Screen Actors Guild 2015 Red Carpet Recap

So, the SAG Awards happened tonight, and I wanted to post a fashion review, but like everyone’s taught growing up, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That and I have no idea who half the people were who walked the carpet. So, on to the looks I did like.

slide_397634_4898268_compressed Julie Bowen of “Modern Family” looks gorgeous. I love a tasteful, tulle gown. And this looks great.

slide_397634_4898008_compressed And Bowen’s costar Sarah Hyland in Vera Wang. Ok, so, I like this dress, however I’m not digging the top. It’s just a little low-cut for her particular build.

la-et-sag-awards-2015-red-carpet-pictures-014 I just had to put the oh-so-dapper and adorable Eddie Redmayne on here, just because.

slide_397634_4898250_compressed Julianne Moore in Givenchy looks a bit like a shiny mermaid here. But, it’s a gorgeous dress. I just wish her hair was up in a bun. Would’ve made the whole thing look more sophisticated.

slide_397634_4898314_compressed Felicity Jones in Balenciaga. This is the epitome of high fashion/haute couture and I think she looks positively regal. However, the color looks slightly… nude. Which is never a good look anywhere your photo will be taken.

slide_397634_4898318_compressed Emma Stone is the best BEAUTY look of the night, because, let’s face it, her “dress” is a hot mess. (It’s like a tailored men’s blazer that she added a sheer layer underneath to make it look like a dress.) But, her hair and makeup looks flawless; impeccable.

slide_397634_4898166_compressed Viola Davis. Gorge. She is very good a finding fabrics/colors that accentuate her skin, making her look radiant.

slide_397634_4898288_compressed Julia Roberts and I share our camp in common, so, obviously she’s awesome. And her Givenchy pantsuit looks impeccably tailored.

slide_397634_4898306_compressed And finally Sarah Paulson, you know, I’d say how great this dress was except I’ve already said that when Taylor Swift has rocked it… on a red carpet. I don’t do repeat reviews, sorry Sarah.

Any hits and misses that you noticed?

Golden Globes Red Carpet Fashion Breakdown

It’s the Globes. The show’s about to start, so it’s time for my red carpet breakdown. SO many hits! (Sorry, it’s a bit long: there was so many great dresses!)

Here we go:

B7Gytk6IEAAO5Fj Gina Rodriguez of “Jane the Virgin” is a Globe virgin, but stuns nonetheless.

54b3074a35276.image Quvenzhane Wallis aka the new “Annie.” Okay, so I love the TOP of it and the BOTTOM of the dress. I just don’t love them both together.

Screen Shot 2015-01-11 at 6.50.42 PM Miss Golden Globe Greer Grammer (Kelsey’s daughter). Love! The “Awkward” star looks so beautiful.

B7G4NEkIEAEexmU No red carpet breakdown can be complete without “Girls” and “Peter Pan Live” star Allison Williams. Gorge. Love. End of story.

54b30bcacec73.image 195bc3d4dcdcb2d1657f715c63e73e6f17278f18EDDIE REDMAYNE! I’ve kind of been obsessed with him ever since I saw him in Les Mis and promoting it. He looks so dapper. And look how happy the newlywed is to have his bride on his arm. 🙂

54b30ca8bba58.image Lorde. Ehh. Not the biggest fan. Is it her? Yes. Is it my taste? No.

54b3133aefe88.image Kate Beckinsale. Gorge. Tailored to perfection.

54b3133b40227.image ANNA KENDRICK LOOKS PERFECT. OMG, she looks great. LOVE LOVE LOVE. And I can’t wait to see her in “The Last Five Years” when it comes out in February.

54b30ca9099ba.image Julia Goldani Telles. Oh wow, I totally didn’t know she’d be here! She was in “Bunheads.” And I loved “Bunheads.” (Cancelled before it’s time… <sad face>) But, her dress looks perfect.

 

54b31775703c3.image B7HAlGFCAAAFKmmGEORGE & AMAL!! So glam.

 

54b317003707a.image Another celeb couple looks perfect. And he is her official train-holder!

 

Kate Hudson Kate Hudson. Gorge. What else to say?

Reese Witherspoon Reese Witherspoon: so glam. Love it.

72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals And Emma Stone is rocking a pantsuit. Hahaha Ryan Seacrest asked her “Aren’t you supposed to be on Broadway?” She said, “Probably.”

Great looks!

 

I’m so excited!

Hi guys!

So, I have an exciting announcement to make! As of this week, I will be going to to Teen Vogue’s annual “Fashion University” program in March!

tvfu-logoIt’s described as “the only educational program where the business of fashion is taught by its stars.” As well as, “TEEN VOGUE brings designers, models, entrepreneurs, and insiders together with the future leaders of the fashion and beauty industries.”

I’m so excited to be able to learn more about journalism in the fashion industry! And it’ll be such an AH-MAZING networking opportunity before I move up to NYC for the summer!

I can’t wait to see what lays ahead when I head up to New York in a couple months! Look out for some blog posts on my experiences!

xx.

 

It’s all about the People… On the Red Carpet.

