You have your wine, popcorn, and fashionista girlfriends all ready for that Super Bowl of style, Sunday's Academy Awards. Watching the red carpet can leave you green. You dream of couture and caviar, but your reality is more like the sale rack and Ritz crackers.
Still, you can do better than answering "Forever 21" if you're ever asked "who are you wearing?" Just try on these celeb-designed lines on for style.
For Your Closet
Two too Chic
They gained stardom when they were just old enough to play dress up. Now Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson's designs are definitely all grown up. Their Elizabeth and James line includes everything from not-so-basic blazers to flowy tunics and flouncy skirts amped up with details like beaded backs and leather waistbands.
Elizabeth and James is available at Neiman Marcus in Ala Moana Center, 808.951.8887
For the Bride
