Are you game for vintage style? Try a full 50’s inspired skirt [HINT: It’s all over Cannes]

I have rule around here about never wearing vintage too literally when it's a style that YOU wore in its first fashion outing as it seriously dates you... in other words, makes you look o-l-d. So if you watched I Love Lucy in anything other than a rerun, skip this look. But for the rest of us, why not try a midi-length, flippy & full 50's inspired skirt for some summer dash? It looks great as an airy summer dress or for a big night out. And you know I've been loving this look for awhile.-- S.H. Jasmine Trinca in Miu Miu (left) and Naomi Watts in Dolce & Gabbana (right) Cannes Do Chic: After seasons of body-con &

With all those clothes flying across your bedroom floor (ditch that fuzzy sweater already), I you want to take pause and consider a

We love the way Adele keeps it real and true to herself on the red carpet. We also love the way drugstore hair products were used to create her Bond girl hair at the Oscars. Adele's voluminous, half-up do was the right touch of glam to complement her Jenny Packham dress. Remember, Jenny Packham was one of the designer's from our New York Fashion Week Red Carpet picks?! >>CHECK OUT: Oscars 2013 Red Carpet Arrivals… as it happens Hairstylist Michael Ashton created Adele's red carpet hairstyle using drug store products from John Frieda.

As the stars start to arrive, let's look at Oscar Red Carpet Fashion 2013. It's not exactly a year of thrills and chills for fashion.

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
