MIA much?

Dear Readers,
As much as it pains me, I have been away from you for too long. Let me tell you a short and brief story. My laptop has been infested with a virus. Thus, making it impossible for me to log on to and making it even harder to get in touch with my files. Our home P.C runs extremely slow so that's out of the question. I've taken my laptop to BestBuy and their doing everything they can to save it's life, send your prayers. So I'll have a brand new post soon and in the meantime sorry for being MIA. Hope you all can forgive me and hope to get back to blogging about the one thing that makes everything in this world worth wild (or at least in mine) FASHION!.

-Andy :)

It Girl

Dear Readers,
I hope all of you had a good week! Another week has come and gone and with that we have a new "It Girl". This girl is no stranger to fashion. Fashion and her have a ongoing and passionate relationship. She is always complimented on her impeccable fashion sense and is always seen looking fabulous. She has been on numerous T.V shows including having her own called "It's On With Alexa Chung. If you don't know who I'm talking about by now, shame on you. She isn't afraid to take risks when it comes to fashion and that is why she is this weeks "It Girl"! I am talking about the one and only Miss Alexa Chung. The British beauty is almost always on a best dressed list and even has a Mulberry purse named after her called the Mulberry Alexa. Now if Mulberry is on board with her, then there must be a reason. Not to mention her collaboration with the indie/urban clothing line, Madwell, was a huge success. Selling collections of which Miss Chung described "sexy tomboy". Yes, sexy tomboy seems to be Chung's wardrobe description and it works for her. I love everything she walks out of the house wearing and wish that I could live in her closet. Although that sounds incredibly creepy, it's completely innocent. I honestly cannot wait to see what she wears next because I'm sure as usual, it will be insanely chic!

Oscars!!

Dear Readers,
Another award season has seem to gone by as fast as it arrived. All the awards have been given out, all the tears cried, and all the speeches said. Don't be too sad because even though the award season is over, there's always fashion. Yes, fashion always seems to fill that huge void inside, well for me at least. All jokes aside, despite another award season down the drain, we still always have fashion. With that said let's talk about fashion at the Oscars this past Sunday night. What, don't pretend that's the only reason you tune into the Oscars. That and watching the hilarious "thank you" speeches. Melissa Leo anyone? So I've listed a couple of stars who I think did justice at the Oscars on Sunday. As usual, I don't post the misses because I feel I can get a little mean. I should post it on another blog, one specified for hideous outfits stars manage to leave the house wearing. Sort of like a Rotten Tomatoes thing. Hmm, we'll see. Anyways lets just focus on the good right now instead of the bad.

1. Anne Hathaway
If you tuned into the Oscars on Sunday, you know that just that name, is enough said. Annie looked stunning in every single one of the dresses she wore last night and she wore a lot. My favorite though would have to be the gorgeous red Valentino gown she wore when she arrived at the Oscars. Red was a big color trend last night at the Oscars and I can't imagine why not. The color itself is simply breathtaking and always a hit in my book. Of course when you wear it head to toe, that's a completely different story. Anyways, the girl looked amazing and I loved the little rose details at the trim of the dress. That made the dress even more beautiful. Mr. Valentino knows his stuff. Everything about Annie's look that night was perfect. There wasn't one bad thing about any of her looks. This star is always head to toe perfect when she leaves the house and she should be. She's got the Rachel Zoe to style her, another fashion icon but we'll save her for another time. 


2. Halle Berry
I adored the gown Halle was wearing on Sunday. The pastel Marchesa gown looked absolutely divine Miss Berry. There was also a ton of pastel colors on the red carpet on Sunday and Berry was key with that trend. I loved how she kept it very simple with the jewelry, stunning. The color goes really well with her skin tone and the silhouette compliments her figure. Not only is the color of the dress beautiful but the detailing is as equally beautiful. The train of the dress is very unique and elegantly made. Marchesa is one of my favorite designers and I love how all the dress are simply alluring. Halle made the right decision to go with one of their dresses. She knows what looks good on her and it pays off because she looked incredibly lovely last night!


3. Gwyneth Paltrow
This is a girl who knows her way around the best dressed list by heart. She's constantly on them and I'm pretty sure will remain to do so. Sunday was no exception for the isanely gorgeous blonde. She made her way onto the red carpet with a gold exquisite Calvin Klein gown. The dress reminded me of something Cleopatra would wear, it was very Egyptian inspired. As soon as she stepped foot onto the red carpet, the air in my entire body was sucked out, it was that good. She looked amazing! Everything was on key, the jewlery, hair, and make-up. It was all perfect. Once again Mrs. Paltrow knows how to turn heads and take breathes away when it comes to fashion.


