How to dress: Jessica Biel

June 8, 2010June 9, 2010Leave a comment

Doesn’t it seem that once someone becomes a continual style-winner, all of their previous faux-pas are forgotten? Not everyone can be so lucky but Ms. Biel is a prime example. She has been looking better-than-ever lately! And the thing is, she has always had a gorgeous face, rockin’ body and pretty (usually) hair but she just hasn’t played it up right. She’s had a good look here, an average look there, etc. etc. Lately, the past is in the past and her stylist needs a raise. Another thing I love about her is she goes by my favorite rule & I think I made this up…

Boobs, Back or Legs. Pick one to show. Rarely show 2. Never show all 3.

CDFA Awards. Well done.

MTV Movie Awards. Demure, sexy, flattering…at the same time, who knew it was possible?

Letterman Appearance. So chic and simple.

A-Team promotion. I don’t love this dress but she looks amazzzzing.

Airport Chic.

To look cute after a workout? Ahhh the envy.

Adorable.

Meeting? Office? Wherever?

Simple/Chic. Errands. Date night.

You’ve come a long way from this JB!

How NOT to dress: Trainwreck

I do not like to comment (publicly) on the misfortune or unfortunate choices of others. Luckily, this needs no commentary.

WorstLindsay Lohan's bedazzled bellbottoms would have been best left in the past.

Feeling Dreamy

“you know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams”

I had a lovely weekend with my sweetheart. We realized we are officially old when we left the music festival early. I do believe we had heat exhaustion, but it was nice that we were on the same page…even if it was a rather lame one. Sometimes one only needs a single night away to realize the comforts of air conditioning and a clean bed or kisses from puppies and take-out.

Today it’s rainy. And it sounds like this outside…

I’m feeling dreamy and lethargic after spending 1/2 the weekend in extreme heat and the other 1/2 in extreme relaxation mode.

This would be nice…

As would this…

And wouldn’t we all love to have an office like this to get creative in? We are shifting cubes in my office and I am not looking forward to it. I try to be a person that embraces change, but sometimes it truly is hard, isn’t it? Even with the little things that aren’t of much importance…like where you sit or whom you sit by.

Oil

The freaking oil that is destroying the marshlands of Louisiana and wreaking havoc on the people there is realllllly cramping my style. For some reason, it makes me want to go back there even more. Yesterday, I stumbled upon these gorgeous photos by the fabulous Jose Villa of a honeymoon in New Orleans. It is SO chic, SO romantic…you must see for yourself!
