Look of The Day

Ashley Tisdale usually never disappoints fashion wise!  I loved her look at the VMAS after party hosted by Candies!  

I love this mini floral dress by Tibi, and those heels are fabulous too!  Although, I think she looks great with blonde hair, I really think I loved her brunette hair color more!  

What do you think?  Better as blonde or brunette?  

And what do you think about this lovely dress?

Bold Summer Trend: BRIGHT COLORS

Want to add that extra pop to your look this summer?  It's easy and definitely something celebs have already begun!  Add a bright color to your outfit and really standout!  Whether it's a bold colored pair of paints, or a bright colored nail polish, these looks will surely make you eye catching! 

The Bold Trousers!

Jessica Alba, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Katharine McPhee are all looking red hot! 

Doesn't Jessica look fabulous with her baby bump??

Elisabetta Canalis is rocking those hot pink pants!  

I think I would pair those pants with a white tee though.  

What would you pair them with? 

Blake Lively was spotted wearing these bright blue trousers while filming gossip girl earlier this year.  

I'm not sure if those cropped pants would be flattering on me, but Blake looks lovely in them!

BRIGHT TOPS!

Orange Blazers

Rachel Bilson, Camilla Belle, and Olivia Palermo.  These girls always look good and hardly ever disappoint!  I think Olivia's look is more suited for fall though, with those pants.  Camilla is pulling off the color blocking trend perfectly!  Who knew those colors would look so good together! She's got brights from head to toe!  And last, but certainly not least, Rachel Bilson looks so petite and super pretty in that summer dress paired with that stylish blazer! 

Minka pairs a purple tank with a simple white maxi skirt.  It's good to not over do it if you're choosing to wear a bright color.  Not everyone can pull off the color blocking trend, so it's a safe bet to pair a bright hue  with a more subdued color on bottom or top. 

BOLD ACCESSORIES 

Not wanting to overdue it?  A little skittish of the neon colors?   

Try incorporating them in smaller doses with accessories that pop!

Nails

AnnaLynn McCord's neon yellow nail polish doesn't look outrageous at all.  

It stands out in a good way! 

Purses

Even though Ashley Tisdale's whole outfit is fabulous, 

it's her yellow purse that grabs your attention! 

ALL OVER BRIGHT

Maybe you're not afraid of really going for it!  Being the boldest girl out there!  If so, then you should give the color blocking trend a try.  It really surprises me what colors actually look good together, some I would never have thought of! 

Rihanna's got the color blocking trend down.  

With a purple top, orange pants, and daring red hair, you can tell she's not afraid of mixing colors! 

Although, I'm not sure many people can pull off this extreme of a look, do you??

Leona Lewis isn't scared of color either!  

In fact, she has been wearing the color-blocking trend repeatedly!

 What do you girls think?  Are you incorporating bright, bold colors into your wardrobe this summer?  Have you started out small with only accessories or are you going big and trying out the color-blocking trend?  Or maybe you're somewhere in between?

Hellcats has been canceled.........

Seriously CW can't you give it at least a 2nd season?  Give it a fair chance.... It was nominated for a People's Choice award this year, and is way popular amongst a lot of people I know

Also, you keep other shows going that are well past their prime...

Ashley Tisdale and Aly Michalka are fabulous together!  Hopefully this is not the end for this amazing duo!

Have you ever loved a show and then it was canceled??  

What show did you want to see more of??

Scarves: Find One Best Suited For You

Hello girls!  How's your Wednesday going??  I hope all is well!  Sadly, Indiana keeps piling on the snow, and I know we aren't the only state faced with chilly days and bitter cold nights.  Ready for spring yet?  I know I sure am!  

Hopefully today's post will help get you through the cold, or at least help you look stylish, while doing so!  A key accessory one should have this time of year is a scarf.  Many of you might already have one or two in your closet, maybe even a dozen, (with some out there being so reasonably priced).  It doesn't hurt to add a few more to your collection.  With going out in this weather, most of us have to wear a winter coat, and a lot of the time this limits us showing off our own personal style.  A scarf is an easy and fabulous way of adding a special touch to that winter coat of yours.  Plus it helps in keeping you warm!

I've put scarves into three categories for you.  I think breaking them down into categories is a helpful way to show you different types/styles and how you can wear them.  

Group #1

THE WARM COMFYS

Black Patent Mac Strip

Any of the scarves from this group would be a perfect choice for those of us who are having to endure this bitter winter!  Solid colors can be paired with almost any coat or sweater.  Fun printed ones are out there as well and can add that extra pop to any outfit.  Ashley Tisdale wears both the patterned and solid colored ones well, don't you think?  I'm loving the Scandinavain Pattern Knit Scarf, which is the gray one with the white  hearts.  So cute! And the Camel Knot Tassel Knit scarf from Topshop is a great shade! What's your favorite?

Group #2
THE WRAP AROUNDS

Black Patent Mac Strip

These types of scarves have really become properly in the past year or so.  I have a echo leopard print one, which I adore!  It looks pretty similar to the leopard print one featured in this set.  I love how you can wrap it around as little or as much as you like.  Leaving it longer or wrapping it around completely!  Mine definitely keeps my neck warm!  Although I'm not a big fan of Lindsay Lohan, I think both her and Kim Kardashian look great in their scarves!  My favorite from the bunch is probably the Snowflake Ski Snood, but I also like the Circle scarf of Life in White.  Which ones are you eyeing?

