And the Emmy goes to...Beyonce! Wait, what? That was the VMAs? Oh. Well, I'd still give it to her, but since the VMAs are really just a mess of who can show the most boobs and booty let's skip over that and talk about The Emmys. Monday night, huh? I kinda dig it! Most people played it pretty safe. Let's face it, this red carpet is not the most exciting, but it's still fun! Lots of red and white...and a few pink ombre ruffled messes (cough, cough, Lena Dunham- we'll get to that later), and just a couple sparkled stunners. So without further adieu, let's dive in- complete with #hashtags! One of my favorite looks from the night! Julia Roberts in Elie Saab #legsforday Gorgeous, stunning, striking- LOVED Lizzy Caplan in Donna Karan Atelier #yougoglencoco I was surprised at how much I liked Hayden Panettiere in Lorena Szabo. Pregnancy looks good on her! #preggoperfection #suckerforsparkles Another gorgeous Elie Saab dress from a mega movie star, but completely different from Julia Roberts #allhailhalle Sofia Vergara in Roberto Cavalli #becauseduh Oh and PS, there was this. Please discuss... #girlbye

Does anyone else wake up on a Saturday morning and think style? OK, actually first I think coffee, then I think style. There are always so many events going on, especially during the summer, that I often find myself mentally going through my closet before I've even wiped the sleep out of my eyes. And, as my entire blog indicates, I take a lot of notes from things I see on TV. My spirit animal, Nicole Richie, is back on the media circuit promoting her new VH1 show "Candidly Nicole". I've been following the series since it first popped up as web short on AOL last year, so you know I'll be tuning in on July 17th (#notsponsored #justloveher ). As usual, Nic is nailing it with her high fashion looks...like the Pucci print she wore on Jimmy Fallon. While Pucci is not attainable for most of us (tip: you can find some scores if you dig through "The Runway" section of TJ Maxx) let prints be your muse for summer with some more affordable frocks. The inspiration: Nicole Richie in Emilio Pucci Fall 2014 BONUS STYLE SWAP! Nicole Richie's Erdem Allegra Dress Cedar Park for ASOS Floral Mirror Print Pencil Dress
I am still recovering from PLL100. So much to discuss! The Emison kiss, Caleb's weird hair, Ezria forever...and ohh the massive explosion??! But most importantly- the fashion. Hanna's hangover chic is simply inspired. Obsessed with the shades. And Alison can't keep a dead mom and budding lesbian romance keep her from a geek chic cat T-shirt. Taylor Swift would be so proud. Those and more odds and ends from PLL100 below. Meow! Hanna's sunglasses- "Prada oversized square sunglasses" Hanna's beanie- "BDG Cuffed Rib-Knit Beanie" Alison's Cat T-shirt- "Sandro Elie Top" Alison's trench- "Bebe Bianca Coated Trench Coat"
The unofficial start of start of summer has come and gone, which means beach season is underway in many parts of the country. Despite what may have been the longest winter in years, I still feel like warm weather crept up quickly- leaving me unprepared to bare all on the sand. That's why I'm loving Jessica Simpson's one-piece with cutouts by Mara Hoffman. The queen of graphic prints delivers a fun, sexy vibe, while still being a little more covered up. Weird tan lines be damned! Who really cares when we all use fake tanner anyway? Check out some more (less expensive) one-piece wonders below! Jessica Simpson in Mara Hoffman Victoria's Secret Flounce One-piece ...also comes in super cute floral print!
You've been hearing about it for weeks, if not months, and now the H&M "Conscious Collection" is live on their website and in select stores. JLo rocked the lace frock a couple weeks ago on idol, so no surprise that one is already sold out online. Check out the rest of the collection here. Happy (Eco-friendly) shopping! Jennifer Lopez in H&M Conscious Collection
Jennifer Lopez brought it back to her Jenny from the block roots this week on American Idol and I luh it Papi! First sporting an H&M dress on Wednesday night and then rocking her own Kohl's line last night. Currently the romper is only available in black online (on sale!), but hopefully they're stocking up on other colors soon! In the meantime, if you have a penchant for pink, I found some other options below! Jennifer Lopez in Jennifer Lopez Solid Roll-Tab Crepe Romper available here in black.
Can you believe it my little tulips, the end of winter is only a day away?! It's been a long, harsh season and you deserve to reward yourself for making it through! So what better way to usher in spring than with some bling (see what I did there)? The quickest, easiest, and in this case cheapest way to update your wardrobe for a new season is with a statement necklace. Seriously, you cannot go wrong. But, so many can be over-priced for what they are, which is why I was excited to hear about TV Girl Bling! The company, started by a news reporter & anchor, is a super-affordable collection of statement making pieces, inspired by what you might see on some of your favorite TV hosts. Currently, I'm crushing on the Blue Victorian Gem Necklace Set. Its navy accents remind me of all things New England, but the rhinestones make it a little more whimsical for glitzy girls like me. For $17 (yes, you read that correctly) you can't go wrong.
And just like that, the red carpet is rolled up! So many great looks from this year's Oscars. No one looked truly horrible besides poor Liza Minnelli- but at least she's fun! Overall my favorites were in the neutral, pastel, or metallic categories, but I had to throw in one HOT red dress! My "best dressed" for the 2014 Academy Awards below! As expected, Lupita Nyong'o was best dressed and looked like Cinderella in Prada. Another princess look: Cate Blanchett in Armani. This is a love or hate look. I love it. Giving off that old Hollywood glam, Kate Hudson in Atelier Versace looked so perfect for the occasion. People can hate on Kim K all they want, but I think she is drop dead gorgeous in this Celia Kritharioti gown. Ellen may have commanded the stage, but Portia De Rossi ruled the red carpet in Naeem Khan. Looking just like a little Oscar herself, Kristin Chenoweth glittered in gold Cavalli. It's a lot of look, but I adore Jenna Dewan-Tatum in this Reem Acra. Talk about a hot mama!
I don't know about you, but between this month's weather, mercury in retrograde (TG- it's ending) and other general life crappiness, I'm in a skull kind of mood. Apparently, Aria feels the same way. Break-ups will do that to you! Did anyone else feel strangely satisfied watching her absolutely demolish Ezra's apartment this week on PLL, btw? I digress. Luckily for me (and you!) we can have her skull sweater, too! Because breaking up is hard enough to do without worrying about your outfit.
Winter blues got ya down? Join the club! Check out some cheap thrills to help brighten this endless season! All items layer-able now, and can stand alone when spring (eventually) comes.
