</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But then again, I could name you so many more movies with stupid ass plot lines- movies that I still choose to love, because of their aesthetic appeal...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For instance, when I think of the <b><u>classic pin-up beauty</u></b>, I don't think Grace Kelly. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm sorry, I'm just not from that era.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Instead, I think <b>Kate Beckinsale from <i>Pearl Harbor</i>.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you don't have a clue what I'm talking about cause you haven't seen the movie largely criticized in terms of its historic accuracy, I mean this:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I still remember this scene from the movie, <u>where Ben Affleck stares at Kate Beckinsale for a creepy ass long time and murmurs some corny line that goes</u>: <b><i>"Gah- you're so pretty."</i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Snort.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I mean, a completely unrealistic line, right? But if I were a guy and I was looking into <b>THAT</b>, I wouldn't be able to put it any other way.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Oh, and as a side note-</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ladies, if you haven't seen the movie, just go and watch it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It stars <b>Ben Affleck</b> and<b> Josh Hartnett</b>- what more do I have to say?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Okay, so <i>my point is.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The <b>classic pin-up look</b> consists roughly of:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>-Thick, winged out black liquid liner</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>-Strong, defined eyebrows with a very high arch</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>- Porcelain skin- no bronzer, just a hint of berry blush</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>and <b>bold, matte red lips.</b></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Completely timeless beauty look that still looks stunning if you wear it out today.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But what has inspired this blogpost is a picture that I came across of <b>Ashley Greene</b>, our little Alice. She wore virtually the same pin-up look I described above, except she opted for <b>glossy, berry lips instead of red. </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The lips gave the entire look a fresh take from the pin-up look, and made it very modern.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here is the picture I am referring to:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Very pretty, I have to say.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I think berry lips, I also think of Blair Waldorf. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are two prime examples of what I am referring to:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5218HAPN5fZc-gmDR1fY4_DcgdbP7GnbfhzluulnDqN47zvK-YTXkCYdy9EtfUgOwGlWCAcB_viFIpZAIVsHqIeTKrGQ9FWJ5F1qwGXNN75QWtS31Q8oEh5VOEeUlXKlp58CNppYtj1c/s1600/blair-is-cute.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5218HAPN5fZc-gmDR1fY4_DcgdbP7GnbfhzluulnDqN47zvK-YTXkCYdy9EtfUgOwGlWCAcB_viFIpZAIVsHqIeTKrGQ9FWJ5F1qwGXNN75QWtS31Q8oEh5VOEeUlXKlp58CNppYtj1c/s1600/blair-is-cute.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtwLdzpLIFLC8_GMqtcBUvXpGrwdsaLdZGHhol_tD2sfvnL07xYJSSnBVhy_Z_EwiOH86MKsTnnzDxnqtjQyIDxJ6z9W11oWCNpXUvJpw4aaES2edVYSC2WCowUzr9z052J0O4HBBQGuo/s1600/image0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtwLdzpLIFLC8_GMqtcBUvXpGrwdsaLdZGHhol_tD2sfvnL07xYJSSnBVhy_Z_EwiOH86MKsTnnzDxnqtjQyIDxJ6z9W11oWCNpXUvJpw4aaES2edVYSC2WCowUzr9z052J0O4HBBQGuo/s400/image0.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">See, Blair Waldorf's character itself revolves around <u>classic beauty</u>. I mean, her role model is Audrey Hepburn, so you can just take a wild guess. If Serena opts for the care-free vibe, with a shimmering nude-pink gloss thrown on to go with her Cali-girl inspired beachy waves, <u>Blair goes for the classic, sans-frizz ringlets, <b>and then the berry lips.</b></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So my point is, <u>we can still wear pin-up, but if you want to look more modern and style-savvy, try a pigmented berry gloss or moisturizing berry lipstick instead of red.</u> I swear, so many girls I know always stay safe with the pinks and the corals-</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">but for once go bold- go berry! I promise you'll find that extra oomph of confidence that'll make you go <i>woooaaaaahh where did <b>that </b>come from?</i> Find that vixen within you.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And who knows?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">That cute guy who looks just like Ben Affleck might come up to you and say</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>"Gah- you're so pretty."</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u>Jason Wu</u></b> is definitely a familiar name- I think I've often seen celebrities like <b>Kourtney Kardashian</b> and <b>Reese Witherspoon</b> (whom I both adore) wearing some of his cute cocktail numbers. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is my first official post and mention of the brand though, because I was completely in love with his new resort collection this year- <u>very cute, preppy, and just <i>fresh</i>.</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For this collection there is a lot of <b>black and white</b> with a mix of <b>grays </b>as well- but then of course he throws in some <u>acid yellow and burnt coral</u> to still make it very summery.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love everything about the clothes- probably because I would buy every single piece if I could- they are<i> so me</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So enough of me raving, here are my top picks:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love the <u>crisp, yet girly cut</u> of the dress. The length is not so short either.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And then the <i>cobalt blue touch</i>!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>Very</i> cute, don't you think?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've never thought of matching a necklace <i>over</i> a buttoned up blouse like this- which especially looks good because of the color contrast. I love the bag too! And then the sandals- I see an overriding trend of some very <b>simple, strappy sandals </b>for this season. It's a different kind of strappy from what we are used to, though.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There are some designers specifically known for producing great minimalistic collections, including <b>Calvin Klein</b> and <b>Phillip Lim</b>.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love both worlds of extravagance and minimalism- and sometimes, I think we all need a little bit of both. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Just let it go.<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I decided I wanted to incorporate some personal chit chatting once in a while in this blog, for those times when I dearly need some writing to confide in myself with.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Writing, as so, is such a beautiful form of art- it heals my heart inside and out.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>About letting go, forgiving and forgetting what your friends had done to you.</b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When I have too much time in my hands, I begin thinking too much into things.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I get worked up in the small details in my life that cause everything to be slightly less perfect.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Put in more simple terms, I have always been one to never, EVER want any flaw in my life.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>I hated flaws- I still do.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I hated that my life couldn't be 100% perfect all the time- that <b>something always had to be wrong.