just can't get enough!!!!

omg. i am obsessed. i seriously have a problem. navy and white stripes are my absolute favorite. i am OB-SESSED. i cannot walk by a navy and white striped article of clothing and not buy it. it's a freaking compulsion. i mean, who doesn't love a little parisian chic in their life. i just love how complete chill, yet super sophisticated it is at the same time. j'adore how it brilliantly transforms from preppy la cool to rockstar brit badass. 

my own delightful collection is pictured below... and it will continue to grow because as long as they keep making brilliant nautical stripes, i will be buying. it's one of the few things my husband fully supports the purchase of... he just gets me...

so tell me, what trends are you obsessed with!?!? do you have a collection of similar styles!? or do you stop with one?

pretty, pretty princess.

so, i've been in a bit of style rut. lots of lounging around in sweats. unshaved legs. zit cream. all around icky. we are getting ready to move in a month or so, but it's been all that's preoccupying my brain space. i've been cleaning/decluttering and stressing. so, my blogging has suffered and for that, i apologize. but i thought today i would just post some ah-mazing, inspiring looks. no hot damn messes here. i am loving all of the bronze/gold/pewter fabulousness out and about over the past few months. these looks are all so rich and regal. fit for a friggin' princess. it's a trend that i plan to rock the hell out of this fall. i can't wait to shop! here are some of my favorite looks. 

ah, emmy rossum. did you know that she recently got a divorice? yeah, for reals. she was "secretly" married like a year or so ago. weird. any who. she's one of my dopplegangers, so i suppose i have to mention how beautiful she is... i do dig this look. the gunmetal bodice with the light lavender skirt is just genius. love the peep toes. love the gaggles of necklaces.  eyeshadow may be a bit much, but she looks pretty rock and roll princess. 

ohmylordy, i have had this picture saved forever. this is drew barrymore at the glaad awards. and i just can't get over how freaking beautiful she is. have you seen her on the cover of elle magazine this month? AH-mazing. and this look is just so sweet with the sparkle and the long boho hair. she just looks so fresh. love it. 

well, if it isn't the light of my life, diane kruger. how hot is this lanvin? answer. uh, super hot! everything about this embellished frock is perfection. i die. i mean, this is genius. love her. 

well, if i had legs like mrs.underwood, who was just married last week, i would probably prance around in mini-skirts all the freaking time. this martin katz is the perfect length and the bubble is just adorable. i love all of the folds and creases. very sculptural. love it. 

if it isn't the home wrecker herself... sienna miller has been a bit off my radar lately, but this chick is beyond fabulous. i love, love, love this matthew williamson dress. but what makes this work for me is the brilliant hair and beyond brilliant coral-y red lipstick. this chick has her fashion shit together... her love life on the other hand... well, let's just say i wonder if she met her boyfriends one-night-stand love child yet? too soon? hmm.

ok, so veronica mars...sarah marshall...kristen bell... doesn't usually do it for me on the red carpet. her look just always seems a bit off. this stella mccartney is genius! and omg, she didn't do anything to destroy it. i might have raised the hem a bit or given her a higher platform shoe, but this is pretty close to perfection. 

who doesn't love gwyneth paltrow? well, if you don't then you can just get the hell out of here. she's a brilliant actress, super geniune, a great mom, and she likes to cook/travel and tell you all about it. if you aren't signed up to get, goop, her weekly newsletter you are missing out. she's like a hip martha stewart. much less scary too, she would never yell at you while making cookies. paltrow is also smoking hot. i loooove this stella mccartney on her. my god, could her legs be any freaking longer!?!? this color is ah-mazing against her delightfully pale skin! the black accents work perfectly.

so, whatcha think!? when's the last time you felt like a pretty, pretty princess?? are you loving all these fabulous metallics? would you wear this trend? or do you prefer to wear something less... sparkly? can you ever forgive me for my lack of posts? tell me all about it.

met gala 2010: soooo awesome...

i would love to be invited to the met gala... and i would happily wear just about anything any designer would want to put me in. these ladies below just scream fabulous!!! i mean, i would rock any and all of these gowns. sparkle and nude was really the trend of the evening. and i love sparkling and being nude... huh? 

top pick #1. ohmylordy. like 5 years ago could you possibly image nicole richie looking this super hot!!! i mean, this marc jacobs is perfection!!! her hair, makeup, accessories, i die! there is nothing bad to say about this look... if you have something bad to say you shouldn't say anything at all... at least, that's what my mommy told me. 

top pick #2. um, i've have died and gone to heaven. this is freaking perfection. tiny little kate bosworth in this genius valentino. the beading and delicate colors. oooohhh my fabulous! the back is sheer perfection. and the hair and makeup are ah-mazing. i'm in love. have i mentioned this is perfect?

top pick #3. hermione granger never ceases to amaze me. emma watson is just beautiful and this burberry gown is just stunningly fabulous. i love it all, top to bottom. wow. 

top pick #4. how ah-mazing is this couple? diane kruger and joshua jackson are my favorite. pllleeeaaasee stay together forever... i might cry if they ever break up. she looks beautiful in this white calvin klein. out-of-control. the look is simple, but the fit is impeccable, structured to perfection, as only francisco costa can do! and pacey is looking super sharp. love his suit. hot couple alert.

top pick #5. this is tailoring done right. the fit of this calvin klein and the wild fabric make it a freaking hit. zoe saldana has been one of my favorites on the red carpet for a while now! she can wear insanely crazy gowns, think the givenchy, then something as simple as this... and she looks insanely stylish doing either. that's a true fashionista. 

