We usually like to try new places, but we ended up going to <a href="http://www.bonefishgrill.com/Locator/details/louisville-kentucky" target="_blank">Bonefish</a> in a spur of the moment decision. My husband loves seafood, and Wednesdays at Bonefish mean $6 Bang Bang Shrimp (my hubby's favorite!). My husband was coming straight from work so I threw together a dressier outfit to celebrate.<br />

My husband and I celebrate birth weeks instead of just the day. This night was a date night, but we also celebrated with family at <a href="http://www.louisvillehammerheads.com/" target="_blank">Hammerheads</a>, one of Ryan's favorite local restaurants. I'm a vegetarian, but Ryan LOVES their ribs. His Dad and brother-in-law ordered them as well, and all were impressed. Lucky for me, they do have a couple of vegetarian items on their menu. I went with the Garcia Mushroom Burger, and we shared the Smoked Cheddar Grit Cake for our appetizer. If you haven't been I would suggest getting there as soon as they open to try to beat the crowds. The restaurant is not very big. It's essentially in the basement of an older home. <br />
<br />
For birth week we also tried <a href="http://www.blazepizza.com/" target="_blank">Blaze Pizza</a> one day for lunch. I loved the concept of creating your own pizza, and having it fast-fired and ready in 90 seconds. I was worried the concept seemed to good to be true, but alas we were both pleasantly surprised with the quality.<br />
<br />
We ended birth week by heading to Lexington, KY for the UK vs. Mississippi St. game. We met up with friends to tailgate before the game. The Wildcats may have lost, but it was a great game against the #1 team in the country.<br />
<br />
I think I had just as much fun celebrating "Birth Week" as Ryan did! It's always fun getting together with friends and family. What are your favorite Birthday traditions? <br />
<br />
Yours Truly,<br />

I love writing about fashion, and I promise to keep majority of my posts on topic. However, today, October 15th is pregnancy and infant loss awareness day, and I believe it is very deserving of our attention. Please keep those who have experienced loss in your thoughts and prayers. Many choose not to discuss their experience so it's quite possible you know people suffering in silence. At 7pm light a candle to join people worldwide in a wave of light.<br />

I experienced my first miscarriage in July of 2013. In April of this year I lost another baby due to an ectopic pregnancy. I know it's tough for people to know what to say, or how they can show they care. Every woman is different, but for me it's been nice to receive cards, to hear "I'm sorry", "I'm thinking of you", or "I'm praying for you". It's a lonely feeling when your loss is avoided. My best advice is to let those close to you know you're there for them. <br />

Oh my!Fall is my favorite time of year, but the temperatures haven't been cold enough to pull out all my chunky sweaters, flannel shirts, jackets, and boots. I wanted a fall look, but something to go with the high 70 degree weather. I chose a sheer blouse with a fun pleated skirt. This outfit is a perfect date night look! <br />

The game typically draws in about 35,000 fans, but attendance was a bit down this year. I always cheer for Trinity since my Dad is an alum, but I wanted to pick a neutral outfit. Both schools share a shade of green in their school colors so I opted for an army green hue. It was the perfect fall evening: family, friends, tailgating, and football.<br />

I put together an inspiration board for stacking jewelry after receiving a request from a viewer asking for tips. In the viewers words, they needed help figuring out how to wear multiple pieces of necklaces and bracelets "without looking like Mr. T" and without breaking the bank. I decided to do two articles: one with arm candy ideas, inspirations, and suggestions and one for the necklaces.<br />
<br />
First, I'm always willing to invest money in a good watch. A watch is typically the main attraction in my arm candy collection. The watches I wear most often are the boyfriend style so that's usually my widest piece. I compliment it with skinnier pieces. If I'm not wearing a watch I usually pair one wider bracelet with thinner, daintier pieces.<br />
<br />
Second: The accompanying bracelets. I tend to spend less money on bracelets. If you are looking for inexpensive places to buy jewelry I would suggest Versona, Target, or check out the junior department at Von Maur (they have surprisingly cute, on trend jewelry, at very reasonable prices). I tend to steer away from buying jewelry at H&M or Forever 21 because in my opinion the cheap prices also come with a cheap product, and you may end up with jewelry that changes color, or leaves you green.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for more versatility, for $19 a month you can sign-up for <a href="https://www.rocksbox.com/" target="_blank">RocksBox</a>.They'll have you fill out a survey to better understand your style and then they will loan you a box of jewelry to keep as long as you'd like. When you're ready for new pieces you mail it back, and they send you a new set.<br />
<br />
Brands such as Bourbon & Boweties and Alex and Ani also sell great stack-able jewelry (see images below).<br />

