2010

As fashion week comes to a delightfully exhausting end, runway models take flight from the tents at Bryant Park to the catwalks of London, Milan + then Paris. So-while Blue&Cream Family Eniko Mihalik only had a few minutes when she swooped by B&C on the Bowery to snag some wardrobe essentials before embarking on her European whirlwind tour, Victoria Secret girls Lindsay Ellingson and Irina Sheik had the luxury of spending a few hours to shop and enjoy some much needed downtime after their non-stop social calendar celebrating the new Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

February 15th, 2010

It seems like it was just yesterday that this little Ombre number from Herve Leger came through our doors! One lucky Valentine got the last one as a gift this morning (awwww!). As sad as we are to see the dress go, we’re excited to make room for our most exclusive collection to date – Herve Leroux.

The esteemed Parisian couturier recently launched a ready to wear line of handmade body-con and beautifully draped dresses that are positively to-die-for.  Celebs such as Kristen Stewart have been seen rocking Herve Leroux on the red carpet.  The dresses are truly one of a kind works of art. Check in next week for photos of the new hauteness!

GETTING DIGGY WITH IT

February 12th, 2010

Our man Diggy Simmons dropped by The Bowery store yesterday to pick up his fly Retrosuperfuture sunglasses. Not everyone can pull off these clear framed jacquard glasses, but then again, Diggy Simmons isn’t everyone.  He pulls off this tailored look to perfection. The sunglasses are the ultimate accessory to the tweed jacket and red tie professor look (check out the killing the game pocket square!).  When he’s not chilling the The Lamptons or getting A’s at school, this young trendsetter can be seen running around fashion week and you’ll definitely be seeing him tonight at Charlotte Ronson’s Fashion Show at Bryant Park. And if you like his shades you can buy them right here at Blueandcream.com. You can also check out diggy’s blog to follow him around fashion week digslifeofthejetsetter.blogspot.com/

HAIL HALSTON

February 10th, 2010

What does it take to become a fashion icon? The steps seem simple: Create a style all your own that will be emulated for years to come, be extreme in everything you do, and know that not matter what, people will be watching. Seeing as there are only a handful of true style icons and designers who dress them we guess there’s more to it, but for style maven Sarah Jessica Parker, it seems effortless. After establishing that Manolos, cosmos, and the perfect party dress are women’s utmost confidantes, the iconic character Carrie Bradshaw and her posse redefined shopping from being revered a frivolity to an artful expression of personal style and grace (if you haven’t already don’t forget check out the Blue & Cream new mix tape!) Off screen, Parker dazzles as much if not more than her character– continually stealing the red carpet spotlight with her savoir-faire swagger. As such, when Halston Heritage sought a new team member to step up to the plate, Parker seemed an automatic choice (not to mention she’ll be flaunting some of the top designs in the highly anticipated Sex and the City sequel). This latest line from Halston pays homage to the labels 1970’s glam, Studio54 inspired looks favored by fashionistas Bianca Jagger, Jackie Kennedy, and Elizabeth Taylor, with a modern sensibility. We fell in LOVE with this party dress! Check in soon- we’re anxiously awaiting the deep V jersey dress- perfect for summer in the Hamptons!
