The fashion at the Oscars last night was stunning, everyone was really pushing the limits and most were successful! One dress I really loved was Zoe Saldana’s gown by Riccardo Tisci, it combined so many different ideas into one and blended them all seamlessly!  If you liked her look to then here are some similar less formal looks!

I am a fan of Ella Moss because her dresses are so comfortable!  I would imagine this dress is no exception, and it has a similar color scheme to Zoe’s.  It’s like a casual take on her red carpet gown, shorter and more affordable!  $207

I own so many Betsey Johnson dresses because they are so eye-catching and make a statement!  The idea is similar with the sparkle detail on top and the cinched around the waist to pull the eye to the thinnest part of the body!  $237

Another Betsey Johnson, this one is more in the color family with light sparkles on the top and then popping colors as your eyes move down the dress.  $428

Definitely the only gown in the bunch, this dress is really only similar to Zoe’s in shape.  It cinches at the waist, it’s strapless, and a lot of the detail is below the waist, however as far as color it is very different.  $390

Quilted bags are the epitome of class, Chanel is probably the most famous quilted bag designer, but Marc Jacobs also has entered this market of elite style.  Many celebrities like Paris Hilton, Tory Spelling, and Lauren Conrad are seen with quilted bags, probably because they go with everything but also make enough of a statement to stand alone.

What I like about this Marc Jacobs bag is how classic it is, you’d be able to use it for years and it would never go out of style.  $1350

Normally I feel like Juicy Couture is sort of young, but I really like this pale grey quilted bag.  It has a lot of detailing on the outside which take away from the timeless appeal and makes it more modern, however I don’t feel that this is a bag that you could carry for years.  $118

White is great for spring or summer especially if you just need a small bag for necessities.  This is another timeless bag, this one from Lord and Taylor and it’s great for summer evenings.  $120

Kate Spade makes great bags, and this quilted black leather one is no exception.  A great medium size and style this is a great everyday bag.  $365
