Met Gala 2014

My oh my! So many stars at this year's Met Gala were to die for! At most events lately, I've found myself only loving up to 5 looks. Not this time! These celebs pulled out all the stops! All of the dresses that really caught my eye had a color palet of black, white, gray (silver), and neutral. Doesn't seem like the most exciting array of colors, but when you see the gowns, you'll know why I fell for them! Here are my favorite looks from the evening...count 'em...there're 12!!

Blake Lively in Gucci Première

Lily Aldridge in Michael Kors

Rihanna in Stella McCartney

Gisele Bündchen in Balenciaga

Which is your fav?

Well, It's Official...

You know that look some folks give you when you wear white after Labor Day? Well, that's the look I'm giving deep down inside when I see or hear people trying to rush my beloved summer. Today's the day, though, that I have to embrace all the boot talk and chilled breezes. After all, it's the first day of fall.

Earlier I mentioned that this was the first year that I am actually looking forward to allowing fall layers to overwhelm my wardrobe. Here are a few key fall staples to look out for this season as you peruse your favorite shops, latte in hand.


1) Be bold with your lip color:

2) A scarf will give you infinite possibilities:

3) Find a jacket that provides enough conversation as it does warmth:

4) Remember, leather pulls everything together:

5) Try on my go to bootie for size:

Stay warm and check back for more fall wardrobe inspirations!

From the runways of Rodarte and Repossi to the street style trendsetter, ear cuffs are a Spring fashion favorite. Below, Miranda Kerr wears a Ryan Storer cuff, and Cara D. and Alicia Keys compliment their perfectly coiffed updo's with statement pieces by Repossi.

Every fashionista likes a good trend. Here are a few ways you can jump on board without breaking the bank:

River Island cuffs | ASOS, $8.48

House of Harlow 1960, $59

If your ears are pierced, there are longer, draping versions available, too. Try these from ASOS and Urban Outfitters. Also, this Samii Ryan spiked ear cuff at Nordstrom doesn't require piercing, but it'll still hang with the best of 'em!