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Why is that? Why can't I have a day- a week- a month- a year without any worry or anxiety- without any <i>disappointments, failures, heartbreaks</i>- any of that?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i>Why can't my life be perfect?</i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A few months back when I was going through this crisis- one that I've been struggling with for all my life- I came across this book called <i>"Don't Sweat the Small Stuff,"</i> written by <u>Richard Carlson</u>. The book basically speaks for itself- it's meant for people exactly like me, who dwell over the small flaws in their lives so much that they <u>can't move on</u>. Carlson keeps reminding me to basically to let the fuck go.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This book (I'm reading the one for teens) covers a lot of stuff that teenagers- or young adults deal with on a daily basis- and Carlson taught me a whole lot of valuable lessons (for instance, one chapter tells me to "be selective when choosing your battles"- meaning, <i>some things are just not worth battling about</i>- they are not worth the time nor the energy.)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One particular chapter that I found was helpful to me read this: <b><i>"Drop the Drama."</i></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ah- <i>drama.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Any teeange girl who had gone through middle school and high school would know a lot about drama. A lot. A lot. A LOT of drama. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The funny thing is, we <i>know</i> it's all unnecessary drama- but we still (or I..still..) dwell over it, get angry about it, get all caught up about it that we<i> fail to recognize the more important things in our lives.</i> For instance, we fail to see what a beautiful day it is outside, how we are so lucky to have caring parents, or how we should be grateful to be breathing air, drinking clean water, eating healthy food, and sleeping with roof above our heads. So many things we miss out on- because we just can't drop the drama. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Here are a few excerpts of the chapter:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"A friend, for example, <u>might make a mistake or say something wrong.</u> Rather than forget about it and get on with our day, we allow ourselves to <u>feel offended and annoyed</u>. We think about the mistake during the rest of the day, feeling more and more justified in our irritation. Many of us might even go home and tell others about it, or call a friend and commiserate, <u>rather than simply letting it go</u>."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"While it can be really tempting to blow these types of things out of proportion, it's ultimately better for your sanity, your friendships, and your happiness to learn to<u> let them go.</u>"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"The problem with sweating the small stuff is that <i>there is, and always will be, an endless supply of things to sweat over.</i> <i><u>There always will be friends making mistakes, strangers cutting us off, things being lost, plans going astray, and all the rest.</u></i>"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"As you learn to let some of these things go, you'll find yourself experiencing far less stress and aggravation. You'll be left with more mental energy and creativity in order to live life to it's fullest."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Enough said. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just yesterday, I did it again.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">An old time friend and I met up for a quick movie and some catching up. We casually came across to talk about a guy we mutually knew- a guy who, I once had been very close with, but through certain misunderstandings had drifted apart. I began getting very upset over even talking about him, and starting defending myself, saying how I wasn't the one to blame- and that it was his fault we weren't as close anymore. I then stopped and asked my friend what I should do- and she shrugged and just said, "just forget about it." It was right then and there when I realized that I was making such a big ass deal about this one thing- this one flaw in my life- which everyone else could tell was nothing to worry about-because all I needed to do was "forget about it."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've always been this way, though.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I get in an argument with a friend, I struggle to fall asleep. I can't do my homework.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I retort back to a teacher, I replay the scene over and over and before I realize I can't concentrate on anything else.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I get upset about what a friend did or said about me- <i>I just can't let it go.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When this time of the year comes around, I love, love, LOVE finding the perfect summer dress.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I came across this too-sweet-for-words summer look Taylor Swift sported out and about:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNB3m2g-ttCtrtrjEzVbXzlOagqwaq4k-qI8tXfG4leKgFdX2ISRUzXqkqFDy2X8tNWMXbbP_Iq1wqaTiL0k7oMSNKu6QXAbdRoD_RpkeCj6LWIwZtEoP97fykc4PVLqpxIuSn2cqFXc/s1600/taylor-swift-290.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfNB3m2g-ttCtrtrjEzVbXzlOagqwaq4k-qI8tXfG4leKgFdX2ISRUzXqkqFDy2X8tNWMXbbP_Iq1wqaTiL0k7oMSNKu6QXAbdRoD_RpkeCj6LWIwZtEoP97fykc4PVLqpxIuSn2cqFXc/s1600/taylor-swift-290.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Very cute, eh?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now this look is peeerfect for early June, because we got sunshine during the day,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">but when nighttime comes it might get a little chilly. So a light, airy cardigan is a must-have to roll up inside your purse.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So then I was on a little shopping spree this past week, and found the perfect dupe for this look! I usually don't like floral prints too much, because they're either too tacky looking or too grandma-ish, but this dress I found at F21 was completely adorable to pass up.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(can't find the dress on the F21 website- shame.)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So if you haven't done so, spend some time looking for your perfect summer dress.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They are so versatile- wear it to a casual luncheon with some embellished flats, a sweet date with some wedges, or throw on a leather bomber jacket and killer heels for a night out!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sweet meets sassy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They include: </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Reese Witherspoon</b> (completely adorable and respectable because she's got a good head on her shoulders,) model <b>Lily Donaldson</b>, <b>Kim Kardashian</b> (although she earns her money out of her scary ass booty,) <b>Kate Beckinsale</b> (didn't fall for Josh Hartnett OR Ben Affleck but for <i>this </i>girl when I watched <i>Pearl Harbor</i>) and <b>Cheryl Cole</b>- <u>just to name a couple from the top of my head.</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But then this list would never be complete, without <b><u>Sienna Miller.</u></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know there is- and will always be- a lot of drama and gossip about this girl, because of her love life. Quite frankly, who she dates is really out of my concern- and should never be anyone else's business either, because what I love about Sienna is her <b>chic sense of style</b> that always looks put together, and her drop dead gorgeous facial features.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Right now, I'm talking about <i>this</i> beauty:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One thing- other than her sense of fashion- that I love so much about Sienna is her <u>smile</u> that has a tendency to warm up her entire ambiance.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">One of my favorite red carpet moments of Sienna.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There's something really <i><b>easy</b></i> about her beauty style as well.

