Met Gala 2014 Favorites

I'm sorry but this for me was just perfection. The hair. The minimal makeup. The crop top. The slit. Emma Stone looked absolutely flawless at last night's Met Gala wearing a light pink crop top & hot pink gown skirt, both by Thakoon. I LOVE her fresh face, her braid and the fact that she didn't have to have an all out "princess" moment in order to look glamorous. I'd wear this look in less than 0.5 seconds. #obsessed!!

What do you get when you put Blake Lively, Old Hollywood Glamour and a rocking body together? The above. Her glittering Gucci Première gown pairs perfectly with retro waves and a pink link (Nars Lip Pencil in "Salsa" to be exact) I mean does this look even need any explanation? If it does here it is:

I mean, I'd probably do the same if I was Ryan Reynolds. Girl is gorgeous!!!

 

Basically after Blake & Ryan I didn't need to see anymore. Who were your favs?

OMGeeeezies! Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Wedding Pics!

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds secretly married back in September and we've all been waiting with bated breathe for a few photos to surface. (You'll remember this post when I went crazy for her ridiculously amazing wedding rings) Well apparently, the pair worked directly with Martha Stewart Weddings & the Crafty Queen herself, to create a gorgeous and enchanting affair.

Even though the magazine is only giving us a teeny tiny glimpse, and most of the photos are from the dessert table (come on, I want to see more dress!) it's still better than nothing - right? Shall we take a peek...?

 

This is the one and only shot of the dress folks, so soak it in! Blake wore a stunning rose gold embroidered & crystal beaded tulle Marchesa wedding gown while Ryan wore a Burberry suit & custom made leather suspenders. Of course Lorraine Schwartz designed their wedding bands

 

 

Style Director Kate Berry of Martha Stewart Weddings actually created Blake's gorgeous bouquet. A few of the flowers like pink jasmine and blushing bride hydrangea were a perfect mix of rustic and romantic. She also dipped several of the flowers petals in rose-gold glitter to match the stitching on Blake's dress (and rings!) Super cute & super smart!

 

 

Since Miss Martha is Blake's self-professed "Idol", she wanted to make sure the dessert table was filled to the brim with sweets. But the true life of the spread was their Vanilla and Sour Cream cake with peach-apricot preserve (um, YUM?!). To top it off, their milk chocolate butter cream icing was dyed an earthy and cool Early Grey.

 

 

 Desserts, Desserts & more Desserts! The table was littered with Smores Bars, mini Strawberry Shortcakes & Espresso Beans held by gold foil cupcake liners. (Seriously though, there's like 5 more photos of sweets)

 

So what do you guys think? I LOVE the rose gold colors and the romantic touches. Looks and sounds like Blake & Ryan's wedding was a picture perfect event!

OMGeeeezies! Blake Lively's Wedding Rings

I'm holding my breath on actually seeing her wedding dress, so until we do, this will have to do. Blake Lively's ridiculous and amazing Lorraine Schwartz wedding rings were on display last week and I think I've fallen in love.

 

Her gi-normo engagement ring consists of a pink oval diamond surrounded by a thin band of smaller diamonds for a truly larger than life sparkler. As if that wasn't enough, her delicate rose gold wedding band is also a bunch of teeny diamonds. Pure perfection. Now if we could just get a peek of that gorgeous Marchesa wedding gown....

Steal Her Look for Less: Blake Lively in Lanvin

TopShop Eagle Necklace // H&M Chiffon Blouse // ASOS Tux Pants with Satin Trim // Steve Madden Realove Sandal

Throughout the month of July, Blake Lively hit the press circuit hard promoting her new movie, "Savages." {which was pretty good P.S.!} Showing up on red carpets, TV appearances and photo calls, the "Gossip Girl" star looked absolutely smashing in everything she wore. I just adore the way she styles her looks (yep, girl doesn't use a stylist) because it always looks fresh and fun.

When Blake showed up for an interview on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" I practically swooned over her feminine twist on the menswear trend. I knew I just had to find a look for less. Sleek tuxedo pants and a white shirt are perfectly balanced with her larger than life crystal Eagle necklace. It's an element of surprise with classic pieces. Simple black ankle strap sandals (that can be worn over and over again) were a smart and sexy finishing touch. Keep your pants cropped and tailored so that your look doesn't veer into baggy territory.

Tip: If you can't find an eagle necklace (though there are a TON out there, I just looked) you can always have a DIY moment with a large brooch and chain. Lastly, pair any type of clutch with this look. For me, a pop of neon would be the icing on the cake. Happy Tuesday lovelies!

Inspiration: Wishing... And Hoping....

 ...for a time machine so I can step back into the 60's.... or at least for this Bardot-esque hair and Tambourine

....for blonde hair, kohl-rimmed eyes and that hat

....that hair, those shorts and that adorable malti-poo....

[which is actually her dog Penny!]

In case you couldn't tell I'm obsessed with Blake Lively's hair and this whole spread from Glamour's July issue. Ridiculously gorg. Click here to see the other photos

Blake Lively for Chanel Mademoiselle Handbags: First Look

It's here!! The first photo release from Blake Lively's new campaign for Chanel Mademoiselle Handbags. The photos were shot by Karl Lagerfeld (you'll also remember Mr. Lagerfeld shot this Fendi Handbag campaign I swooned over this past summer) and features a classic quilted red patent leather bag. But I secretly am loving that feather dress though! Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures! Hopefully they will be released soon. 

Happy Monday!!

I've Got The Blues: Cobalt Blue Fashion Trend

Monday Blues! Well.. not those kinds of blues! I've spotted a new trend that's been slowly creeping up the celebrity fashion chain - Cobalt Blue! I noticed a blue bag on Emmy Rossum for a piece I did about Weekend Wear - and blue was turning up on so many runways during Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Week (see this Jason Wu gown and all over the runway at Jil Sander) In the past few weeks celebs have been snapped wearing this exact color - mostly in sheaths.

This is a fantastic color for the upcoming warmer months! So Vibrant - I am loving it. Black accessories look great like Kerry's simple shoes and clutch or go bolder with tons of gold jewelry a la Blake or a statement necklace like Jessica's. If you aren't totally loving the idea of wearing a blue dress - try a different piece.

Here, two Gossip Girl fashionistas prove you don't have to be blue all over in order to keep up with the trends. Leighton Meester (or Blair Waldorf) pairs her suede fringe booties with some navy shorts. Of course - I am obsessed with Blake Lively/Serena van der Woodsen's blue pants/gold sequined jacket look. When veering into the blue pants area, I say steer clear of jeans and try a regular pant. It will give a much cleaner and sleeker look than jeans. The best thing about this bright color is that you can keep the outfit simple as simple as you want (try neutrals like Leighton) or make it as showy and exciting as possible.

I searched for some affordable (yay!) and fabulous pieces that you could add to your closet. I am loving that messenger bag and those Jessica Simpson shoes - so fab!

Interested in trying on the blues? Send me some photos if you try out this trend - I'd love to feature you on the blog! :) Happy Monday Everyone!
