SEEING RED

Or Maroon. Or Burgundy. Or Masala as Pantone will say, depends on the lighting really. Lately I've gotten into the habit of planning outfit mood boards when I have a fancy occasion coming up. For the evening reception part of this wedding I was thinking red, midi length, body hugging, long sleeved or off the shoulder. Then the hunt for this perfect dress begun in earnest.

What I was hunting for.

PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE - The Met Gala 2013

JLaw photobombs SJP while Lena Dunham and Marion Cotillard smilingly look on! Epic, right?
Alright, I hope that gif makes me forgiven for taking 2 days longer to put this up than I promised. At some point during the week, I gave with ever coming up with a comprehensive post about this year's Met Red Carpet!I had no thread to carry the post through and short of a slideshow y'all would just give up with scrolling! So I gave up! Just like most of these guys did with sticking to the Punk rock theme. So I decided to make this post about those that might have nailed it...and the one that really really didn't read the memo.
Best Dressed from left: Hailee, Miley, Nina, SJP

SJP obviously has years of insider fashion knowledge on the rest so she really brung it! Carrie has on black lace panties that she wasn't afraid to float for the paps! And the head piece and tartan thigh highs? I die! (*I like how pint-sized she looks "next" to the rest*)
Loved Hailee's age appropriate dress and how she brought the punk in the detailing; those are safety pin starburst on white leather! Mind blown? Thought so.
I have newly appointed myself chairperson of the edgy Miley fan club (membership:1) so its no surprise that I am loving this figure hugging floor length fishnet gown!
I would have loved Nina's drew even more if it wasn't an obvious black...like blood red maybe! Like KStew's pant/jumpsuit. Black just seems so easy, you know?
The Vamp Babes: I'm adding JT's wifey because her look is so very similar to Nina's and yet I wouldn't change a thing. Not even the fake nose ring! This is stunning! KStew's hippy pants, not so much.

Bey looked exactly like someone worth gazillions of dollars and friends in high fashion would look i.e. custom made everything!

TBH Blake didn't really bring it but she deserves some props for choosing to showcase only the boobs (even if there this close to a wardrobe malfunction) and keeping the legs under wraps.

And if it were punk for the sake of punk, the original Material Girl wins hands down! Love the black bob too. It's my fervent prayer that I'll at the very least look HALF as good when I'm fifty!

And because I already confessed to being eternally biased (seriously, I'd be the worst reality competition judge), Solange made my best dressed list even though I don't really see that much punk rock in her look (?)
Robin Williams said it all: He wore it better.

I know this is like flogging a dead horse that everyone else has also flogged and that the designer defended her and I can see how it plays right into Kim's publicity blah blah blah but seriously, this was fugly on her and rightly deserved the couch comparisons. This much print would have worked on a slimmer taller person, (like Miley maybe?) but on curvy third trimester Kim? No. Just no. Just forget you ever saw this and scroll back up to the gif of JLaw photo bombing SJP!

The Obligatory Grammys 2013 Fashion Post


Perfection, thy name is Solange.

If you think I'm going to do a best dressed post about an event Solange attended and she doesn’t come out tops you obviously don’t know her sartorial epicness, or you probably doubt the depths of my girlcrush on her! It is fathomless...Without fathom, to quote Megamind. Why do you think I put off the post until I could get a better pic of the dress than this? (And had actually watched the show for myself instead of vicarious through twitter)

Whatever was going on with her face in this pic, you can't deny she nail the natural make up look!


Homegirl delivered in a sparkly green Ralph & Russo couture gown. Other stars' stylists shoulda been taking notes. Hey Katy Perry, this is how you do green. Though Florence Welch wasn’t too bad either.



Jlo, girlfriend, this is how they leg bomb! Not that legless dress which I thought was half bodysuit and therefore spent a shameful amount of seconds thinking how your bathroom breaks would go! (Settled on Amanda in Ugly Betty method while stuck in the latex tube, right?) 

Doesn’t hurt that Solange paired that gorgeous gown with a wildass curly Fro (whoever was sitting behind her must have hated her guts!!! Hehe!) and red hot studded Loubs. If all my years as a green loving faux redhead have taught me anything, its that you can't go wrong with that combo.



