As I was watching the big game yesterday (Super Bowl), I can’t help but wonder about all the fashions that have been worn all over the Phoenix area during Super Bowl week. I’m sure there have been many celebrity sightings, many fashion mishaps but probably some great fashion pairings as well.
The Sundance Film Festival is underway in Park City, Utah. There are various other fashion shows happening all over the country including New York Fashion Week, though it doesn’t happen for another week or so. It’s also awards season; which means that there’s always a red carpet to stroll down. So far we’ve had the Golden Globes, Kate Hudson was my favorite look from that show.

Viola Davis was my favorite look from the SAG Awards. She looked so regal and her acceptance speech as Best Actress in a drama series for How To Get Away With Murder was quite inspiring. To view some of the swanky looks from the SAG, please click on the link below:

FLOTUS REPORT:
FLOTUS (First Lady of the United States) wears a Michael Kors suite to the State of Union Address and made headlines again, but this time because the suit was also seen on CBS’s The Good Wife’s leading actress Julianna Margulies.
RETAIL SPOTLINE: MACY’S
Thalia Sodi, Macy’s newest Macy’s VIP designer will be featured in their Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection, the celebrity-studded runway show set for Feb. 12 at Lincoln Center.
