Emily’s & Patty’s show outfits!

Patty & I spent the last few days in NYC for the Spring 2015 shows! We can’t believe that we are buying for our 6th season!! The shows are so much fun but it is 3 long days on our feet. Everyone and I mean everyone is always dressed to the nines. We just want to wear our workout clothes. Mark my words… I’m going to do it one of these days! I want to make sure you all know that we don’t think our outfits are amazing or anything.  We like fashion and like to put outfits together but we just try to keep it cute and comfortable. The key word here is try.

In Front of the Ivy: Fall Color Trend – Blush!

It’s time for another “In Front of the Ivy”!!  My new blog series where I share some of my favorite things from Milly & Grace! Remember my inaugural post?  My Favorite Summer Color Combo: Blue & White?  Well, now let’s switch gears to Pre Fall.  The color that I am seeing everywhere is Blush!  Now, it’s no secret that blush is one of my favorite colors.  But don’t worry, just because I’m partial to pink does not mean that I’m steering you in the wrong direction.  Even Ralph Lauren’s Fall Collection is all about blush!!

Rebecca Taylor’s blush floral printed silk top is perfect to wear on it’s own now while it’s still warm or under a blazer once it starts to cool down.IvyBlush1Rose gold jewelry is the perfect way to pull blush into your fall outfits.  Our Shashi layering bracelets and our best selling Gillian Julius tube bracelets are pieces that you can dress up or down! IvyBlush2Sometimes you just gotta believe! Shy by Sydney Evens makes these dainty everyday necklaces with a charming reminder.  As seen on the Nantucket blACKbook! Other available words: love, breathe, dream, yolo, xoxo, mrs!

The 2014 Emmy Red Carpet

Award Shows are back! You know what that means….our Red Carpet Favorites!! Yay! Here were our favorites from last nights Emmys:

emmyredcarpet1

Sarah Hayland:  I thought Sarah’s look was stylish, elegant, and age appropriate.  I loved how she matched a timeless formal full skirt with a trendy crop top.  It is an update and a nod to the days when Carolina Herrera was wearing a collared shirt with the formal skirt.  I think Sarah is really serious about her career and last night she showed that she wants to play with the big kids and is here to stay.  And clearly she got the emmy memo – wear coral!

Lizzy Caplan: I absolutely loved the neckline and the cut outs and on this dress.  Initially I thought the white train would be better black but I definitely warmed up to it.  Every now and again it’s good shake things up a bit and do something a little out of the ordinary.  Wouldn’t you agree?!

Heidi Klum:  The whole look from head to toe was fab and fresh.  The dress fit perfectly.  It was simple with a statement.  I love that she wore her hair down and wavy and that her makeup looked natural.  Most of the time, Heidi’s award show looks are not so hot and look like she is trying too hard.  She is so stunningly beautiful that she doesn’t need much to wow us.  She nailed it last night. And she got the coral memo.

I loved all three looks because they were both classy and edgy at the same time!

Claire Daines:  What a gorgeous, vibrant red!  She just pops in this Givenchy gown!  I love the lace cutouts that carry around to a sheer lace back.  With a jeweled neckline like that, you can keep the jewelry simple… which is exactly what she did!  Low maintenance! Loved the whole look… from head to toe!

Camila Alves: I’m such a sucker for sheer cut outs!!  And they can totally be trashy!  But Camila pulls it off in this white and sheer Zuhair Murad gown.  The silhouette of the dress was timeless yet the design was edgy.  I also love seeing hair down on the red carpet!  Camila always looks stunning.

Sarah Hyland:  Copy and Paste what Emily said right here!  I couldn’t agree with her more!  Loved the whole look!  Including the top knot!  Fun fact: She couldn’t fit into her car when it was time to leave!  She tweeted, “I’m taking an uber SUV to the #Emmys because my car was too small for my dress…,”

Cat Deely: I think Cat looked beautiful. Most of the time I don’t like what she is wearing. But, I loved this one her. I probably would have done something about that large messy bow. But the colors are simply stunning.

Lena Headey: I love this asymmetrical, one shoulder, textured gown. I like that she kept the look pretty simple with the jewels. Her make up and hair was spot on. And the shoes go nicely too. I think I would like to have seen her spice it up a tad with the shoes, but the ones she chose work and let the dress take the spot light. So, I guess I can’t be too picky.

January Jones: I love how bold and edgy her look is. It’s different and unique. I love the bold lip and how perfectly the edgy shoes go with that edgy ballgown.

 

Some of our favorite moments last night were Aaron Paul’s speech because he was so sweet and humble and we are obsessed with Breaking Bad and also seeing Halle Berry present because we got our nails done earlier that day and she was there too (she chose light pink nail polish)!!

We can’t wait until the next award show!