4. Reese Witherspoon 
 I adored Reese's simple black Giorgio Armani PrivĂ© gown. The whole ensemble screamed Audrey Hepburn. Her hair, make-up and subtle jewelry complimented this dress beautifully. I think the dress was perfect for her. Black and white is very in right now. I loved white silk band at the top of the gown and the small train of the dress just perfect. Most people would find this dress to be boring and simple but I find it to be classic and elegant. I loved the whole look and think she made the right choice to go with.



5. Natalie Portman
This girl can do no wrong. She's proven that just because she's pregnant, she can still pull off any look and she looks fabulous while doing it. The Academy Award winner wore a Rodarte violet silk gown that was drenched in Swarovski crystals. She finished off the look with Jimmy Choo heels and Tiffany&Co. jewlery. She was glowing from head to toe and I doubt it was because of her being pregant. The girl is on fire right now and after winning numerous awards for her role in The Black Swan, she doesn't to appear to be stopping anytime soon. Her look on Sunday was absolutely classic and I can't wait to see what she'll do next!


6. Hailee Steinfeld
This 14-year-old has been killing it on the red carpet lately. On Sunday she looked like a little princess in another Marchesa pastel gown. The ankle length dress is perfect for Hailee. Usually you see younger stars trying to pull of an older look. It's refreshing to have a star act her age. I loved the sheer jewel in-crested top and also how it poofs out on the bottom. The detailing is gorgeous as well. Everything about her look is adorable. Her make-up isn't too much, her hair is just right, and her jewelry is the right amount. She pulled this look off perfectly.

It Girl!

Dear Readers,
So yet another week has gone by as quickly as it started and with that, it means we have a new "It Girl". I'm sure you're all aware who Ms. Rachel Bilson is. Well if you're not familiar with the star/ fashion icon then you need to get educated fast. It's no secret that Bilson has been a style icon for sometime now. She's on every best dressed list and almost every fashion magazine is always doing a story on her. The girl seems to have made her way in the fashion world but if you knew who she was, you'd already knew that. Every time she walks out of the house, she's never seen in anything hideous. Not to mention she's dating one of the most gorgeous men in Hollywood, Mr. Hayden Christiansen. It seems this girl has absolutely no troubles to worry about, she's got it all! I predict big things happening for her, maybe a fashion line in the works? Oh my lord, that would be a dream come true and I know I wouldn't mind wearing a an outfit designed by Ms. Bilson herself, who wouldn't?

No leg work required!

Dear Readers,
Spring is almost in the air and with that brings new trends and styles! Skirts. When the very word comes to mind you think mini. Well get that visualization out of your head because there's a brand new trend in town. I'm talking about the "long skirt". Short skirts were replaced by long versions at this years Spring/Summer fashion shows. Every designer from Jil Sander to Diane Von Furstenburg had models strutting down the runway in blowy and sheer long skirts and why not? The trend is incredibly genius. When most  girls wardrobes consists of short dresses and short shorts, it seems a trend has arrived that requires no leg work at all. To be honest, I've always loved to idea of a cute maxi skirt. The way it falls on the body and not mention how extremely comfy they are. There are so many varieties of maxi skirts and so many ways to wear them you're left wondering why someone hadn't brought on this trend sooner. I have this gorgeous vintage glittery one that I wear with a sheer white tank and a black leather jacket with the sleeves pushed up. Fashion is always ever changing that it's hard to know what's in and what's out but hopefully this trend stays around long enough. What, a girl can dream right?

 
 





Feeling Inspired!

It Girl!

Dear Readers,
Models. Just the very word is enough to make any girl cringe. With their long legs and lean figures, a model is every girls nightmare. But you have to admit, being a model has it's perks and they're almost always on a best dressed list. So that's why I've decided to choose one for this weeks "It Girl". Whenever I take a look at this certain model, she always looks amazing. I'm talking about non other than Miss Chanel Iman. With one of the most envious names in the business, Miss Iman is well on her way to becoming a style icon, if she isn't already. With her flawless skin tone and amazing figure, what's not to be envious about? I've been completely jealous of every single outfit she's worn and why wouldn't I be? Whether it's her wearing Alexander McQueen or even the gorgeous creations of Coco Chanel herself, this model has proved that not only does she have a beautiful face. She's got amazing style as well. It looks like Iman plans to be in business for a very long time and I look forward to seeing what she'll be wearing along the way!
