Grammy Gold: Red Carpet Best Dressed with Taylor Swift & Rita Ora

I'll Have What She's Having: Infused gold red carpet dressing that makes a best dress case to add metallic to your wardrobe Gold is making a comeback.

Must Have Alert: THE blouse of the moment, is a French Chic Bow Blouse à la Ines de La Fressange

I'll Have What She's Having: A classic chic pussy bow blouse that looks fresh and edgy I can sometimes have a real love/hate attitude with pussy bow blouses (sounds odd, I know).

Caveat: If you remember when the Carter's were in office, keep the look light and easy on this go round. Here's
