Carrey Mulligan gave everyone An Education at the 2010 SAG Awards, in how to dress. Stunning in her scarlet Lanvin gown and Fred Leighton jewels, we instantly fell in love with this look, and are bringing you the CliffsNotes version on how to put together a similar style.

This lovely red strapless formal gown by Alyce Designs is very similar.  As is this red silk Georgette dress, by Nicole Miller.  I’m also really digging this handmade dress from Etsy, which – while different – leaves a similar, but less formal (more fun) impression.

To replicate Carrey’s lovely Lanvin brooch, we recommend this piece by Daisy Days.  And these awesome snake earrings, from Lauren by Ralph Lauren.  To finish this smart ensemble, we chose this blush clutch from J. Furmani.

Monthly Inspiration: November 2009 November 2nd, 2009 By

I received word this morning that Loveland, Colorado, had its first snow last night.  The depth measured 14″, and there were talks of cancelling school if it didn’t stop soon.  Looking out my own window, it was a cool but sunny 64° in Los Angeles — and it was only 7:30 a.m.  Work was definitely not getting cancelled.  I slid on my flip flops (against my East Cost upbringing) and hurried out the door.

Remember when you were a kid and your mom took you shopping and told you that you could buy whatever you wanted?  What you wanted was a hypercolor t-shirt, but none of the stores had any because it was November on the East Coast.  I wish I could transport back in time to when I was 7 and tell my mom that it didn’t matter if the store didn’t have any hypercolor t-shirts.  What she needed to do was go on beso.com to order one online.

Now, beso doesn’t have any hypercolor t-shirts because the original manufacturer has long since filed for bankruptcy.  But what we do have is a goldmine of the best  prices for brands and stores, in order to prevent you from going bankrupt, too.  This month, our experts will be sharing with you all of the greatest deals on clothing, shoes, accessories, bags, and more.  New to the blog is our Nesting Spot section, where we will be commenting on home-related furniture and decor.  We will also be debuting our much-awaited Get Cooking feature, where everything kitchen-related will be tried, tested, and reviewed to the core.  This November you can expect tips for the perfect Harvest Table and other Thanksgiving-themed posts.

Be sure to check back daily for our other regular features.  Every Monday, we will be deconstructing some of the hottest outfits in Get This Look, and our editors will have scoured the web for their Editor’s Picks.  Finally, in the next few days, we will be announcing the winner of our beso Lucky Sweepstakes, where one lucky facebook fan will win a fabulous designer bag!

How do you beso lucky?  With beso.com!

Happy shopping,

Mara
