The Emmys’ Red (Hot) Red Carpet

leighton and blake

So obviously the buzz on all the fashion blogs and entertainment channels today is centered on the red carpet from last night’s Emmys. I must admit, I only tune in for the pre-show to see what all the celebs are wearing and to get the scoop on who was hot and who was totally not. Why waste three hours of “I’d like to thank God and the academy” when I can Google all that shiz the next day?

And the stars didn’t disappoint. As I sat curled up on my couch, the gowns had me drooling and dreaming of the day when I would someday find somewhere (anywhere!) to flaunt a flowing, sparkling evening dress. Sadly, as I stared down at my Easy-Mac-stained sweats, I realized that I won’t be wearing anything haute couture unless I marry Hollywood royalty or strike it big myself. Oh, and somehow fit into a size 00. None of which seem too promising.

So, here’s to dreaming big and living vicariously though the smoking hot women who graced the Emmy red carpet while I sat home with a 2 liter of Diet Coke and a bag of Baked Lays. Read More »

Girl Crush: Blake Lively

blake_lively[There are some women out there that we just can’t get out of our minds. No, we aren’t switching teams - yet - but we do have some serious crushes on some pretty fierce females. These ladies are all special in their own right and we aren’t ashamed to tell the world we love them.]

I’m suffering from major Gossip Girl withdrawal.  Mainly because it means I don’t get to see the lovely Blake Lively grace the screen each week as the socialite Serena van der Woodsen. I’ll just have to Netflix Season 1 on DVD to get me through the summer months…

I’ve been crushing on Blake long before she was getting herself into trouble (while donning the most delectable duds) as Gossip Girl’s bad-girl-gone-good(ish). My crush developed when Blake played the blonde-bombshell, soccer-playing Bridget in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Back then, Blake was fresh out of high school. She was young and unknown and I found myself wanting to be her.

She’s gotten a little older and has a few new roles under her belt, but my adoration for her has not wavered.

Despite growing up in Hollywood, Blake is a good girl.  You don’t see her out partying it up or doing drugs in the bathroom, and she has yet to be arrested. Though, if Gossip Girl is any indication, she’d have one hot mugshot! The main rumors circulating about her (and there are very few) involve rivalry on the GG set. Oh, and the fact that she is rock solid with co-star boyfriend Penn Badgely. Who she is always PDAing with. And, surprisingly, it doesn’t even gross me out; I actually find it quite adorable.

Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Blake Makes Basic Look Gooood

blake_lively2001[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to. All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]

As much as I love the elaborate looks of our Monday night addiction, Gossip Girl,  there is something to be said about looks that are simple yet fabulous. Enter Blake Lively in real life. This outfit needs no accessories. It doesn’t need a flashy handbag or bright colored pumps.  It is simple, flattering… and still sexy.

Simple outfits like Blake’s let the focal point of the outfit be YOU. So many times in Hollywood (and in our own lives) we see people acting as walking, moving hangers. But like our gal pal Blake, it is so much sexier when you wear the clothes and the clothes don’t wear you.  With the season’s chain necklaces, gladiator sandals, bright colored rompers, braided headbands, and multicolor scarves it gets harder and harder to keep it classy and simple and not let the trends overpower you.

But Blake proves it’s possible…and totally chic.

So with that I bring you this week’s Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Blake Makes Basic Look Goooood. Read More »
