Karlie Goes Wild


I'm in love with these photos by Steven Klein for Vogue March 2013.  It's always refreshing to see a model who has become very familiar change to almost unrecognizable.  That's definitely the case in these photos of model Karlie Kloss.  I'm curious...what are your thoughts on the gorgeous outfits?

2013 Vanity Fair Oscar Party


The Oscars coverage has been everywhere, but I couldn't help sharing some of my favorite photos from the Vanity Fair Oscar party.  I love the photos from Getty Images.  They are so artistic and beautiful and really capture the old Hollywood glamour of the event.  Take a look.

(I loved the color and texture of this dress that Lily Collins wore)

(Zooey Deschanel looking ethereal)




(This is one of my favorite looks of the night.  Juliette Lewis looks adorable)



Love the black and whites.  Which photo is your favorite?  Hope you all had a great Tuesday!

2013 Oscars Best and Worst Dressed

(This was my favorite of the night.  I don't think the color was the best choice for Jessica Chastain's fair skin, but loved the overall look.  It was classic, lovely, and very well put-together).

Did you watch the show?  Thoughts?  I'm not sure how I feel about Seth MacFarlane as the host.  Was he funny?  Not really.  Cheesy?  A bit, but aren't most award hosts a little cheesy?  I do wish they would just get Amy and Tina to host everything...but moving on.  There were a few timeless looks that I loved last night, and a few that I hope we will never remember.  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Were you in agreement with me?  Who were your favorites?

(Best looking couple.  Ben and Jen looking fantastic as always.  They both just seem like such genuine, down-to-earth people too.  He should have been nominated for Best Director).

(This was one of my favorite looks of the night.  She just looked beautiful.  Octavia Spencer did it again this year, so lovely).

(The feelings were mixed on Twitter about Reese and her Louis Vuitton gown.  I loved it.  I was glad she didn't follow suit and do the nude thing, but chose a pop of color.  I love the bow accent at the top, and the lines of the dress were gorgeous.  How can you not love Reese?)

(It wasn't my favorite, but I did think it was lovely and fit her figure well.  Jennifer Lawrence could pretty much wear a paper bag and look good in it.  The necklace that hung down the back was stunning).

(I'm such a Naomi Watts fan.  She has this timeless quality about her, and she's also very classy.  This is a dress that I don't think many could have pulled off without looking costume-y.  She did it well and looked like a star).

(Ok, I'm choosing Jennifer for one reason only...I like the fact that she wore a hot color and the gown is very pretty.  I just wish she would do something different for once, like maybe hair up, or something a bit more edgy?)

(Was it me or did Amy Adams appear very sad or upset?  I didn't think she interviewed very well at all.  The dress was lovely and I loved the train.  The hair and makeup?  Not so much).

(I loved Stacy Keibler's gown.  I'm a bit shocked to see they are still together, but hey, ride that train as long as you can girlfriend!  He is George Clooney after all!  BTW, who thinks George is looking a bit like Sean Connery?)

And Now for the misses:



AND THE WORST OF THE WORST:
CONGRATULATIONS BRANDI GLANVILLE!!!!  YOU NOT ONLY LOOKED AWFUL, BUT HAD NO BUSINESS WHATSOEVER BEING AT THE OSCARS!


Hope you all enjoyed my recap!  I'd love to hear your thoughts.  What were your favorites and hated moments from the show?

Sixties Siren


The 60's seem to everywhere lately.  I'm currently obsessing over the new show, "Vegas" on CBS and it's wonderful portrayal of Las Vegas in the 1960's.  The style of the 60's was so much fun, the pastels popped, and the accessories can appear almost campy.  If you're a fan of the show, or love "Mad Men," you might just be in love with these gorgeous photos from Elle Magazine.  







(Loving those gloves!)

What a Stud


My jewelry tastes often vary depending upon what season it is.  I love a long, dramatic earring in the winter with a great sweater, and I love a pair of adorable studs in the summer with shorts and a tee.  There are so many gorgeous studs to choose from, but of course anything gold is my favorite.  They look great with a pony and some cute flip flops.  Take a look at some of my favorites.






Well, which ones do you love?  Want your own?  Get a fabulous pair here!

Milan Fashion Week--Street Style Fall 2013


I hope you're all having a great week.  I'm once again battling a horrible cold.  The hot and cold weather isn't helping much here in southern CA.  As long as I have plenty of fashion inspiration around, I'll be ok.  And, oh look, photos from Milan Fashion Week...I'm feeling better already.

I'm In The Mood...


For the perfect pump.  I've been dreaming about adding a little bit of shoe porn to my collection, and I found a few I'm drooling over at Nordstrom.  


Hello lover...ok I know it's a bit cliche now, but I'm absolutely in love with these delicious Steve Madden Ravesh pumps.  The color is stunning and the bow just puts them over the top.  
$148.95


Oh my...where to begin?  The euphoric feeling one must have from owning these black beauties is what dreams are made of.  $1,095 and they're yours


I may be the biggest Kate Spade fan I know, but you're sure to jump on board when you see their updated take on the Mary Jane.  The Laila pump runs $350


Black and gold is always a great combo.  I'd wear these with just about everything.  Michael Kors Aria Pump $184.95


A heart and a platform?  These may be the perfect pump.  What a beautiful shoe.  What would you wear them with? Charlotte Olympia Delphine Pump $895