It's the kind of beauty that is <i>very contrasting to the Kardashian sisters </i>(whom you can tell spend <i>hours and hours</i> perfecting the skin, gluing on the eyelashes, etc. etc.) Although I love both styles.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">As for this look, I love it to death! I couldn't quite put my finger on the color of the dress- <b>Miranda Priestly</b> probably could- but it is gorgeous nonetheless ("purple" would not do it justice!) Then the <u>heavy gold hardware </u>on the neck. Genius!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've noticed she enjoys <i>a good red lip</i> as a beauty staple. Which makes sense, considering she keeps everything on her face fairly understated. And by the way, I love this look she wore while promoting her movie. Very <i>nautical</i>, but not in the common way you see in red and blue stripes. Love the white blouse with gold detailing- paired with semi-harem, semi-boyfriend black pants with matching gold detailing. The otherwise boring look was put up a notch with some funky shoes.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">There is something about this look (very commonly worn by Sienna) that is so <b><i>approachable</i></b> because anyone could re-create it! <i>Gray skinnies?</i> check. <i>Basic black flats?</i> check. <i>Basic black jacket?</i> check. <i>A colored v-neck? </i>check. Just add a <u>unique scarf and some vintage jewelry</u> peeping behind the scarf to make this look so- <i>lovely</i>. Ready for school?