Tonight was the People’s Choice Awards… and with that comes my red carpet fashion critique. Here we go.

1. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.17.02 PM Here we have the Once happy couple: Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas (#Snowing!) I love how their on-screen chemistry transcended to real life. But, back to fashion, their outfits are perfectly tailored and they are dressed to the nines.

2. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.18.12 PM E! reporter Giuliana Rancic looks gorgeous in a tulle mint gown. #PinterestWorthy.

3. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.17.11 PM Disney starlet Bella Thorne… actually looks good. But, maybe a little too mature? The pantsuit is well-tailored. But, she’s 16 not 30. And it looks she’s had a little something done to her face. But, her stylist deserves so much praise for that tailoring job: love.

4. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.19.22 PM Country superstar Hunter Hayes looks dapper in a black-on-black suit. And my fingers are crossed for him at the Grammys next month!

5. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.17.21 PM “Modern Family” star Sarah Hyland: she looks gorgeous and looks very happy. However, I’m not a fan of that overlay. Get rid of that, and it’s a 10.

6. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.17.41 PM Kelly McCreary aka Dr. Maggie Pierce on “Greys Anatomy” looks fun and cute. The new cardio doctor at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and Meredith’s latest sister’s dress is making me envious! Love love love it. It’s fun and edgy, but so chic at the same time.

7. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.17.49 PM Melissa McCarthy: it slims her down and she looks so glamorous. And that’s what I think she rocks the best.

8. Screen Shot 2015-01-07 at 9.18.05 PM And finally, we have Bellamy Young who plays Mellie on another Shonda hit, “Scandal.” Her dress is edgy and she rocks it, but, it looks a little matronly with her hair. She’s gorgeous and knows how to dress, but this is aging her prematurely.

Alright, those are my favorite looks from the PCA’s. How about you?

Guess who’s coming to the States? And brought her fashionable closet with her?

Hey y’all so I’m currently waiting for my plane to take off (woo! winter break!!), so I decided to blog.

You may have heard by now that Wills and Kate are now stateside, in NEW YORK aka my home for this upcoming summer.

I decided to rank her best looks of the trip:

1. prince-william-600x800 She looks ah-mazing: I love love love her coat! Gorge.

2. kate-middleton-435 Another perfectly tailored coat; and her hair looks amazing! I want her hair!!

3. beyonce-willkat-800 Can we just mention how, yes her and her hubby met Beyonce and Jay-Z at the Nets game, but her outfit is so chic and on point (as it Mrs. Carter’s too).

4. kate-middleton-600x800 Gorgeous coat! And look at the baby brother or sister for George making a cameo!

4.kate-middleton-600x8002  And then there’s this gorgeous black lace dress. Can she do any outfit wrong?

It seems like Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge and mother to the future king of England,  can do no wrong in terms of fashion. Best dressed for a lifetime, I mean I guess when you have royal tailors that’s your life…

Let’s chat.

So, I haven’t written in awhile because of finals. But, I’m back no, don’t fret! Today, I thought I’d answer some random vlog-type questions on here.

  1. What is something you regret? Middle school, I think those years were for rough for everyone. Especially the fashion trends.
  2. What do you think of Toddlers & Tiaras? I love reality shows so I might not be the best person to answer.
  3. Have you ever met anyone famous? YES. Emma Roberts and I shot bows and arrows together while discussing books, Ed Sheeran rubbed my shoulder once, Sara Bareilles, many Gold Medal Olympians in ice skating and… that’s all I can think of right now, but I’m sure there’s more.
  4. If someone played a prank on you in the shower, and posted a video of it on the Internet without your permission, how would you feel? I’d not be happy. So, don’t even think about it.
  5. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4. Uhh, it’s a magazine: it’s an ad for Dillards.
  6. What is the last film you saw? Mockingjay. Wasn’t impressed.
  7. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Everywhere! I’d pull a Shailene Woodley and travel nonstop!
  8. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? Uhhh… shoes? clothes I pinned on Pinterest?
  9. Do you like to dance? YES. Solo dance parties are sometimes all you need.
  10. Are you listening to music right now? Yes. Pandora. No one needs to know what stations I listen to.
  11. What do you do most when you are bored? Blog, read, Netflix, dance it out.
  12. Are you a morning person or a night owl? MORNING. Like, I start yawning at 11 if I’m not headed for bed, truthfully.

Well, that should be enough for now. Back to studying!

The American Music Awards happened. It’s time for my Red Carpet Breakdown.

Must-see looks of the night:

1. Screen Shot 2014-11-23 at 8.36.27 PM Miss Kendall Jenner, fashion’s latest  haute couture It Girl of course is in attendance, and her dress… looks messy, sloppy. Not well put together. I mean, she’s a tall, beautiful girl, stop going for the obvious sexpot look your family is known for, be the high fashion model “Kendall,” you wanted to be called.

2.  Screen Shot 2014-11-23 at 8.36.52 PM Selena Gomez, who will perform (for the first time ever) her latest song about the Biebs. This ages her soooo much. It’s too dark, too long. She’s young, having fun: you don’t need to age yourself this much! And that strict bun does not help that cause.

