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?

Last Friday The View did a special segment called Red, White and Blue Fashion with a guest appearance by style expert Katrina Szish. Miss Szish showcased Fourth of July outfits for multiple events ranging from a day at the beach to a fireworks bash.

We were all thrilled to see a Shop It To Me item featured in the BBQ look: this T-Bags romper at 50% off! Even though the Fourth of July has already passed, so many people wrote in to support@shopittome.com asking about this romper that we think it’s only fair to share it with you, our loyal blog followers!  …And besides, the sun is in the sky and romper season is far from over!

Burberry’s done it again… blown our minds, that is. Call us materialistic, but does this video highlighting the cast in the new Burberry ad campaign not make you squeal!? The models and the clothing are equally and astonishingly beautiful…

Today Burberry launched their new, interactive AW2010 ad campaign. Labeled “the ads of the future” (Grazia), you can use your mouse to scroll over the image and make the models change positions, walk around, and, well, come to life! I know I spent a few minutes totally captivated, while I would typically scan a standard image in a couple seconds and be on my way. First their Art of the Trench website, and now this! Burberry has found fun, innovative ways to utilize the digital world and help sell their product… so classic, yet so very modern!

There are more ways to go green than by mixing blue and yellow. With Earth Day approaching on Thursday, we wanted to share a few fashionable ways to celebrate our world!

Love of Two Cities tote by Catherine Malandrino

We came across these adorably colorful eco-totes by Catherine Malandrino and are finding them pretty irresistible. Inspired by the designer’s love for New York and Paris, the “J’ai Deux Amours” tote is created from 95% recycled materials and priced at a very reasonable $25. Show your appreciation for these iconic cities, respect for the earth, and impeccable fashion sense all a the same time. Pick one up at your local Catherine Malandrino boutique!

Ride your bike

We realize this is no revolutionary request, but with designers like Chanel making bikes, and Alexander Wang creating chic spandex shorts, this is a trend that’s bound to catch on. While forking over $17,000 for this two-wheeler may not be the most practical use of paper, it sure is one pretty piece of machinery!

Shop Vintage

Hit up your local thrift store, or shop vintage/second hand online via eBay or Etsy. You’ll likely find some super stylish, one-of-a-kind designs on the cheap. Plus, you’ll be recycling while enjoying a favorite pastime!

Add our eco-friendly brands!

Last but not least, don’t forget to add eco-friendly brands like Edun, Loomstate, and Matt & Nat to your Shop It To Me profile!

What’s better than a Zac Posen outfit? You may be answering “nothing” to this question in your head…

It’s true – there are very few things that have equivalent impact in the fashion world. Only problem is Zac’s creations typically range around $1000 and up (way up). Until now! Introducing Z Spoke – a sporty and affordable line designed by Mr. Posen himself, which is being sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue. The best part? Prices start at just $78!

Here are a few looks we’re loving from the collection:
