My three favourite ladies (and dresses) from the Academy Awards on Sunday. I just thought they were all so classy, pretty, chic, and appropriate for the occasion.

Friday Fashion Fix
Vogue's website is fantastic, with loads of new things each and every day. I love their feature Five Days, Five Looks, One Girl. This week they showcased the wardrobe of Vogue's Director of Special Events, Sylvanna Ward Durrett. I would like to borrow everything she owns!
This beautiful Lanvin wedding gown caught my eye as I was cruising around Net-a-Porter this week. I don't know if it's what I would choose for my wedding day, but the workmanship and detailing is exquisite.
The sweater, the layering, the bag, the choice of accessories, Jessica Alba always seems to look so comfortable in her clothes. You can tell that she isn't trying too hard, she just puts great things together that still allow her to move about her regular day. I love her hair in this picture. Inspiration for my next trim!
This Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (the Classic Q Francesca) is totally on my wishlist. I love that it is big and tote-like but that you can also swing it as a cross body bag. Functionality and fashion = fabulous.
These two starlets both got nabbed for "Hit or Miss" fashion lists when they wore these outfits to a premiere this week, but I think they look absolutely adorable. More than anything I think they're both darn good at their day jobs and you don't see them riding the "celeb/tabloid train" too often. Plus, Carey Mulligan's expression in this picture made me smile.

Classics
There are a few classic, timeless pieces that are worth making the investment, as they will always be practical and stylish.
Watches:
I don't usually wear a watch, but on occasion I see one that I really love and I get the urge to have one. In most cases, the ones I like are actually Men's watches - with big faces and a leather strap. This one caught my eye today.
Via Coach or Macy's
Blazers:
Chloe Cotton & Silk Blazer
via Net a Porter
I can never get enough of blazers. I don't own a creamy coloured one though and I love the one Gwyneth Paltrow is wearing in this photo.

Boots:
A great pair of leather boots can do wonders for any outfit. I like ones that hit at the knee, are closefitting - not too loose or slouchy, but without a heel. These Loeffler Randall ones are great!
And these Lanvin ones have just enough slouch!
Leather Bags:
Chloe Lily Pouch
Mulberry Bayswater Bag

Pretty Little Things
How great is this dress? I was thinking about it the other day when I saw a similar fabric at Holt Renfrew in Toronto. Maggie Gyllenhall is great because whether she gets it right or wrong she has a distinct point of view. She never wears what is "in" or trendy. She has eclectic taste. This dress was worn to the Golden Globes in 2009 and is by Lanvin.