3. Screen Shot 2014-11-23 at 8.37.13 PM PLL star Lucy Hale: not crazy about the dress, a little ill-fitting. But, I LOVE LOVE LOVE her hair! The length with the ombre and the styling– perfect!

4. Screen Shot 2014-11-23 at 8.52.58 PM I’m loving “Jealous” right now, and here he is, Nick Jonas in the flesh. He looks very dapper, but I’m afraid the silk suit is a little too Academy Awards than AMAs. But, hey, no complaints, obvi, just like any other female fan. (lol.)

5. Screen Shot 2014-11-23 at 8.37.25 PM “All About that Bass” singer Meghan Trainor. Love this look, from head to toe. She’s been vocal about not being a size two, and I see a gorge ensemble that I’d want to steal. Perfectly tailored, the bag is jus the perfect amount of “pop.” She looks great. And I’m loving her song, “Dear Future Husband” right now, it’s great.

And of course…

6. Screen Shot 2014-11-23 at 8.36.42 PM ONE DIRECTION… sports black-on-black. They look good, well-done, boys. However, Niall looks like the odd man out: the only one dressed very casual when his bandmates are dressed to the nines (Liam! Louis! Zayn!). He looks like he took clothes off the rack from 5SOS’ wardrobe, tbh. And Zayn’s hair: it’s DANNY ZUKO.

What’s in my makeup bag?

Hey loyal readers! What’s in my makeup bag? Here’s my secrets to beauty!

  1.  Leopard print bedazzled compact IMG_2940

That’s my makeup routine. What’s yours?

Winter Fashion Looks

It’s getting colder, so it’s time to break out the sweaters, tights and boots and stay fashion-savvy while staying warm. So, it’s time for my winter fashions post! (Images found by searching Pinterest, of course.)

So, lately, I’ve gotten more into wearing tights, boots, a sweater and a skirt in winter. My new thing with fashion now. I have Lilly ones, J.Crew ones and ones with French phrases. Ce sont mignons. 

What to know:

1. Sweaters are a must (think whites, blacks and other neutral colors)

2. Have a designated winter coat to wear when it gets cold! (It can still be cute as long as it’s functional!)

3. Tights are an easy way to convert your spring/summer wardrobe to fit the winter weather. Skirts and dresses look adorable with tights (try patterned ones!), your coat and boots! It’s my staple!

What do you think? How would you bundle up in the winter months without sacrificing your style?

Reviewing 1989. (The album, not the year)

 

I know it’s a little late, but I’ll be reviewing T.Swift’s new pop-online album. First off, I wanted to say how I was initially concerned that I wouldn’t like the album, but I really do like it. It’s well-written and very catchy. A+ Miss Swift. Can I just say how yesterday at chapter, our president asked who had this album. I proudly raised my hand: it’s that good.

Tracklist for 1989:

Welcome to New York. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!! And not to mention, it came out the day I found out I was accepted to go to NYC this summer. I call that fate. It’s so catchy and peppy. It’s making so excited to be in the city this summer. And it’s the official NY tourism song, insane right? Yes, “New York has been waiting for me.” Love this song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzr5VtFvSyw

Blank Space. Easily one of my favorite songs off the album. It’s pure perfection and I love it! “It’s gonna be forever or worth the pain. I got a blank space baby and I’ll write your name.” I love it. PERECTION in terms of a song.

Style. So peppy and upbeat, it makes me want to dance! 🙂 Ugh, I’m waiting for a dance to it on DWTS!

Out of the Woods. The iTunes preview doesn’t do this song any justice. It’s great. And is it really about HARRY STYLES??? Can someone confirm? As a journalist, I want to know the truth! (Haha, lol.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVAfR3QjFKo

All You Had to do Was Stay. Amazing. Love it. So great. 

I Wish you Would. LOVE LOVE. Great song. So peppy.

Bad Blood. Oh wow, this is so catchy. More importantly, who is Taylor feuding with??

Wildest Dreams. At first, I didn’t like it. But it’s growing on me as a sweet ballad.

How You Get the Girl. I LOVE THIS SONG. Hands down, one of the best off the album. It’s very dance-y and I love it. It’s even my alarm. 

This Love. Not bad, a sweet ballad.Screen Shot 2014-11-06 at 4.49.14 PM

I Know Places. Kinda haunted. (haha, I just realized that pun. Oh wow, that was not intended.) But, really good.

Clean. The one song I’m not crazy about. 

No matter my tastes, I think we can all agree that Taylor did a great job on this album, and as Brad Paisley said, “New York’s gain is Nashville’s loss.”

And speaking of music, One Direction just released a new track off their soon-to-be-released album, called “Ready to Run.” I love it because it’s more than their traditional past songs that are very dance-y. It’s a beautiful ballad, and I really like the mature sound. Great job, One Direction, great job. It’s mature, well-written and catchy. I love it. People are comparing it to Steal My Girl: but I don’t see that. (Partly because I wasn’t a fan of the previous single, but Ready to Run: it’s good.)

LISTEN HERE.
