Friday Fav: Casual Friday

We’re taking it down a notch today. Usually I post pictures of these stars all glammed up on the red carpet, but I saw two looks this morning that were toned down and I really, really loved the way they looked. Behold…

Jordin Sparks

jordin-sparks-290I really love this look on her. I have this weird complex in my head that only girls who are 9 feet tall and 80 pounds can wear leather… even though I’ve recently purchased a pair of leather pants from H&M, I still have to give myself a big pep talk before I wear them. So it’s super refreshing to see someone who doesn’t have the ‘typical’ Hollywood body type rocking some leather pants. Makes me feel better about myself! I am obsessed with her shoes also. I have been searching high and low for a pair quite similar to these. I am also really digging the white top paired with a neutral biker jacket. This whole look is so understated but still looks so hott. And let’s not forget her super swagful arm party! Always a plus. Her lip color choice is interesting to me too. It’s not red, coral, or pink. It’s like a bright berry mixed with coral and pink? Not sure about that, I could never pull that color off but it looks amaze on her. I am a fan of this. What do you think?

Nikki Reednikki-reed-290

This literally looks like something I would wear out to a nice dinner with the hubs or drinks for girls night. It’s SUCH a cute outfit! She’s rocking this outfit at an album release party which seems totally appropriate. She may be wearing leather pants too? It’s kind of hard to see in the picture, but I see some shine, so there’s probably some leather going on there. WHICH, if you didn’t know, leather is a huge trend for this Spring. So work it into your wardrobe somehow. Moving on… The little pop of color found in her clutch is fabulous, it does a great job of breaking up the black and white. I love the embellishments on the collar of her shirt, and her shoes! So simple yet so chic. She always looks so good, doesn’t she? I’m a big fan of Ms. Reed.

Those are my looks this week, kiddies! What do you think? This makes me want to get somewhat dressed up and go out to dinner now. A nice paleo dinner, of course! wink wink. Until next time. Kisses!

Friday Fav!

I would just like to point out that I managed to post on this bad boy EVERY DAY this week! I deserve a cookie. And I think I’ll have one. boom.

Say hello to my Friday Favorite this week.

Victoria Justice

victoria-justice-290Insert heart-eye’d emoji here. I know she’s like somewhat of a Disney star or something  and people are going to freak out saying she’s dressed way too scandalously or whatever, but hot damn does she look good! She’s 20, she’s growing up, she can wear whatever she wants. She reminds me of Camilla Belle here, no? Little bit. Anyway, to me this is head-to-toe perfection. I love, love, love the print of this mini dress! It’s short but has a high neckline so she’s showing a ton of leg but not too much of anything else. She has an absolutely flawless blowout, perfect red lip, chandelier earrings, and hott black pumps. I don’t know if you can tell I’m drooling from reading this, but I am, haha. Amazing, seriously. If I had legs like her’s I’d rarely ever wear clothes from the waist down. Kudos, Victoria!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! The hubs and I are hitting up a Grace Potter concert tonight! Totally stoked on it. I’ll try to post about it this weekend, as I’m sure it will be an awesome show. She never, ever disappoints! Until next time, kisses!

 

Friday Fav!

My Friday Fav this week was chosen for a very specific reason. As a [kind of] new mom myself, (7 and a half months still counts as new right?] I really, truly love seeing other new moms bouncing back and looking absolutely amazing while doing it! I know it’s pretty much super easy for celebs, they have like 8 nannies to watch their kids while they train with their 5 personal trainers at the gym for 3 hours a day, twice a day, 7 days a week. A lot of math there, huh? Long story short: bouncing back after having a baby for real moms = not as easy as it is for celeb moms. Got it? Good. ANYWAY. With that being said, here’s my Friday Fav.

kristin-cavallari-290

Kristen Cavallari, previously of The Hills, looks drop dead gorgeous for being a new mommy. I mean, I know black is the world’s most slimming color, but the bitch doesn’t even look like she just had a baby! Especially in her face and that’s where I think my biggest problem was. Ok… and my ass… and my legs… and my arms… and my ever flabby stomach. But also my face. :] She had her first babe in August, 2 months after me, and she looks this good already? I almost hate her for it. Anyway, I don’t just like this look because she seems to be super in shape again, ha. I love the black on black with a white blazer on top. That look is ALWAYS so chic! Her chunky statement necklace is totally something I would wear. Staying true to her signature style she’s sporting easy makeup and unfussy hair. I can’t lie, she looks a little on the tired side in this picture though, haha. BUT none the less, she’s killin it for sure. Kudos K Cav. I’m super jeal.

