Amanda Seyfried

Sometimes I think it's best to review dresses a day later because it gives me time to think about outfits. For example, the Lanvin dress Amanda Seyfried wore to the premiere of "Red Riding Hood" last night. At first it made me scrunch my nose, but now I kind of like it. Not only does the color look fantastic on her, but she looks confident and confidence is the best accessory. Or something less corny. And can we talk about her Tom Binns Design necklace? I'm not much of a necklace person, but this. This is gorgeous. Bravo, Amanda Seyfried! You've redeemed yourself just a little bit.

Teen Vogue April 2011

Nina Dobrev graces the cover of Teen Vogue's April issue and she looks adorbs. I mean, I've never seen "Vampire Diaries," to be entirely honest I don't know what it's even about. I mean, vampires. Sure. Great. Bleck. Anyways, I really like this shoot. It's fun and whimsical and I kind of love her clothes. I would love to recreate this, please.
Really, really don't like the cover shoot. I don't like the colors, the hair, the dress or the accessories. It's just too much color and my eyes are not pleased.
Oh, I need these sunglasses.

"Sometimes comfort doesn't matter. When a shoe is freakin' fabulous, it may be worth a subsequent day of misery. Soak in Epsom salts and take comfort in the fact that you're better than everyone else."

ELLE April 2011

So, I thought I liked Amanda Seyfried, but she's slowly and surely becoming annoying. She has a Kristen Stewart quality to her right now. What with the whole saying stupid things in interviews, such as "I talk like I know what I'm talking about, but I don't." That makes you sound stupid, Miss Seyfried. It's all very annoying. Either way, she is ELLE's April cover girl and the shoot is cute. I guess. There are some really random animals guest starring. I mean, I guess the cats aren't random, but a duck and a lamb? What the what? I can't process animal editorials when I am this tired. It's all too confusing.
There's an old picture of Leonardo DiCaprio with a swan/goose thing around his neck and this kind of reminds me of it. Although, Leo is cuter then ALL of this wrapped into one. I love him, okay?

Blake Lively for Chanel Mademoiselle

Blake Lively's Chanel Mademoiselle Handbag Campaign was just released and I have to say, I am somewhat disappointed. Granted, she looks gorgeous as always, but I was expecting more from this. You know? It's a classic Chanel ad, and I respect that. That's actually part of the reason I adore Chanel so much. Karl Lagerfeld stays true to Coco Chanel's classic look whilst also modernizing it. So, this ad is doing just that, but it's just not wowing me. I just want to see Leighton Meester's Vera Wang ad already. And who knows, maybe this ad will grow on me?

Fashion Quote of the Day

"Only men who are not interested in women are interested in women's clothes. Men who like women never notice what they wear."
Anatole France

Coco Rocha

The fact that I have yet to write about Milan Fashion Week is really concerning and I apologize from the bottom of my heart, but I'll get there. I swear to you. I swear. But in the meantime, I would like to focus all of my attention on Coco Rocha and the chicken she wore on her head for Moschino's Fall/Winter 2011 show. Oh my gosh. Only Coco Rocha could pull this off, for serious. She looks fierce. And okay, I have this weird thing about chickens, it's a long story, but I am kind of loving everything about this. But seriously, only Coco Rocha and only Moschino, in this case.

Seeing Double Part III

The fact that I need a "Seeing Double Part III" is concerning on many levels. You KNOW that I HATE fashion repeats. I just don't like them, with the exception of that Christian Dior dress I love oh, so much, I don't encourage fashion repeats. Amanda Seyfried graces the cover of Marie Claire UK's April issue and Abbie Cornish graces the cover of Harper's Bazaar Australia's April issue both wearing a Prada dress from their Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Here's the thing, I wasn't crazy about this dress when I saw it on the runway and I'm not crazy about it on Amanda Seyfried, but for some reason, it looks kind of great on Abbie Cornish. Maybe it's because you can see her bra (or whatever that is), but it makes it more interesting. I'm not in love with straight across strapless dresses, so I'm going to have to say that this time it's Abbie for the win. Agreed?
