Channel A Part-Time Greek Goddess In A Draped Skirt

The Grecian trend is wonderful. Pieces that borrow from this look are so dignified without being over done. The folds of the fabric and the long, luscious styles - particularly evident in goddess dresses - create a floating, ethereal look. And the styles can range from somewhat casual to elegant and more formal. One of the best ways to incorporate this Grecian detailing into an outfit - without making a major trend commitment - is to utilize one of the strong suits of this style: draping. Even a draped skirt is a good place to start. You may not look quite like you could walk out of the heavens on a cloud but hey - even a goddess needs a break! These skirts tend to be somewhat high waisted and look best with a structured top that's easily tucked in. Consider wearing it with a frilly blouse or even a fitted t-shirt. This look is much more low maintenance than an all-out Grecian-inspired ensemble, but it still easily rises to the occasion! See more on this trend and many others at TheFind.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards for short) is probably best known as one of the ways to predict who will win an Oscar at the upcoming Academy Awards next month. So according to last night's award show, "Slumdog Millionaire" will take top honors and Kate Winslet will finally have an Oscar on her mantle after all these years.

New York Fashion Week Runway: Max Azria Brings Back Elegance ...

Sabrina Newman on Sep 11, 2008 7:51 AM PDT

The Max Azria Spring 2009 collection was all about modern elegance and soft femininity - a major detour from the edgy, vixen-esque aesthetic that dominated the fall collection. Vibrant colors and graphic prints were abandoned in favor of shaded neutrals and monochrome look adding that ethereal goddess element that can€™t help but make you feel incredibly beautiful. Silhouettes ranged from tightly structured pants suits to highly fluid and with jersey dresses expertly draped and twisted in a manner that almost looked haphazard (but obviously wasn€™t!), breathing new life into the timeless Grecian goddess trend.

Colors: White, beige, taupe, navy, pale grey; sea green.
Celeb Sightings: Michelle Trachtenberg, Joy Bryant, Barbara Bush, Tinsley Mortimer, and Maggie Betts.