It has definitely been back to reality for me! Anyways, I picked up the romper featured below from Forever 21 before I left. I had searched for a long sleeve romper for months, and was pleasantly surprised to find one I liked at Forever 21 for only $27.80.<br />

The pictures below are pretty blurry. I may need to invest in a real camera soon to capture better photos. The good ole iphone pics just don't quite cut it.<br />

If you are vacationing in Destin, Seaside is a great day trip destination. It was about a 45 minute drive along the beautiful Highway 30A. The town is full of great shopping, dining, and there are picturesque views everywhere you look. You can rent bikes, get ice cream, and stroll the neighborhood streets taking in all the charm. All the buildings are pastel colors, and if you think it looks like a town out of a movie, it is! Seaside is the town where they filmed the Truman Show featuring Jim Carrey.<br />
<br />
What are your favorite beach towns? Have you vacationed along Highway 30A? <br />

Number one, there's less crowds since school is back in session. Number two, the temperatures are perfect; warm but not too hot. And number three, I can snag great deals on new clothes before I leave because everyone has summer clothes on clearance to prepare for their new Fall lineups.<br />

I always find myself running to Target for last minute toiletries, sunscreen, and other essentials before packing. Whenever, I'm in Target there's no running in and out with simply the items on my list. I go through the entire store, and somehow always end up with a cart full of items I didn't even know I needed (I often refer to this as a Target blackout). The outfit below was a result of my latest Target blackout. I found the maxi dress and tassel necklace on clearance, and the deals were too good to pass up.<br />

<i>I love this picture I took as I was walking to the beach. After snapping the photo I looked at it, and thought where did those parasailers come from, but as I looked up from my camera I noticed they were not parasailers they were butterflies. It was very fitting to see because I recently lost two family members who always loved coming to Hilton Head with us.</i> <i>I'm not saying it was them, but it was a sweet reminder.</i></div>

I recently returned home after a couple weeks of much needed travel. I loved getting time to relax and unwind with family.
Our first week of vacation was spent with my family in Hilton Head
Island, South Carolina. </div>

I love everything about the low country . . .
the Live Oak trees adorned with Resurrection Fern and Spanish Moss, the pet friendly beaches, endless bike trails, and all the beautiful views. It's become a family tradition to hire <a href="http://www.liveoac.com/" target="_blank">Live Oac</a> tour guide, Scott, to take us on boat rides around Hilton Head, the May River, and nearby locations. This year we traveled to nearby Bluffton and Palmetto Bluff.</div>

For the boat ride I chose a lightweight top and high bun to help keep me cool, and a knee length skirt to keep my skin from touching the hot leather seats. Since I was in the south I chose to bring out my preppy, southern side with my Jack Rogers monogrammed sandals. The outfit was both practical and fitting with the tropical print on the skirt matching the local scenery. </div>

Today marks the first day of Fall. To celebrate I've picked some of my favorite items for the season. To me Fall means colder temperatures, bonfires, football games, pumpkin patches, hiking trails, apple cider, vegetarian chili, and all my favorite clothes. <br />
<br />
I love getting to pull out my favorite boots and jackets. With the cooler temperatures it's the perfect time to start layering. I always feel like plaid button-downs are a staple, and they work perfectly with a vest and faux fur infinity scarf. My hands down favorite thing to wear is a cape/ poncho with skinny jeans and boots. This is my go to item, and I love the versatility of the Mango cape featured. Although my favorite shoes are boots I'm majorly lusting over these Rachel Roy ankle-strapped heels. What are your favorite fall pieces/ trends?<br />
<br />
Yours Truly,<br />

As summer is coming to an end I have already started looking forward to the fall season. I love everything about fall, and although I may not be ready to put away my summer clothes yet ( I have a couple of beach trips coming up soon), I am ready to start shoe shopping. I love shoes, but I never want to break the bank so I went out determined to find reasonable prices on my favorite looks. I found similar shoe styles to all the ones I'd been lusting over for under $100. I'd say that was a success! I hope my husband agrees.<br />
<br />
1.) <b>Oxblood Heels:</b> Those that know me know that my favorite color is red so of course I had to have a shade of red on my list. One of my favorite shades of red for the fall is oxblood. It's a darker red that would compliment many other colors in my wardrobe. These stilettos will provide a necessary pop of color into my outfits. <br />
<br />
2.) <b>Ankle Boots:</b> Last season I vowed to not buy another pair of riding boots because my closet is overloaded in that department, but I can't say no to boots so I added a flat, buckled, ankle boot to my wish list. This is the perfect pair to transition from summer to fall. These would be cute with a summer dress, and would go great with jeans as temperatures start dropping.<br />
<br />
3.) <b>Lace-up heels: </b>These suede black beauties are a fun, welcomed change to the classic black pump, and a great way to dress up a LBD (little black dress).<br />
<b><br /></b>
4.) <b>Open-toe Slingbacks: </b>The perfect shoe for fall! Since it's open-toe it will be hard to transition this shoe into the winter, but just like the ankle boots I selected these are the perfect shoes to transition from summer to fall Again, these would work well with a dress or jeans. <br />
<br />

