I don't care, I love it...

Hello!

I know it's been a while, but I'm still reeling about the Met Ball. They kinda chose the best theme ever don't you think? I was so into a lot of the looks from the event. The Met Gala is so fun because it's basically a fashion show where over-the-top doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. It's great and this was perfect. Here are my top picks of the night. 

Anne Hathaway in vintage Valentino

Okay can we talk about this newly blonde bombshell and how she was absolutely perfect? I love the Debbie Harry-ness of it all and that dress was smokin' hot. She just looked amazing, I was really surprised that she was so into the punk theme this year.

Alexa Chung in Erdem

Not the most punk look out of the bunch but it was her take on punk and I appreciate that. I really love the way this looks on her and she stuck to her own style, which is great.

Rooney Mara in Givenchy Haute Couture

I never can decide on pictures of her in a dress because there are always multiple things going on with her dress. This dress is killer but in a soft way just like her. It's a very girly dress but the back and the zipper detail punked it up.

Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney

So best beauty of the night goes to this babe here in my opinion. That makeup was so perfect, and the hair, oh my god. She has a lot of hair but somehow it disappeared and I was like huh? She has great face for this look. I did love the red and the no jewelry at all and the lace detail on the suit but what can you do about Stella and oversized pants? Eh. Very surprised since I half-expected her to come in a super fancy leather jacket and a ripped band shirt. 

Cara Delevingne in Burberry Prorsum

My babe in the spikes. If I can count on anyone to follow this theme correctly it's Cara. Enough said. She looked so punk pretty that I don't even know how she does it. That deep neckline with the perfect necklaces to accent it, just perfection.

Sienna Miller in Burberry Prorsum

My other babe in the spikes. Her outfit was what I was expecting to see a lot of when I first heard about the punk theme. Surprisingly, just my two Brits here decided that spikes and dresses were a good idea. And I thank God for them! I'm completely obsessed with everything about her with this look. It was slightly lazy like she just threw it on and I couldn't handle myself. The dress hung a little messy, her jacket sleeves almost went past her hands, her hair seemed not done but it was all so great. And that spiked headband oof get in, I want. Who knew Burberry could be so punk?

Some updates for you:
- I'm going home this coming weekend and I'm super stoked. I didn't get to hang out with my mom yesterday so I'm excited to see her.
- I apologize for the lack of outfit posts, I haven't had the inspiration recently. It's been hot so I've just been throwing dresses on. If you want to see what I'm up to, hit up my Instagram.
- Just saw the line-up for FYF and I am so down.
- Oh and a pretty little bird wants me to do a Great Gatsby style post. I'm still thinking about it, hopefully I can figure out how to actually do that. Fingers crossed. Smiles.
See you soon. xo

All I need is you and I...

So it is Inspiration Wednesday.

Thank goodness I can post something up for you all.

As most of you know, the Oscars were this past Sunday, which meant no studying for me but researching people's dresses and watching live feeds of the show.

Sadly, there weren't a lot of people that made my jaw drop, which is essentially a good thing since I would have gone crazy trying to choose the best dress. But I found a top three which is very good.

Michelle Williams in Louis Vuitton / Rooney Mara in Givenchy

So for my runners up, I have two ladies for you. First, Michelle Williams. I believe this woman can rock anything and I think this is her best look yet. She looks gorgeous and adorable and everything in between in her ruffled coral gown. I love the vintage-y inspired cut of the dress especially on her. I don't think anyone would have looked good in this except for her.

Next is the lovely Rooney Mara. Again with this girl and her clasped hands. I knew she was going to be in my top picks even before I saw her dress and when I found out it was white, oh my goodness. I couldn't wait to see her. This photo doesn't really do it justice. It has cut-outs on the back and just drapes beautifully. And side note: her make up is perfect.

However if I had to choose just one stunner on that night, it would be this woman, the queen:

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace

Seriously. Angelina Jolie proves that you can't go wrong with a black dress. First off, it's velvet, which is awesome. I love me a black dress but a velvet black dress? Hell yes. Also, the leg seen around the world. Love me some leg cleavage. There's just nothing wrong with this dress. The way it falls, the crumb-catcher-y neckline. It's perfect.

Also her date wasn't so bad looking either.

The king and queen.

Anyway.

Happy Leap Year.

What it takes...

Finally, Inspiration Wednesday. Smiles.

Sorry this has been on and off, but it's back today and we should be glad because I personally think it's a really good one.

We've only heard recently about her a million times because of a certain movie called The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Yes, Rooney Mara.

Rooney Mara is certainly not disappointing anyone on her The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo promotional tour. For a relative newcomer, she's been flawless on the tour with her hands always slightly clasped. And her blunt bang is a hard hairstyle to deal with, but she works it every time. All her outfits effectively convey her angular aesthetic. I fell in love with every single one. She chose to showcase the garments by wearing little to no jewelry. All her looks bring about an edginess yet she looks positively Hepburn every time, especially that last black Nina Ricci she wore to the Golden Globes. Simply amazing. It's enough to send me on bended knee to her style prowess. Um, swoon.

Oh sidenote: I made myself a Tumblr. Come check it out here. Maybe follow me. Smiles.

Love you all...

(Especially you Mikey, if you're reading this, happy birthday. Smiles.)
