The Daddy Mac Will Make You Jump! Jump!

Hell yes I listened to Kriss Kross! I think there were even times when I used to try on my overalls backwards, yet it never seemed to look quite right, let alone FEEL quite right. Quite frankily, Kriss Kross has nothing to do with this post except for the mere fact that when I hear the word JUMP, my mind immediately goes to that backassward duo! Well, this spring and summer is all about the jump....or at least the jumpERs! Jumpers and rompers are ALL the rav. While most of you feel looking like a 5 year old or just flat out say, "I can't pull that off," I am here to tell you that you are so far wrong. Rompers and jumpers of today are ultra-flattering. I mean, there are the BAD ones out there that make you look like you just stepped out of a bad episode of Blossom, but when you get a good one, you are making a fashion statement that screams that you know what you are working with!

I already have my list of pieces that I feel are vital to my spring/summer wardrobe and jumpers/rompers are definitely on the list. Loeffler Randall has made my favorite of the season. The "Balloon Jumpsuit" is so freaking cool. It is on my "must-have" list for this warm weather! The fit is amazing, the fabric choice is perfect for dressing up and dressing down, the neckline is ultra-chic, all while maintaining an element of a hip yet precious persona! Seriously it is to DIE FOR!

Loeffler Randall Balloon Jumpsuit $495-, Available at Beanie + Cecil of Wilmington

I am not normally a fan of Juicy Couture, but this romper was so damn hot that it immediately caught my eye. With this one you better hope you have Cher Horowitz stems (and a super toned back). But if you do, wearing this little number will make jaws drop!

Juicy Couture Luxe Fleece Draped-Back Romper $138-, Shopbop

In honor of the Spring Season, let's play with a little color. This inexpensive, easy little romper is perfect for looking chic while fighting off that brutal summer heat! Do like the model and throw your hair on top of your head, then add a little delicate necklace, a great pair of wedges, and you are ready for dinner, a party, a night out....further emphasizing the versatility of a great jumper!

So regardless of which price-point you are shopping for, a great jumper is essential to stay on-trend this spring. So find the right one for your body shape and you have knocked one staple piece off of your list!

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

Oscar night is a night for the stars....some will win and some will lose...both during the award ceremony and on the Red Carpet. The Oscars brings out the best and the worst dressed, and last Sunday was no exception. Every year I snuggle up on my couch with a notebook and paper to write down my notes on "Who Wore What," usually just what pops into my head immediately...one word to spark my memory when I sit back down and rehash the night of glamor. I rarely tend to agree with E!'s Fashion Police...especially Mr. Jay whose own attire was one for the worst dress awards...Tom Ford...you are genius but this smoking jacket was a drastic mistake. Last night there were quit a few people that were in desperate need of a fashion fix....so straight from my notes, here are my comments on the fashion flaws that walked the red carpet.

Mo'nique: Aside from the fact that you don't shave your legs, you had a great look going til you stuck that damn flower in the side of your head. Really what were you thinking? This isn't a luau, it is the Oscars!

Mariah Carey: 90's Prom dress gone bad...but at least you covered more of your boobs this time...I just can't get over you lack of poor taste.

Zoe Saldana: I wanted to like it, I really did...and I am an ombre-loving gal...but this is just a hot mess. Too much going on. It looks like an 80s Barbie dress. The way if flowed when you walked on the stage was exquisite and if it weren't for that deep purple on the end, you would have been a top pick!

Tina Fey: Black again...wow....what a surprise....way to shake things up....and as far as your hair goes...you looked like a 1980's mom heading to an event at the Country Club.

Sigourney Weaver: You just gave yourself an extra 40 pounds. The dress just wasn't right for your body....great color...bad shape.

Faith Hill: Did you borrow this from Elvira's closet?

Miley Cyrus: Can't focus on anything but your hunched over shoulders. I just want to grab them and pull them back.

Charlize Theron: Cinnabon Boobs=Madonna circa 1990...and that is about all I can say.

Luckily....everyone wasn't poorly attired walking the Red Carpet...there were some major fashion moments on the Red Carpet...so let's talk about the best dressed gals of the night...

Maggie Gyllenhaal in Dries Van Noten... Stunning. Definitely fit your personality and up with the current trends of patterned fabric. The blue color was stunning with her complexion and the fit was flawless! Perfect amount of accessorizing so as to not compete with the dress. One of my favorites always, but last night you hit it out of the park!

Amanda Seyfried in Armani Prive Gorgeous, very classic gown that was stunning on her. With the straight bodice, this gown was able to achieve a classic look with a fashion-forward twist. The hair perfectly complimented the gown. She looked like a modern-day princess.

Sandra Bullock in Marchesa. You seriously were dressed to win in this shimmering, gold-beaded gown. The way in which the skirt puddled at your feet was fairytale-like and the addition of the red lips kept you popping and not getting lost in the neutral gown. Supposedly her stepdaughter helped her decide and she definitely made the right choice.

Cameron Diaz (in Oscar de la Renta) and Demi Moore (in Atelier Versace), You both looked stunning..hats off to Rachel Zoe for once again styling you to perfection. Perfect!

Rachel McAdams you looked amazing in Elie Saab Haute Couture. This dress is approachable and easily understood. The watercolored silk organza made a statement of beauty. Effortlessly chic. If I could turn your dress white, this would be my wedding gown. You were AMAZING! Love love love!

SJP...seriously? It almost isn't fair how much more ahead of the trends you are. This Chanel Couture gown was so fashion-forward that it evoked a sense of "was it good or bad?" This is a dress that will undoubtedly land you on the best AND the worst dressed lists...but sometimes that is a good thing...rocking the boat and going out on a limb to try new things is the way in which fashion is created. Many people will question this dress, but I have a hunch that this is just the beginning of something new and different...You are and will always be "Carrie Bradshaw." Thank you for taking a step towards forging yet another new path for us commoners on the fashion trail....beautiful.
