Get the Look: Golden Globes 2014

Last weekend of the Golden Globes, actresses and actors sported lavish gowns, handsome suits, and daring risks on the red carpet. Mom-to-be, Kerry Washington, sported her baby bump, and Jennifer Lawrence wore a Christian Dior gown that became an Internet sensation. At the end of the night, "12 Years a Slave" won best drama picture, "Frozen" won best animated film, and Amy Adams won best actress for "American Hustle." (view the rest of the awards on CNN.com).

For this article, I took some of the most iconic and daring looks and created modified versions for an everyday girl. Get the looks here!

Lupita Nyong'o


Lupita looked lovely in this coral Ralph Lauren gown. Get the look by pairing a red-orange cape tee with an orange Midi, pencil skirt! Ankle strap heels with a bit of velvet is darling and daring, and to complete the look, stick with gold accents like gold cuffs and ring set!

Amber Heard

Amber Heard was all legs in this navy, one-shoulder Atelier Versace gown. Get the look when you pair a navy drape top with an asymmetrical skirt. The more leg you show, the higher the heel, right? But instead of going with stilettos, try a pair of closed-toe Kelly&Katie Stella Pumps. To complete the look, twist your hair into a high bun or ponytail, and show off these cute pair of leaf earring cuffs!

Emma Watson

According to the Wall Street Journal Blog: Speakeasy, Emma Watson took a fashion risk when she wore this coral Christian Dior gown that opened up in the back to reveal pants (sorry the photo looks pink). Steal this look when you pair a Cami top with a peek-a-boo back and tuxedo leggings (all the rage this season). Complete the look with a pink hoodie, navy pumps, and a multi chain necklace.

Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington showed off her baby bump in a white Balenciaga ensemble. Be bold and daring when you pair a white cropped, long sleeve top with a high-waisted peplum pencil skirt and white heels with bows. White goes great with silver, so go all out in silver accent pieces like these bangles and earrings.

Until next time, loves! Ciao!

Get The Look: Teen Wolf Style

Get The Look: Teen Wolf Style
Photo Credit
**For those who have not seen episode 13 "Anchors," one: what the heck are you waiting for?! And two: there is slight possibility that I will spoil parts, so please, do not continue with this post. You have been warned!

Hey loves! Happy New Year to you all! I hope every one's break was marvelous and filled with lots of joy. And after a five month period of patiently waiting for the return of the hit fantasy and drama series, Teen Wolf, Monday night's premiere sure had us on the edge of our seats, biting our nails, and biting into a pillow to keep from screaming (well, at least I had!)

What we gathered from teasers and interviews is that this season is nothing like the others. We'll see a more in depth look at Stiles life, as well as dive into new romances. For all you Scallison fans out there, it looks as though Allisaac is going to happen. So poor Scott, right?

NOPE! With the introduction of Arden Cho's character, Kira, we immediately see a connection between Scott and the new girl.

But teen love can't compare to our troubled three and their new mission to save themselves from insanity (or worse). Stiles seems to be suffering from dyslexia and seeing words and symbols, as well as having lifelike dreams. Allison is being haunted by her dead aunt and is afraid she may become her. As for Scott, now that he's an alpha, he can't seem to control his powers.

Sure, all seems to be twisted up in Beacon Hills (as always) but there is always more! Sheriff Stilinski is going through old cases--now that he's in the know of this supernatural world. He's also struggling to solve at least one of them, before Agent McCall (yeah, he's still around) gets him "impeached!" So that means there's something out there that the Nemeton has lured, and the mystery of who turned missing girl, Malia, into a coyote. So far, there hasn't been any mention of the Kitsune just yet; however, there's still more to come!

Get The Looks!

Now I have informed you on the latest with Teen Wolf, let's get down to fashion!!

Get The Look "Teen Wolf": Allison and Lydia

Even if you're being haunted by images of your dead aunt, it's nice to have a friend that will still be there...even if you almost shoot them in the face with an arrow. Last season, I could tell Allison was morphing into a new person (in a good way) with her blowout and a touch of highlights. She was never the type to be a girly girl; however, recently I could tell that she isn't shying away from that inner princess with a dose of comfy. Steal her style by pairing a heart sweater with a skater skirt and riding boots. Allison's makeup is never over done, so try a nude lip with a hint of pink.

The one thing I loved about Lydia from the very beginning was, well, she's 5'3" and perky (only an inch taller than me!) She's always seen in heels and short skirts and dresses to add more leg length. But that was season one and two. Now Lydia has gone a different route. She continues to dress to impress while enhancing her strawberry blonde locks and pouty lips! Steal her style by pairing a denim skater skirt with a burnout T-shirt. Complete the look with suede, ankle booties and a subtle, pink lip.