What do you guys think? Celeb or not, she’s looking quite smashing for having a 6 month old, don’t you agree?

Until next time, kisses!

Friday Fav!

Ok, at the count of three, let’s all celebrate that I managed to post more than once in the week… ready… 1……2…..3…. YAY! This is a minor accomplishment but it feels like winning the gold in the Olympics. I’m that excited about it… haha Okay. Let’s get down to business shall we? Here are my favorite looks from the week;

Ashley Greene … she is a class act, is she not? She has such great hair it makes me sad that she has to have it in that stupid pixie cut for the Twilight movies. But those are almost over for her, thank god. Let’s hope her next big role lets her rock her locks like this! Anywho. I am seriously loving this whole ensemble. It’s very understated yet very classy. The neutral hues from neck to toes are fabulously pulled together with her gold jewelry, bag, and matching makeup. She doesn’t go overboard, which we all know I’m a big fan of. Less is more!

 

Next up… let’s talk about Rachel Weiz. I kind of have one of those girl crushes on her. She always looks like such a lady, and a well dressed one at that! She never looks frumpy to me and she rarely makes poor decisions when it comes to her wardrobe. I adore this dress, especially the upper half. I love the little peekaboo of different fabric. The shoes and the red lips pull the look together completely and she looks absolutely flawless, to me anyway!

What do you guys think? Hits, or misses? Fill me in! And until next time, kisses!

Friday (Saturday) Favorite!

So I know it’s Saturday and not actually Friday… I am well aware of this fact… but I do have a Friday favorite this week and I didn’t have time to post yesterday so I am posting today! Get ova it.

My Wednesday Worst was all about the MTV Movie Awards… and boy were there a lot of them. It’s kind of expected from the MTV Movie Awards isn’t it? It’s not as fancy as other awards shows but somehow people use that as an excuse to just dress like a complete douche. Leave it to MTV… So anyway. Here is my favorite look from the Awards Show. Someone who knows the importance of keeping it classy, and for the first time on the blog ladies and gentleman, my Friday Fav is a dude! Behold.

Now it could just be the way the backdrop completely picks up his eyes, but I kind of swoon over this look. It’s not hard to look sharp if you’re a guy… suit and tie or a tux, run a comb through your hair, make sure you’re clean shaven and boom… you look handsome. It’s really hard to screw that up. So I like how handsome Mr. Thor looks while he looks like he isn’t trying hard to look so handsome, at all! His hair is pulled back into a loose ponytail, which I love, he has a little bit of a 5:00 shadow working for him, and his shirt has that whole deep v thing goin’ on while he shows a little peek of some mysterious and I’m sure ever-so-significant necklace under his shirt, and no jacket, just a vest. He’s like a way cooler Justin Timberlake here. I dig it, a lot! And bless his soul for not showing up to the MTV Movie Awards in say…. jeans, a white t-shirt, and a leather jacket… (see below). I appreciate a well dressed man, and Chris Hemsworth does it for me here. Kudos, huntsman, kudos!

So that’s my favorite this week. Who were you guys swooning over on the red carpet?

OH – just a little disclaimer here… as of today I am 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My little bundle of stubborn joy is due anyyy day now, so if I suddenly disappear from the blog world for a while, it’s because she has finally decided to grace us with her presence and come out! (Can you tell I’m getting a little impatient?) 9 months is a long time to be pregnant. I feel more like an elephant… aren’t they pregnant for like 9 years? Oh jesus.

Anyway! That’s all from me today. I hope everyone has a great weekend! Kisses.

Friday Fav!

