Shabby Apple

I am excited to announce that this little blog here is now in affiliation with Shabby Apple! Yay!

Never heard of Shabby?  Here is a quick glimpse into Shabby Apple...
"Shabby Apple is a fashion company for women, by women, and of women.  We saw a need in women’s fashion that was not being met. A need to make women feel feminine and beautiful for what they wear, not what they bare. We offer flirty, stylish dresses a woman can wear just as comfortably in the office, at a family dinner, or on a date. Because serving women and families is a core value at Shabby Apple, we devote a certain percentage of our net proceeds to charitable causes serving women and children."

Shabby Apple Vintage Inspired Collections have been seen in Marie Claire, People, Glamour, Teen Vogue and Lucky Magazine.

Are you as excited as I am? If you love feminine, classic clothing you will love the charming designs of Shabby Apple. My favorite boutique collections are Academia, All That Jazz and Roamin' Holiday . Check them out! I know I will! xo

Red Carpet Recap

Some of the most adored dresses/women/men of the 2012 Academy Awards...

Michelle Williams...My favorite of the night! Longing for her pixie cut (if only I had the guts).

Jessica Chastain...love her red hair and loose wave style

Ellie Kemper...beautiful sparkle...wanting her red hair...let's talk the Mr. into it, people!

Rose Byrne...sexy & classic...great earrings

Milla Jovovich...white sparkle with red lips

Gwyneth Paltrow... chic, chic, chic, holy chic.

Cameron D...so sleek and feminine...love the ruffles!

Giuliana Rancic...love the cap sleeve with hair pulled back...elegant!

George Clooney...what a hunk. My guy of the night!

Ryan Seacrest...always adorable.

P.Diddy...always looks so put together and tidy, yes tidy.

Sorry hunnies, to me, you missed the mark...

Sacha Baron Cohen...what a meanie!

Penelope Cruz...so sexy & gorgeous but this dress is too old for her...it does fit her very well though!

Emma Stone...I love her, she's amazing and so talented but I just didn't love this choice for her at all!  Kind of boring for such a fun girl.

Rooney Mara...I love that she switched it up and wore white and quite honestly, the dress looks perfect on her. I just find the whole bust line to be a little funky.

Some of the major trends hitting the red carpet were bangs, red lips, white/neutral dresses, sparkle and side swept hair.  As you can see above, my personal favorites include lots of sparkle and neutral tones. I can't wait to try some of these trends over here...oh wait, what? I'm not made of a million dollars and have nowhere this fancy to go? What? Me? Please. ;)
