Met Gala 2014

My oh my! So many stars at this year's Met Gala were to die for! At most events lately, I've found myself only loving up to 5 looks. Not this time! These celebs pulled out all the stops! All of the dresses that really caught my eye had a color palet of black, white, gray (silver), and neutral. Doesn't seem like the most exciting array of colors, but when you see the gowns, you'll know why I fell for them! Here are my favorite looks from the evening...count 'em...there're 12!!

Blake Lively in Gucci Première

Lily Aldridge in Michael Kors

Rihanna in Stella McCartney

Gisele Bündchen in Balenciaga

Cara Delevingne in Stella McCartney

[ The "It List" ] Coat Edition

If you've been paying attention to Harper's Bazaar lately, or IT lists anywhere, then you know that fall's got certain trends that are stealing the spotlight. Below I've deCODEd the style "It List" from Harper's Bazaar. Use it as a guide for your fall season shopping.

The Peacoat

The queen bee nailed this look. Now, you can, too! Check out these penny saving options here and here. Super versatile, super buyer savvy.

The Camel Coat

The camel coat is classic. Ultra feminine and offers timeless appeal. Hey, that's good for the budget! These are some picks for you, pictured above, here, and here.

The Barbour Coat

Although the world's Princess made this look popular, I prefer a more modern silhouette. Try these options here, here, and here!

Remember, you don't have to be a royal to take part, nor do you have to spend royal cash!
