Liza's Best and Worst of the Golden Globes 2011

Ah I love the Golden Globes so much. Nothing like a cold Sunday winter night to curl up on your couch and watch your favorite actors and actresses scoop up awards for our favorite shows and movies. The show is not even over yet, but I already am posting my best and worst dressed! It is so easy for me to choose... I'm even like that when I shop! When I see something I love or don't love, done and done... I've made my mind up. So without further adieu, here are my picks for best and worst dressed of the Golden Globes this year! Enjoy! XO, Liza

Best Dressed

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection- STUNNING! I mean... I died everywhere when they showed her on the screen. I wasn't sure about Emma as a blonde at first, but with this dress? Her skin tone too? Perfection! I am so in love with the back of the gown too. Super sleek and sexy, yet not over the top at all. The hair is elegant and simple as well to top off the look. Love it ALL!

Leighton Meester in Burberry Prorsum- My second favorite for sure. I pretty much always love what Leighton is wearing, especially this last year. She never chooses anything safe whatsoever and I love that she is willing to take risks, regardless of being in best or worst dressed. That to me, is a true fashionista. It's hard to come by those in Hollywood nowadays, don't you think? Anyways, this dress is a true beauty. I love that it's long sleeved, somewhat retro, and finished off with a tasteful slit. The hair too is simple enough to not draw away from the dress. Yay Leighton!

Claire Danes in Calvin Klein Collection- Another creation by Francisco Costa? I am not shocked at all. His dresses are always beyond beautiful, understatedly sexy, and Ms. Danes and him are close friends. Sooooo of course she picked out the perfect dress to accept a Golden Globe in. I love the color and the gold cuff on her wrist. Gorgeous!

Worst Dressed

January Jones in Versace- Oh no January. You were on my best dressed last year in Lanvin, but this dress is the complete opposite of that! Waaaaay too skanky for me, especially for the Golden Globes, ya know? The fringed bottom too? Bleh! Not feeling it at all. I do love her hair and make-up though. She is naturally beautiful and always shines.

Natalie Portman in Viktor and Rolf- I know some people may love this dress, but I did not at all... I dunno... something about that red beaded flower on the bust? I hate it.... and with the matching red clutch and red shoes? Not her best look. She is gorgeous though and one of my favorite actresses. Loved her acceptance speech. Adorable.

Christina Hendricks in Romona Keveza- Again Christina? I mean... this chick always is in the ugliest dresses!! What is going on with that? The flower on the shoulder is bigger then her head! With that vibrant red hair too... a bright red dress just isn't the wisest decision.

Eeeeeek, I was looking forward to this post! And I agree completely! Emma Stone was perfeeeeection. I loved that dress, and Claire Danes too. They were so sleek and sexy and smooth and classy! I texted Juliana about Leighton the second I saw her - love her daring and bold attitude when it comes to fashion, refreshing to see sleeves on the carpet too. Although, I was not impressed with Angelina's sleeved glitzy Christmasy dress, geh. Thanks for being honest about Natalie Portman, I really didn't get that, the matchy red accessories looked so Valentines Day in high school? Bummer! -A

Getting to know Juliana and Liza

JULIANA:

Please introduce yourself? Where do you live now? What do you do for living and for fun? I'm Juliana. I live in Los Angeles, CA. I assist stylists for fun. I design jewelry to fulfill my creative needs. I paint to get my emotions out that I can't otherwise articulate.

Do you live with somebody else? (with family? or pet?) I live with my fiance John and our two adopted kitties Omar and Bellatrix.

What inspired you to start a fashion blog? Fashion has always been a direct married link to my music. I've always viewed my body as an empty canvas to express my mood daily. I will always take risks and be honest about what I decide to wear each day. Researching, reading, and educating myself about all facets of fashion has seemed to always be a natural ritualistic behavior for me.. and for Liza as well. We have been using each other as a sound board about our thoughts and opinions about fashion since we were 17 years old. We are absolute partners in this and have always been a great team as far as stretching and challenging each other about how we feel and react to all angles of the fashion industry. Thus, we started this blog to use as a home base for all the things that inspire us and that we want to discuss with each other and all of you.

What are you inspired by? I am mainly inspired by photographers. Seeing as how they are the gatekeepers of translating the designers, stylists and models to execute a theme or story. If the photographer doesn't get the photo... we don't get the point. Tim Walker, Mert and Marcus, Greg Kadel, Kayt Jones, Patrick Demarchelier, Michael Muller, Claudia Knoepfel, Stefan Indlekofer, Solve Sundsbo... just to name a few.

What is the most important thing for you when you are working or on the run? My camera, my MacBook, a massive coffee, face covering sunglasses, a bottle of water, my iphone, my stack of magazines, and a great record.

What is your worst habit? Drinking too much caffeine. It is a terrible dependency.

Your favorite color? It's a tie between green and orange.

Who is your icon? Why? My mother because she taught me to always feel free and to be truthful with my fashion and music expression. She always supported me and made it easily available to me at all times... ever since I was a child.

What are you most vain about? The people I choose to spend time with and really let into my life on a deep level. I pick girlfriends on the same level I pick my boyfriends.

What are you most shy about? I have to say... I am really not shy about anything.

