GWEN is 41...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Gwen!! It's Gwen Stefani that is the B-day gal today. She is a shocking 41 years old!

I am only midly obsessed with her and thought I would share a few pages of my fashion journal with you.

(To preface -
She is not the only person in this journal or that might be a bit strange. She is in there a ton b/c I find her to be my favorite fashionable person probably on the planet. The other entries in my journal include other celebrities like SJP, Diane Kruger, Keira Knightly and Kate Moss. Also included are my favorite outfits, styles, patterns, eras, hairstyles and much much more. More of these entries to be included in this blog at a later date...)

These are all taken from magazine articles and photos I have found over the years. To her in honor of her amazing style and her birthday.














She has helped me out on many an occassion in which I thought I had nothing to wear. Always use your imagination with your clothes!!

Thank You GWEN for so many years of being such an amazing woman.

(p.s. I do plan to do more posting from now on. I promise!)

Academy Award Fashion 2010...

As promised, I am here to talk about my favorite outfits from the 2010 Academy Awards Red Carpet.

I thought there were quite a few fantastic looks and quite a few bombs. Wanna see the best?

carrie mulligan in prada and maggie gyllenhaal in dries van noten

Thank you ladies for pulling out all the stops and looking fantastic! Meryl Streep has never looked so refined and classy and not at all matronly. SJP, well, she and Karl Lagerfield must be pretty tight since she wears Chanel fabulously all the time. Kate Winslet's YSL gown is so wonderfully 1940's and is just what I would want to wear to a red carpet event. Carey Mulligan and Maggie Gyllenhaal look beautiful with perfect dresses to show off their figures. Diane Kruger is another repeat wearer of Chanel and pulls it off every time.

I heard many many people talking about the Givenchy worn by Zoe Saldana and I hate to admit it, but I hated it. It looked like two totally random dresses thrown together. I also want to really like Sandra Bullock's dress, but I'm so annoyed that she won over Meryl that I can't put it in my favorites category.

I'm sad that award season is over. I guess I will have to wait until next year. Darn it.

In the mean time I will continue to watch movies just as much as always!

Sarah Jessica Parker

I have a small love affair with SJP. It probably has a lot to do with someone named Carrie Bradshaw, but still Sarah Jessica Parker is amazing!

*often wears Chanel
*"Lovely" is my favorite perfume
*married to Ferris Bueller
*related to an accused Salem Witch (yes, I watched "Who Do You Think You Are?")
*has wonderful designers for friends
*seems like one of the nicest people in the business. we should be friends!
*hello... she IS Carrie Bradshaw

Yeah. Pretty cool.

And, I cannot wait for Sex and the City 2!!

award season fashion...

I love red carpet fashion. It is so glamorous, fancy, refined. Well, most of the time as there are always red carpet flops.

I really love award season fashion because it usually revolves around actors and their movies (except the stupid Grammys), but it also has to do with the dresses. I follow the Golden Globes, SAG awards, and the big cheese of them all, the Academy Awards.

I have chosen my favorite red carpet looks from the last few awards shows. [I will post a seperate one for the Oscars because, DUH!, its the best!]

GRAMMY AWARDS

katy perry in zac posen

carrie underwood in georges chakra

jennifer nettles in victoria beckham

jennifer hudson in victoria beckham

SAG AWARDS

mariska hargitay in vera wang

jennifer carpenter in paula ke

diane kruger in jason wu

GOLDEN GLOBES

january jones in lanvin

drew barrymore in atelier versace

christina hendricks in christian siriano

chloe sevigny in valentino

anna paquin in stella mccartney

cameron diaz in alexander mcqueen

These dresses are just amazing. Way to go Victoria Beckham with two dresses at the Grammys! I am especially in love with carrie underwood and drew barrymore's looks. Keep up the amazing fashion ladies.

Until the Academy Awards...
