And the Emmy goes to

Kate Mara! (applaud)

There is a deconstructed feel to the dress. I love the layers and pleats of the high-waisted skirt. Unlike the loose bottom, the top is tightened. Almost more refined. The asymmetrical design keeps to the deconstructed theme. It has an ancient Greece toga feel with the white fabric inching its way to one shoulder. I tried picturing the dress without the grey translucent portion - much better with it. It it unique. It highlights the dress by adding a contrasting element. Stunning ensemble.

S + B, they do besties better than anyone

An upbeat moment on the show that reminds you about the beauty of friendship, and fashion.

The lovely Upper East Siders are wearing Abigail Lorick Barlass, the ghost designer for Eleanor Waldorf. Each character's style pulls through even with the same dress. Serena has on a bright orange and bohemian laid back hair look. Blair had a classy up-do with her tranquil and sophisticated blue. Again, nude pumps go with pretty much everything. The dress is a simple design with the tight fit, knee length, and long sleeves. It is the backless back and bright, vibrant colours that make the design bold, fresh, and desirable.

Why Wedge When You Can Sledge

The L.K. Bennett Nude Sledge pumps have made countless appearances. It is only fitting for a post on them.


Nude pumps go with almost anything. The Duchess wears them so often, you can tell she adores them. Considering all the standing she does at events, these must provide amazing comfort.

If you're me (wobbling all over the place), you go for a short heel. Unfortunately, the wow factor can be taken away. On the other hand, a super long heel can make you come off suggestive. This is a great choice with the added platform to add that royal boost and height, allowing the heel not to come off as risqué.

I love that shine. It pairs with her shiny brown locks. I favour a rounded front, so another win.

Pure sophistication in a pair of nude pumps.