uh, hello jenny from the block is back. what in the hell has jennifer lopez been doing over the past month!? because she looks absolutely ah-mazing!!! and this zuhair murad is just out of control. it's beautiful and complicated and interesting. her hair looks stunning and the make up is perfection. the best she has looked in years. love it. 

i wasn't sure if i loooved this or just liked it... but i loved it more than i disliked it... huh? does anyone remember my point? ah, basically this valentino is beautiful. i hate her necklace, but this gown is so beautiful that it trumps the tiny necklace. this color is beautiful. and the gown is tailored perfectly, she looks super skinny and super tall... the only two things you need. 

marion looking smoking hot in christian dior. i don't know why i like this so much. it just looks like she is dripping diamonds. like she bathed in diamonds... don't you want to bathe in diamonds!? i dig the hair... i just like this. sue me. 

yay, sjp looking like a boho chic fashionista in halston. the color of this gown is perfection. as always, she is styled perfectly and her spray tan seems to be under control. love the pleats. love. 

if it isn't kate hudson and her new boobies. yup, she totally got a boob job. but she looks great and she really didn't over do it. this stella mccartney is gorgeous! i love the shoes, the hair, the jewels. this is a fabulous look on her.

love her. love him. so stinking awesome. this lamb gown on gwen is just beautiful. i love the fit and the strange gauzy fabric mixed with the black. i love it. the bracelet is wonderful and as always the red nails and lips are just the perfect final touch. she's great. 

so, i love this thakoon for gap gown on kerry washington. this orange/red color on her skin tone is beautiful. i freaking adore the bodice, the shoulder draping, and that slit. this is beautiful. she's beautiful. love it.

this is a good look on mila kunis, she looks like a little vera wang rock princess. the detail on the dress makes me very happy. i love the wild bunched skirt. she is very good at balancing the giant gown on her tiny frame. plus, she is super hot. 

now, some people were dissing this, but i think elizabeth banks wearing gucci looks like a rockstar. her hair and makeup look super sexy and all of the textures are just fabulous. i think this is fun. am i crazy? 

omg, i should have been a missoni!! margherita missoni is stunning and this gown rocks my socks. i freaking love the apron-like front, that pattern! it's beautiful! i even dig her stupid ruby/diamond head thing. this is just quite a look, so i understand that not everyone will dig it, but it works for me. 

poor sienna miller, he's gonna cheat on her again, 'cause he's a douche. but this pucci gown is genius! holy wow, the gown is just stunning and even though it's dark, all of the textures make it insanely interesting and those shoes are bananas! i want! 

hotness everywhere!!!!

so along with a ton of summer movie openings and fancy shindigs, comes a ton of fabulous outfits. and i mean fabulous!!!! so i thought i would share some of my faves, i also got bo to give me his opinions, trust me you will want to read them. he's a funny guy. let me know what you think? do you have any faves? any you want me to find on a normal persons budget? your wish is my command. read on! be girly!

this was at the costume institute! i love this outfit! Rodarte is one of my faves the way these girls use fabric is out of this world. also, i love the shoes that kirsten dunst paired them with! grey is so chic! see...isn't this fun!?! BO'S OPINION: she looks like a half naked mummy

oh ashley greene, how i love thee! this girl could not be any cuter, well maybe with the help of a D&G floral mini dress! i even love the shoes. all of these girls are wearing the best shoes! BO'S OPINION: it's okay, she looks like she is wearing lingerie...i like it.

omg i love this. before you start dogging me, let me say, i agree this is not traditional beauty, but i think that k.stewart gets it right every time. she dresses for herself and no one else. plus, when your hair is cut in a joan jett mullet shag, you don't really have options. plus i love this picture. this dangerously spiky dress is rock & republic and what about those shoes? i love them, even though i totally dig her converse thing this is a nice change. BO'S OPINION: she looks like a musician, it's cool.

okay, so you know this has to be a great dress if i am willing to compromise all that i believe and place a photo of her on my blog, but even i can't deny this naeehm kahn gown is absolutely stunning. her hair and makeup are just spot on! well played heigl, well played. BO'S OPINION: it's nice, looks like a real red carpet outfit...i like the color.

saw gi joe. it was awesome. sienna was great, even if she was playing second fiddle to her other costars...and by other costars i mean her massive cleavage. she was off promoting when she wore this amazing outfit! do you see the forest green peep toes!?!? i'm salivating. she is the epitome of breezy. BO'S OPINION: it's casual, i like it.

so when i first saw troy...i remember thinking "really? that's helen...not so sure" well, i can say with full certainty that diane kruger is the most beautiful women on the planet! i love her!!! she is such a fashionista and she never hits a wrong note. i love this jason wu frock! she does the crazy and most interesting things, but never looks overdone, amazing!!! BO'S OPINION: that...looks...retarded. it looks like a bird pooped on her shoulders.

so camilla belle is new to being uber famous, but i knew her way back when...when she starred in the rocking remake of when a stranger calls. trust me it's awesome in all it's badness. but even if you aren't into bad horror films you have to admit this former face of vera wang is a stunner. way to bring back the full eyebrow. i love this max azria gown and the color is just amazing on her skin! add a rocking pair of grey patent pumps and forget about it! i might have ditched the bag, but this is still a great outfit. BO'S OPINION: it's good. she's hot. it's pretty, but she looks cracked out.

my angie is back!!!! and in leather!!!! how freaking hot is this women? i think that men who don't find her attractive are just pansies who are afraid of how absolutely hot she is...besides she would probably crush them. i like a powerful chick! this killer outfit is brought to us thanks to michael kors. surprised? i was. this is so her! edgy, yet somehow crazy elegant. i love the strappy sandals and the giant ruby cocktail ring! finally angie! BO'S OPINION: it looks like mr. and mrs. smith. it's hot.
