Best Emmy Style: Red Carpet fashion with lessons that make sense for your wardrobe (really)

I'll Have What She's Having: The best Emmy style of clean chic red carpet stunners You know that I'm generally not jacked up about red carpet fashion. Too often, it's overdone celebrities wearing costumes that look like they were stolen from a five-year old's fantasy dress up closet.

But, I'll ignore that. What I don't ignore are the few women who opted for stellar chic and clean lines that didn't wear them. Stunning numbers that stood out in a sea of too much. And isn't

Golden Globes Fashion- Red Carpet Best, Worst and why you should make sense of this

Monday morning quarterback time.  It's time to reflect what really stood out-- in both a good and eeech way-- from last night's Golden Globes fashion from the red carpet. If you followed my gut reaction Golden Globes Live Tweets, you have a pretty keen idea of my take on this.  I have a hard time ohhing and ahhing when a trussed up actor is schilling for a big designer and caught up in the "fabulousness" of it all without taking her personal attributes in consideration. If you don't wear something that is organic to your style, figure, type, or the TV cameras it shows, big time. >>MORE: Red Carpet Fashion & Beauty No matter how fantastic a dress may look on
