Grammy's - Best Dressed

Oh, the Grammys!!! So much crazy fashion I was sure I didn't like anything (certainly did not like Lady Gaga in that stupid egg) but looking back there were actually a few standouts! My favorites from the night are below.

What did you think?

1) Jennifer Hudson in Versace

- J. Hud looked gorg (and oh so svelte!) in this navy Versace gown with silver embellishments.
- Her Christian Louboutin Buckled Heels and Neil Lane bangles keep the look fresh!
- Showcasing one of the biggest trends of the night - the asymmetrical hemline

2) Lea Michele in Pucci

- Lea Michele showcased one of her best looks of all of awards season in a black Pucci dress with lace detail and platform patent Loubotin heels
- Her multi-colored jeweled Lorraine Schwartz bangle )pink,green, black oh my!) was fun and added a dash of color to the whole look. My favorite jewelry piece of the night...tied with Gwenyth Paltrow's hot pink feathered earrings of course!

3) Florence Welch in Givency Haute Couture
- Florence (without the machine) showed us what fun and funky Grammy style is all about in this sheer Givency gown that has a very vintage vibe. Very bohemian and just very Florence.
- A Lorraine Schwartz ring is the right amount of dazzle for the complicated design

As for my worst dressed, sorry Rihanna, but your puff of a gown reminded me of Christmas (or a cotton swab). I also disliked Gaga in the Egg (have I said this already?), Katy Perry in those Armani angel wings, as well as Guliana Rancic's overally complicated lace and satin dress. Sorry G!

Fashionably Yours,

Bachelor Breakdown: The Ring

So he did it as the tabloids and reality blogs predicted. He picked Vienna! She wouldn't have been my choice (to put it nicely) but I suppose Jake was really into her. Again, I am not sure why and I surely don't think many viewers who watched the season know either, but alas "sweet little Jake" picked outspoken, controversial and overall pretty annoying, Vienna.

Anyways, if the girl has any redeeming qualities its her good taste in engagement rings! A few weeks back Vienna let Jake know she liked princess cut rings, and the sparkler he picked out for her certainly did look ravishing on her finger in tonight's season finale.

The "ring" is on the right, a princess cut Neil Lane

The Neil Lane Princess Cut Diamond and Platinum Ring that Jake proposed with tonight sat on a pave band setting with the stone itself surrounded by pave diamonds. Its a very fashionable choice and I think fits Vienna's bold personality. Carat weight is not confirmed but I'm hearing its close to 4 carat in the solitaire alone.
UPDATE: I have confirmed the solitaire itself is 2.72 in weight

So what do you think of Bachelor Jake's choice (in both the ring and woman)? And how long do you think this will last?

Fashionably Yours,
