Insta-Grammy's

As we all know, the 56th Annual Grammy Awards were last night, and if you weren't aware, how's that rock you've been living under?!

While I, as well as everyone else on the planet, have my own opinions on the winners/losers/performers from last night, I would like to touch upon some very important observations I need to get off my chest (as told by Instagrams/Tweets)

First of all, American royalty was very obviously in attendance last night (and I'm not talking about Queen Latifa, even though she was there, too...) and she unsurprisingly looked amazing.

HOWEVER:

I need to get this comparison that isn't being addressed off my chest-

While it is quite obvious that Queen Bey's dress is far superior, the similarities are somewhat undeniable, and entirely upsetting to make a comparison between Paris Hilton and Beyonce.

While this comparison weighed on my mind for the majority of the night, the series of comparisons that took place on Twitter regarding a certain head covering on a certain age-less musical genius:

Pharrell's hat caused the biggest stir, with everyone jumping on the bandwagon, even

Gain laundry detergent........which I obviously loved.

But staying classy like the gentleman he (probably) is, Pharrell responded with a hilarious tweet at the (sub-par) sandwich giant.

I Blame Nemo.

I blame Nemo (not the adorable fish from the Pixar classic) but this horrendous blizzard for my lack of posts recently. Shame on me, especially with New York Fashion Week in full swing! The holiest of weeks in my world and I have been completely remiss.

To start on my catch-up of the last few weeks (gasp!) we must first acknowledge the Grammy's were last night. I obviously have my favorites, but I am going to attempt to separate my love for the celebrity and the actual ensemble worn.
This is especially hard concerning Adele. I love her music, personality, voice, etc, etc. and I am so proud she wore something other than a black a-line dress, but as one of my friends said, "she looks like a 70's lampshade" (hey Tad). I wouldn't go THAT far, but I do agree this was not the most flattering nor the most beautiful dress she has ever worn.

Next, to put it plainly, Rihanna stole the show. Girlfriend was rocking some loose, gorgeous waves with impeccable makeup and Azzedine Alaia red gown that, in terms of general Grammy's fashion as well as her usual style is very conservative.
