Last night marked the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards, and, as usual, the Red Carpet pre-show had us glued to our televisions. Some celebs took the classic route with black or tan gowns, but a few of them went wild in violet and electric blue! We always love seeing more adventurous styles when it comes to award shows. They don’t call it entertainment for nothin’!

If you were attending an award show swarming with celebrities, what would you do: play it safe in a simple but gorgeous gown, or take a risk and sport a stand-out look?

Earlier this week we sent some of our our LA-area Shop It To Me members to the VIP Hollywood premiere of Going the Distance, starring Drew Barrymore.

If you longed for one of the gorgeous dresses the actresses wore down the red carpet, we have good news. The floral corset dress Malin Akerman sported just days ago is now on sale — it gets better — for $99.99. It looks like a million bucks, if we do say so ourselves.

Get it before it’s gone!

After a whopping 102 episodes, split unevenly between 6 different seasons, The Hills has finally ended. Whether you loved the drama or despised the materialistic image the show portrayed, the media attention that these “reality” stars received is hard to ignore. Even though you will no longer be able to get your weekly fix of fictional drama labeled reality, the stars of the show still live on…and so do their wardrobes. Now the majority of us don’t get paid upwards of $80,000 per 10 minutes we appear on a screen “living” our lives, so to cope with this minor travesty we have scavenged Shop It To Me to pull items worn by your favorite Hills stars, now offered at more affordable prices:

Kristin Cavallari was spotted in this gorgeous Alice + Olivia Casey Cluster Sequin Dress. Kristin certainly looks dazzling in this dress, and its simplistic cut allows for a multitude of shoe pairings, so you can add your own personal flair to this piece. We’re somewhat surprised that Kristin didn’t buy this dress in black since that seems to be her color of choice, but maybe she was in a good mood.

Was: $485, via Shop It To Me: $340

Audrina Patridge has been photographed on numerous occasions wearing these Rich and Skinny ‘Super Skinny Jeans’. The distressed denim can be accessorized accordingly to bring out the rocker-chick look that Audrina prefers in the company of Justin Bobby, or the girly-girl look that she favors when around her female counterparts.

The last few episodes of The Hills reveal to us that Lo Bosworth must have some sort of secret life outside of her TV persona. What with the magical appearance of her boyfriend Scott, who all of the sudden loves her very much and wants to move in with her, we begin to wonder how well we really know Lo. Putting aside our immense confusion in regards to Scott, we fondly remember these Marni ‘Suede Platform Sandals’ Lo wore in the Season 6 premiere.

Reg: $825, via Shop It To Me: $422.50

We were also particularly intrigued by this Elizabeth and James IV Blazer that BOTH Lo and Lauren Conrad have been seen wearing…clearly they have not been coordinating very well.

Reg: $395, via Shop It To Me: $276.50

We hope that the conclusion of The Hills will coincide with the conclusion of our unfulfilled longing for a gorgeous Chanel bag that every single girl on the show seems to own, but until that time comes, we will be frantically checking our Salemail hoping that our needs can be satisfied at a hefty discount!

Royal Ascot is a key event in the UK’s social calendar. Dating back to the 18th century it is particularly well known for Ladies Day, when ladies sport the most spectacular hats.

Royal Ascot has lived up to its reputation for weird and wacky head gear this year, including a compilation of London sights (Big Ben and the London Eye), a giant ice-cream, horses head and a huge model of the Wold Cup trophy, as well as the usual feathers, fluff and dangly bits!

This year’s fashion winners were beautiful blues as seen on Amanda Holden, Jasmine Guinness, Princess Beatrice and even the Queen.

If you love a sky blue check out this RM by Roland Mouret linen blend dress – a steal at £409 reduced from £1023 or if sober navy is more you the Calvin Klein silk shift now £277 from £797.

We also loved the fact that some celebrities looked like they’d stepped off the set of My Fair Lady with their monochrome outfits; Jasmine Guinness with a fabulous Stephen Jones creation, Erin O’Connor, Kate Silverton, Holly Valance, Carol Vorderman and Louise Redknapp.

To be honest every girl needs a good little back dress as one of her wardrobe essentials. We like this McQ Alexander McQueen dress reduced to £157 from £315 or the Vivienne Westwood Anglomania black drape dress.

Coachella may be only a memory, but this doesn’t mean we can put spring/summer music festival style behind us! With the New Orleans Jazz Festival just passed, and a long lineup of festivals approaching, there’s no better time than now to get your closet concert-ready.

Coachella was flooded tons of our favorite celebrities, and some of these ladies really know a thing or two about style! Rachel Bilson, Camilla Belle, and Alexa Chung nailed it with their chic, casual looks. Checking out photos from festivals past is a great way to find outfit inspiration…

When it comes to festival attire – there are two main things to consider: looking stylish, and feeling comfortable. Think loose, flowy dresses and airy jumpers. Top off your look with a solid pair of sunnies and don’t be afraid to pile on the jewelry!

For all those in the UK… we know many of you even made the trek to Coachella! So no matter where you live – whether you’re waiting for Bonnaroo or gearing up for Glastonbury – Sale Spot has what you need to land your music-inspired masterpiece!

1. Marc by Marc Jacobs Disco Stripe Romper: was $248, now $173 2. Antik Batik Embellished Maxi Dress: was $186, now $109 3. ASOS satin and chain headband: was $13, now $8 4. Free People denim boyfriend shorts: was $78, now $45 5. Free People tunic dress: was $128, now $89 6. Steve Madden boots: was $149, now $49

And if you forget everything we’ve said, let us just leave you with this: be creative and have a blast! Festivals are the perfect time to get funky and have a little fun with fashion!

Overall, we thought the fashion from last night’s Oscars was pretty fantastic! But while many stars looked dazzling, what fun would it be if we didn’t choose favorites? Here are the looks we’re really loving from the 2010 Academy Awards:

Clockwise from top left: Elizabeth Banks in Versace, Kristen Stewart in Monique Lhuillier, Rachel McAdams in Elie Saab, Demi Moore in Versace, Carey Mulligan in Prada, Zoe Saldana in Givenchy couture

We could go on for days with reasons why we love Kelly Ripa. She’s funny, charming, intelligent, and oh SO stylish. Which is why we were thrilled to find the shirt she wore on Monday’s Live with Regis & Kelly in our Salemails this morning!

Why, yes she is — because her Juicy Couture coat popped up in your Salemail! Celebrity style strikes again. Snag Anna’s elegant look before it sells out.

We love the eclectic look of mixing prints. (How amazing was Shopbop’s “Print on Print” spring lookbook?) Taylor Swift definitely seems to have embraced the style, pairing a striped dress with Free People patterned tights.

Free People Double Dye Tight, Reg: $24, Now: $9.95

We were delighted when Taylor’s adorable chevron tights showed up in Salemail! They come in 2 equally eye-catching colors – great for adding some extra interest to a printed ensemble.

…And did we mention they only cost $10?

Though the red carpet looks from last night’s Grammy Awards were less impressive than we’d hoped, there were still a handful of designs that caught our eye. We noticed a few risk-takers (Lady Gaga, Ciara, and Britney Spears, to name a few), and to our disappointment a few more who played it entirely too safe. Really, can you imagine a better opportunity to get dolled up and flaunt some funky fashion?

Four of our favorites were Leah Michele, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, and Rihanna (clockwise from top left).

Who were your favorites from the red carpet? We’d love your thoughts!
