Best Dressed: Coachella

Coachella! It was amazing. Did you watch? What acts were your favorite? This outdoor event brought in people in the hundreds--including some of my favorite fashionistas. Alexa Chung, Kate Bosworth, Ashley Greene, and others came out to show their boho-inspired style.

How To: Wear Red

Moulin Rouge!, with its music and clothes, was a roller coaster of a movie. Nicole shimmered in red lipstick. Ewan sang his heart out for the girl he loved. Moulin Rouge! is one of my favorite movies [of all time]. And what kind of Moulin Rouge fan would I be if I didn't love the color red?

Red is a great color for all skin tones. It just has to be worn properly. And that's what I'm going to talk about.

A bright, vibrant red looks [truly, utterly, and completely] amazing on girls with dark hair and olive to dark skin. The bright color contrast beautifully against the dark color of the hair and brings out the rosy color in olive to dark skin.

It almost works like a blush. A bright, true red can look amazing on a girl with rosy to pale skin. But a problem that often occurs when red is worn too close to the face is it will make a girl with red undertones in her skin look ever redder. [istant sunburn]

Like shown on Vanessa. The red makes her complection warmer and the neutral bottom half don't distract from her bold statement. This outfit would look amazing for school or even a date.

Her outfit is minimal and she doesn't have too many accesories. If you are  wearing such a bold color next to your face a bold neckalce is unneccesay. A simple gold chain would suffice. Don't go over board. Bold colors can stand alone.

Another way to wear red without going quite as bold is wearin accesories. Red shoes. Red bags. Red bangles. They make a statement without going over-board.

Whitney looks adorable with her fun, flower shoes, polka-dot skirt, and dark shirt. Again, the red color does not need any competition and she kept her outfit simple and clean. Any color can be used to make a bold statement with the shoe.

I love wearing my dark wash skinnie, a navy blue tank, and my purple converse. Make shoes the center of attention rather than the accesorie. [in other words: let your shoes be the bride rather than the supportive friend who helps make the outfit flow effortlessly.]

A lady in red. Yes, we know the song. I've sung it many times. But a simple way to be a lady in red without looking like a huge, red balloon, is to make it a slightly muted red. It still makes a huge impact but it does look like you're wearing a dress right out of a Crayola box.

Plus, a muted red or even a maroon tends to more flattering on blondes and red-heads. Don't belive the myth that red-heads can't wear red. It doesn't look trashy or clashy [nince rhyming skills, huh?] if done with the right color.

Brown accesories are also a nice [and slightly more casual] approach to styling your outfit. Black and red is a harsh color combonation and looks amazing but the brown is softer. And a safter route.

I hope you enjoyed my tips and tricks on how to wear red. Comment. Then follow on Facebook or thorough GFC! :D Thank you!

Please Stand Up!

Hey, today I'm going to be talking about something more important than fashion or makeup. Something that's more important than the perfect Christian Louboutin heels? I know it sounds crazy but its a cause that is very, very close to my heart.

It's cancer.

I know that a lot of people don't like talking about the 'C' word but it is an important to talk about. It's not something you can just dust under the rug and hope that it goes away. How can the back crawl? [yeah. that sentence makes about as much sense as ignoring the problem.]

My mom was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago. She caught it early and her recovery was relatively quick. I don't think I understood the entire situation. It was just too much to handle that I didn't realize the magnitude of everything until after it was over.

Not to say that it actually is over. My mom has to go in to makeup sure the cancer doesn't return. But I am really supportive of a program called Stand Up to Cancer. If you want to stand up to cancer tune in to Fox, CBS, ABC, E!, NBC, and countless other channels on September 10th.

The odds of getting cancer for women in their lifetime is 1 in 3. While the odds of tripping while texting is 1 in 10. The odds are astounding.

See stars like Dakota Fanning, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron [his part in the PSA is so funny!], Kristen Bell, and Logan Lermen as they try illustrate the odds. It really makes the message hit home. And I find myself watching it over and over again. Something that they said really left an impression on me.

"It's up to us to change the odds. For our generation. For the ones we love. For our future. If you don't like the odds stand up. Stand up to cancer."

100% of the donations will go to collaborative cancer research. This money will help young children unable to drive yet. And men and women with children at home. This money is for those who have cancer in their mouths, lungs, breasts, everywhere.

One day a loved one [maybe your friend, your child, your sibling] might get cancer and do you want to look back and say that you didn't do your part? I'm not saying this will cure cancer but it can help. Every dollar helps. And your dollar might be that dollar that makes a difference.

I don't want to guilt you into giving away your money. Honestly I don't. But I just want to make people aware. If you can't donate your money maybe donate your time. Relay for Life is another amazing cancer research fundraiser that I've participated in. It doesn't cost you any money but it makes you feel like you're making a difference.

Please. Stand up to cancer. :)

The Queen of Prints

Is there any question that Diane von Furstenberg is an amazing designer? Well, there isn't any in my mind. I love this woman's line. Plus I've seen her talk on TV and I just love her sense of humor. Can you imagine my excitment when Whitney off The City went to work for DVF?

Here's a quick look at who is wearing DVF and why Diane is able to make prints look stunning on any woman. :) <3

Vanessa Hudgens' floral print skirt works because she pairs it with a simple black tank and grey cardigan. The skirt is able to take center stage, as it should, and her entire ensamble is pleasant to the eye. Its not overwhelming but the skirt helps pump up the volume just enough for a stroll through the streets.

Doesn't Debra just look stunning in that blue-green color. It works so well with her bright hair and pale skin. Upon closer inspection a small print covers the entire fabric. The simple cut is very DVF. But it still makes me, as an observer, stop and stare. There's something about the dress that draws the eye. Is there any reason why I love DVF?

Bold. Bright. Beautiful. The yellow adds much needed volume to this simple cut dress. The bold contrast between the black and white and yellow draw the eye closer. The unique and almost paint-spattered inspired print is just stunning, don't you think? Sienna's tights and shoes mute down the drama of the dress without looking awkward or strange. Its a lovely piece that I'm absolutely in love with.

Looking at all these lovely ladies in DVF makes me want to own her stuff even more! Sigh. :) She is just so much fun. Nothing much to report about my life, in the shopping arena or otherwise. I'm been just sitting around the house lately.

Oh, and question. Do you like the way my blog looks now? Or do you perfer its original layout? Please comment below!! :)

Part Dos

Yum....I can smell the spaghettie sauce from my room. :) My mom's cooking right now and it smells soooo good. I can't wait!

Just a quick blog post before I go eat. I didn't run yesterday when our tennis match was cancelled. I was a little lazy/ I had to study for my math test. I wish I could go back to the time when math actually meant numbers. :/ Oh, well. My math teacher is super cool. He lets us turn in late assignments for full credit and only expects us to do like four to ten problems a night. And not super long problems either!

How cool is that? I really like my math teacher this year. :)

Here's Vanessa Hudgens with her Balenciaga Part Time Bag. I like these posts because they show how versitile one piece of clothing is. :) Enjoy!

I am obssesed with the song Hey, Soul Sister by Train. Its sooo good. :) "Hey, Soul Sister. Aint that Mister, Mister on the radio. On the Stereo. The you move ain't fair, ya know." <---That's me singing. Btw. ;) Hahaha.

My friend Maddy intorduced me this song. Just like I introduced her to Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Friendship is all about give and take, right? Have a great night/day. Peace out! :)
