Golden Globes 2012: Our favorite looks

Let's not discuss the winners because we only care about the fashion anyway!
Here are last night's winning looks according to us.

Our Top Five



Claire Danes in Calvin Klein
My favourite look of the night.
It's chic, structured and elegant. Black and white done right.



Nicole Kidman in Versace.
Another red carpet win for the ever-daring Australian. The studded dress fit her statuesque body like a glove and give her an amazing hourglass figure. Check out the detailing in the close-ups - this gown is a true work of art.


Evan Rachel Wood in Gucci Premiere.
Feathers! Sequins! See-through fabric! There's so much going on but somehow she manages to make it work. The rising screen star is also emerging as a fashion reference on the red carpet. We'll keep an eye on her until the Oscars.


Emma Stone in Lanvin.
Kudos for putting an original touch on the belted waist. The eagle adds a fun spin on the trend that everyone was wearing (see Helen Mirren, Laura Dern, Kate Winslet, Jessica Chastain etc, etc, etc.) Bonus points for the lovely jewel tone of the dress and the superb makeup.


Salma Hayek in Gucci.
Dazzling in an art deco bustier dress reminiscent of the disco era. I also like that she's not over ombré hair yet... I'm not either.

Honorary Mentions


Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang
Stands out in a classic strapeless gown. If you're looking for a traditional gala look, that's the way to do it.


Tilda Swinton in Haider Ackermann
In a class of her own. She looks otherworldy and that's a good thing because no one else on Earth could pull this off. The icy blue hue works perfectly with her complexion. Add her awesomely rock n' roll hair and you have the final touch to this modern and edgy look.

Meet me in Nantucket


While browsing the web for home decorating inspiration, I stumbled on this rug that speaks to my affection for crustacean-style... and all lobster-related things in particular.

Now, I only need the Cape Cod cottage to put it on display!

Cruisin'



I have a confession to make.

I've never been much of a Versace fan. I find most of the collections offered by the Italian fashion house to be too flashy, nouveau riche and borderline tacky - even more so since Donnatella took over the creative direction of the company after her brother's tragic passing. But then again I'm more of a Jil Sander kind of girl...

So much to my surprise, I loved Versace's collaboration with H&M.
I had the chance to check out a few pieces off the rack (or whatever was left of the collection) and was pleasantely surprised. The designs were absolutely Versace but somehow really fit with the H&M spirit. Great leather jackets, sequined party dresses, nice coats, palm-tree bomber jackets... Also, most clothes were rather easy to pull-off, even for a rather minimalist dresser like me.

I was happy to hear that Versace is collaborating once again with H&M, this time for a Cruise Collection that will be available online starting January 19th. The clothes are delightful.

Check out this super cute berry + beatles print.

Best Friends Forever



I am still not over the stacked bracelets trend.

So much that friendship bracelets are some of the items that are topping my Christmas wishlist. They are so colourful, playful and quite affordable (feel free to make your own!).

First, let's stop by my new favourite online store, Shopbop.


Next, ASOS has a few options like this Bead Rhinestone Friendship Bracelet.

Esty is literally filled with thousands of original, creative and often one of a kind options - some of which come very cheap!