I loved the contrast in fashion between the two awards ceremonies. The VMA's allowed stars to be a little quirkier and fun, and then the Emmy's brought the glamour and class. I always have fun watching the red carpet arrivals and judging each person on their looks as I sit at home make-up-less in a comfy and frumpy outfit from my couch. Oh the hilarity!<br />
<br />
Here's my list of the best and worst:<br />
<br />
<b>Best Dressed (Female): Lizzy Caplan</b><br />
<br />

<br />
I never want to pick a black dress as my favorite because it seems so safe, but Lizzy stole the show for me. When I first saw her the camera showed the look head on, and I thought, "Wow! She's come a long way from playing a goth girl on the hit movie, Mean Girls, to become an elegant Hollywood Showstopper!". The cut-outs and neckline on this Donna Karen gown were extremely flattering, and then . . . she started to walk away and I caught a glimpse of the back of the dress with the long white train . . . PERFECTION! Even her make-up and classic up-do were spot on.<br />
<br />
<b>Best Dressed Runner Up (Female): Sarah Hyland</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhiOyR6RF8I8AxL5h6pDoxY6YLoR3zEjyh-lvGoxClME_s4mTOppIevbtRiVbRdV-npsXDN6BBbYO9a5YqW2-HVy1dWvY0nVIPnePM2dO-JTn8_Gb_s5JYWqRTpiRiBBz_wNgpJZf7Bjs/s1600/sarahhyland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhiOyR6RF8I8AxL5h6pDoxY6YLoR3zEjyh-lvGoxClME_s4mTOppIevbtRiVbRdV-npsXDN6BBbYO9a5YqW2-HVy1dWvY0nVIPnePM2dO-JTn8_Gb_s5JYWqRTpiRiBBz_wNgpJZf7Bjs/s1600/sarahhyland.jpg" height="640" width="396" /></a></div>
<br />
Sarah also wowed from head-to-toe in Christian Siriano. Her top knot was perfect for her fun, summery look. She was right on trend in an age appropriate midriff top, and the ballgown skirt helped to keep the look more formal.<br />
<br />
<b>Worst Dressed (Female): Lena Dunham</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqEmbn_gx2U62U23zlQWmSBk48ZUm2JVqDTM_F3I1vWGRFHCUbAn2PBslt8RAqtWICFTvV_HTJ01BFsD3sEuZh-5nj-YpVhPJlcoa2j2v0iCKNqGkM_ECNZ0ndPBxCDmCtgNeamoUps1M/s1600/lena.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqEmbn_gx2U62U23zlQWmSBk48ZUm2JVqDTM_F3I1vWGRFHCUbAn2PBslt8RAqtWICFTvV_HTJ01BFsD3sEuZh-5nj-YpVhPJlcoa2j2v0iCKNqGkM_ECNZ0ndPBxCDmCtgNeamoUps1M/s1600/lena.jpg" height="640" width="442" /></a></div>
<br />
Well, my first two ladies were perfect from head-to-toe, but Lena was a disaster from head-to-toe. Her little boy bleach blonde haircut, to the school uniform looking blouse, to the can-can dancer looking skirt . . . all absolutely terrible. In fact, it honestly baffles me how nobody stopped her before she left her house to let her know that look wasn't right.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Worst Dressed Runner Up (Female): Sarah Polson</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sarah's hair and skin look wonderful, but that tulle monstrosity of a dress looks like she raided my wreath making supplies.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Best Dressed (Male): Matt Bomer</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxo3p0eajLeA7ZUZnBi64oPL_m8TtDa5Pb2cwzpveB1zS1nK8FhkXMGfKA9RDqzxhqa6dCIIwHNUJjSlOns3HkeWb76HX9wGbQKNK62g4kk9p3yPRduKPxLLQIKAxvPruf830A0Qu5Qnw/s1600/matt+bomer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxo3p0eajLeA7ZUZnBi64oPL_m8TtDa5Pb2cwzpveB1zS1nK8FhkXMGfKA9RDqzxhqa6dCIIwHNUJjSlOns3HkeWb76HX9wGbQKNK62g4kk9p3yPRduKPxLLQIKAxvPruf830A0Qu5Qnw/s1600/matt+bomer.jpg" height="640" width="396" /></a></div>
<br />