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the other hand this look is perfect for a <u>classy date</u> with the special someone. Pair a neutral blush-colored blouse with matching shorts. Pair on tights if it's a chilly night, and some neutral colored heels as well. A fur jacket along the same color code is going to add so much to the outfit, <u>but leave the accent on the leopard print clutch. </u>Who said leopard was too intimidating for men? Then Sienna added her own style to this outfit, with some dainty gold jewelry and of course, a classic red lip.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I gasped when I first saw this look. I remembering nudging my friend beside me and saying, <b>"I NEED A RED CAPE!" </b>Never found the perfect one like hers, unfortunately, but this look is definitely one of my favorite Sienna moments. A leopard print dress (as it looks like) with black tights with black boots, all covered neat and sweet under a striking red cape that <u>screams Little Red Riding Hood. </u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And there it is again...<i>her hair...her skin...her smile</i>...

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another classic street style. Sienna loves skinnes, and basic t-shirts with basic cardis and jackets. But pay attention to the <i><b>details</b></i> in this outfit that make it so <i>not </i>basic. The ankle booties? Very unique and very chic. Then the brown leather belt somehow goes so well with the sunnies, and then the scarf adds something extra too. It's all in the subtle details...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another <b>major cape moment</b> for Sienna... This outfit is brilliant for the<u> airport</u>- like where Sienna wore it- because it hides a lot. Just throw on some comfortable jeans and flat ankle booties like Sienna, with your favorite statement cape. <i>Tres chic</i> in minutes! I also love the white tote, the tied-back and out of the fact hair, and even the glasses... Looks as if put together in seconds, eh? <i>Still </i>magic.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Envision a fun night out with the girls. A <u>sparkling LBD</u> paired with another classic piece- the <u>black blazer</u>. Cuffed at the sleeves would give a casual touch to the otherwise formal look. Simple yet <i>not so</i> simple?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So we all know that when spring arrives, the new "trend" (although having been "trendy" for quite a few seasons now) is to wear vivid, bright colors. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Rachel wears a simple nude sheath with a vivid orange-red jacket (love the shoulder padding) to add that magical pop-of-color. I am completely in love with the nude wedges too! This look is completely appropriate for the office too- fun yet <i>tres</i> professional.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From her <b>confident yet modest</b> attitude to her <b>killer body</b>,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">she's one of those people that just <i>shine</i> effortlessly.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

I was completely mesmerized by the dress that I decided to look up all previous collections from her, and fell in love with this year's spring RTW collection. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I know very little of the designer, but from what I saw her taste in womens clothing is in <u>feminine, simple cuts with extravagant, not-so-simple fabrics</u>.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Starting off with a simple two-piece. I absolutely love the <u>silk-and-sequin combination</u> that <i>could</i> seem too much, but surprisingly works really, <i>really</i> well. I love the waist detailing on the sequined shorts that happens to simultaneously sparkle with the cuff bracelet! Then the see-through trend is implemented in the dainty, sweet blouse. Sexy yet sweet!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ARGH!!!! I remember the first time I laid eyes on this magical number (during math class...) and screamed in pure "fashion ecstasy." I love the color (that isn't <i>too </i>Barbie pink- but a sophisticated pink) the silk fabric, the conservative cut and the sparkling waist detail (again!) <u>If <b>Audrey Hepburn</b> wore a pink version of her LBD in <b>Breakfast At Tiffany's</b>, this would be it!</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Her high, flirty ponytail added the right vintage vibe, and her choice in jewelry was impeccable, with emerald and diamond earrings that added that dainty pop of color.

