We saw lots of pale pinks and grey as well as a few peacock blues. Here are my votes for the best and worst dressed at the Golden Globes. The best dress are in order of my favorites. Take a look and tell me if I missed any of your favorites!
Best Dressed:

Nicole Kidman in Versace.
I can’t remember the last time she looked so amazing! She looks like a beautiful Greek statue! This shape is stunning on her, and it seems like she has stopped getting work done, which means we can see her smiling again!
Sophia Vergara in Vera Wang.
It’s not that different of a look for Sophia, but she knows what works for her curvy body type. I loved the colour and the close up red carpet shots, the bottom of the dressed looked really beautiful.

Reese Witherspoon in Zac Posen.
I don’t know what was but she was glowing last night! I’m not normally a huge fan of her on the red carpet but she looks absolutely stunning here. I especially love her make up, very subtle but enough to make an impact.

Claire Danes in J. Mendel.
She was one of the first people I saw on the red carpet and I instantly loved her dress. She always opts for something pretty classic, but the back adds an edgy twist.

Salma Hayek in Gucci.
I loved the close up shots of this dress. I liked that it was a bit different from most styles that were on the red carpet. Just when you think Salma couldn’t be more beautiful she knocks one out of the park!

Charlize Theron in Dior.
At first glance I wasn’t sure about this dress, but the more and more I saw it I grew to love it. I also loved her hair and make up. It completes the overall look perfectly.
Worst Dressed:
Most people on the red carpet played it pretty safe and looked beautiful, but unfortunately there was 2 people that didn’t quite do it for me. Here are my picks for worst dressed;

Zooey Deschanel in Prada.
I hate to say this, because I am a huge fan of Zooey’s but this dress was not flattering on her petite frame, and her hair…yikes. You can’t really tell in this photo, but in some angles, one of her layers looked like side burns…not a look you want to go for. On a brighter note, her make up looked amazing!

Angelina Jolie in Atelier Versace.
When she first hit the red carpet I didn’t mind this dress, but as the night grew on she looked uncomfortable and cold. The fabric of this dress cheapened it to me, and I did not like how thin she looked last night.
Did you enjoy the awards last night? I felt Ricky Gervais was quite safe last night…there was a few good one liners from Seth Rogan and Meryl Streep! I’m glad The Artist won a few awards, it was a great film. Michelle Williams did a great job in My Week With Marilyn so she deserved the win, even though I’m not sure why it that film was categorized as a comedy/musical…The Golden Golbes are usually a hint as to what we will see at the Oscars, so it should be interesting to see if a few of the same people bring home the win!
Best Dressed at The 2012 People’s Choice Awards

Everyone seemed to go quite tame and a little on the casual side this year. However, I was able to scrounge a few favorites, and of course my least favorites!
Best Dressed Female:

From the new series “Once Upon A Time”, Ginnifer Goodwin. Amazing hair, stunning make up, shoes are killer and that dress is bold but fits her like a glove. A+ for her!
Best Dressed Man:

Ian Somerhalder from the show “Vampire Diaries”. Had he worn a tie with the pocket square it would have been too dressy. He had the perfect amount of class for an event like this.
Worst Dressed Female:

Kelly Osbourne. Considering she’s is on E! Channel’s “Fashion Police” you’d think she would have made a little more effort. (Her Mom, however looked STUNNING!)
Worst Dressed Man:

Chris Klein. Not quite sure why he was there, but WHITE skate shoes on the red carpet? Really?! No no no!
5 Tips to keep the ladies and still have a Decem-beard
Posted: December 23, 2011 Filed under: Celebrity, Fashion in General, Fashion News, Fashion Tips, hair, Menswear | Tags: Beard, Beard styles, brad pitt, fashion facial hair, fashionable beards, how to grow a beard, How to wear a beard, johnny depp, maintain a beard, men with beards, men's style, mens fashion 1 Comment »November/Movember brought us boys with mustaches and December/Decem-beard brings us boys with beards. Ladies could be fans of either; so for my manly readers out there, I have a few tips on how to maintain a good-looking beard without looking like a hobo.
1. Long beards looks best with short hair:
2. Maintain the neck beard!
If you have a serious case of neck hair, front and back, PLEASE shape your beard. Just because you are growing one, doesn’t mean your chest hair can attach to your face hair. Ewe.
3. Short beards can have longer hair:
4. Keep your fashion in check:
If you’re thinking of wearing that giant oversized hoodie and ripped up jeans you’ve had since high school, think again. Lets be honest, no girl will give you a second look with OR without a beard. Good hair, good beard AND good fashion equals swarms of chicks!
Vs. 
5. Comb your beard:
This is for all my men with curly beards! Take 5 min in the morning and comb it out. Even add a little wax to help tame those curly strands. If you are blessed with straight facial hair, then feel free to run wild and grow a long beard! Curly beards are best kept short.
Conclusion
Whatever you do, don’t EVER, I mean EVER let your beard be the only thing people notice about your face. No girl wants to dive in for a kiss if she can’t even find your lips! If this is the case, that means it’s BAD. So don’t let that sexy face be hidden behind horrible facial hair. Example:

Gross Vs. Handsome

Most of my purse contents are self-explanatory but there are a few things I’d like to mention:
Band-Aid’s are a must have in my purse. I like to wear cute shoes, which doesn’t always equal comfort, so Band-Aid’s are a life saver!
Sephora Blotting Papers are amazing. Shiny nose no more!
Two of my favorite drug store brand lip glosses, Rimmel and L’Oréal Paris are staples in my purse. I feel naked without lip gloss on! And my secret tip: L’Oréal’s Color Juice is just like Lancômbe Jucy Tubes, but only $9!
A comb is critical for any lady with bangs, it helps them from looking greasy and separating. Plus, you never know when you’re gonna need a last-minute touch up!
So what is hiding in the deep dark corners of your purse? Would you be brave enough to show us?
Fall Color Trend: Dark Teal

Its probably one of the most universally flattering colors. Wearing dark teal eyeshadow or liner also is very flattering on brown eyes. Pair dark teal with black, gray, cream, and purples for a fun fall look!