Matt's classic Tom Ford tuxedo made him a standout.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Worst Dressed (Male): Jonathan Silver Scott</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Let's just say I wasn't impressed with his underwear flashing. Moving on . . .<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Best Dressed Couple: Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT5G5EWSGUJWxY8UuFhH-fQg_u_IYo8mWzkiZnfGllBmZN_2EcoRxye-sCe1hrgtMO3aBVWvQiluenqZxVSf0ipw6RaJzMFwS1NhIGZX9tDgzqtqySqZYM543uZXkWY66RRVnOe4oLOTQ/s1600/Matthew-McConaughey-Camilla-Alves-Emmys-2014-G.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT5G5EWSGUJWxY8UuFhH-fQg_u_IYo8mWzkiZnfGllBmZN_2EcoRxye-sCe1hrgtMO3aBVWvQiluenqZxVSf0ipw6RaJzMFwS1NhIGZX9tDgzqtqySqZYM543uZXkWY66RRVnOe4oLOTQ/s1600/Matthew-McConaughey-Camilla-Alves-Emmys-2014-G.jpg" height="640" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
I loved both Camilla and Matthew's look. My only complaint is that I wish the lining on Camilla's dress was full length, and I wish their looks complimented each other better. Camilla was wearing a Zuhair Murad gown and Matthew is in Dolce & Gabbana.<br />
<br />
<b>Best Maternity Look: Hayden Panettiere </b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4KN1RfMwg_YYpyFKbZADpRsU-SKVUDf2bVIRSm2ZWQtK8J23mxUmx7HjAilQCw2mdiCueK3BPj1tzQCeKJb8DD713EMbwvmimws6IZu5IF2Z8_98j19jouzk9425V5ASG1NWKnQNXh-M/s1600/1409006696_hayden-panettiere-zoom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4KN1RfMwg_YYpyFKbZADpRsU-SKVUDf2bVIRSm2ZWQtK8J23mxUmx7HjAilQCw2mdiCueK3BPj1tzQCeKJb8DD713EMbwvmimws6IZu5IF2Z8_98j19jouzk9425V5ASG1NWKnQNXh-M/s1600/1409006696_hayden-panettiere-zoom.jpg" height="640" width="454" /></a></div>
<br />
Everyone is always talking about that maternity glow, and Hayden definitely had it. She looked radiant in her Lorena Sarbu gown. <br />
<br />
<b>Best Hair: Debra Messing</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK9zcJcnfhPhWKW42lvFTvRjmjbyJQIiyphJ_Pw5q391igJalNxpopUG4jp9-DqZDS57ldXCTvYeRqoQzkGXI_FlTRpMeX5oirnyQCtEVN7AwJgUhSongXACIYYIiznEJ71HG7baNIbE8/s1600/debra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK9zcJcnfhPhWKW42lvFTvRjmjbyJQIiyphJ_Pw5q391igJalNxpopUG4jp9-DqZDS57ldXCTvYeRqoQzkGXI_FlTRpMeX5oirnyQCtEVN7AwJgUhSongXACIYYIiznEJ71HG7baNIbE8/s1600/debra.jpg" height="640" width="396" /></a></div>
<br />
Her gorgeous red locks are an unfair advantage in this category, but aside from her genetic gift the styling was perfect as well. I loved the dramatic side part and how all her hair was swept to one side. Debra won best hair, but her overall look was beautiful as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Worst Hair: January Jones</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk_vor6vBWO40hgEC52vMoP1MZ9ywlaK0ZCIuvxzWkaoDCEwAUpL673O3CJEGKXk9uXTugX1MshIv5mmc4rhx4WyU_MiM3tzH_NML0grl2hlgGXzdzLQw0WzNZ39Tio-dXarclOdCfWN8/s1600/January-Jones+-2014-Primetime-Emmy-Awards--06-300x420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk_vor6vBWO40hgEC52vMoP1MZ9ywlaK0ZCIuvxzWkaoDCEwAUpL673O3CJEGKXk9uXTugX1MshIv5mmc4rhx4WyU_MiM3tzH_NML0grl2hlgGXzdzLQw0WzNZ39Tio-dXarclOdCfWN8/s1600/January-Jones+-2014-Primetime-Emmy-Awards--06-300x420.jpg" height="640" width="456" /></a></div>
<br />
January Jones is a classic beauty, but her hair was a hot mess. It looked like she just hopped out of the shower and had her hairdresser throw something together in the car on the way there. Her hair appeared wet, greasy, or over hair sprayed. I hardly noticed her gown because I couldn't take my eyes off her terrible hair.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>My Favorite Color of the Night: Kate Walsh</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI5_QPXhfbXjznLe76lvOgaqoPWf8d2wwYEaS6TKsG6VQ9RljW8BFvs3o7U1U-b7Pgc3fYmXe-j7FLPa1eE653RrT1j5hzAOVl5WuRaDGQtEEZPg7ZlLnBWLA5dh4CHpk77WACOCnSQbw/s1600/kate-walsh-emmys-2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI5_QPXhfbXjznLe76lvOgaqoPWf8d2wwYEaS6TKsG6VQ9RljW8BFvs3o7U1U-b7Pgc3fYmXe-j7FLPa1eE653RrT1j5hzAOVl5WuRaDGQtEEZPg7ZlLnBWLA5dh4CHpk77WACOCnSQbw/s1600/kate-walsh-emmys-2014.jpg" height="640" width="368" /></a></div>
<br />
I loved Kate's pop of yellow on the contrasting red carpet. The yellow gown suited her red hair, and was a welcomed bright hue to the evening.<br />

