SAG Awards 2013

Last night Hollywood came out to show one another their support on the amazing work they have done in the past year during the 2013 SAG Awards. Although there were wardrobe malfunctions, and script slip ups (which is bound to happen during a live show) it turned out to be a fantastic evening. I compiled my favorite looks from the night for a quick recap. Enjoy!



Classic black, navy, and bold colors seemed to be the look most of the ladies were going for last night. A nod to retro Hollywood Glamour, berry lips, and wavy hair made its comeback on the Red Carpet.










 Once again these ladies did not disappoint. I am very inspired by the looks above, it makes me want to brush up on a classic film, maybe I will treat myself to "Casablanca" tonight!

2013 Inauguration Fashion

Iconic. Perfection. These are just some ways to describe the fashion of the First Lady Michelle Obama. The entire Obama family walked into the White House with poise and grace looking more radiant than ever at their last and final inauguration for President Barack Obama.










Michelle is wearing a gorgeous coat and dress by NYC designer Thom Browne, a belt from J. Crew and boots from Reed Krakoff.

















Elegance and a great sense of fashion are a few of the many things the First Lady has passed down to her daughters. They looked like such polished young ladies yesterday.  Malia was wearing a J. Crew plum peacoat with a blue frock underneath. Her younger sister Sasha also went with a pop of color wearing a purple sleeveless dress with a matching peacoat by Kate Spade, and a necklace as her statement piece.



























The Obamas were not the only ones who looked amazing yesterday. Beyonce blew us out of the water yet AGAIN with her Pucci dress and Dior coat. She went above and beyond with over 2.5 million dollars worth of emerald accessories. She looked simply breathetaking. Jay-Z didn't look too bad either.





There was more fashion to celebrate during the Inauguration Ball. Michelle changed into a beautiful red gown by Jason Wu, the same designer who made her dress for the 2009 ceremony. 



  



The Second Lady Dr. Jill Biden also look fabulous during the ball wearing a silky blue Vera Wang gown.



Also dressed to the nines were performers Alicia Keys and Jennifer Hudson; both looked awe-inspiring.

Congratulations to the Obama family, I wish them a successful term and look forward to the upcoming fashion they have to show us!

Elements of Fashion

Street fashion is so inspiring. It is so amazing to see how people take various approaches to similar looks. The one thing I love the most about it is the fact that it's real people, wearing real fashion. So I did some research and came across these street trendy gals!

 Let's start from top! These fabulous winter accessories not only keep you warm, but you look chic while wearing them.

 An over sized hat is playful, and not to mention very comfy. It is easy to throw on when running errands or for just simply hanging around.












Turbans are making their way into day to day wardrobe and this makes me ECSTATIC. I am very guilty of wearing these, they are by far one of my favorite pieces.

Warm fluffy knits make the winter bearable, so continuing downward, we have winter tops.

Graphic tees are not just for summer, adding a toasty scarf and a cardigan allows it to become transitional and can be worn all year round.




 A simple grey sweater is also a "must have". It allows you to play up the accessories, for instance an animal print scarf or a colorful bag. Feeling daring? Wear both at the same time!


 _________________________________________________________________________________


Our hands need some love too.These accessories add a quirkiness to the drab colors we tend to lean towards on gloomy, cold winter days. Have fun with your wardrobe, just because the sun isn't shining doesn't mean your clothes don't have too!


 







It is NO secret I have an obsession with accessories. By adding hardware it characterizes the final look.








 __________________________________________________________________________________



 This season it's all about the socks! They don't only keep your toes nice and warm, but they can be really fun to coincide with jeans, leggings, and even dresses!

 __________________________________________________________________________________


Knit socks look really great with a pair of heels....
 or even with a distressed boot!

I hope you feel inspired by all of these looks, now it's your time to shine! Each of these looks can be recreated for less by visiting your nearest DoubleTake location. Once you have your winter wear tweet us a picture @doubletake

New Year, New Look

It is time for a fresh start! Out with the old and in with the new! Onward into 2013 with a bright new outlook and a wardrobe to match it.


The "Little Black Dress" has many faces. It is sexy, classic, and versatile. It can be worn alone, or as you can see here paired with a cropped lace blazer. The silver accessories jazz it up a bit and make it fun and flirty. You will be turning heads with this look! (to the left DT BCBG Blazer $75, Rebecca Minkoff Dress $109.75)

  






Textures are HUGE this season, especially in brocade. A two piece is also an option and will be a hit this New Year! I paired this Gucci sweater with a sparkled collar to add a touch of texture and pizazz! (DT Mischen skirt $88 retail $310) (Gucci sweater DT $220)


If you really want to make a statement, go all the way...with a sparkly skirt that is! From work straight to a party, you can dress it up or dress it down, this skirt is ideal for the the new year. 
It adds an enchantment to this look that will have everyone mesmerized, or that might be the spiked egg nog? Either way you will be the life of the party!  I paired a simple white collared shirt with a muted colored cardigan. This ensemble is the perfect mixture of classic and fun! (to the left Wendy B. cardigan DT $49, BB Dakota skirt $17.00)

 

  
 I hope these looks inspire you for the up and coming New Year. From our DoubleTake family to yours we wish you the happiest and healthiest 2013. Be sure to tweet us your #NewYearlooks to @doubletakecon
