Style Fille: Ginnifer Goodwin at the White House

2012 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner - Arrivals

Last weekend, Snow White went to the White House, and she looked spectacular…in H&M. Rememeber H&M’s Conscious Glamour Collection? Yup, Ginnifer Goodwin rocked it at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner! I loved that dress at first sight, but when it came time to buying it, I chickened out. And now I wish I hadn’t. Oh, well, good for GG!

In other news, did you know that Snow White and The Prince were dating??? Ok, fine…I’ll stop with all the Once Upon A Time geeking out, but seriously. Ginnifer Goodwin and Josh Dallas are apparently an item, and I really dig that. I think Josh is a definite improvement over that American Pie guy…don’t you think?

Anyway…what do you think of Ginnifer’s H&M dress? Share your thoughts in the comments.

What I Wore: Flow

club-monaco-maxi-skirt

Sade – Flow

…

Is it possible I could feel this cool
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I could feel this good
I could really love you the way I do

See me (Within the light)
Flowing (Take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I’m in the light)
You cover (Pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me

…

Style Fille: Lauren Conrad

lauren-conrad-pink-hair

Ok, so I probably shouldn’t admit this…but I am a big fan of Lauren Conrad’s style. The girl is always well put-together, chic, and appropriate. And by appropriate, I mean we’ve yet to see her cracked out, in a pair of stripper heels, and a negligee for an outfit…I’m looking at you, Cindy Lou.

Anyway, the point is…LC is looking cute as a button, and I love her pink-dyed hair, and that studded collar on her shirt…and sure, she wrote a book called “Fame Game”…but sometimes inspiration comes from strange places. And today that strange place is Lauren Conrad. Except she’s not a place, but a person. And this is getting too long and random, so I’m sorry. Enjoy LC’s outfit. You’re welcome.

Wishlist: Alaia Nude Lace Up Sandals

wishlist-alaia-lace-up

All I want to say to these gorgeous Alaia Nude Lace Up sandals is…come to mama! How perfect would these be for spring/summer? Really effing perfect – that’s how. IF…they weren’t so effing expensive. $1,565? That’s highway robbery if you ask me. ROBBERY! Why are you trying to rob me, Azzedine??? What did I ever do to you???

And yet still…my silly (and impractical) heart just keeps on skipping at the sight of these shoes. What’s wrong with me???

What I Wore: Childish

zara-floral-pants-pastel

As we’re bracing ourselves for wind, snow, and slush…I thought I’d share one of my recent spring looks. The pastel floral pattern of these Zara jeans reminds me of children’s clothing for some reason, but I really don’t mind. In fact, I think I really love these jeans. Childish, or not.

I also love my new minty fresh H&M sweater. The open knit is easy and light enough to wear on cool summer nights…all summer long. IF it ever shows up that is.

Hope you had a great weekend, lovelies. Now excuse me, while I go dig out my parka out of the garbage bin.

Carine Roitfeld for MAC Cosmetics

MAC-Cosmetics-Carine-Roitfeld-Makeup-Collection-Fall-Winter-2012

Huge news! Former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld is teaming up with MAC Cosmetics to launch a limited edition colour cosmetics line that’s due to land this fall!

Every time I think of Carine, I envision the dark eyeliner, and a smoky eye, which she proudly sports in the first sneak peek of the collection’s ad campaign. I don’t think I’ve been this excited about a MAC collab since Disney’s Venomous Villains collection.

What do you think of Carine + MAC? Are you inspired by her look? Share in the comments.

H&M Fashion Against AIDS 2012 Lookbook

hm-fashion-against-aids-lookbook-2-2012

In less than a week (on April 26th), H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS 2012 collection will hit the stores, and I seriously can’t wait. Full of colorful tribal prints and fun accessories, with a portion of proceeds going towards a very important cause, this collection should be on everyone’s summer must-buy list.

“Safe sex is a message that each new generation needs to hear, which is why H&M is launching its fifth Fashion Against AIDS (FAA) collection, to raise funds and create awareness about HIV/AIDS among the young.”

Do you like this year’s (fifth!) FAA collection? Which pieces are on your wishlist? Share in the comments.

Coachella Style 2012 – Weekend #1

coachella-diane-kruger-stripes

There are two Coachella weekends this year, so today’s celeb style round-up will focus on Weekend #1. I must say, comparing to the past few festivals, this year’s celeb sightings left me somewhat disappointed. The look on Pacey’s face above pretty much sums up my feelings about this year’s looks – one huge “meh”.

Apart from a few cute outfits (courtesy of Diane Kruger, Dree Hemingway, and Whitney Port), most celeb looks from Coachella 2012 were either too boring, too crazy, or plain stupid…looking. I must admit, I got zero summer outfit inspiration from this year’s Coachella-attending celebs. Zero. But perhaps you’ll feel otherwise.

Maybe the below looks from Katy Perry, Kate Bosworth, Lea Michelle, and Lauren Conrad will tickle your fancy? Yes? No? Maybe? Share in the comments.
