Am I Too Late?

In 2009 boyfriend jeans were all the rage. I bought a pair from Madewell that Spring and told the girl I thought they were too big on me (which they were). But she assured me that they weren't too big, that it was "just the look." Seriously I looked like a fool! Now I'm sure she just wanted the sale. It was good for her but for me it was $100 wasted on jeans that I wore maybe once for ten minutes. But lately I've been thinking about how cute boyfriend jeans were and how much I still really want a pair. Preferably ones like this chick is wearing above. A pair that's fitted but not painted on her leg. I think these are the perfect kind. Am I 3 years too late or can I still find boyfriend jeans somewhere? Help!

DIY Oscar Party

When I have a place of my own, I plan to be the kind of person that hosts dinner parties and themed parties for every holiday or occasion, like The Oscars. I came across this cute DIY Oscar Party idea here and wanted to share it with you guys today since it is Oscar Sunday. I thought it was a cute idea plus it's complete with printables and all! 







2012 Grammy's: Loves It & Hates It

Although I think Joan Rivers does an amazing and hilarious job, along with Kelly Osbourne and the others, I decided to hold my very own Fashion Police for the 2012 Grammy's here and share some of my favorites and least favorites of the night with you.
Sequence was obviously a major trend at this years Grammy's. I absolutely loved Katy Perry in this sky blue Elie Saab dress. The deep V in the back was stunning, as was the applique that covered the dress. Elie Saab has been having some major moments. Remember that lavender gown Mila Kunis wore to the Oscars last year? Anyways, loves it! And I didn't even mind her matching blue hair. She totally pulled it off. Kelly Osbourne looked beautiful as well in that one shouldered metallic gold sequined Tony Ward couture dress. It fits her body perfect and I think her lilac hair looks amazing with it. She looks awesome! Oh, RiRi. I usually don't have good things to say about what Rihanna wears but I think she killed it this year. The deep plunging neckline of this simple black dress could've been a little too much but I think it looked va-va-voom on her. She co-designed this one of a kind dress with Giorgio Armani and said she was going for Michelle Pfieffer in "Scarface". And the always gorgeous Carrie Underwood. I never have anything bad to say about her. She always looks like perfection. I love the white Gomez Garcia dress she wore with its cutout back. She always looks so elegant! I love her. These ladies looked fabulous and definitely rocked it.
Now onto "What the hell were they thinking?" Seriously though, what the hell were they thinking? My mom called me in from the other room to see how ridiculous Fergie was dressed. Even famous designers make mistakes. I'd love to know how this Jean Paul Gautier dress was worn on the runway. I don't know how anyone could make something bright orange and see through be attractive. Adam Levine, you can do no wrong.. but your girlfriend can! I think the difference between being sexy and slutty is the amount of skin you show. This is just overkill. Granted Anne Vyalitsyna is a Victoria Secret Angel and is gorgeous, this dress is just too much. Dislike! I was going to do all dresses that I loved and hated but then I saw Rick Ross and just had to throw him in the bunch. You couldn't get a little more dressed up? And Nicki Minaj. I love Nicki Minaj. Major fan over here. I know she's known for her crazy Gaga-esque style but I just can't deal with this. She looks like Little Red Riding Hood in this Versace gown. Maybe that's what she was going for. Hated all of these! Definitely my least favorites. C'mon guys, you can do better!

Winter (Wahhh)

The only reason I look forward to winter is because Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday. Now that we're halfway through January, I'm praying for early spring weather. I just find it so hard to dress for winter weather! It's freezing cold in NYC. I just want to throw on whatever I can find in my closet that will keep me the warmest. And I hate jackets! If I could avoid wearing jackets forever, I would. They always ruin a good outfit in the winter. Anyways, this girl clearly knows how to rock a jacket and dress for winter weather. I'm loving her look. So simple and so cute. And in all neutrals! (Neutrals are my favorite!) I love her oversized chunky gray circle scarf and her adorable black knit hat with the pom pom on it. She looks so chic, but still extremely warm. I need to step up my game. P.S. My favorite part of her outfit is that awesome lightning bolt ring she's wearing.

Resolution #2

Another one of my resolutions is to take more photos, especially for my blog, but also for myself. I used to be that person that always had her camera with her but last year I was the opposite. I got pretty lazy. It's just that my camera is so heavy! So i stopped carrying it with me all of the time and as a result forgot a lot of what I learned in my photography class and took a lot less photos than before. I'm going to try to brush up on my skills as soon as possible and start carrying my DSLR with me.

Resolution #1

I made a list of resolutions for 2012 and one of them is to eat healthier. Granted this isn't the healthiest meal in the world but you have to start somewhere, right? And I am a very unhealthy eater. Cheeseburgers, fries, pasta, etc. So I'll keep the fries and opt for a sandwich instead of a burger. Hopefully I can make this work. I've been told old habits die hard.