From her fiery hair to her sparkling blue <b>L'Wren Scott </b>cap-sleeved gown to her emerald and diamond jewelry, Amy's look was anything but subtle.

I love the way the dress shows off Halle's amazing, toned shoulders and arms, with a nice contrast with her healthy tan. With a little help from the dainty diamonds on her ears and finger, she only needed that <u>killer confidence</u> she's so well known for (and which shows through every picture taken of her!) to make every fashion obsessed viewer want more of <i>Halle Halle and Halle</i> all night long.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I always picture Rihanna as the <u>tough girl-next-door</u>, but for this year's Grammy's she went to appeal her feminine side- and while keeping the risky style she's so well known for! I love how sexy/provocative yet feminine/glamorous she looked in this just-off-the-runway <b>Jean Paul Gaultier</b> gown. Choosing <i>white</i> was smart, especially when Rihanna's sporting <u>fire-engine red hair</u> that couldn't have looked better with the dress. I wonder how she pulls it off: <i>leaving very little to the imagination yet keeping it classy.</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am no fashion risk-taker myself, but I admire Katy because she's <i>exactly </i>the opposite. Katy Perry wore <b>Armani</b> this night, and looked <i>ethereal</i>. Have you ever heard of a <i>sexy angel</i>? I haven't- until now! I think she chose the cropped bra top and the shiny elongated skirt to flatter her figure. And then the bra top just <i>had</i> to be bedazzled with jewels and she just <i>had</i> to add those angel wings- just because it's Katy Perry and she doesn't want to go for the tradtional dress-and shoes-and-clutch bore.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Heidi looked like a goddess- no literally, in form of a statue in this gold <b>Julien Macdonald</b> gown.

Then it's <i>Heidi Klum</i>, so her amazing body just had to be a bonus contributing factor, don't you think?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My, my, the hottest reality star is here. Now, to be perfectly honest, I don't even know why Kim Kardashion keeps showing up to the GRAMMYS and the SAG AWARDS when all she has running for her is...<i>Keeping Up With the Kardashians</i>? With that said, I still love Kimmy- no really, and her entire family including Rob and Mason and the whole deal. I think sometimes she goes a little off for red carpet fashion, because she fails to dress to flatter her figure. (e.i. a strapless Marchesa gown that flows straight from bust to toe? Great for Nicole Riche but disastrous for Kim K.) She's not a stick-skinny model, so she needs a very specific kind of dress with a specific kind of cut. And a custom adjusted bust and booty size. But I think Kim <i>nailed </i>it at the Grammys with this gold <b>Kaufmanfranco</b> gown that huged every inch of her curvy body. Then there's the <i>signature hair</i> and the bronze-goddess-looking makeup and the nude pumps you never go wrong with. Good job.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I gasped both out of fear and relief when I saw this gown- AFTER I saw Rihanna's. The same designer, same collection, and ALMOST the same design. <i>phew!</i> If she had worn the same gown as Rihanna- I don't even want to think about it, it's too painful! Anyhow, I loved Nicole's version of the <b>Jean Paul Gaultier </b>gown. Of course, this multi-colored one suited Nicole's skin tone far better, and the design of it (being completely covered in the torso and peek-a-boo exposed towards the legs) fit Nicole's <u>demure and elegant style </u>far better. So, good choice! I like how she added minimal jewelry to this extravagant gown, and her golden locks were simply flawless as usual.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Selena's so young and sweet, but I'm amused and even impressed by the several red carpet looks she's been pulling off over the past couple of weeks. Not bad, not bad at all! At the Grammys Selena channeled <u>sexy yet age appropriate</u> with the- wait for it- <b>J. Mendel </b>metallic gown. The girl is not only cute but has similar taste as I! This could opt for a good mermaid moment in my book. I like how the only "skin" she's showing is a tiny bit of cleavage and her arms. And then I love the champagne and white diamond earrings.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For reference, I am talking about this wide-eyed beauty</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Olivia is without a doubt the b*tch in <i>The City</i>, but us viewers still love her out of pure jealousy of her blessed</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> mane, perfect facial features, and impeccable style. And besides, we all know reality shows (ehem <i>The Hills</i>) are scripted and fabricated- and I would like to believe so is this girl. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is also widely rumored that Olivia was the <u>real-life inspiration for the Gossip Girl persona we all love, Blair Waldorf.</u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But with that all aside, today I want to talk about her style.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Olivia is definitely no fashion risk-taker. She stays safe under<u> conventional style</u>, with flattering shades, fabrics and cuts that she must have learned from one of those fashion guide handbooks from Vogue. Nonetheless, this kind of style is right up my ally, and I love Olivia for that. We never go wrong with classy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I fell in love with Olivia in this outfit- and despised her for casually tossing that Hermes bag on the ground... Anyways, <b>business wear on steroids!</b> Notice how this black-and-white attire <u>avoids being boring</u>: the sky-high stilettos, the Victorian inspired ruffled blouse, and the cocktail ring.