Being the new girl is one thing...being the new girl while your father is the history teacher may have some embarrassing effects. Although, Kira tries to make friends with Scott and his pack, informing him, Stiles, and Allison that they're suffering from Barto, which is the Tibetan word for "in-between state" (and as Deaton confirmed, the state between life and death). Of course, Kira has caught Scott's attention, and a possible love connection shall arise. But we all know that not every new addition to Beacon Hills is unaware of supernatural happenings! My hunch, Kira may know a little more about the Kitsune than we think...

In the meantime, we can't ignore the fact that Kira has an interesting style, which I can relate to the most out of the three females. Steal her look when you pair a cropped varsity tee with a faux leather skater skirt (take note, loves! Skater skirts are still in. Stock up!) I found that combat boots with buckles seemed appropriate for Kira, as well as knee-high socks in a cranberry color. I have a hunch that Kira is indeed the Kitsune or a werefox at that, so finish off your ensemble with a fox pendent necklace!

 
What could be worse than Stiles tears (remember season 3, episode 6 "Motel California"?) Oh, I know: Stiles having horrifying nightmares!! This season, Stile's role in the show is going to be emphasized a bit, which gives us a chance to fan girl over him more! Hopefully we will learn his real name, as well as learn the history of his mother. But for now, anyone else want to give the poor boy a hug??
 
Stiles has a distinctive style: comfortable. He's always seen wearing T-shirts and jeans or cargos, so steal his look by pairing jeans, a tee, and a plaid shirt. Complete the look with a pair of sneakers. Considering Stiles believes he is suffering from what looks like dyslexia, I believe the symbols and jumbled words mean something much deeper. So finish off this ensemble with a Greek key pendant.

Oh, before I go, here's a little eye candy! Keep calm and watch Teen Wolf, loves!

Get the Fashion Week Look: Betsey Johnson

Betsey Johnson Fashion Week

Betsey Johnson is by far my favorite designer! Her designs and clothing are always fun, flirty, and wild, perfect for my eccentric attitude. Betsey Johnson's runway show was filled with animal prints, tulle gowns, statement jewelry, and gorgeous pink hair! Get the look with these kooky sets I've created!

On the Run

 This look is sporty chic with a hint of wild glam! Get the look by pairing a pair of Capri, sweatpants, a black hoodie, and a pair of Nike running shoes. Refrain from carrying around a fanny pack (seriously! Who invented those?) and place your phone and money in these adorable wrist cuffs by Victoria Secret!

Party All Nights

 
With fall right around the corner, take in the Autumn air as you're walking the school courtyard or having a blast at an outdoor party when you wear this black, maxi dress with a pair of ankle-strap ballet flats. Go all out with the accessories! Try anything with studs--like this studded belt and star cuff--rhinestones, and skulls!

Hey Little Lady

Animal prints are fun and flirty! Pair a cheetah-print, skater dress with a cropped cardigan. Statement pieces, like this geometric necklace and drop earrings, compliment the print. Be a little edgy, yet soft by wearing a pair of kitten heels and carrying around a slouchy tote.

Happy styling, loves!

Get the Fashion Week Look: Nicole Miller

Nicole Miller Spring/Summer 2014 Ready-To-Wear
The first two weeks of September hosted the Mercedes-Benz 2013 Fashion Week. With designers and models showcasing trends for the upcoming Spring/Summer season, there is no doubt that eager fashionistas will seek inspiration from these looks. Be inspired by Nicole Miller's "Ready-To-Wear" designs.

Whimsical Florals

A summer, whimsical look will have all heads turning as you strut down the street! For a youthful look, wear a floral, mid-thigh dress. Pair the dress up with a white, quilted Moto-vest and strappy heels with studs. Finish off the outfit with dangling, chain earrings and an envelope clutch.

Mysteriously Chic


Mystic and mysterious, the grudge trend promises edgy clothing and eccentric styles. Get the look in a pair of black, distressed denim  jeans and a printed T-shirt. A contrast sleeve jacket will compliment this hot style, as well as a pair of ankle-strap heels with a wild design. Keep your makeup simple, but try a bold lip color.

Baroque Maiden

Pair leather pants and a ruffle top with a baroque inspired cardigan. Finish the look off with a statement necklace, like this multi-chain necklace. If you're looking for a comfortable pair of shoes, op-out for heels and wear flats. With CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara, you can bat those lovely, maiden eyes in the presence of a handsome knight!