Unlike other awards shows this one does not have a dress code. They have an anything goes policy so you see everything from high fashion gowns to t-shirts, and sometimes the stars are wearing next to nothing. <br />
<br />
<b>Best Dressed (Female): Nicki Minaj & Beyonce (Tie)</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJ6OVIFQEhGZcExjZxkHQLRS_4LnbLCsztA5kKC727VIhICsah9sqkG-sNBaQZcCWO-9QRflw7k4xuIZAzISpmpyg8ykDmKB5X_YrB7IRoagTd_NwlpNuS_5cRCjfixt51-r0t_vukiA/s1600/nickiminaj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjJ6OVIFQEhGZcExjZxkHQLRS_4LnbLCsztA5kKC727VIhICsah9sqkG-sNBaQZcCWO-9QRflw7k4xuIZAzISpmpyg8ykDmKB5X_YrB7IRoagTd_NwlpNuS_5cRCjfixt51-r0t_vukiA/s1600/nickiminaj.jpg" height="640" width="396" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm not sure Nicki has ever looked better. I like seeing her more covered up with a more natural look than her over-the-top wigs, make-up, and more scantily clad outfits. In her short mini she manages to show off her toned legs, and promote her newest single, Anaconda. There couldn't be a more fitting time to wear the snakeskin inspired look. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Beyonce helped bring some glamour to the Red Carpet in this black lace dress by Nicholas Jebran Courture. The dress flaunted her curves perfectly, but I wish she would have picked another color besides black.<br />
<br />
<b>Best Dressed Runner Up's: Kesha and Nina Drobev</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Kesha's white gown was breathtaking. I loved the fresh white color for summer. Kesha is known for her eccentric style so I enjoyed seeing her in a more grown-up look. I thought the touch of color in her hair was a perfect way for her to still let her personality shine through.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Nina's color blocked dress with side draping looked gorgeous on her. The high ponytail was a great way to look fashionable and beat the summer heat.<br />
<br />

Talk about a disappointment! I always look forward to seeing Taylor's red carpet looks, and this one was a complete disaster. Her barely there Mary Katrantzou Resort 2015 romper <span id="intelliTXT">was way too short (camel toe alert), and even the print was ugly. The print looked like it belonged in a nursery or classroom with the alphabet on display. I'm also confused by the shoes. They're pretty, but I'm not sure plum shoes look good with bright blue. Yuck! The only thing nice I can say about her look is that her hair and make-up still looked good. </span><br />

Hair wrong, make-up wrong, outfit wrong. Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! If she wanted to do an over-sized jacket then her hair should be sleek. The jacket needs to be tailored. Menswear is in, but this menswear inspired look was not well executed.<br />

I'm giving this award to Sam due to the complete lack of good fashion from all the other males, and partly because I'm borderline obsessed with his music. He looks very dapper in his three piece suit with his perfectly coiffed hair, but it stops there. The shoes were not right at all.<br />

Austin- Justin Bieber called and he wants his look back! I'm not sure why anyone would want to steal the Biebs style, but newsflash the look doesn't look good on anyone. The drop waist pants, tall tee, and Jetson inspired jacket underwhelmed. I bet all the teeny bopper, "Mahonies" are completely disagreeing with me, but that's my two cents. I will say that the kid does have good hair. <br />

White done right! Sorry Austin, but this is how it's done! Jason looks young, fresh and stylish. His pants fit nicely and he paired his all white ensemble with a t-shirt that hits just below his hips (no tall tee here). He topped off the t-shirt with a tailored white jacket and blinged out sneakers. Jordin's dress shows off her figure with a plunging neckline and leg slit. My one suggestion for Jordin would be either shorter spanx, or less of a slit because I can see her undergarments a little. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please use the comment section below to let me know who you felt pulled off the black crop top better. I personally like Jourdan's look better. Both girls chose a high-waisted bottom, but I liked Jourdan's skirt better than Miley's pants. Miley's pants look like she raided MC Hammer's closet. The all leather ensemble seems too heavy for a summer event (sweaty mess to me). Jourdan's look was more feminine and flattered her statuesque figure. Her cute angled bob haircut suited the look perfectly. In summary, both girls are young and can pull off the midriff top, but I choose Jourdan.</div>

The above look is her 2014 outfit, and below from last year's 2013 VMA's. I much preferred last years look. I'm not sure why all these ladies feel the need to sex it up so much! I know they say sex sells, but I hate to see this from a girl with so many young fans. I guess this means I'm getting old.

