Pink Hair

I wish I was daring enough to try something like this....

Blue Shoes

Craving some color in this dreary weather...

She ended up being slight reminiscent of Emma Stone seen here in Giambattista Valli, so I gave her red hair. This also has me craving a haircut! I'm desperate...

Purchase prints of her and yesterday's Rims here.

Rims

Oh to live in a world where looking this chic in grey + camel was easy and your biggest problem was that your coffee cup was empty...

If I owned (or needed) glasses, they would definitely be thick-rimmed black square frames. Just saying...

I was simply too underwhelmed by Sunday's SAG Awards to even post on them yesterday. The biggest standout was the color navy. These ladies all look lovely, but I have to say that the pregnant Busy Phillips (far left) was my favorite. Way to embrace to bump...

She accessorized perfectly with the necklace and simple hair off her face. I did love Nicole Kidman's stick-straight hair. I love how she did something completely different from her loose curls at the Globes.

Here's to hoping they're all saving their Sunday best for the Oscars.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day...

Have you met the Valentine's girls yet?

They are the perfect way to send your LOVE this year...

They are available on the notecards tab under "Holiday" (or just click here).

First Daughters

Setting politics aside for a moment, you know you watched the Inauguration at least to see what the First Females were wearing... including the First Daughters, Sasha and Malia in Kate Spade and J.Crew.

Their color coordinating looks were a more sophisticated look than their brighter colored coats four years ago.

The entire family was nicely coordinated without being too matchy.

On to Mrs. Obama, who chose a Thom Browne coat after her chartreuse Isabel Toledo look last time.

Again, a much more sophisticated choice in an understated way. I do have to say that I much prefer the coat without the belt and purple gloves. The belt can stay if she switches to black gloves.

Thoughts on the First Lady's new hairdo? I give her props for trying something new.

Hipster

Pardon the interruption... we are back up and running after a morning of no internet, tv, etc.

Drawing inspiration from these two photos (including Kylie Jenner), it's freezing cold here and making me want to throw on a lot of black (always) with a cozy hat.

By the way, I think this would pair perfectly with "Black" from the other day.

Design Dream

I dreamed a dream....really... of this top. I have no idea where it came from other than my Pinterest boards where black & white stripes are dominant.

Happy Friday (and holiday weekend)! Be back Monday...

Black

This should come as a shock to those closest to me... today I'm wearing head to toe black (my daily uniform).

It looks a little something like this:

Anthropologie top - J.Crew pixie pants - Tory Burch Elina boots - bag

I wouldn't lie...

Golden Globes Best Dressed

I really thought my favorites were these two, and they definitely are towards the top of my list.

However, when I got in bed last night and started flipping through the new issue of Martha Stewart Weddings, I stumbled across this stunning Zac Posen mint cream dream.

It confirmed the fact that Kelly Osbourne was, in fact, my favorite of the night. The mint against her lavender hair, it's impeccable. She's such a risk-taker. I love it.

Purchase the lovely "Kelly O" here (with a slightly more normal hair color).

Golden Globes 2013

I feel like it's the return of the Golden Globes. With Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting, I found the entire show to be highly entertaining (and the dresses didn't disappoint either). From dark lips and retro waves to gowns in every color of the rainbow, it truly was a standout.

Let's start with the good...

You can never go wrong with black, but these ladies all spiced it up a little while still being 100% fab.

Katherine McPhee's shoes were to die for. Her head to toe look was spot on.

And then there were those that wore white... all lovely with my favorites being Heidi, Michelle and Julianne. Anne Hathaway was just meh in my opinion, but so was her anticlimactic haircut in the movie. Her dress is Chanel, but seemed a little ill-fitting.

Red on the red carpet... for Claire, Miranda, Jennifer and Naomi, it was a major success (the back of Naomi's dress was so fab)...

And for my other favorites, they all branched out with color and texture. What's not to love about Jessica Alba's fluffy clutch? Kerry Washington took a major risk and got a major reward with her shorter Miu Miu creation. Guiliana's first dress was so much more lovely than the black lacey thing she wore while doing interviews. And can we mention that Kelly Osbourne has to be the only person on the planet that can look this good with purple hair.

This is what to wear on a red carpet when you're expecting... no further explanation needed.

Now for the bad... no explanation needed here either:

Ok, so I had some major issues with these three. They all seemed to have some bust problems. I mean, Halle Berry looks like she has one boob, Jessica Chastain's look like a 90 yr. old grandma down to her elbows, and Jennifer Lawrence is bringing back the Madonna pointed bra.

They were all severely misguided which is so sad because they are all so fab most of the time (especially Jessica Chastain).

And then there's Taylor who also seemed to enhance the breast region with some MAJOR support. Her and Lena chose this horrendous plum color both in a horrendous fabrication. I can't go on...

There were some major standouts in the way of accessories and hair. Debra Messing's jewelry made up for her unflattering Donna Karan number. How beautiful are her accessories?

But the BIGGEST standout of the night was the difference in hair styles than what we've been seeing for years and years. For the up-dos, Julianne Hough takes the cake, but Taylor Swift and Amy Adams had some interesting creations...

I also loved how Claire Danes (and others) went for a less "done" look with loose curls...

(Can I have your body, Claire Danes? She gave birth one month ago... ONE MONTH!!!)

But for my FAVORITE THING OF THE NIGHT, the side-part retro side-swept curls.

Ah, I was dying. Rachel Weisz (bottom left) had the most fab hair I think I've ever seen, which is funny because it looks like it's just rolled with hot rollers. So sleek, chic and cool. I'm such a fan of this. Goodbye center part, hello side-swept dramatic curls (I say this as I sit with hot rollers in my hair). This is so refreshing. Take a look, this is my new summer hair.

And for a side note, they really should cover the after parties more because there is just as much (if not more) good fashion there as the actual show. Rachel Zoe dazzled in a sequined number while Jessica Alba and Jennifer Lopez made quick changes into these lovely numbers...

Jennifer's jewelry is so beyond... I want it all.

And then there's the girl in the python dress. I found her on Twitter and Instagram and had never heard of her. For those that are with me and didn't know who she was, her name is Kelly Sawyer. I have been searching and searching for a full-body shot of her dress to no avail. If you find one, please send it to me. I LOVE the looks of the top half, so I'm dying to see the rest.

Check back tomorrow for an illustration of my favorite of the night (I'm still trying to narrow it down).

Taking a cue from Mean Girls...

I'm thrilled to announce that the 2013 planners are almost sold out! If you don't have one yet, order it now before they're all gone!

Secondly, I just launched a PRINT EVENT on all in stock prints. They're half-price until Sunday (reg. $20 - the sale price is reflected in the website).

Happy shopping!
