Remember when Sundance was just this small little film festival in a small quaint little mountain town? It didn't attract a ton of attention and some pretty spectacular films came out of it. Well amazing movies are still screened at Sundance but the amount of attention has certainly changed (insert T-Mobile diner, MySpace cafe, Muscle Milk lounge, etc etc here) Though I've said it before and I'll say it again, my most favorite thing about Sundance is that at heart it's still an indie film festival. And the red carpets are treated as such. There are no slinky dresses or fancy updos here - the dress code is mostly jeans, snow boots and puffy jackets. You have to hand it to the starlet who can manage to look uber cool under many many layers...
I told you I would never leave you again. In fact you are going to get sick of me I'm going to be around so much!
Just doing a little catch up on some of my favorites of the weekend. Jessica Szohr is the new Rachel Bilson in my world and Rihanna is fierce as always.
It's dull, dreary, cloudy and rainy here in New York. Clearly this is affecting my moods and the kind of looks I'm liking today.
I'm a bit bitter at all the California girls who are already getting to flaunt their Spring closet additions. Will there ever be a day to wear sandals again??
While everyone eagerly anticipates the Oscars Red Carpet showdown, my own personal favorite Award Show goes on the day before.
The Independent Spirit Awards - call it Award Show Lite. Sure it becomes a bigger circus every year (kind of like Sundance, anyone remember when Sundance was a little independent festival and not a Swag / Gift Bag / Suite Fiesta??) but it's still the most casual and laid back show, it's even in the afternoon and at the beach.
And since we here at It's Only Fashion love seeing celebs in their most laid back every day wear, The Spirit Awards is the sort of in between.
Cocktail dresses, open toe sandals, floral sun dresses... gotta love it.
Check out my favorites from yesterday's Red Carpet after the jump...
I've loved flannels since Angela Chase...so it's no surprise that I'm dying over the return of the plaid fantasticness the past few seasons.
I've already racked up a few flannels and plaid shirts to wear in the fall, but after seeing Michelle Williams in her cozy day wear, I just needed to find more. I'm really feeling the blue color scheme this time around, maybe it's the gloomy weather.
My favorite is from American Eagle...men's! That way it's nice and loose and very comfy.
Best way to wear them - like Michelle over some leggings, or tucked in to your favorite high waisted pants/skirt and topped with a cardigan and riding boots.
Happy shopping!

We are certainly making up for lost time this week... so many events, so many little black dresses...
I like the revolving door of celebrities... like the last two weeks we had Nicole Richie at every party, this week we're having some more NY based events so seeing more of Michelle Williams, Heidi Klum and Rachel Weisz...
I'm personally loving Heidi Klum's new hair...thoughts?