I couldn't find a great image of Lucy's hair when it was down, but Lucy hosted a red carpet pre-show and she had the perfect beach waves. Her ombre gives her hair a sunkissed look, and it looked great both up and down. The first image with her hair down was her interviewing look, and the second look with the low-ponytail was when she walked the red carpet.<br />

Who were your favorites of the night? Were there any hits or misses that I forgot to include.</div>

I had a string of unfortunate events occur during the months of March-June so I went on a blog writing hiatus. Nonetheless, here's my post on the Pearls & Pumps Fashion Show: </i><br />
<br />
This past Saturday I attended the Pearls & Pumps Fashion Show at the Olmsted with my mother-in-law, Tammy, and my sister-in-law, Lauren. The event is hosted by the Baptist Health Foundation, and the proceeds support Women's Cancer Research. It's a fun event to help kick off the upcoming Derby Season. Numerous of my favorite local shops were present with booths to allow for some shopping before the show started. I browsed <a href="https://www.mosshill.net/" target="_blank">Moss Hill</a>, <a href="http://cellardoorchocolate.com/" target="_blank">Cellar Door Chocolates</a>, and <a href="http://www.jmclaughlin.com/" target="_blank">J. McLauglin's</a> before finding a cute swimsuit cover-up at <a href="http://shop.twochicksandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Two Chicks & Company</a>.<br />
<br />
After shopping we purchased raffle tickets hoping to win a day at the spa, a family fun day package, and most desirably, a trip to Colorado or Florida. Then, we grabbed some hors devours and our seat for the show. The show featured four different looks that the crowd voted on. The looks were: Derby Brunch, The Gala: A Night on the Town, At the Track, and Barbeque with Friends. The following boutiques featured a look in each category: <a href="http://www.shopboutiqueserendipity.com/" target="_blank">Boutique Serendipity</a>, <a href="http://www.clodhoppers.com/" target="_blank">Clodhoppers</a>, <a href="http://www.drinksattheplaza.com/" target="_blank">Drinks at the Plaza</a> (Derby hats), <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ShopMerciBoutique" target="_blank">Merci Boutique</a>, <a href="http://www.carlislecollection.com/" target="_blank">The Carlisle Collection</a>, <a href="http://www.jbandmeshop.com/" target="_blank">JB & Me</a>, <a href="http://www.shoprodeodrive.com/" target="_blank">Rodeo Drive Boutique</a>, <a href="http://www.vonmaur.com/" target="_blank">Von Maur</a>, and <a href="http://www.monkeesoflouisville.com/" target="_blank">Monkee's of Louisville</a>.<br />
<br />
Here were some of my favorite looks:<br />

The above looks were both from Monkee's of Louisville. In my opinion they showcased the best looks. I unfortunately didn't take pictures at the show so I had to rely on their website for pictures. I love the two looks above. The first was in the "Derby Brunch" category, and the second look was for "Barbeque with Friends". The model rocked a yellow Derby hat to complete the first look. The second look used the sash to make the dress have a neck tie collar instead of using it to cinch the dress at the waist. I personally liked the way the model wore the look better than the mannequin. It gave the dress more detail at the top turning it into more of a shift dress since it wasn't cinched at the waist. Monkee's also had a yellow dress coat featured in the show, but I was unable to find a picture on their website. It had a bow at the top and 3/4 sleeves making it perfect for Spring. I would have left the fashion show, and gone directly to their boutique to shop if my Louisville Cardinals weren't playing in round 2 of the NCAA tournament.<br />
<br />
The gown below won my vote for "The Gala: A Night on the Town" look. It's a Terani gown that can be purchased at Von Maur. It was pretty from the front, but watching the model turn to walk back down the runaway grabbed everyone's attention with the embellished back.<br />

It was a fun event, supporting a great cause. If you didn't make it out this year make sure to put it on your calendar for next year.<br />

