Trend Watch: Green Dresses for less

It seems to me that green is becoming the new black on the celebrity scene. Sienna Miller, Fergi, and Eva Mendes were some of the few ladies I’ve seen wearing some green. They make looking green so sexy and ofcourse because I’m a big fan of color I couldn’t resist finding some similar green dresses, for the budget fashionistas out there. So through your purses in the air like you just don’t care…lol

The first dress is from a stretch cotton fabic, that’s perfect if your busty or even have sort of an triangle shape. It contours to your figure. I found it at gojane.com for around $32.

The second one with the ruffled detail I found at Forever21.com for $27.80, more suited for a rectangular figure. But both are so pretty I encourage you to try on, ( if even online at polyvore.com) and see what’s your best fit.

Style Steal: Jennifer Hudsons Empire Dress

You know I’m always on the look out for a fashionable bargain! Jennifer Hudson was seen wearing this black empire dress on the red carpet at the Critics Cirlce Awards, and I thought it was a simple yet beautiful peice. So, i’ve compiled a list of similar items that’ll have you also looking “simply beautiful”. Also the good thing about this dress is that it’ll almost fit any body type because it drapes over the body, so whether your a size 4 or a size 14, you’ll look great!This Racer Back tank dress can be found at girlshop.com for $216

And the award goes to…

Last night was the 13th Annual Screen Actors Guild Award Ceremony held in la la land(Los Angeles, California). Of course I’m super happy because my make-believe best friend Effie, got her award (Go J Hud)! Oh, and there were some well-dressed people too…lol

I’ve chosen six (yes I know there were a lot of attendees but trust me you’re not missing much not seeing the other, so be thankful I’ve already skimmed through for you) of my favorite from the evening.

Jada Pinkett Smith was killing it in her bright pink dress and of cousre Demi Moore seems to be ahead of springs trend for bright blues as she controlled the red carpet.
I actually really like America Ferrara in this Olive dress way better than the purple one she wore to the Emmys; you can see her in all her curve-atious glory.

By the way if there are people among us out there that still get their prom dresses made( does anyone still do this? or do they run out to Nordstrom?), look to the red carpet for inspiration, there’s tons of good stuff her for all shapes and sizes.

Whats Up With Wal-Mart?

I remember back in the day when my girls and I would run into Wal-Mart for a printer, cds, lotions, candy, copy paper, pills, coal, air beds…shoot, anything. I mean anything EXCEPT clothes, they were simply too country-looking for our city-esque taste.

But, ohh la la..have you seen some of the new clothes at Wal-Mart, I remember seeing some cute ads in Vogue. But my I was so surprised, to find these lovelies that I know you lovely ladies will also appreciate.

This romantic blouse is only $12.94 and the puffy sleeve shirt is so Victorian, and I love the eggshell color as well. and its only $10.


You can dress up these dresses with a cute blazer and some pumps or strappy sandals, or dress them down to the beach with flip flops and and a cute beach tote. You know i’m all about cheapness…opps , I mean chicness and versatility!!!

Wrap It Up: Wrap dresses all around

Yesterday Alicia Keys wore this beautiful blue wrap dress to MTV’s TRL in New York City, and I thought she looked so beautiful, and it also made me want to run out a get a pretty wrap dress( what can i say , i’m jealous when it come down to fashiony stuff like dresses and shoes, can you blame me?)

The blue looks great on her skin and the complimenting blue eye make-up is really poping out. she was a lil bold to wear it with a leggings, I think a thinner leggings might have worked better, as the showing of the ankle truncates your body size and she’s already petite. But still cute!! And check out the blinging accesories! I’m looooovvvviinnnggg the ring! In the process of trying to cop my own pair right now, so if someone knows where to get one let me know before I start hammering away at home trying to get a wearable self-made peice.

Ofcourse like any fashionite should I love Diane von Furstenberg! and here are two reasons why:

julian Mini Wrap Dress $285.00 and LONA WRAP DRESS IN BLACK