Group #3

Nicole Richie Style and Fashion - Alexander McQueen Skull Scarf on...
Black Patent Mac Strip

This group is better suited for those of you who live in a warmer area.   Although they look good on everybody, these are made of lighter material so they aren't going to help too much in keeping you warmer.  They will certainly keep you stylish though! For those of us who are experiencing a bad winter, you can still buy these, just maybe wait to wear them until spring.  

Nicole Richie is one of the best at sporting chic scarves.  She's got the look down!   I am drawn to the animal print ones and the Missoni Crochet Knit zigzag scarf is amazing as well! Could you imagine spending $800 on a scarf though??  I know I couldn't!! Which one would you buy, if price wasn't an issue?

Well, girls, I hope this scarf post was helpful and maybe you spotted one or two you have to go out and buy!  I'm still on that shopping ban, trying hard to make use of what I already own, and stop spending money on things I don't necessarily need, but mainly just really want!  It's tough!


Have a wonderful day!!

Sweater Weather

Hello Girls!  I hope everyone has been having a fabulous week so far!  I have pictures to share with you from the vacation but I'm going to save that for another day.  Today I would like to get back to fashion!  This is indeed a fashion blog! Sometimes I get a little distracted! :)

Now, I don't know about you, but here in Indiana, the weather is bitter cold!  All I can think about is being bundled up in a warm sweater!  I'd like it even more if I never had to go outside this winter, and could just stay in curled up in a bulky sweater, with a good book, and a hot drink, like hot chocolate, apple cider, coffee, tea, pretty much anything hot at this point will do!  Doesn't that just sound lovely??  Sadly, work and life in general doesn't allow that, but a girl can dream anyway!

And although, I've gone on a shopping ban in the new year, I can still look at all the amazing comfy sweater options out there, and maybe help you girls find something you like!  So here it goes.  I've broken sweaters, for this time of year, into 3 categories

The first one being:

COMFY CARDIGANS:

Oh I would love to be wrapped up in any of these right now!  My favorites are the center three, the light cream colored Natural Aran cardigan, the MyShape- Karen Kane-Sequined-Dolman-Sleeve Cardigan, and the Strickjacke, which is the one with the bow!  Aren't those amazing??!

Taylor Swift has been seen sporting cute sweaters with fun bold prints on them!  I love the ones with the bows, as well as the Karl Lagerfield sweaters!  How fun!  Also the leopard print ones look so cute and comfy!  They would look great paired with leggings or tights, as well as skinny jeans!

The Last category, #3:

Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent Reversible Navajo Blanket Sweater in many...Twelfth St by Cynthia Vincent Blanket Sweater - rona - stylists' picks

 

I just love Blake Lively's twelfth Street By Cynthia Vincent Blanket Sweater!  I wouldn't mind wearing a "blanket" out in the cold, if it looked as stylish as that!  These, almost like tribal printed, knitted sweaters are everywhere this season, so be sure to find one that suits your style! 

So girls, will you be shopping for any sweaters that fall into these categories?  Anyone in particular catch your attention??  What have you been doing to get by during this dreadful weather??

Anyway, have a wonderful afternoon!!!

Fashionista: Ashley Tisdale (Photo Heavy)

Ok, I will admit I've seen all the High School Musical movies.  Laugh now, if you must. :)  Anyway,  although I think Ashley Tisdale did a great job playing Sharpay, I never really thought of her as having a good fashion sense.  However, now every time I see what she's wearing while she's shopping, or going to events, or even starring on Hellcats (one of my new fav shows), I can't help but be really impressed with how amazing she looks!  Take a look for yourself:

Out and About, Shopping and etc. :

I just love this next look.  I can't get over how wacky but super cute this is!

Amazing heels in the picture on the right below!  Great Pop of yellow too!

Perfect Fall Looks below: 

That hat looks very chic, and love the bags! 

Don't you just love the brown hair so much better than the blonde?  Not that she looked bad as the blonde, she just looks so much better as a brunette!!  Gorgeous shade!!

 Also, I hope this doesn't sound weird or something but I think she has amazing legs!  lol 

Not trying to sound strange, I just wish my legs looked lean like hers!  I have big calves!  (One of my insecurities! )

I love this gold sparkly dress!  She looks fabulous!



What do you girls think??  Loving her style at all?  Any favorite looks from the bunch?  How about her life as a brunette, or do you prefer the blonde?  As always, let me know what you girls think!  I hope your weekend has been going great, and that it ends well!

What's your reaction?

Miley Cyrus and Ashley Tisdale, both center stage ready. Who do you think looks better? I think Miley pulled her look off, and looks great. Her hair looks great, and I'm loving the boots, although I'm sure they can get quite warm after a while!

I like Ashley's brown hair, but I'm not liking this outfit! Those shorts are terrible looking! Too short and with the white part sticking out like that, it looks unattractive! Normally I don't have a problem with what she wears! But no way am I liking this! What do you think?

What about Taylor Momsen? Are you liking this look?? Her makeup and hair doesn't look too intense, like it normally does, which is nice.

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry

Lady Gaga, what were you thinking?? Her chest is really up and out there! lol I'm not liking this look, it's just too much! which I know she normally does have very unusual outfits anyway, but this one is one of the worst. I do like the shade of gold though!

Katy Perry looks like she's going to go for a swim but she's on stage. It's cute if it were actually worn to go swimming! Any thoughts??

Emma Watson

Pretty dress, but what do you think about an umbrella being used like an accessory here??

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!