The collection includes jewelry, bags, scarves, belts, and more. The pieces are all beautiful, but learning about the company's mission is what inspired me.<br />
<br />
The company is compromised of artisans around the world who live in improvised areas, and who were struggling to support themselves and their families. <b> Noonday started working with two artisans in Uganda and has now grown to 300 artisans in just three years. </b>This company encourages people to use your purchasing power to create change in the world.<b> </b>This company is providing artisans with a pathway out of poverty, and their work is truly beautiful! <br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite pieces from their collection:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Here's an overview of some items I'm currently craving. As the temperatures start warming up I can't help but get excited to pull out some of my old favorites, and to hopefully add some new pieces to my wardrobe as well. Feminine skirts, dresses, and accessories are always on my list, but I plan on adding some more casual items this season as well. Distressed denim will definitely be added to my wardrobe. Whether it's in full length jeans, cropped jeans, shorts, or all above I feel like this is something I will live in this season. Scalloped shorts also keep catching my eye. Last year I kept seeing the crocheted and lace shorts, but this year my prediction is that the scalloped shorts will be more on trend. I also think pastels will be my favorite colors of the season which is why I added the pale pink watch and the adorable mint green cross-body bag. The bow on the front of the bag makes a girly bag even more so, and I love it!</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Of course, there's always a need for the classic staples like a good trench coat, handbag, pair of heels, and a blazer. For fun I added an geometric print skirt, tinted mirrored sunglasses, and a ring that could be worn everyday. What are you currently craving? Are there any trends that you're lusting over? </span></div>

<b>Happy St. Patrick's Day!</b> Today's post shows how you can wear green for work and play. For work I paired a green pencil skirt with a black polka dot top, and then I finished it off with a white jacket. The look is professional, and doesn't scream St. Patty's Day. I like to be festive, but I didn't want to be too obvious about it.</div>

This weekend I went to the local St. Patrick's Day parade on Bardstown Rd. It's always one of my favorites events because they shut down the street to celebrate, and the people watching is AMAZING! You see people in kilts, green tutus, suspenders, leprechaun hats, etc. The floats all have different themes, and they toss candy and beads into the crowd as they pass. Since I'm from a city that's filled with die hard college basketball fans (UL or UK) this year there was also a lot of red and blue in the crowds of people since both teams were playing. Thankfully both local teams won so everyone was happy and celebrating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the parade I wore a kelly green blazer with a white blouse and jeans. I kept it casual and added a leopard scarf to compliment the look. Most importantly I wore flats to keep comfortable. Parking is always a challenge on Bardstown Rd., and when you have 50,000+ people in attendance it only makes it worse. Knowing I'd have to walk a lot I opted for a comfortable (and cute) pair of flats. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What did you do to celebrate? Do you have any fun St. Patrick's Day traditions? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Yours Truly, </div>

Lately, I have been obsessing over midi skirts. Midi skirts are in between a mini and maxi skirt. The lengths can vary. You may find them a few inches below the knee, or just a few inches above the ankle. My favorite midi skirt is generally a more twirl worthy type, but the bold stripes on this skirt caught my eye. I paired the skirt with a black crop top sweater, and strappy platform pumps.<br />
<br />
My earrings are from a local jewelry designer, Cindy Borders. My mother-in-law, Tammy, introduced me to her jewelry a couple years ago, and I loved it. Tammy has been helping me slowly build my collection by gifting me different pieces for special occasions. It's always a gift I love to receive!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I put together three pinch proof looks to help inspire you to find cute ways to add green to your wardrobe for St. Patrick's Day. Whether you plan on attending a St. Patty's Day parade, going to dinner with friends, or just out running errands these are easy ways to add a pop of color. I'm all for going all out and wearing shamrock headbands, green tutu's, and other accessories, but if your looking for more subdued ideas these should help. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Since kelly green is not a staple color in my wardrobe I typically shop online to find new items for the holiday. Online retailers like <a href="http://www.loft.com/" target="_blank">Loft</a>, <a href="http://www.bananarepublic.com/" target="_blank">Banana Republic</a>, and <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/" target="_blank">J. Crew</a> are my favorites. I search by color on their websites to help me quickly locate pieces I love. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! The people watching and style spotting is always my favorite part of the St. Patty's Day fun! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I'll leave you with this fun Irish blessing:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I-rish you a very nice place to live, </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I-rish God's greatest gifts he'll give. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I-rish you health, and wealth, and more-- </span></div>

This Friday we went to Ascension's Fish Fry with friends. It was finally starting to warm up so it was a welcomed change to be able to throw on a light weight jacket instead of a winter coat. I kept things simple with just a white blouse and jeans . . . a classic look.<br />
<br />
I started this fashion blog because I wanted a fun hobby to keep me from sitting in front of the tv at night. Thankfully, I have my husband's support so he agreed to take some photos for me. I felt goofy taking pics, but what's a fashion blog if you don't share your fashion.<br />

