Everything She Wants

By now, we've all reviewed the hits and misses of the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards.  So we know what looks-for-less we'd like to wear to our next formal event (or at least the imaginary gala in our heads). Everything She Wants  adored Sofia Vergara's va-va-va voom midnight blue, fishtail Vera Wang gown and Reese Witherspoon looked sexier than ever in her skin-tight, scarlet Zac Posen mermaid gown (apparently a new hubby does a body good). Photo credit: Dalia MacPhee Thanks to the Los Angeles-based evening wear line, Dalia MacPhee, we can get these red carpet looks -- plus several other choice celebrity knock-offs -- for under $400. Known for their intricate beading and rich fabric blends, Dalia MacPhee dresses are available at Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus locations nationwide.  See the entire collection online .

Stylist  Nicole Brewer  works with David's Bridal and walked me through an exclusive blogger preview at the spacious, light-filled Chelsea store. New for fall 2011, David's Bridal introduced the modern DB Studio Collection inspired by the hottest looks from the red carpet and the biggest royal wedding in decades. So get your Kate and Pippa replicas online and at select DB stores. Me in dress pick #1 with stylist Nicole Brewer. The biggest surprise, however, is the brand's stylish selection of special occasion and party dresses that start at just $...

Happy St. Patty's Day everybody!  So what shade of green are you wearing today?  Green is one of my favorite colors -- especially olive -- and I'll subtly give a nod to the holiday by wearing my Army green utility jacket. If I were going to wave my Kermit freak flag higher, however, I would draw inspiration from these celebrity red carpet moments that left me green with envy. Angelina Jolie brought back old Hollywood glamour in this emerald gown by Atelier Versace at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. Nicole Kidman in a stunning, embroidered chartreuse gown by John Galliano for Christian Dior at the 1997 Academy Awards. Mila Kunis proves she's one to watch on the red carpet in this regal green gown by Vera Wang at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards
