The List Volume L

By |August 12th, 2011|The List|

Remember the monthly gift that doesn’t suck?  Well this week’s list is more like the one that does suck.  Sure there are plenty of perks to being a girl, but that certainly is not one of them.

  1. People who use ten dollar words but probably have no idea what they mean.
  2. Kris Humphries. Is he for real?
  3. Guys who wear winter hats at the beach.  I’m confused.  You must be too.
  4. Our government.  Can we just press “refresh” and start over?  Cause I’m fairly certain no one knows what they’re doing.
  5. Un-manicured palm trees.  And on a side note- I know palm trees are “symbolic” of California, but there’s only one type that’s indigenous.  The rest are all “decorative.” 
  6. People who think they “discovered” someone. Just stop it. You did not discover Bruno Mars.  Next thing you know you’ll be telling me you discovered Abraham Lincoln too.
  7. Shin splints.
  8. Dianna Agron’s new ‘do.  I keep waiting to hear, “for her upcoming role in…” 
  9. Planking.  Are we done with this yet?
  10. The person who stole our hose.  First of all, who steals a hose?  Secondly, I hope you are at least putting it to good use- like a slip n’ slide.

Why Did You Wear That: You’ve Got Sole

By |March 1st, 2011|Why Did You Wear That?|

One of the most talked about moments from this past weekend’s Academy Awards show was not a musical number, not a gorgeous gown, not a misplaced expletive… it was Anne Hathaway’s Swarovski crystal encrusted Brian Atwood pumps worn with her Lanvin tuxedo.  Twitter exploded with “who made Anne’s shoes?” and “I’ve got to get my hands on those pumps.”  Certainly a victory for both Mr. Atwood, himself, as well as Anne’s stylist, Ms. Rachel Zoe.

For quite a while, the go to glamour girl pump was Christian Louboutin, but it looks like there’s a new “it” shoe in town.  Basically, if you’ve heard of the actress, she’s worn the shoe.  Everyone from Blake Lively to Cameron Diaz to Dianne Kruger has been spotted strutting her stuff in these sexy stilettos.

So has Hollywood traded in the flash of a red sole for the styling and simplicity of just a great shoe?

Sole long!

Girl Crush: Full of Glee

By |February 24th, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

I can not lie, I don’t watch Glee.  However, one young lady keeps showing up on red carpets and catching my attention: Dianna Agron.  Apparently she plays Quinn, a perky and somewhat promiscuous cheerleader and glee club member (again, I don’t follow the show).  With her all American good looks, Agron fits the part of cheerleading queen bee perfectly.  While she pulls off the fresh faced bouncing ponytail look with ease, what really impresses me is the way she transforms herself from pink cheeks and shiny pout to smoky eye and sexy updo.

Agron has managed to merge pretty with edgy.  She pairs classic Chanel couture with smudgy cat eyes and rocker hair.  While she isn’t going to go down in history as a style icon, she is the absolute perfect mix of sugar and spice.

Want to put a little pep in your step?  Try a few of these Agron inspired pieces.  Add her favorite Chanel lipstick and polish to take even your sweetest ensemble to the next level and always be sure to have that good girl glow with Benetint’s Posietint.

Top (L to R): Rebecca Minkoff Rumi Dress, $425, Chanel le vernis Nail Color, $25, Christian Louboutin Rolando Patent Leather Platform Pumps, $695,  Volcom Time Lines Striped Tank Dress, $38, Bottom (L to R): Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Color, $35, American Apparel Plaid Chiffon Double Layered Shirred Waist Skirt, $42, Nanette Lepore Latin Lover Dress, $348, Benefit Posietint, $28

Cheerio!

Monday Mashup: Red Carpet Repeat

By |January 17th, 2011|Monday Mashup|

So, before I announce who I found fantastic and who made me cry “foul!”, I decided to recap the rest of the red carpet from the Golden Globes.  Um… I can’t help but notice… there were a lot of duplications in the wardrobe department.  Whoops! Perhaps the stylists in Hollywood need to communicate more.  Having a twin on the red carpet might be every starlet’s worst nightmare, but seeing double gives us much more to compare come Monday.  While I have my own opinions on who rocked the look best, I’m going to go ahead and let you- my usually fashionably elite- readers decide. Now, behold the beauties that were the Golden Globes:

A Case of the Ex:

Sandra Bullock in Jenny Packham vs. Scarlett Johansson in Elie Saab

Moody Nudes:

Carrie Underwood in Badgley Mischka vs. Dianna Agron in J. Mendel

Pretty in Pink:

Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta vs. Megan Fox in Armani Prive

Is White Right?

Jennifer Love Hewitt in Romona Keveza vs. Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad

Mean Green:

Angelina Jolie in Versace vs. Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

Well Red:

January Jones in Versace vs. Sofia Vegara in Vera Wang

It’s a Sherbert:

Emma Stone in Calvin Klein Collection vs. Claire Danes also in Calvin Klein Collection

Blue for You:

Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier vs. Jenna Ushkowitz in Rebecca Taylor vs. Amy Adams in Marchesa
