5 RECENT PURCHASES I HAVE MADE....

1.Ann Taylor Loft-Wide Striped Boat Neck Sweater-$59.50
 

2. Forever21-Short Lace Skirt-$13.80 (actually mine came from a boutique in my hometown and was a little mooooore expensive)




3.Target-Leopard Maxi Dress-$24.50

i also bought a few other things this past weekend but none of outfits are up on the websites just quite yet..but some of those items included a cute white sleeveless blouse from francescas'collection and i also managed to slip in an arm-full of turquoise and gold bangles in my shopping bag too. i cant wait to wear my new purchases and i still have my eyes set on a few more i need add to my spring wardrobe...

oh and the best part of the trip was my shopping buddy (MY MOM) :)

OSCARS 2011-MISHAPS

like i said yesterday, i didn't think there was that many bad fashion choices at the OSCARS this year.... just a few tiny mistakes here and there.so as far as poor decisions goes, i would like to first start off with Cate Blanchett's Givenchy Couture frock, I'm still not a fan of lavender(i think its one of those colors that should only be used on walls) and also it seems as if Cate misplaced the self portrait of herself that was obviously suppose to go into the picture frame on the front of her dress(sorry for the harshness).as jayz says "on to the next one"....and so its Amy Adams-a navy dress is about as cool as navy shoes (save it for weddings)!!! I'm all down for full on sparkle dress, but next time Amy please pick it a better color and leave out the mismatch pendent necklace while your at it. oooooohhhh and bbbbyyyyyy the way does anyone else think Reese Witherspoon looked like she was going to a themed party?(maybe her invitation to the Oscars lacked black tie affair on it) but all joking aside i didn't mind her Armani dress, but the  ponytail just threw me for a loop. ok.ok.ok. i could probably go on and on and on-buuuuutttt i think I'm starting to be a little like ricky gervais and not knowing when to stop. so i guess ill give it a rest until the next award season... DUN DUN DUN(the sound of anticipation.).....



 PS. if you are wondering why G.Paltrow didn't make my list of best dressed-it was bc of that awkward pendent on her hip. i mean sometimes small things like jewelry/hair can just kill a whole look.

OSCARS 2011

well the OSCARS have come and gone. but now is the best part (the critics turn to reign in on everything). this year i basically just watched the live red carpet show before hand and skimmed through magazines during the show. i really wasn't too thrilled about the host(GASP)-yes i said it!! don't get me wrong i think Franco has something going for him the in the looks department and i usually think Anne is a great up and coming style icon(except for last night) buuuuut with that being said i don't know why that gives them the right to host the oscars. i need someone with jokes, a little filth, and some evil humor towards the celebs. i mean us humans are sitting here watching these aliens look gorgeous, wear dresses that we would die to have on, and on top of that receive gold naked men statues, so we would LOVE nothing more for them to get knocked back down to earth. i also wasn't too excited about any of the movies this year but ONE thing i was definitely eagerly anticipating was what all the celebs would be wearing. and surprisingly i didn't feel like there were that many let downs this year (just a few mistake that can easily be fixed for next time). lace, sparkle, and different hues of my alumni color (GEAUX LSU) were all the hits on the red carpet this year. i recently talked about lace and sparkle(on the grammy's red carpet) and loved that the celebs decided to get into the spring spirit and wear these lovely trends down the carpet.

so most memorable for me: the guys and i don't mean the guys' tuxes either. I'm talking about their smokin wives/dates. Camilla Alves(Matthew Mcconaughey's lady) looked STUNNING in a sexy black number by Kaufmanfranco. also Rhea Durham(Marky Mark's hunny) sparkled in a two-toned Naeem Khan gown.

and as far as honorable mention: Mandy Moore in Monique Lhuillier, it might have washed her out just a tad bit, buutt that dress was B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. also deserving some recognition is Mila Kunis in Elie Saab Couture. I wasn't too crazy about the lavender color, buutt i did love the dress.

5 YEAR ANNIVERSAY

whoops-sorrrrry guys if you got the wrong impression buuuttt it's not not my five year anniversary (im not that dumb- jk!) it is actually TARGETS. im sure you have all read and heard (if not-get out of that cave and educate yourself or for that matter go take a shower!!) anyways target is celebrating the five-year anniversary of its GO International Program by re-releasing 34 dresses from its past 17 designer collaborations. so bargain shoppers mark you calender for march 13th, when stores and online shopping will begin. but before you savy shoppers stay up all night at your computer or go camping outside of stores, you might want to sneak a peak of the collection first. i hate to be such a debbie downer but im never too impressed with the GO INTERNATIONAL lines. i have liked a few dresses here and there (the RODARATE leopard dress-which didn't make the cut!!) but for the main part i usely just buy targets' different brands. a lot of time i feel like the designers treat these "lower" lines as if they are feeding the masses and that taste doesn't matter as long we have food. WRONG. just bc we cant afford the champagne doesn't mean we have a beer sense of style. soooooo if you are still interested here are a few of the looks that will be reappearing. annnnd for the people who still don't get the duds a second time around- third times a charm?