I mean, it's the <u>neutral-on=neutral combination</u> too, but it comes from the <u>flair of the pants</u> and the <u>low-neck and loose bow detailing</u> of the blouse that makes this <i>so</i> Olivia. In fact this look was <b>voted by men surveyed by ELLE magazine to be the most attractive attire for a blind date.</b> You know it's good when men actually approve.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Coco Chanel herself is the inventor of this fabulous term,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">where, in essence, every girl should own a LBD of her own.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm thinking of starting the <b><u>LD Series</u></b>- the Little Dress Series, because</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the LBD is not the only LD that should exist in every girl's closet.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The term LWD has become very popular over the past few years</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(which I'm already planning a post on,)</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> and I think there are several </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">LD's that I should mention- for they are almost always fail-proof.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I want to talk about the <b><u>LND- the Little Nude Dress.</u></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Nude is a flexible color- it can range from 'creme' to 'beige.' It isn't as stark and bridal-like as white, and it delivers a soft-focus feel that doesn't draw attention to every inch of your body.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It may not be the first "LD" that comes in one's mind, but in my book, the LND is your safest bet if you're looking for <b><u>clean, simple and sexy</u></b> without being risk-ay.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can see for yourself how flattering the "nude" shade can be.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

This look-again worn by <b><u>Diane Kruger</u></b>- looked so feminine and demure with the ruffle draping. The dress also gives it a sexy edge because it's slightly see-through, but Diane kept it classy with a white bandeau-bra.

This simple long-sleeved LND was a safe choice, and I love how LC paired it with again, minimal accessories and nude caged shoes.

I adore <b><u>Rachel McAdams</u></b>. She is not only gorgeous, but she's never afraid to take fashion risks. Nonetheless, Rachel chose to go for the fail-proof LND for this look. I had to search high and low to figure out that this fabulous dress is designed by <b><u>Emanuel Ungaro</u></b>. This LND has everything a LND should have- the simplicity, the femininity, the elegance, the versatility...everything! I love how Rachel added the pop of color with her yellow satin clutch, while elongating her legs with nude peep-toe pumps. The watermelon colored lipstick brightened her face too. From head to toe, I am in loveee.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mixing seemingly clashing fabrics- a menswear denim shirt and a blue-black sequined mini, tied in with a knotted camel belt and versatile black leather ankle boots! Perhaps this landed on the best-dressed list simply because..well because it's <i>Blake Lively</i>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now sequins can be worn a little bit more casually as well. This silver sequined cardigan can take your boring white racer-back-and-skinny-jeans combo to a complete va-va-voom outfit.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I first saw this look in a magazine and gasped at this glamazon's admirable creativity!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This look was shot after Blake finished attending a big time red carpet event where she wore a tightly fitted gown and sky-high heels (which was an amazing look of its own BTW.) After the party, Blake slicked her hair back in an effortless ponytail and threw on a classic, loose white v-neck, and went for comfortable Converse/Chuck Taylors for her feet to rest. With this, she threw on a mini sequin skirt that made this after-party look simply too hot to handle! One word: genius!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Really.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Anyways, with that said, let's talk about the outfit.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

(sigh) She sported the new bra-peeking trend with a black lace bra, and put her hair down in her signature beachy waves.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And then there was the sequin blazer.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is why people who dress like Blake Lively get to have lunch with people like</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Karl Lagerfeld. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Perhaps a sequin blazer is a big fashion challenge for me- but everyone can pull off a sequin mini skirt for those glamorous night outs.
