Blake Lively

Loving Blake Lively's hair in this shot of her out shopping this last week!  You don't normally get to see her hair curls like this, it really looks gorgeous doesn't it?

What do you think?

Plus, her shoes, her whole outfit, actually, doesn't she just look fabulous??  Would you go shopping in heels like that though?

I don't think I could cut it,

especially while being pregnant! :)

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?

Mid Week and Blake Lively

So that's probably what I've really been doing today.  This is a scheduled post, since I had my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday.  I didn't plan on being online this week. 

I'm sure if you were to peep on me at home, I may look as silly as this:

Or maybe more like this:

Lusting after solid hearty food! 

Anyway, I'm sure your tired of hearing about my wisdom teeth woes.....

So let's take a break from that and look at some shots of Blake Lively from the latest Glamour magazine!!

Blake Lively is so gorgeous isn't she!

 I think this one below in yellow is my favorite!  

I love the vintage feel and the volume in her hair!

It's really not fair how stunning she always looks is it??  I wish my hair was long again, and even looked remotely as pretty as hers always does!  I don't watch Gossip Girl but I know so many of you do, what do you think of Blake Lively's photo shoot for Glamour?  Are you a Blake fan?  Do you like her character on the show?  Serena?

Anyway, I better go, but I hope you all are having a lovely week!!

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

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!!!

Wishing for My Camera to be fixed!!!

I wanted to post Blake Lively's outfit from the premiere of Where the Wild Things Are on October 13th. This beautiful dress is Marchesa! Anyway, I think she looks stunning!

So not having my camera working is totally a bummer. I tried to use the camera that's on my laptop, and these are the pitiful pictures I came up with......

I look sad in this last picture because:

I can't even get a full outfit post because I have to be close enough to the computer to press the button to snap the picture, and of course the quality is bad......

Anyway, my hair was crimped since I had it in braids the night before.

I'm terribly sorry for these not so hot pictures, but they will have to do for now, I'm going to take my camera into the local camera store and see how much it will cost to repair, hopefully cheaper than buying a new one!

Onto something else, lately I've been reading my copy of the Teen Vogue Handbook, and it is such a fascinating read! There is a lot of useful information is this book, and I am so happy I ordered it off of Amazon. If you don't have it yet, I suggest you get it soon, especially if you are interested in a career in the fashion industry!

Oh, I want to let everybody know that I recently updated my Hottest Blog list so check out the link on the side for the most amazing blogs out there! I also want to say how happy I am to have some new followers this week! That always brings a smile to my face! Thank you so much for reading my blog! I hope to keep all of you happy with new and exciting news about fashion and all that it involves!

Who wore it better?

Faceoff!!!

Who wore it better??

Lily Collins and Kristin Stewert both wearing a Herve Leger dress by Max Azria

Although they are wearing different dresses who do you think pulled of the white look at this transformers premier? I'm going with Megan Fox I like the off the shoulder look! Have you noticed how Taylor Momsem always wears so much dark eye makeup??

This are just two looks I'm loving. Blake Lively and Whitney Port both look stunning! Blake Lively is in a beautiful white Robert Cavalli dress! I wish I owned this dress! Whitney is pictured here at the cfda awards in Luca Luca. Both gorgeous! I wish I had reasons to actually get dressed up like that!
