emmy recap

The Emmys are over. I feel a bit like a kid on the day after Christmas.  The excitement is over but boy, was it fun while it lasted.  

My red carpet favorites:

Lauren Graham was bagged by the critics but I think the look is fashion forward and gorgeous. I loved her gladiator sandals too!

Not in love with the hairstyle, but I think Rose Byrne looks stunning in this Gucci dress.

Gorgeous. Navy was definitely the color of the evening. I think Julie Bowen looks great for a woman of any age!

Amy Pohler gave birth THREE WEEKS AGO.  Seriously? Amazing.

Jennifer Carpenter looks stunning. I'd die for that body.

I loved the simplicity of Kyra Sedgwick's gown.

I loved Jenna Fischer's dress and hair.  I thought the whole look was spot on. 

My favorite moments of the show:

Everything about Jimmy Fallon hosting, Jim Parsons winning Best Actor in a Comedy Series {!!!}, Eric Stonestreet winning Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series {and Jesse Tyler Ferguson's tears}, Jane Lynch bringing home the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series and Modern Family winning for Best Comedy. And Clooney. Of course, Clooney! 

I wish Dexter would have taken the award for Best Drama and I would have loved to see Amy Pohler recognized for her hilarious work on Parks & Recreation last year.  And I could have done without the extension of Kate Gosselin's 15 minutes of fame.  Loved the opening number but did we really have to include her?  Ick. 

Overall, I thought it was a great show honoring a great year of TV.  I'm more excited than ever for all my favorite shows to return this fall.  What were your favorite Emmy moments?

You are missing Lea Michelle! Her dress was FAB!
I have a list of "Red Carpet Misses". Did you see what Rita Wilson was wearing? It was HORRIFIC. Looked like she had chandeliers on her feet!

Jenna and Julie looked great. I loved Lea's dress too.

I'm with you on the opening scene - it was all awesome except for Kate Gosselin. Just. Go. Away.

I would do bad things right this second if it meant that one day I could look like Amy P three weeks after the nugget drop.

Love all your picks!

I totally missed the Emmys on Sunday (hangs head in shame). Damn it! But I did check out all the dresses yesterday online. You picked some of my favorites too. Loved Jenna's dress - I'm not usually a fan of her red carpet looks but she was beautiful. Also loved Jen Carpenter and Kyra. Plus, you know I have a total Lorelai Gilmore obsession, so I LOVED Lauren Graham!

I'm loving all the new styles! I could have also done without Kate altogether. Ugh.
