Setting the Mood: Garnet Girl

By |January 13th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Girl Crush: You Can Ring My Belle

By |February 2nd, 2011|Celebrity Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

A girlfriend of mine BBM’ed me the other day in a total frenzy.  She wanted to tell me about her new girl crush and ask me if having feelings of sheer adoration for a fellow female was normal.  I reassured her that a good ol’ fashion girl crush is NBD (no big deal).  There’s nothing wrong with a little female appreciation.  Hell, we could probably use more of that kind of girl power!

Speaking of girl crushes, WhyDid has one of its own.  I had seen Camilla Belle in photos here and there and had heard her name, but it wasn’t until I saw her wearing that sexy silver Armani dress to a Golden Globes after party that she really caught my attention.  Yowza! Who is that beautiful brunette?  Her classically beautiful features and shiny dark locks are only complemented by her flawless skin and killer stems.  Sigh, I want to grow up and look like her. Though I’m still not clear as to what exactly she is famous for  other than stealing a Jonas brother away from T. Swift (I think she was in A Little Princess – in which case, I’ve definitely seen it), I still think she is a certifiable stunner.

While, the chances of me waking up tomorrow and looking like Camilla are slim to none (I’m banking on none), I’ve compiled a collection of goodies that will have me sharing some of Ms. Belle’s sexy style.  Pops of color, shiny metallics, grey pumps, smokey eyes with a glossy lip, and that gorgeous glowing skin are all pieces to the Camilla pie.  Don’t mind if I do…

Top (L to R): Yumi Kim Sheila Dress, $193, Ungaro Fever Platform Pumps, $235, Beauty in a Box Smoky Eyes Palette, $36, Tarte Vitamin Infused Lip Gloss, $21

Bottom (L to R): L.A.M.B. Chloe Heels, $325, Victoria’s Secret Ruched Cowlneck Dresss, $58, Pleasure Doing Business Metallic Sweetheart Dress, $330, Nars Bronzing Powder, $33,  Keratin Complex Shine, $16

Oh… I’ve just been informed she’s going to be in some movie called From Prada to Nada… well, she’s still pretty.

Beauty Buzz: Hairs to You!

By |April 1st, 2009|Beauty Buzz, Celebrity Style|

It seems that you guys really love big hair- almost as much as I do.  The day that I posted about “Bump Its” was the busiest day we’ve ever seen over here at WDYWT.  So, to thank you, here’s more big  hair:

Remember when Drew Barrymore wore her hair like this to the Golden Globes? And remember how she then wore it the same way in several consecutive interviews promoting her new movie, Grey Gardens?  I’m still trying to figure this look out.  What do you think prompted her to decided that this was a good style for her?  I love big hair as much as the next gal – but really?

Here Drew is again… with more bad hair.  Do you think she has some Bump Its under there?  I just hope that she is on her way to the salon and saying, “Peace!” to her bad hair days.
