Happy Friday everyone! I'm so thrilled it's finally the weekend. Thank you for your sweet comments about my stressful week, I really appreciated it. But, now it's time for some R&R. And maybe a couple drinks later ;) Yesterday I blogged about a mustard top that I bought recently at Forever 21. I just love the color. I honestly can say that I have never worn yellow in my life. I'm not one to bring too much attention to myself, and I always thought that yellow was too "notice me." As soon as I put this top on, my mood was lifted instantly! And in my opinion, that's what clothes should do.





Yellow Top: Forever 21
Heather Grey Cami (Underneath): Forever 21
Light Grey Cardigan: Express (Last year)
Skinny Jeans: American Eagle
Shoes: Kenneth Cole Reaction (Can't. Stop. Wearing. These.)
Bag: BCBG
Long Necklace: Macy's? It's very old.
Silver Ring: Tiffany&Co


I really like the yellow and grey combo. What do you girls think? I was going to add a belt, but I like the blousy top with the skinny jeans. Plus, I enjoy eating well on the weekends so I thought i'd skip the constraints of belting it ;)

I hope everyone has had a good week. Mine has been a bit rough, but it's almost the weekend again! I just wanted to share some things I have purchased recently. And guess what readers? No black clothes in this one. It was hard, but I am very proud of myself for venturing over into the world of color.

Bright yellow flip-flops, Express obviously ;)


It looks like a dress, but is actually a flowy top with flutter sleeves. Nordstrom Rack (Michael Kors)


Mustard (finally!) top, Forever 21. I'll have to wear this in an OOTD post. It looks much better on the body than on the hanger...trust me!


My affinity for Mr. Kors is red hot these days! This was on sale at TJ Maxx. I love the buttery feel of the leather, as well as the cognac color. Great for Spring and Summer.


From Sephora: Benefit Coralista blush and MUFE HD powder. I HAD to give in. I have been dreaming about these for a long time now. The perfume is called Velvet from Victoria's Secret. My best friend wears it, and I love the scent. It's very sexy. If sexy could be bottled, than this is what it would smell like. And how beautiful is the bottle and the velvet bow?


From AllCosmeticsWholesale.com: Another MAC "Way to love" lipstick, because I finished my first tube. I'm so lucky that I happened to look at the website that very morning! They also sell Sigma products now, so I picked up an eyeshadow in "Indian Girl." It's a very pretty taupey-silver. I really like this website. Shipping is fast, and you can find so many discontinued or LE cosmetics there.

I love retail therapy.

Overall, I was fairly underwhelmed with the fashion at the Oscars this year. Many of today's brightest actresses looked...pretty...nice...perfectly fine. But no one really stood out in my mind, and certainly no one dazzled me. I've heard some commentators blame our poor economy, lamenting that Hollywood wanted to take a more subtle approach this year. I'm not entirely sure that I buy that, but either way, the red carpet has seen better days. So with that being said, here are my picks for best dressed.

Rachel Mcadams in Elie Saab. The watercolor effect is beautiful.


Kate Winslet, YSL. Glamour at its best. I especially love her hair.


Ok, I am a bit reluctant in including her. No offense to those that like Miley Cyrus, but maybe I'm just too old now? She did look very pretty in this Jenny Packham frock. In fact, I would love my wedding dress to look similar!


And my best dressed is Cameron Diaz in Oscar De La Renta. She could be the golden statue herself ;) Just lovely.

~If you would like to see a full roundup of all the oscar fashion this year, I suggest watching The Fashion Police on E! tonight at 10:00. That's what i'll be doing. They're way too brutal on that show though. Be nice Joan Rivers, just be nice!~
