That being said, I don’t think there are too many fashion bloggers who are in love with this particular red carpet look from last night’s Emmy Awards:

Okay, yes – personal style is very important, but this is the Emmys here folks…

I really, really want to love Kate Flannery’s whole outfit here – she’s got an adorable 50s vibe going on and that brooch on her waist is just charming:

But I can’t do the gloves.

I’m sorry.

I realize that makes me a bad person.

Maybe if they were more fitted?  A little less fabric at the wrist perhaps?

This however is just a plain old “no” for me:

Heavy, opague black tights with that slinky dress?  Bare legs and strappy sandals would have turned that outfit into something lovely – not a clunky pairing.

Emmy Awards Style Goofs

It’s become a tradition for me to do a year-end round up of my favorite fashion accessory picks from the year.  I’ve got great designs, hot celebrity styles… and possibly even a fashion goof-up as well!

in no particular order – but with a sense of fun, here you go

• Beyonce’s (or I should say “Sasha’s”) robot glove is definitely a style goof – at least to me…
• I think Michelle Obama is ushering in an era of elegant and yet low-key style to the White House.
• Sarah Jessica Parker’s hat at the London premier of the Sex and the City movie was another fashion moment I’d prefer to forget from 2008.
• Don’t have an Oscar-worthy budget?  Fake it with these fabulous jewels!
• Christian Lacroix made me drool with gilded dragonflies on the toes of his shoes.
• I recommend treating yourself to classic and timeless accessories – especially if you can find them on sale!
• Launching a new jewelry blog was definitely a high point of my year
• Her Accessories celebrated prom with a series of budget prom accessories – all of the sparkle, none of the credit card pain afterwards…
• This purse certainly doesn’t fall into the budget category, but the Judith Leiber cupcake purse that Katy Perry carried at the MTV Awards is just too cute not to include!
• I celebrated the Twelve Days of Shopping – with my annual Her Accessories Christmas accessories gift guide.
• Hush Puppies new design team is making me drool – I adore these boots!
• Steve Madden made me go “hmmm….” with his “Bukled” shoe – see what you think…
• Let’s finish this round-up off with indie designer Island Cowgirl Jewelry – whimsical silver jewelry with a funky edge.

Her Accessories – favorite fashion picks from 2008

I like hats.

Honestly I do…

But this hat is just so over the top outrageous – now, I realize that her character, Carrie Bradshaw is a serious fashionista – but the hat is too much!

What’s the phrase?  “There’s no such thing as bad publicity….”
