Golden Globes Fashion- Red Carpet Best, Worst and why you should make sense of this

Monday morning quarterback time. It's time to reflect what really stood out-- in both a good and eeech way-- from last night's Golden Globes fashion from the red carpet. If you followed my gut reaction Golden Globes Live Tweets, you have a pretty keen idea of my take on this. I have a hard time ohhing and ahhing when a trussed up actor is schilling for a big designer and caught up in the "fabulousness" of it all without taking her personal attributes in consideration. If you don't wear something that is organic to your style, figure, type, or the TV cameras it shows, big time. >>MORE: Red Carpet Fashion & Beauty No matter how fantastic a dress may look on

Emporio Armani Menswear Fall 2013 In their words… URBAN TECH IMPRESSIONS Emporio Armani Menswear Fall 2013 :A new era. New attitudes and perspectives mark a different way of dressing.

Lose This, Redo That in 2013... Truth be told, I HATE telling anyone to ditch something trendy. Something that is such a quick fad should not be in a chic wardrobe to begin with. There IS a sophisticated difference from looking on trend and being trendy... particularly, after 25ish. Trendy is a blip on the style meter that spoils faster than a gallon of milk and dates itself in one of those "what was I thinking" old photos. On trend is staying modern, looking fresh and never dated. >>RELATED: How to clean out your closet & the top 20 items to let go It is OK to add a few throwaway trendy pieces here and there just fun of it.

Dear Sharon: For the past three years, I trip out of my shoes. It started when I was on the my way to job interview when, all of a sudden, both my feet slipped out of my pumps! I had been wearing these pumps all year and now they didn't fit. It was a nightmare just to make it to the door of the interview as I couldn't take a "normal" step without losing a shoe. So embarrassing! From that day on, no strapless pumps fit me ever again. I have tried so many heel grips, heel pads and even innersoles at the same time, but nothing worked. I have squeezed into a size smaller shoe and although the shoe was super tight in the front,

Retail Remedy: Our tour of Paris holiday windows continues with Galeries Lafayette, which kinda sorta reminds us of a not quite as elaborate version of Bergdorf Goodman's New York windows from a few season's back.
