"The Smurfs" NYC Premiere

Despite the fact that I have no desire whatsoever to see this movie, I'm going to talk about the New York premiere of "The Smurfs" only because I think Katy Perry is amazing. What do you mean, you ask? Oh, you just wait for it...
I know, right? This is why I love Katy Perry. She can pull this off. She can totally pull off having her Smurf character bedazzled on a dress. I'm still not sold on her blonde hair though. But this dress, I applaud her for it. And the fact that she is wearing Smurf blue shoes. But to top it off, she even had Smurfs painted on her nails. Gosh dang, she's great. Great enough to make me say "gosh dang" evidently.
I'm actually a little disappointed with Sofia Vergara's dress. I like the color on her, but the cut is kind of unflattering. It's just there. And her bracelets are a little too much. Better luck next time, I'm afraid.
Speaking of better luck next time, I'm also not all that impressed with Jayma Mays' dress. As much as I love her on "Glee" and as much as I kind of love/hate her name (I love saying it, I hate typing it) I'm not liking her dress. It's too short and it looks like an awkward Prom dress. Right?
I haven't the slightest clue as to why Olivia Palermo was at the premiere, but she looked really cute. I love her style, I loathe using that phrase, especially as a fashion student, but I love all the clothes she wears. I want to raid her closet, please and thank you.

FYI

Okay, as seriously depressed as I am that Borders is closing (Honestly, I got teary eyed when I heard the news), I just thought I'd encourage you to visit them to pick up magazines (For 40% off!!!!) and fashion books (For 20% off!). I mean, I had to find a silver lining in there somewhere and picking up ELLE UK for $5.99 instead of $9.99 is as good as it gets. But seriously, go now before everyone takes the good ones. My recommendations: Glamour UK, Glamour, ELLE, ELLE UK, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's Bazaar UK, Teen Vogue (Well, only because it will practically be free), Marie Claire, Marie Claire UK, InStyle, Vogue, Vogue UK and Lucky. Just to name a few. And by a few, I mean I am subscribed to pretty much all of those. But seriously, go before it's too late!

ELLE Mexico August 2011

Oh my goodness. Selena Gomez is perfection. Absolute perfection. She looks gorgeous as she graces the cover of ELLE Mexico's August issue. I can't wait to see the rest of the shoot. Oh and sidenote, yesterday was her 19th birthday. So precious.

Carey Mulligan

Oh, I've missed Carey Mulligan out and about. I always love what she chooses to wear. Although, she did come out about a month ago looking very matronly and I couldn't bear it, hence why it's nowhere to be found on my blog. Yesterday she made an appearance at the 2011 Comic Con convention (Which is in San Diego. Which is about an hour-ish from where I live. Which makes me sad that I can't be there to gush over Carey Mulligan and/or kick Kristen Stewart in the shin for being ungrateful.) to promote her new movie "Drive" in this seriously adorable Roksanda Ilinic dress. I love the colors and the cut. I love it all. I even love that she wore red pumps for no reason in particular. Fingers crossed she keeps this up.

Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton has put her gorgeous Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown on display at the Buckingham Palace. Her wedding shoes, earrings, tiara and a replica of her bouquet and cake are all on display. They are now offering public tours and an exclusive 5 minute video on the making of the dress with Sarah Burton as well. Kate Middleton and the Queen visited the exhibit today and they both looked wonderful as usual. The gown will be on display tomorrow until October 3, 2011. So, if anyone wants to make a quick stop to Buckingham Palace with me, let me know because I am determined to see it.

"I've always believed one could live many lives through the way we dress and the places we travel to, even if just in our imagination. The world is open to us, and each day is an occasion to reinvent ourselves."