Good morning lovers. Happy Friday! Let’s get right into my favorite look this week. In my mind, this girl never disappoints… how do you feel about her? Let’s take a look…

Charlize Theron, ladies and gents! How gorgeous does she look here? I really love this look because I feel like there is kind of some irony behind it. She’s out and about promoting her new movie Promethus, which I gather from previews is about a bunch of people who get lost in space while encountering aliens. So what I like about this look, is that her dress kind of reminds me of, like, a galaxy? Ya know? I don’t know if she went for that look on purpose, but regardless, I dig it. The color of the dress is gorgeous and I loooove the way she looks so simple and elegant with her hair and makeup all understated like it is. I am quite saddened that whoever took this picture cut off her shoes! Any good photographer knows to get a good picture you must have show the whole body from head to toe, duh. So I went ahead and tracked down some other pictures… I HAD to know what her shoes looked like! hah

They don’t make or break the look for me. And in the middle picture she is having a very Angelina Jolie moment with the leg… gag me, but I still love it none the less. What do you guys think? Is her look a hit or a cosmic miss this week? (see what I did there?) Later loves!

Friday Fav!

Morning, kids! How are we all doing today? It’s another great day here on the East Coast and I couldn’t be happier! I got to lay out yesterday and I plan on spending all day in the sun today as well. Finally getting some normal, natural color on my skin. Feels splendid! I was torn between two favorites this week, so I’m going to post both of them. Check it out.

First up, Miranda Kerr at the In Style awards. How beautiful does she look?? I wish I had a back view of this dress because I bet it’s amazing.

I love the color of the dress and the cut. I am all for plunging neck lines! I know they can be somewhat on the wild side, but if you can pull it off, then by all means, DO! It’s a great look, in my book. She has simple Jimmy Choo’s on, simple but quite elegant jewelry. She is even dabbling a little bit in the dark lip look that’s pretty in right now without looking all goth. It’s more on the red side, but you can tell she’s trying to go there, haha. Although, I mean, let’s be serious, you can put a potato sack on this girl and she could somehow make it walk down a runway like a couture gown, couldn’t she? I think she’s just adorable, and she looks fabulous here without going overtly sexy. I dig this look lots.

And for my next look… one of my personal style favorites in the world of Hollywood fashion…

Naomi Watts! I’m going to come right out and say it now.. I have a girl crush on this woman. Her and Diane Kruger. I feel like they both always look so polished and put together, totally ready for the cameras. Sure, they may have some fashion slip ups every now and then, who doesn’t? We all fall victim to some hideous trends sometimes (hello harem pants!) but this woman holds it down. The first thing I noticed about this dress was the color. I love the dark and dramatic jewel tone. That Stella McCartney really knows her ish. I never see anyone wearing a piece of hers looking anything less than fabulous. I love how the combination of her accessories and subtle makeup give this look a relaxed yet classy feel. And she is also wearing Jimmy Choo’s on her feets… love!

So that’s that, lovelies, these are my two favorites this week. What do you think? Did I miss anyone? Let me know. And as always, have a great day and a fabulous weekend! I have lots of things to do this weekend so I won’t be posting again until Monday. Foo Fighters concert… graduation party… mom’s birthday. Busy busy! So until Monday, kisses!

Good afternoon kids! I hope you are all having a wonderful Friday, wherever you are. It’s beautiful here on the east coast today, thank god! It’s seriously about time. I just went and had a nice little lunch with the hubs on the water at one of our favorite spots. But now it’s time to fill you all in on my fav look this week. Check it out.

This week’s fav: Gwyneth Paltrow

Look at her, looking gorgeous as ever at the Met Gala! To me, she is someone who is aging perfectly! I know that’s like a weird thing to say about someone… but she just looks so good to me! Let’s take a look at her whole get up.

 She looks gorgeous in this little Prada mini, showing juuuuust the right amount of side boob. Any more and we’d have a Janet Jackson Super Bowl fiasco on our hands. She plays by the fashion rules… short skirt, high neck. Even if you can see half her boob.

I love the color of the dress and the subtle makeup and hair. And don’t even get me started on these shoes! I need them. For reals. I am totally obsessed with her look. To me, she nailed it. What do you guys think?
