Need Suggestions

Since you've probably noticed, I'm not as active on updating as I'd like to. One of the reasons why is because I don't have any ideas on what kind of trend I want to do (as in a bi-weekly topic). In other words, my posts are extremely random.

There are blogs that do specials on Tuesdays or Fridays but I'm trying to be more organized and start like a weekly thing so it'll keep you from wondering when the next post is.

I did an "Item of the Day" a few weeks ago and I guess that didn't take off. So rather than waiting for my random posts, what kind of updates would you like to see as a regular basis? Any kind of posts you don't like?

I'm open to any and all suggestions so leave a comment below!

Red Carpet Look: Kate Beckinsale


It's that time of year again when natural talents get their prizes - I'm talking about the Grammy Awards! Along with prize-winning records, it comes along with prize-winning looks. This is when all the Swarovski-embellished dresses, the vivid laced long gowns, poofy dresses and other 'bizarre' or 'bedazzling' dresses or hairdos come out.

While everyone (for the most part) looked pretty and glamorous, one particular dress I loved was none other than Kate Beckinsale's Zuhair Murad creamy one shoulder dress (with a black bow accentuated) matched with black Salvatore Ferragamo pumps. Simple yet very elegant as she chose something that was completely on the neutral side, neither being too plain or eccentric.

The 37-year-old "Underworld" actress (who clearly looks younger than she is), along with host LL Cool J, presented Katy Perry's performance at the award show in this Grecian look with an updo.


Here are some ways to get her stunning look!

Kristen Bell: Pretty Chic

Kristen Bell...ah, my favorite star of the short-lived, smart series "Veronica Mars" and voice of the witty Gossip Girl, how far she's come since those days. She is currently the leading woman of the new comedy, "House of Lies, which I hope will last because it seems very promising.

Kristen, along with stars such as Julianne Hough, Damien Fahey and Cody Simpson, attended the launch of "Teens for Jeans", a campaign hosted by DoSomething.org and Aeropostale. I am in love with the loose floral blouse Kristen wore - it is so simple yet so feminine and I think the pushed-back hair gave the whole outfit a fresh look.

New Year's Eve Dress Ideas

Happy New Year! Boy, I cannot believe a year has gone by so fast already. It seemed like 2010 was just yesterday. I had a lot of ups and downs this year but I guess I cannot complain too much. One of the best things of this year was starting this blog. I finally got the courage to do something I've been wanting to for a very long time and hopefully, I've inspired some people.

I know people are all about celebrating and partying out tonight and it seems like tonight might be perfect for glitter and whatnot. What better to end the year with a little sparkle and shiny clothing for a squeaky, new year?

Item Of The Day: Leann Rimes' Hot Pink Pants

Country singer LeAnn Rimes hit the slopes with beau Eddie Cibrian in Aspen, Co., with a black denim jacket over a pair of hot pink pants tucked in black fuzz boots. I do love hot pink with black...just in a complete opposite way though. So what do we think of her hot pink pants (even though she's seldom wearing a light gray jacket)? Did she pull it off well or not?

Baby, It's Cold Outside: A Guide to Puffer Coats and Its Surroundings


It is around 20-30 degrees at this time, which is pretty high for December, considering it is normally at low 10s at this time of the year. But then again, it starts snowing in January-March so there are hardly any white Christmases! As basic trench coats are less trending as the temperature is constantly falling, it's time to think about keeping warm while being trendy and winter is all about showing off what's on the outside.

For the last few years, I have really ditched my puffer coats because I thought they made me look like a giant marshmallow and will ruin any outfit I have. Turns out I'm wrong. There are ways puffer coats can stand out with outfits. However, it's the way you wear it.

I know what you're thinking. How could a shiny, puffy, air cushion packaging-like coat be fashionable at all? What could it ever do for me, other than to keep me warm?

Update

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I know I've been MIA lately since I've had finals and had these depressing "side-effects". But I am so ready to get back on the blogging! I have missed it too much and all this time, I kept thinking about making a new post but it does take a lot of time and I want you all to know that I spend a lot of time and effort into making each post (this one, not so much) to give you only the best ideas and I'm grateful that people still have been reading my posts, even while I was away! So, thank you all for that and I promise that I will try updating more as I have a volunteer job on the side as well.
