Who made an A on the fashion exam?

I never go outside unless I look like Joan Crawford the movie star. If you want to see the girl next door, go next door.

So this blog is sorta delayed but I have been super busy lately with exams and all the business. But the Met Gala was in the recent past and all the biggest celebs showed up. I thought I would do a quick run down of those who showed up like movie stars and who... well... didnt.

Lets start with the bad ones:

Demi Moore. The dress is by Prabal Gurung. The dress isnt too bad but there is just too much going on and then it was really jacked up paired with that crazy hat thing. I looove hats as we all know but thing is not good..... not good at all

 

Christina Hendrix. The dress is by Carolina Herrera. I usually love stuff by Carolina Herrera but this is not up to par. I cant decide if it's the weird sheen the fabric has to it or maybe the really bad colors pallete. or maybe it's some combo of both. For whatever reason this is really really bad.

Christina Ricci. Dress by Zac Posen. Eh I cant really put my finger on why i dislike this dress as much as I do. It reminds me of something Lily on The Munsters would wear. It's like a Halloween costume or something... like seriously she should be carrying a broom or a cauldron or something.

Kristen Stewart. Dress by Proenza Schouler. This pattern is just ridiculous. I really dont understand how she keeps getting voted as best dressed on all these lists. This is ridiculous there is no shape or anything redeeming to it. You cant see it in this picture but this dress has a racer back but even that little surprise does not redeem this dress... like at all.

Naomi Campbell in Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. I know McQueen is known for designs like this but there is a time and place for dresses like this and this is not it. This is just a huge mistake. And that little hair piece looks like an 80's scruchie you would wear to jazzercize.

and the good ones!

Dakota Fanning. The dress is by Valentino. I think it is very princessy sorta like the dress worn by Olivia Wilde. Its also very age appropriate but still very fashionable. two thumbs up.

Ashley Greene. Dress by Donna Karan. I love love love this dress. It is so elegant. It is the perfect shape for her body and the color is just beautiful. Also she accessorizes well and lets the dress be the statement. Give the girl an A!.... I wouldn't mind a couple of A's myself

Ashley Olsen. Dress by Christin Dior. There were a lot of mixed reviews for this look, but I personally really like it. I think its very regal and elegant and chic. Yea the sleeves are alot but its a red carpet event and I feel like its appropriate and fashion foward. I like it.

Blake Lively in Chanel. I really like this dress its very Grecian like a goddess. Plus it goes amazing with her new hair color which i also love. Blake Lively is always a star.

Ok that is my run down of the Met Gala fashion. Hope you all enjoyed and happy studying!

Top 5

So I hope everyone has recovered from the royal wedding! It was beautiful yadda yadda yadda. Honestly I am sick to death of hearing about it, so if you were expecting a run down on what I liked I'm sorry but i just cant stomach that right now. I am weddinged out. So I am doing sort of a random blog about my top five things I loved during the month of April. I have seen some other bloggers do this so I'm following suit. gotta be in with the crowd.

 

1. My Mary Kay cream highlighter

- I adore this product. It is probably my favorite product that I use. Unfortunately Mary Kay has discontinued this product and I haven't found a good enough dupe. There a billion different types of highlighters though so I'm sure when I run out of this product I will find a new one. A highlighter, especially a cream highlighter, can be used for a lot of different effects. I use mine for contouring my cheekbones and nose and pulling light to the top of my brow. Below are the areas i apply my highlighter. I know it looks a little crazy but I didn't want to blend everything in cause then you couldn't see it. The brown is bronzer, pink is blush, and the lighter color is the highlighter.

2. Aussie Sun-touched Shine Hairspray

 - I really like Aussie products in general because I think they are super affordable but still work really well. I like this hair spray because it really does make your hair really shiny. I use it as a finishing hair spray because it isn't wet and it wont mess up your due.

3. Dove Hair Nourishing Oil Care Daily Treatment Conditioner

- I am totally in awe of this conditioner. It makes my hair incredibly soft and silky. I do use it everyday and it doesn't weigh my hair down like some other heavy conditioners. I also blow out my hair everyday and I have pretty frizzy coarse hair to begin with. I imagine that if you have fine hair this conditioner might be too much for you and make your hair a tad greasy. But if you have some damage like me, this is the way to go!

 

4. Lip Smackers in Vanilla

- As I mentioned in one of my previous blogs I had some issues with my lips a little while ago and the skin peeled off so now I am super careful with what I put on my lips. I like lip smackers because they don't claim to heal or soften or any of that kind of thing, its just a lubricant that smells good. Because of that it doesn't irritate my newly grown lip skin (lol) and I wear it as often as I like!

5. Jessica Simpson Fancy Love

- I already have and love Jessica Simpson Fancy and I have been wanting Fancy Love for like...ever. I love this scent sooooo much. It might be my favorite. Its a really good scent for summer and spring. Reader beware, this is a very very sweet scent. It is floral and all things sweet. There is no musk, no spice, no dusky undertone. It is just sweet. I love it and i would recommend it to everyone but I know that some people don't like things that smell so sweet BUT I DO!!!!

Ok well those are some things that I was loving this past month. I hope everyone has a good week!
