TRENDS: FROM THE RED CARPET

Trends are cast from 2 places--the runways and the red carpet. Each award season, we see the magic percolating inside a designer's mind for their upcoming collections, draped across celebrity skin. At the Golden Globes, there were a lot of hints about what to expect come Spring, as far as we're concerned, the awards for favorite trends go to: Winter Whites, March Metallics, and Nouveau Deco.
Who says you have to wait until Memorial Day to wear white? Last night, the red carpet was a winter wonderland with one snow colored confection after another. So, this season, we say break out the blanco!

Metallics were the metal winners this winter--both on the runways during Fashion Week and at last night's festivities. We understand completely--nothing helps a girl shine like a little sparkle.