I can't help but daydream about warmer days to come after having snowstorm after snowstorm. I have been loving midi skirts so I decided to make this the staple piece in both the night and day outfit versions. My go to color for evening wear is always black, and it compliments the blush pink skirt beautifully. Although, the top is a crop top it's not meant to show off the stomach. The top should hit right at the top of the skirt to show off the waist line, and prevent the baggy look that often occurs when you try to tuck in long shirts. To add a bit of contrast I chose a leopard print Tory Burch handbag, and finished off the look with a modest strapped heel.<br />
<br />
The day version features a J Crew chambray shirt that I would tie up to shorten the length. The straw Kate Spade bag brought in some texture, and I finished the look with a pair of Jack Rogers (my favorites). I kept the jewelry simple in both versions with a neutral Kate Spade watch, and rose gold rings that are to be worn above the knuckle. To shop the looks click on the images below.<br />

Here are my high and low fashion favorites from this year.<br />
<br />
<b>Best Dressed Female</b>- This category was a tie between <b>Kate Hudson</b> and <b>Charlize Theron</b>. Both looked like Hollywood Royalty! I loved the cape on Kate's Atelier Versace dress, and she wasn't over styled with too many accessories. She kept her jewelry simple which helped keep the focus on that fabulous dress! Her hair and makeup complimented the look perfectly!<br />
<br />

When Charlize stepped on the red carpet in this stunning Dior gown my jaw literally dropped. She choose black which is a difficult color to "WOW" in, but she pulled it off. The dress hugged her curves to flaunt her hourglass figure, and the necklace provided the pop of excitement that a black dress requires. In my opinion, she's never looked better. <br />

<br />
<b>Best Dressed Honorable Mentions: Bette Midler & Portia De Rossi. </b>These two surprised me. You probably won't find them on many people's best dressed lists, but I standby my initial reactions that these two looked marvelous from head to toe.<br />

<b>Best Dressed Male- </b>This was a tough decision because I thought the men really showed their creativity steering away from the standard black tux. Nonetheless, the classic look still prevails for me so <b>Bradley Cooper</b> is my 2014 Best Dressed Male wearing Tom Ford.<br />

<b>Best Dressed Couple- Matthew Mcconaughey & Camila Alves. </b>Individually they were each remarkable, but together they were perfection! He was unrecognizable from his Dallas Buyers Club and True Detective characters, and I was thrilled to see his handsome transformation return in this Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo. Camila was statuesque in a fitted light pink Gabriela Cadena gown with side draping.<br />

<br />
Kevin's blue tuxedo was spot on. I loved the black lapel on the jacket tying in his black bow tie to the look. This is the tuxedo I wish Jason Sudeikis would have worn. Jason wore the same blue hue, but his clashed against his fiance, Oliva Wilde's, black gown because he didn't have the black lapel. If Jason wore Kevin's tux they would have been one of my best dressed couples.<br />

<br />
<b>Best Maternity Style- Olivia Wilde. </b>Again, I was wowed by a black dress. Typically, not a color to standout in a crowd, but Olivia looked flawless! Although, you can't see the detail in this picture the back of this dress was beautiful. I love Kerri Washington's style, but she underwhelmed me at this awards show. I say embrace the bump, and Olivia did!<br />

<b>Underwhelming Female- Amy Adams</b>. I wanted to love her look, but I couldn't. She was one of the ladies I was most excited to see because I heard she wanted to style herself. I thought she would take a fashion risk, but she ended up playing it way too safe. She was up for leading actress, and it was her time to shine in the spotlight. Unfortunately, she missed the mark for me. I found her dress boring, her hair flat, and nothing made her stand out.<br />

<b>Underwhelming Male- Zac Efron</b>. He's so handsome, but I feel like we see him in a black tux with a black skinny tie at every awards show. I hope he spices it up next time!<br />

<b>Best Presenter Looks: Anne Hathaway & Jennifer Gardner. </b>Neither girls were nominated, but they both selected dresses that looked incredible when they were on stage. Anne's gown sparkled in the spotlight and brought even more attention to her flawless skin. <br />

Jennifer's gown swayed beautifully as she glided across the stage
towards the microphone. It was a mediocre gown to me when I saw it
photographed on the red carpet, but watching her move in the dress
brought the gown to life. This gown would've been one of my top looks
if the top was a different cut. I thought the top half of the gown with the
spaghetti straps was a little more 90's prom gown than Oscar gown.<br />

<b>Best Jewelry- Idina Menzel.</b> She looked incredible in her Vera Wang gown, but her necklace stole the show! Her song "Let It Go" from the movie Frozen was nominated, and she brought the ice in her show stopping Chimento necklace.<br />

<b>B*@$# Stole My Look- Cate Blanchett & Sara Bareilles</b>. Cate may have improved upon the look, but I couldn't help but notice that her dress looked similar to Sara Bareilles 2014 Grammy dress. Sara's might have been a high-low dress with feathery details instead of jeweled details, but the neutral color with details dangling throughout has been done (this year nonetheless). I know most people loved it, but I wish she would have chose a more vibrant color.<br />
