Loafers are the new it item on every fashion blogger’s list, but pair them with glitter and my heart melts. I mean, possibly to the same extent Kristen Bell‘s did when she had a sloth come to her birthday party. I’m serious. And you want to really elicit a meltdown? I can no longer find them on the Dolce Vita site. NOOOOOOOoooooo!
The Kills is one of my hubby’s favorite bands…and mine. For his birthday present, I got him tickets to see them in Paris last year during our Europe trip and they blew.us.away. So naturally when we found out they were going to play in South Florida, we had to get tickets once again. Holy hell. Why are they so amazing? Add front row status, and we almost couldn’t handle it. Alison Mosshart is electric, hot, and magnetic (Jamie, you are not far behind, my friend).
Which leads me into why these photos may be a little…well, awkward looking. They were taken outside the venue a couple of hours before doors opened and Alison was literally down the street. I just could not concentrate on my best “fashion blogger stance/face/pose” because the level of cool in the air was raised an infinite amount of notches and I just could not compete. So ridiculous giggles and weird contorted faces resulted instead. Sorry for that.
It’s that time, lovelies!
Unfortunately, we had an odd number of participants, so I had to cancel myself out of the equation to match up everyone else. I won’t be participating in this swap, but hope to be able to the next time around when The Fashionable ESQ hosts!
Thanks to everyone that did show interest – I hope the more we do these, the more bloggers will want to participate. I really think it’s a fun way for all of us to bond and create relationships with each other. Plus, who doesn’t like gifts?
I decided to match everyone up the old fashion way by putting your names in a hat and drawing them randomly (yes, this is how I have fun when the hubs is away on business trips)! And here are the results;
If you want to freshen up on the requirements, here’s the original blog post! & please don’t forget to share your posts with me – I can’t wait to see what everyone receives and how you will all style it!
I’ve been inspired by some great blog swaps lately and wanted to host one of my own. I initially thought nail polishes since it is such an obsession hobby of mine, and I know a lot of you feel the same, but then I remembered that you cannot ship nail polish (I unfortunately learned the hard way). I continued to brainstorm and while shopping for sweet new accessories, it hit me!
Why don’t I pair up with the lovely Fashionable ESQ and offer a quarterly accessory swap based on a trend of our choosing? Everyone knows trends change like the tides in fashion, and one way to look the part without spending copious amounts of cash is to add those little pops to your wardrobe in the form of necklaces, headbands, lipstick, belts, etc. Think of it as a blogger not-so-secret Santa of sorts!
With that said, this quarter’s swap will be NEON!
You can purchase any accessory you wish for your blogger partner, as long as it is bright, loud & fun, and of course, matches their personal style (see below). Also, I will not set a spending limit, but stress that this does not have to be anything exorbitant. Remember, the whole point of these swaps is to stay fashionable with details that will not break the bank.
I will close the window to participate at the end of the week (1/22/12) and at that point, I will pair us all up!
I get so excited when it’s award season!
It’s just so exciting and glamorous.
Unfortunately, this year I had to watch the Golden Globes under the covers trying to endure intense body aches and one killer sore throat. Yep, I picked up a fun virus. But that didn’t stop me from listing out my best and worst dressed on the carpet.
& here they are;
Sofia Vergara, Nicole Ritchie, Nicole Kidman, Kelly Osbourne and Emma Stone actually looked like they were going to a glamorous event. Unfortunately, the rest of the big stars seemed to be attending something more along the lines of their senior prom. Am I right? Definitely was not blown away with the fashions (was that a Jessica McClintock Natalie Portman was rocking? Seriously).
Sorry ladies. Unfortunately, voluminous gowns seemed to have made a very ill-fitting comeback last night (Sarah Michelle Gellar blue paint disaster and Piper Perabou‘s nude cupcake number), along with gowns that wanted to compete with actresses over attention (the beautiful Dianna Agron managed to take a backseat to her overly intricate laser cut swan [?!?!] dress). You may be thinking, “Well where does Claire Danes fit in?” Although her dress was really beautiful from the back, I just cannot get behind this white/black contrast trend. It is so matronly! Made me totally miss her little neon pink ensemble from last year’s show.
What did all you pretties think?
ps; wait until you see what I have in store for all of you tomorrow!
