Adele in Jenny Packham

Our favorite of the night was probably Sally Field in Valentino. One of us missed the red carpet show but caught her in the award ceremony and swore that it was Valentino. We guessed right! We've seen a lot of young actresses sporting Valentino lately, but oh how classy she looks. Valentino was seen quite a lot on this year's red carpet, especially at the famous Vanity Fair after party. Obviously you all are very aware of how partial we've been to the designer for a while. So did any of you have a favorite look (Valentino or not) of the night?

Cobalt

It's a lovely color and we think it looks flattering on all different colorings. We just saw a layout in Vogue covering the fact that cobalt is hot at the moment. We also knew that it was shown on a lot on this season's runways. Melody's look is a skirt and top combo (that just happened to be exactly the same shade), but we say if you're out shopping, go ahead and be partial to the color!

Street Style NYFW Fall "13

Love the simplicity, but toughness, of the black and grey. We would venture to guess that she is wearing an oversized grey sweatshirt under there. We could be wrong, but that's what we're thinking. And if so, than that makes this outfit pretty dang easy to take on....

White Button Down under Blue Linen

Look who's back! Desirae's out on the road again from her maternity leave! Can you believe it? What a toughy. And here she is looking like a toughy in her heels and all. After having complications every step of the way with her pregnancy, and a crazy finale (with her early delivery and eventual last minute c-section since baby was breech), she's already back touring and we couldn't be more proud. And of course Thread Ethic is glad to have her back on its pages.

Thank goodness longer hemlines seem to be going strong into the fall collections. We saw so many collections hitting well below the knee and almost mid-calf. So where do you find dresses like these? Here, here, here, and here.

Casual Cool - NYFW Street Style Fall '13

Here's a cool way of dressing up a pretty casual look. Don't think we would ever think to put more of a sweat pant with heels, but hey! It's fashion week! Almost anything goes! We have to say our all time favorite baseball-hatted look from NYFW is from NYMag's collection of photos here. Laurel Pantin is super awesome....

Emma Stone - Valentino Resort '13

In honor of  Valentine's Day yesterday, we decided to give you some pink. You guys remember this look we showed you a while back right? Well here's Emma Stone sporting it! We love it when some of our favorite looks end up on the red carpet.

Back Stage - Teal Eshakti Dress

Happy Valentine's day to our lovely readers! Here is what we had going last night. Melody wore a teal Eshakti dress on stage after intermission with J.Crew pewter belt and ballroom-esque lower heels. Since we were working last night, luckily we get the day off today and will be celebrating the day of love on the slopes up here in Vail. Wish us luck that we don't break an arm since we're still in the middle of a tour (crossing fingers).  Are you all going out to fancy dinners tonight? If so, you should facebook us with what you're wearing. We'd love to see!

Tadashi Shoji Fall '13 - Modest Dress Heaven

Oh my goodness. Mr. Shoji's collection was a modest evening dress dream. There are SOOOO many looks here. And yet there were others we didn't include since we had way too many as it was. Inspired by a trip to Russia and elements like the robes of Russian Orthodoxy priests or the Tsar and his family right before the 1917 revolution, we can definitely see the influence. We think it's Russian royalty meets Downton Abbey and we're sold. All the velvet was incredible. We haven't seen velvet come down the runways in a while, so it definitely felt very royal. I think we're sure to see these pop up on the red carpet soon.
