Balenciaga Handbags

What's your first thought when you hear the word "Balenciaga"? A perfectly stylized woman, not too elegant, with just a hint of glamour and accessories to die for is the image that pops in my head when someone mentions it. Although this fashion brand offers very sophisticated clothing pieces made of the most quality fabrics, it's their bags that have to be given credit for making this brand one of the most popular ones among young fashionistas. The most famous models are surely Balenciaga City & Balenciaga First bag.

They're very simple and available in every single color which is maybe one of the main reasons why Balenciaga bags are so coveted. Yes, you can wear them with any look: with blazers, every type of jeans, color blocking, floral prints, shorts or skirts, flowy dresses... Balenciaga handbag is worth every penny as you can play mixing and matching with it, and guess what, it will suit every outfit you pick. Celebs are already crazy about them, Nicole Richie even has Balenciaga bags in almost every color.

My favorite ones are oversized Balenciaga clutches that take biker chic to a whole new level. Although it's made to be rockish, I've noticed that many girls pair it with elegant outfits too!

Fashion's Biggest Night: The Oscars 2012

 Hollywood's most important night of 2012. when it comes to movie and fashion industry is certainly The Oscars. On this evening we find out who are the best actors and actresses, who is the new style icon, who is n0.1 designer of the 2012, which couture designs are the most desirable at the moment and so on. This year there are some newly discovered stars such as Rooney Mara, and some fash surprises: Maria Menounos, who looks better than ever in a mint green grecian gown, Stacy Keibler in a gold Marchesa gown, Milla Jovovich in Elie Saab gown completed by a slick Edie Parker clutch and lots of diamonds.

Although medias are joking that the most famous womanizer George Clooney brought his own Oscar statue,  there's no joke when we say that this golden girl is one of the hottest girls at The Oscars.

"My week with Marilyn" star and Oscar nominee Michelle Williams wore a red Louis Vuitton gown, and we now understand why she got that flattering role: Michelle is almost as pretty and sexy as Marilyn herself! 

E! television reporter Giuliana Rancic looked fashionable as always: she wore a bejeweled nude gown by Tony Ward and a perfect bun. 

Penelope Cruz wore a stunning Giorgio Armani gown with a fitted bodice, while Cameron Diaz looked fabulous in a nude Gucci gown matched with Tiffany & co. jewelry worth almost 1 million dollars! Angelina Jolie was in a black Atelier dress and no jewelry. Too simple for this gala event.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara was too much dramatic in an art-deco gown by Givenchy, very pale, with some serious bangs and bloody red lipstick

Our favorites were Maria Menounos, J.Lo, Rachel Smith, Penelope Cruz and Emma Stone who was all glammed up in a red Giambattista Valli. This girl is officially our new style icon!

 Miss Lopez is no longer Jenny From The Block, and this Zuhair Murad backless gown proves it! She had Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, an elegant bun, smokey eye makeup, neutral nude lips and accentuated cheek bones. This woman can never go wrong!

 Meryl Streep was ladylike in a gold Lanvin gown matched with a mini clutch, while Gwyneth Paltrow rocked a white Tom Ford dress.

Anna Farris looks much older in this black Diane von Furstenberg all-covered gown, doesn't she? The long bob doesn't suit her quite the best.

Rose Byrne wore a black sequined gown by Vivienne Westwood . Jessica Chastain looked gorgeous in Alexander McQueen matched with Harry Winston jewelry. She brought her grandma as a date, which gives her some extra points!

The worst dressed? Definitely Viola Davis, Sandra Bullock and Anna Faris with wrong hairstyle and dress.
Busy Phillips and young Sarah Hyland left us indifferent.

Ellie Kemper in Armani Prive

Missi Pyle in Valentina Delfino

Nancy O'Dell in Chagoury Couture

Dominating trends? All shades of nude, backless dresses and sequins, even though sequin embellished outfits don't look good on everyone.