*Side bar* I saw a pic of model Jourdan Dunn out partying with Rihanna this weekend in a similar pair and she looked like she had borrowed hers? She just wasn't standing/walking right in any of the pics! 

Right? Something is a little off. She looks like they pinch.

Solange had a busy last week  and yet nailed it every time! (Although that pant less white ensemble is responsible for a long debate I had with myself...I'll spare you the details, just know the pros list was longer)

She glows, doesn’t she? Marry me Solange and let's give Jules some adorbs siblings


Honorable mention. 



Kudos to Adele for not wearing black for once. I'm sure we were all thinking whats up with that!?! Sting representing for the silver foxes. This is for my friend who can’t get enough of them, you know who you are! JA
*Slow clap for Kelly* Now this is how you say "up yours" to nonsensical memos. I was watching the red carpet with a guy friend and he had to remark how they must have sawn the dress on her body because there was no room for error, any slight movement offcenter and CBS cops (or whoever they had in place to reinforce the rules)would swoop in with scarves and jackets and cover her up!

Worst dressed? There's always one, isn't there? Even if she adhered to the memo, Lisa D’Amato missed the boat by a mile!!! What is she even wearing? A milkmaid crossed with a candy cane? Does she work in Dr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium? I like her new nose though.

I like her new nose though.
Notably missing? Lady Gaga. What is the Grammy's with no egg hatchings or meat dresses??? You guys, how old is mother monster if she's already getting hip replacements? I worry for our generation!
And I'm definitely upping the ante on my yoga!

The reason 70% of viewers tuned in to Super Bowl XLVII


I hope this isn’t too late in coming. Beyonce conquered the super bowl! Complete with power outage after her performance, and holographic treatment a la Tupac at last year's Coachella, and having a stylist fly in 300 bejeweled false nails for her back up dancers (if E!news is to be believed and y’all know I consider everything Juliana Rancic says about anyone to be gossip truth if not gospel!), and the worst kept secret of the year: Destiny’s Child Reunion!!!


And she did so minus any unnecessary costume changes, although if the fuggirls’ opinion matters (which it so very much does) she ought to have changed out of that leather Borat-adjacent piece into something, anything else, because apparently the lace bits down yonder looked like *ahem* overgrowth! And now I can’t unsee it! Thank you Heather!

"She is Fieeeeerce!" (in voice of that rando ANTM commentator )
Also, you guys, Bey has been working out! Don’t think I’ve ever seen her this toned!!! Its like all the liciousness has been worked out and we are left with the lean mean performing queen Sasha Fierce!




And in other slightly related news (although its kinda blasphemous of me to let this piggy back on Beyonce’s post. I’m sorry Queen Bey, no need to excommunicate me from the Beyhive yet) in the stuff of sartorial red carpet nightmares; Jack Donaghy’s new wife wore the same dress, to the same event, in the exact same colour(!!!) as model and John Legend’s bedroom acrobatics partner Chrissy Teigen , yes she of ANTM video game enactment episode. 
Picture this if you will, Mrs. Alec Baldwin 2.0 walks the NFL red carpet on the arm of her 26years older husband, inwardly gloating at the new designer clothes now at her disposal, only to find out year younger Chrissy is a leggier version of the same turquoise dress! Jack Donaghy or no Jack Donaghy you can't tell me girlfriend didn't think for a minute her stylist was conniving with Kim Bassinger. Is this new-wife-hazing? Is her stylist just oblivious? Is Hollywood trying to give her a complex? Can you even give a yoga instructor and part time Extra! correspondent a complex??? Am I over thinking everything and it was just a disastrous coincidence?

Who wore it best? I'm going with Hilaria here because she had the better arm candy accessories although TBH Chrissy had the better dress
It was a tough one, especially since both seem to have hilarious twitter accounts! Which is no news about Chrissy, but that Jack sure is the stuff of my fantasies!
Rock on, Hilaria and go on living the life that should rightfully be mine. But you guys, in all honesty, I think I should quit my day job and become a yoga instructor, what sayeth you?
