To-Die-For Summer Celeb Looks and A Few That Simply Make Us Want to Die
What is it about summer that makes judging celebrities’ looks a whole new kinda fun? Red carpet events often invite revealing hit-or-miss warm weather looks, while the star-studded beaches of California produce more infamous bikini pics than a season of Jersey Shore.
Budget Stylista: Maxi Dresses
In this part of the country (Chicago) It’s been hot in herre. Cue Nelly. And the last thing I have the energy to do when it’s this hot is think about an outfit that makes me look hot, but feel cool. The Maxi Dress is always the best option for a summer wardrobe — it has versatility, style, and a breeze drifting up the skirt! Bonus Points!

Baggin’ Out: Cleobella Mexicana Clutch
I took a look at my measly clutch collection the other day (I’m such an ashamed handblog blogger) and realized that everything I owned was more suited to winter. Basic black and brown leather, but nothing fun or “warm”.
In Our Makeup Bag: Korres Zea Mays Blush
In my opinion, blush is the secret ingredient to a beautiful makeup look. It instantly brightens your face and gives you a healthy, youthful appearance. My favorite blush finish has a slight shimmer, which catches the light and gives you a natural glow!
Hot or Hot Mess: Keira Knightley in Rodarte at the 2011 Jameson Empire Awards
One thing I love about being British is the word “quirky.” This word is frequently flung around as an affectionate way of saying that we dress kinda eclectically and often downright weird. It’s the word that allows us to get away with looking like our Grandmas and wearing our boyfriend’s clothes (the delightful Ms. Chung springs to mind). But being “quirky” and a little out-there doesn’t always work, no matter how willowy you are.
Celebrity Trends That Make Us Cringe
However original we’d all like to proclaim ourselves to be, celebrities are definitely influential when it comes to deciding what’s trendy and what’s not. Since we are also so critical of everything that celebrities do (and wear), it’s a given that they will often have a few not-so-trendy mishaps. Here’s to all those moments where celebrities have made us go “oh noooo” instead of “oo-la la.”
Baggin’ Out: Diane Von Furstenberg Color On The Go Tote
As a college student, I love using my summer break for traveling. When I’m grown up and living in the real world, I’ll have to pay bill after bill and probably won’t be able to afford to travel for quite a few years. So, I try to find steals and deals and jet-set as much as possible while it’s still within reach. This means roadtripping at a moment’s notice or packing for overseas in only a couple days (yes, it’s been done), and I’ve found it’s nice to have a go-to piece of luggage that I know fits my essentials and can stand up to the rough conditions of coach.

10 Trends I Hope Never Come Back
I consider myself a fashionista, a fashion enthusiast, a clothing connoisseur. I keep up with the trends using my two favorite outlets: a fashion glossy and Twitter. And when I’m walking down the street and see that glam girl rocking the maxi dress I’ve had my eye on for weeks? I’m no happy camper. But there’s one thing I consider worse — walking down the street and feeling the need to check what century I’m in because of a particularly “out there” ensemble.
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Sarah Michelle Gellar is Studded and Stunning
Sarah Michelle Gellar is finally returning to our TVs in an new CW show this fall. After ~~the most brilliant show to ever grace television~~ Buffy the Vampire Slayer ended, she was in a series of questionable movies (The Grudge, Scooby effing Doo 2), before having a child with Freddie Prinze Jr. and falling off the face of the earth.
