Last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards were full of glamour & entertainment, especially since the starlets of the night were all dressed up in some of the most sought after designers. My favorites featured in this edition of Red Carpet Review include Carrie Underwood in Abed Mahfouz, Taylor Swift in J. Mendel, & Hillary Scott in an elegant black gown! Check out the gallery below to see who wore what for the ceremony! Happy Styling!

Runway Rundown / Watch This Style: Fashion Star Designers @Saks, Macy’s, & H&M!

On Tuesday nights, NBC’s Fashion Star airs its 4th episode, featuring designers who market their creations for buyers from Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, & H&M. These designers are under the watchful eyes of mentors Nicole Richie, Jessica Simpson, & John Varvatos. The show is hosted by supermodel Elle Macpherson, & allows shoppers to buy the winning looks online after the show, as well as in stores the following day.
Take a look at some of the winning looks, which aren’t all available for purchase anymore, but I love how easy Style Darlings can access these designs right away. Even though I’m a super duper Project Runway addict, this show is happily filling in the fashionable gap for me. Check out the video posted below in case you haven’t seen the show yet!

Quickie Darling Deal & Steal: Flat Fever For Spring!
I’ve made it no secret that I’ve been super busy these last few weeks b/c of my full-time job for Ladies Outfitters. I’ve had to change the whole way I get ready for work in the morning since I’m a commuter on the train & have to do plenty of walking to the subways & then to the office. In turn, my relationship with my feet has changed. I’ll never relinquish my love for high heels, but I have to be reasonable in considering footwear since so much of my getting to & from work is by foot. Therefore, I’m yet again featuring flats!
Easter is just around the corner, which means that all sorts of flats are currently out & about in stores! This includes flirty floral patterns, brights in patent, & neutral textures that can be worn with several different looks. I’m mad for these Dexter Claire scrunch flats ($19.99) in ivory & black from Payless since the colors are right up my alley & they offer plenty of comforting support in the insole, which is perfect for a writer-on-the-go like myself.
I’m currently in possession of a 20% off coupon (code: 66284, expires 4/8/12), which gives me a whole week to try & find these shoes. They’re out of stock on the website in my size, but perhaps one of these nights, I can find them at one of the many store locations in my area!

Red Carpet Review: Emma Roberts Makes The Rounds!
Ever since the first time I saw Emma Roberts hit the red carpet, which I can’t even remember when, I’ve loved her feminine & fashion forward style. She’s been off the radar for a while, but I’m happy to see that the Scream 4 star has returned to red carpets & is celebrating various events with some serious style.
After finding these images (check out In Style‘s Look of the Day series), I knew I had to feature the young starlet. Her style is a cool combination of classic, youthful, & effortless. I love the wavy shag she’s been sporting, as well as all of those fancy satin heels!

While checking out the Juicy Couture collection, Emma’s donning a printed shift dress by the brand, with major satin platforms. Emma attended the premiere of Manon at Lincoln Center in this embellished Yves Saint Laurent sweetheart jumpsuit & sleek minaudiere. The rising fashion icon hit a party for Salvatore Ferragamo in a bowed blouse and buffed trousers, adding a pop of color in some adorable blue satin pumps. Emma continues to prove that she’s fierce when it comes to outfits, especially in this Jonathan Saunders blouse, wide leg trousers, jewelry by Caleo, & a black Swarovski clutch.
Which look of Emma’s is your favorite? What do you think of the satin heels? If you’re interested in shopping for affordable satin pumps, check out the following links to Target, Macy’s, Piperlime, & 6PM!