Fall Color Trend: Mustard

This is one of my all time favorite colors; I love how it brings a pop of life to any fall outfit! If you aren’t bold enough to wear it all over, try adding mustard with your accessories. This color looks great paired with gray, black, blues, burgundy and browns.

10 Best Dressed Ladies Of The 2011 Oscar’s

Nothing really WOWED me. Everyone looks pretty and nice, but overall it seemed like simple won over on the red carpet. Here are 10 of my favorite looks of the night.
Trend 1: RED. Everyone who chose that color could do no wrong in my eyes.
Anne Hathaway won my vote for the best red dress. She looked stunning in this Valentino number. Fit her like a glove…I think her best dress of the entire night was this one on the red carpet.
Sandra Bullock looked sleek, simple and stunning!
Jennifer Hudson looked absolutely amazing! What a way to show off that new figure she has. Georgous!
Jennifer Lawrence from Winter’s Bone looks super classic and chic in this Calvin Klein dress. A little like a Baywatch babe- but stunning none-the-less.
Trend 2 – NEUTRALS. This personally was my favorite trend on the red carpet. It is a great timeless look.
Halle Berry was my favorite by a long shot. She looked angelic in this Marchesa gown.
This long sleek sheath looked great on Celine Dion’s statuesque figure. Didn’t she just have twins a few months ago? Wow.
Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit looked too adorable in her gown! This 14 year old did it right! She dressed her age yet managed to look elegant for the red carpet.
Mandy Moore looked great in this Monique Lhuillier dress. I love how you dont konw where the sequins begin and end.
Trend 3- PURPLE. Both dresses were flowy and both were worn by the lovely ladies of Black Swan.
Pregnant Natalie Portman was absolutly glowing in this Rodarte gown. The color was amazing on her and the neckline beautifully framed her face.
Mila Kunis just bareley made my list. I love the way this Elie Saab dress fits and I love the style but I’m not a super big fan of the color on her. Overall its still a win for Mila.
Who were some of your favorites of the night?
Oscar’s 2011 in Review.

Honestly that just makes us all love her that much more!
What did we think of Anne Hathaway and James Fraco as hosts? I think they did ALRIGHT; Anne was a great cheerleader and James can read a teleprompter pretty well. Did anyone else wish he would just look straight at the camera, or interact with Anne a little more? What was going on there? If you follow @jamesfranco on Twitter, you can see some behind the scenes footage and personally I think he and Anne had much more chemistry backstage then onstage. Maybe it was nerves, but I almost felt like Anne could have hosted the show on her own. Sorry James
Best speech of the night? I think that goes to Christian Bale- we got to see a softer more emotional side of him which was nice. Natalie Portman was also great and surprisingly had no case of pregnancy brain. She seemed to remember every single person who worked with her on Black Swan- quite remarkable.
Biggest letdown of the night? Gwyneth Paltrow singing from the soundtrack, Country Strong. This was a disappointment because we all saw her on The Grammy’s and guest star on Glee so we know she has the chops to sing. I’m sure its much more nerve racking singing infront of fellow actors who you’ve grown to love and respect. But, despite her off notes- at least she looked SUPER HOT throughout the night in both her red carpet dress and her performance dress.
I wonder if the Academy will be asking James and Anne back? I kind of doubt it- if anything maybe just Anne. Stay tuned for my best and worst dressed actresses of the night.
Dior’s Lady Grey London

Starring the gorgeous Marion Cotillard and the super talented Ian McKellen.
As I was captivity watching it I couldn’t help but hear a familiar voice in the soundtrack. Our favorite quirky Canadian singer/songwriter/producer Hawksley Workman! This is quite a step for him!
Enjoy
(Maybe John Galliano will pull a Tom Ford and sit in the directors chair for full length film?)

Point being, a proper fitting suit should be a closet staple. Every adult man should try wearing one now and then, instead of still wearing this:
I giant tie, with a giant boxy shirt and pleated high-waisted pants or khakis is a menswear SIN. Next time you’re shopping, make sure you TRY EVERYTHING ON, and ask a sales associates opionin on size and fit.
Blake Lively is one to watch.

Which makes her all over the pages of Vogue:
As an avid viewer of Gossip Girl Bake Lively seems to be a logical pick for a new up and coming “fashionista”, I’m just surprised she got on Anna Wintour’s radar so early in her career. Gossip Girl isn’t exactly a critically acclaimed show…and before that all that we new Lively from was Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Directly from all this media attention, Lively has received the role of a lifetime from director/actor Ben Affleck in The Town. I didn’t think she could handle playing a drugged out, single mom from Boston, but she proved she does have some acting chops! Here is a scene from the movie:
Now lets just hope she doesn’t ruin the affects of The Town with her role in The Green Lantern. Either way, she’s still hot…and will always look amazing on the red carpet:
