Red Carpet: 2013 Emmy Awards {My FAVES!!}

The 65th Primetime Emmy Awards were held September 22, 2013. A lot of ladies came to the red carpet looking rather glamorous, which is the ideal look for the Academy Awards.

Within the past few years, 'glam' and 'chic' have formed a pretty solid bond {I'M A FAN OF CHIC APPEAL}. Chic adds that extra something to a look.

You know I love to pick my faves for the red carpets {some of these chicks are regulars}. I look for personal style, like does this look represent who's wearing it?. I also look for head-to-to cohesiveness and just that overall eye-catching appeal...#StyleConfidenceIT!
