B Awarded

Last night the fashion world joined together for the CFDA awards. Marc Jacob's was rightfully awarded the womenswear designer of the year while a tribute to the late Alexander McQueen also took place. You could feel the intensity of the moments just through the message tweeting and postings of all in attendance.

Michael Kors received the generational award and had the gorgeous Gwenyth Paltrow in tow as his date. Barbie and Ken couture edition?

Jessica Biel looked stunning in Diane Von Furstenburg handed Marc Jacobs his award.

Ed Westwick did Chuck Bass proud-- well dressed men were in plenty at the awards. As below Hayden Christensen in Richard Chai with the designer down below backs my statement.

And lastly, another moment was taken to admire the life of the late Alexander McQueen. Sarah Jessica Parker began the remembrance and rightfully is dressed in the designer creating perfection.

So we all know that when we have money to spend our first thought is either new shoes, that handbag we've been lusting over or a new top for our night this weekend, have you had a time when your first thought is "I gotta have that cookbook?" I doubt it. But now beware fashionista's this all may change.

Already this year the CFDA brought us Fashion's Night Out, now they're giving us the American Fashion Cookbook! Now just this book over 100 recipes by your favorite designers such as Diane Von Furstenburg, Zac Posen, and one recipe I can't wait to try "Croissant French Toast". Now don't think that is all I'm telling you in this blog post. You think I'm going to let you go into that kitchen without looking fabulous? Don't be silly...

Turn in your "Kiss the Cook" apron and start making a statement in the kitchen. Anthropologie has some of the best kitchen accessories around, now I know I'm biased because this retail store is probably mentioned in every blog but I promise you I am not sponsored (I wish!). The Toile Full Apron is the perfect thing to protect your new Philip Lim dress while cooking up a storm. Also, try Sur La Table for all your cooking utensil needs and of course another cute damask print apron.

Don't underestimate where you could find a great conversation piece. After watching Man Shops Globe, I look at everything in Anthropologie wondering where it came from. For a limited time the retail chain is featuring Paint By Number plates from the print series "111 Reasons Why To Love You" by Trey Speegle. If you are like me you're already wondering how this series got started, now put that on the table and let the conversation begin.
