Gwyneth's Legs

I think this woman has the best legs ever. I want them. That's all.
O I guess I'll take her dresses too. Love the orange one for summer.

love & lace

I have been slightly preoccupied with weddings..it is probably the season, but it may be all coupled with all of the tv shows that have had weddings in them lately as well. Grey's and Private Practice both had weddings on them just this week alone. Not to mention Gossip Girl keeps talking about engagements etc. Plus I swear every other day one of my friends is getting engaged or married!
Anyway, I LOVE lace wedding dresses. Here are some of the ones I have been loving online. I actually have had one picked out for like three years. I found it in a magazine forever ago and I want to have it made if I ever get married. Haha. I don't want to post a picture because I sort of want it to be a little bit of a surprise, but I know that it's going to be lace! It's still fun to look at others though, so here are some that I love bits and pieces of.
I kind of like more subtle lace, but I love the body and the buttons.

Not sure how I feel about this "ad" but I think the dress is gorgeous.
Ellie Saab...she is one of my favorite designers this year.

I love the arms on this dress. I also love how fitted the body is.
Just love this.
I love traditional. It's so simple, but not totally plain because of the lace.
I like this because it is very different.

This looks almost old fashioned or vintage, but I love the lace detail and the arms. It kind of reminds me of my mom's wedding dress. I don't know why, but I seriously love it.
I'm obsessed with this dress. I love it, but I feel like you would have to have the skinnest arms to pull it off.

The Met Gala 2011

You know how I love to post about celebrities and fashion. I finally got another big night to post about! It's been a little while! There were a lot of different looks for this night so it was kind of more fun. It was a little hard to spread it out between likes, worst, and best. I almost just wanted to do what I liked and didn't like, but I went with what I normally do! Tell me what you think!

Jennifer Lopez
I didn't really like this. Fashion Police was in love with it. I love how she has been looking lately on American Idol, etc, but I think the little shrug/whatever thing was too much or something. I don't know. I just didn't love it. Red is great on her though.
Emma Stone
I loved this. I think she has been picking the cutest things this year. She looks so good in it too. Fits her so well. It's a little bit of a random print, but I really like it.
Iman
Absolutely love. How many people other than her could pull this off? Maybe Heidi Klum. But if you can, then do it! She looks amazing. And you all know how I love sequins and gold. She's gorgeous.
Kate Hudson
I thought she looked pretty. Not fabulous, but good. Her and Jessica Alba (see below) who are both pregnant, looked so similar though which I thought was kind of weird. They both wore the same color.
Kristen Stewart
I think she looks better than she usually does at big events, but she always wears the same kind of thing. I thought she looked pretty though.
Fergie and Josh
They look good together and the dress is pretty. Also I liked that she didn't do something crazy and weird for this event, but I still don't think it's my favorite thing ever. It almost reminds me of like a wedding dress almost or something.
Jay-Z and Beyonce
Not my favorite. For either of them. I think I would like it if it didn't go all the way up her neck.
Blake Lively
This was one that I could not decide about. I think she looks so pretty overall. I still like her hair better blonde though. Not a huge fan of the red she put in it. I really like the top of the dress. I don't know how I feel about the goddess wrap part. She makes everything look good though.
Rihanna
I feel like she has been struggling this year. Every dress she has worn this year is a see-throughish one. And her hair is out of control. This dress is actually way better than her other ones this year. The lace is so pretty. Down below on the second picture the train down the side is gorgeous, but I don't like the other side where it looks like it is straight skin. I don't know if you can really see it. But I just hate her hair.
Worsts

Madonna
I sometimes wish she would just realize she is old. lol. Actually this dress isn't bad in that department, but I think it's not pretty. I don't like the weird stars on it and I don't love the material. At least she is covered. That's why it is on my worsts, but it's not the most terrible.
Michelle Williams
I hate to put her on this list, and actually the dress isn't horrible, but why would you wear something so casual and plain to the Met Gala? That's why she is on this list.
Christina Rici
She looks like she's doing Casper, the sequel! It looks like a spiderweb or something. It's too much. It could be kind of cool, but it's just not really working.
Miranda Kerr
O Miranda, I usually love you. But this is just a little weird to me. It looks like you're in a ballet costume!
Serena Williams
Barf. #1 That hat is terrible. You're not at the royal wedding, and that hat would be a disgrace there anyway. #2 As Kelly said on Fashion Police, is this big birds wedding? #3 You just made yourself look bigger than you already are..
So bad all the way around.
My worst for the night.
Bests

Jessica Alba
This is the dress that looks similar to Kate Husdon's. You sort of have to put them next to each other, but Jessica's was so much cuter. I liked the material a lot better and she just looks cuter overall. Such a cute prego dress. I think this color just looks better on her.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I just love this dress on her. I think it makes her look really good and it fits perfectly. I really like that way she did her hair with the dress too.
Giesle
I don't have anything to say. The picture speaks for itself. She's Gisele and she looks amazing.
Taylor Swift
I really liked this dress. It's totally different than what she normally wears and I loved the color. I would totally wear this dress if I had something fun to go to.

Kate Middleton

To be honest, I really didn't care about the "Royal Wedding" and I didn't watch it, but I loved these pictures of her. I thought her dress was really pretty.

Ridiculous Love

I went to my friend's bridal shower tonight and have a few weddings to go to over the next few weeks. It's wedding season after all. But it made me think. I'm so happy for my friends. They are so in love and happy to be getting married. None of this nervous business or flakiness, etc. The guy almost seems more excited than her even, which is just so refreshing to see. It just makes me smile. It's nice to see that. Makes me still have hope that it will happen for me and that I'll find someone that loves me more than anything :)
I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love.

something blue

One designer's take on something blue...sorry I couldn't find who the designer was.

I love this idea though. So pretty and fun.

dresses grow in trees?

Just can't get enough of this site.
As my roommate says, "I'm convinced I haven't gotten married yet because this site wasn't ready yet."
I love these images promoting their dresses. Found here BHLDN

dream outfit

As you can probably tell from my previous post, the rain has turned to snow...:( Today I am sitting in my office wrapped in a blanket wearing jeans, boots, a hat, and a hoodie. It's April 8th. While I realize that I live in Utah, I am still a California girl at heart. I would just so much rather have it be like last Friday, which was a wonderful sunny and 72 degree day. I would also rather be wearing this lovely outfit below.
Mara Hoffman Grand Coast Cover Up at Anthropologie.
Rosa Cha Swim at Shopbop.
Beaded Waves Sandals at Anthropologie.

Here is the dress as a whole outfit.
I also love it with these wedges from anthro :)

casade

another staircase for me to obsess over. i don't know why i love these so much.

Olivia Palermo

While she may not be America's Sweetheart, she definitely is one of it's newest fashion icons. I'd happily steal her wardrobe any day. You may remember my list of "chick crushes" a while back...I couldn't put her on the list because she isn't exactly so pretty in the inside, but I do think she is very pretty on the outside...and like I said, love her style. So I'm doing a little post about her because I can't get over her cute clothes and the way she puts them together. I don't think anyone can fault her on that. I also love the necklace collection that she designed.