What cant you travel without? My MacBook, my silky pillow, my pashmina scarves, cashmere socks, several Voluspa travel candles and my massive Boris Bidjan Saberi bag from Atelier to throw it all in.

Favorite place to shop? In LA? Church, Maxfields, Creatures of Comfort, Satine, Scout, Opening Ceremony, Tenoversix and Barneys for basics.

What you most wanted buy recently? The Osman Wedges I posted on the blog and every single boot Rick Owens did for this season. It's keeping me up at night.

When and where are you happiest? Same here. Anywhere with Liza. Doesn't matter where we are together... we bring a sense of centeredness and home to each other. She is absolutely irreplaceable to me.

What are your favorite vacation spots? St Barts, London, and Southern France.

Most treasured possession? This is hard. I suppose my art work and photos.

What is your favorite junk food? Nuclear sqorms! I know. Disgusting and the worst part is that they can only be bought at nasty Blockbuster, but Lize and I live for them.

What is your favorite sport? Um, yeah. Nothing here.

Favorite fashion designers? Marithe and Francois Girbaud, Lanvin, Givenchy, Damir Doma, Boris Bidjan Saberi, Carol Christian Poell... Agh, just a few that always hit the right spot for me.

Favorite musicians? Imogen Heap, Hot Hot Heat, James Morrison, InnerPartySystem, Amos Lee, Garbage, Alanis, The Cranberries... I could literally go on forever.

Favorite movies? Anything with Faye Dunaway. She is the epitome of honest elegance and edge.

What are you reading now? Almost Moon by Alice Sebold.

Favorite trend of all time? Wow. Um... I would have to say gingham handmade massive blouses from the 20's.

Worst trend of all time? Anything belted. Ew. If it doesn't fit you and you need to "cinch" it (as they say) then don't wear it. Yuck.

You always? Make sure that my point comes across.

Never… Let someone else tell you how to feel.

LIZA:

Please introduce yourself? Where do you live now? What do you do for living and for fun? I’m Liza. I live in Chicago, Illinois and am a recent graduate of Columbia College, with a BFA in management. What I love to do in my free time besides obsess over anything fashion related is dance, write, hang out with friends and my boyfriend, and my cat, Lily of course, drink coffee, and well… I like trying new things, whether it be a restaurant, a store, or a bar. I am always up for anything that sounds fun.

Do you live with somebody else? (with family? or pet?) I live by myself with the cutest cat around, Lily.

What inspired you to start a fashion blog? Jewls and I have always been total fashionistas and share our love of it together. Whether we are reading the new Elle on the phone together or drooling over the new items on lagarconne, we are obsessed with all areas of the fashion world. After checking out the many different fashion blogs on the internet, we both thought to ourselves, hey... we could do this?

What are you inspired by? Practically anything could inspire me, whether it be a sick editorial in a magazine or someone walking down the street. I have a few celebrities that inspire me, but I try and keep my style unique and me.

What is the most important thing for you when you are working or on the run?A tumbler full of coffee and my Miu Miu PVC bowling bag, stuffed with my wallet, day planner, phone, make-up case, and a few pairs of sunglasses.

What is your worst habit? Definitely nail biting. No doubt.

Your favorite color? I love the color yellow, although I never wear it.

Who is your icon? Why? Hmmmm... that is a toughie. Not really sure if I have a definite icon. I’ll have to get back to you on that one.

What are you most vain about? Meh? Next question.

What are you most shy about? Talking in front of groups of people... not my thing at all.

What cant you travel without? My computer, my small baby pillow, and Marge the lamb.

Favorite place to shop? I shop at Barney's in store, but I mostly shop online on Shopbop, La Garconne, Bonadrag, and Opening Ceremony.

What have you most wanted to buy recently? I have definitely been coveting this amazing little Stolen Girlfriends Club dress on Maximillia.com. Obsessed with that site at the moment.

When and where are you happiest? Probably in LA with Jewls... Omg I am such a cheese, but it is true. Driving down Sunset in her convertible with Coffee Bean in hand and Kelly Clarkson blasting sounds so perfect right now. Ahhh….

What are your favorite vacation spots? Hawaii, Mexico... anywhere warm and sunny.

Most treasured possession? Marge and my collection of pictures and music. I most recently backed all that up, as one of my biggest fears is losing all of it!

What is your favorite junk food? Gummies!

What is your favorite sport? Sport? Uhhh… I love to watch gymnastics. That counts!

Favorite fashion designers? Comme Des Garcons, Alexander Wang, Lanvin, Erin Fetherston, Gary Graham, Rachel Comey... I think the list could go on forever...

Favorite musicians? I love everything to tell you the truth. Madonna, Roisin Murphy, The Xx, Massive Attack, Cut Copy, Bloc Party, Fleetwood Mac, etc etc. I could go on for a long time.

Favorite movies? Love the classics, like Little Women, Meet me in St. Louis. I also love comedies, such as Mean Girls and Zoolander. Oh and Black Swan. I am in love with that movie. Unbelievable.

What are you reading now? Hmmm… the new Elle and Bazaar? Haha! Right now I have Cherie Currie's biography on my nightstand. Gotta dive into that soon.

Favorite trend of all time? Mod style shift dresses.

Worst trend of all time? Probably Uggs.

You always? are right. Hahaha. I make myself laugh.

Never… doubt yourself.
