Much to say about fashion...

Being in a band you can wear whatever you want - it's like an excuse for halloween everyday.

p.s. Love that houndstooth coat in the top row of pictures!

If I had a sugar daddy...

1. Carmen Marc Valvo Pleated Dress, $640, Bergdorf Goodman

... and since that isn't THAT expensive of a dress (less than a $1,000!), I would have to have the shoes, too.

2. Manolo Blahnik Leopard-Print slingback, $595, Bergdorf Goodman

I want...

... to never see a man in a skirt again.

Last weekend, I traveled to a Midwest town to partake in the delicious wine (it was Oktoberfest!) with friends and family. I was astounded when I saw this guy & girl walk by (sorry, it's fuzzy, but i was a wee bit intoxicated...).

The man is wearing a Carhartt skirt. Although he might appear to be a woman from the rear, it was really a man (and even if it was a woman, I would not want ANYBODY to wear that skirt).

What is Carhartt? Well, it's a working man's clothing. Click here to see a selection of it. AND check out the latest on Single + Cats = Sad for some fashion tips for men. Lord knows that most of them need it! Props to those who don't.

p.s. the skirt has PLEATS, i am still in shock of it all...

1. Mary-Louise Parker: I love this little dress, gold belt and her pointy-toe shoes.
2. Thandie Newton: Who knew something similar to tie-dye could look this good?!

1. Kylie Minogue: I just love this dress on her. It's fun and a bit crazy!
2. Jennifer Hudson: I don't know if she could look more perfect - i wish i had her adorable curls!
(and her voice, but I know that is not going to happen)

1. Scarlett Johansson: Of course, the dress is sensational, but i love the little burst of blue from the shoes and those fantastic earrings.
2. Cate Blanchett: This isn't a new picture, but I just love that look.

I want...

...you to check out the new links I have added to my sidebar. I try to visit these fabulous blogs daily because they are just absolutely FANTASTIC! Look at some of their oh-so-cute headers below. Thanks, ladies, for your awesomeness every day!

Life of a Valley Girl
THE DIARY OF A FABULOUS BUT NEUROTIC 20-SOMETHING FROM SILICON VALLEY

Oh, Pretty Woman

As a young girl, I was just obsessed with Julia Roberts. I loved the movie Pretty Woman. I can totally recite lines from it like nobody's business.

I know it is about a hooker, and that is not the best for a young girl's mind, but it is an a-freaking-mazing movie. I have the limited edition at home, extra-long length that includes scenes the regular movie doesn't have, and they are just part of the regular movie. It's great.

I saw this picture on InStyle.com, and I just had to post it because it because I think Julia Roberts looks so amazing with that super stylish LBD and gorgeous waves. I hope I look that good after having babies!

This might just inspire me to watch Pretty Woman tonight, but wait, The Hills is on, and I am an alumni adviser for a sorority (and their chapter meeting is tonight) so that might just take away too many hours of my night before I need to head to bed.

Natalie Portman looks oh-so-vavoom in that deep purple, but there is something off about her eyebrows that is kinda ruining it for me.

Happy Monday!

I want these boots!

I love Gossip Girl (Wednesdays, CW, 8 central), but I am usually watching it on the internet because I am obsessed with Private Practice, and they are both on TV at the same time. I do not have TiVo or DVR.

But Gossip Girl has the most amazing fashion. I saw the gray boots below on the main character Serena, and I fell in love with them. Have you seen anything more wonderful?!

Here is a link to the boots by Chinese Laundry, but I did not find any in the gray. They are not even that expensive ($99) so I am bit bummed they don't have the gray! Hold up. I checked Amazon.com, and they do have the gray for only $89, BUT they don't have the right size for my splendidly huge feet.

Happy shopping, girlys!

Make it pop with magenta!

Powerful magenta is becoming a big player in the color scene. Above, Felicity Hoffman with Desperate Housewives' costars Eva Longoria and Teri Hatcher wore this great dress to the Emmys not too long ago. I took notice of this gown, then I started seeing magenta everywhere. I think I am going to have to purchase something fun in this color.

Jennifer Garner looks sensational is this gorgeous floor-length Zac Posen, and the trendy bow on the DKNY runway and the chunky sweater on the Malandrino catwalk work this bright hue.
Of course, if you do have a sugar daddy, you could buy the hott heels below from Rene Caovilla for $1,245 (561-459-1712) and have the perfect magenta fashion statement. Yes, those are Swarovski crystals on the heels. Why would it be anything else?

If I had a sugar daddy...

love, love, love this dress.

I want this hair!

I have mentioned my love of the The Sartorialist blog, which you can find here. It's the best on-the-street fashion blog out there, and his photos seriously ROCK. One of the latest (and most commented on) is this one. Her hair is so amazing. I am definitely contemplating bringing this to my stylist to try to do the color and cut sometime soon.

Trying to find Kate's grey boots...

So many people enjoyed Kate Hudson's boots as much as I did so I scouted the e-shops to find them for you. Sadly, I did not find them, but I did find some other wonderful grey boots. (Most of these are from Nordstrom, but they had the best grey-boot selection!)

1: I think this one is as close to the style of Kate's, and they are my favorite. They lack the uber cute buttons down the side, but they are still darling with a similar toe and heel. (Steve Madden, Nordstrom, $159.95)
2. I love the fold over, the cute detailing and the look of the leather (Apepazza, Nordstrom, $289.95)
3. The mega-cool buckle makes me want these (Kenneth Cole Reaction, Nordstrom, $197.95)

Here are a few fun metallic ones I found though I have heard that podiatrists (aka feet doctor) think that Jessica Simpson's shoes are the worst possible for your feet. I can see why.
1. Jessica Simpson, Nordstrom, $188.95
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs, Nordstrom, $695 (yowsers, i wouldn't spend that much on a metallic boot!)
3. Steven by Steve Madden, Nordstrom, $199.95

Just some fun boots - love the last color-blocked ones!
1. Seychalles, Nordstrom, $169.95
2. BCBGirls, Nordstrom, $228.95
3. Kenneth Cole Reaction, Nordstrom, $198.95

These approach the look of Kate's a bit more - too bad those black ones are not in grey!

1. VANELi, Nordstrom, $192.95

2. Miz Mooz, Nordstrom, $194.95

3. (below) Dolce & Gabbana, Overstock.com, $799.99
