The Fabulous LADY GAGA

Sorry we haven't posted in a while!! As you all know, the school year is back in full swing, which of course means a mountain of homework building up. Two weeks ago Allie and I saw the AMAZING Lady Gaga in concert in Philly. She is absolutely wonderful and I suggest that everyone should see her!!

To show our support as devoted little monsters, we dressed up and did our makeup Gaga style (props go to Allie for her amazing makeup talent!!)

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga's Bad Romance silver metal dress with amazing matching shoes!


Lady Gaga scats and plays the piano in leather lingerie and leather studded boots.

Throughout the night, Lady Gaga made many wardrobe changes and I unfortunately couldn't get good pictures of them all :( Before I wish you all a wonderful week, I would like to point out Lady Gaga's work as not only a performer but also as an advocate of Gay Rights. Last Tuesday the Senate voted on whether or not to repeal the Don't Ask Don't Tell Policy. Unfortunately, the repeal was denied. If you want to find out more or show your support to get it repealed please check out her video! Lady Gaga's Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal Video

Have a wonderful week!

Skincare for less

Though I do love the Clarisonic, not everyone has the money or wants to spend that much on something that washes your face. Recently I heard that some people wash their face with electronic toothbrushes. Weird right? My friend, however, just started using one and she really likes it! What's great about using the electronic toothbrush is that you can get it at a drugstore really cheap and if you don't like it, you don't feel bad about spending the $5. I definitely am going to have to try it and see if it really works.

Another product I heard about is this Aveda shammy cloth. It's $9.50 and it washes your face gently without hurting or damaging it. When you get it wet, it turns into a regular washcloth but when it dries, it hardens pushing the bacteria out of it. I will get back to you on it if really works because I really want one!

Emmys free or fall

This season I'm seriously in love with neutrals, navy, other earth tones, and of course black. (no surprise there) The Emmys last night had a fair share of fabulous, and an abundance of "did your child glue that together?" looks. I have to be honest and say i was pretty let down by the fashion on the red carpet last night. To me, the men looked 10 times better than the women. But there are a few exceptions...


Kim Kardashian in Marchesa looked like a true goddess. The white chiffon with the grecian draping and the egyptian neck collar took on a whole new form of stunning. Everyone knows Kim has the most incredible body, but this dress just accentuates the fact. Kim, having her hair up lets the dress stand out alone. Her long wavy locks would have been overpowering and distract from the fabulous Marchesa. well done Ms. Kardashian, you did it again!


Julianna Margulies looked Fantastic in L'wren Scot. Her fair skin and rich dark hair made the dress pop and stand on its own. The dress' stunning T shape from the bust and down really flatters Julianna. The look was topped of with refined but equally gorgeous black strapped booties. I seriously love this look because it is simple yet elegant and interesting all at the same time. i give this an A!


Kelly Osbourne turned heads wearing Tony Ward couture. I was pleasantly surprised by Kelly. I have to confess that i am not usually a fan of her clothing choices, but whoever styled this look did a SUPERB job. The top draping really flows into the netted portion on the bottom half of the dress. The subtle train really tops this dress off. i would also die for this dress in a nude. 


Maria Menounos wore a jaw dropping Ralph & Russo gown. Words cannot describe my love for this gown. The colors blend so well and the neckline is to die for! i could do without the cut out in the middle, but i will have to sacrifice! I slight train makes the gown even more stunning. Maria's hair is pulled back which i think is a good choice, too much hair would overpower the gown. Red lipstick pulls this look together perfectly. My favorite of the night.


Gugu Mbatha blew me away in this Raw gown. She is already such a stunning person and her skin tone is to die for. Choosing a nude colored gown with subtle details and a lot of draping was the most incredible choice. Everything is fluid including the clutch. The only stand out portion of this look is her hair, which is still subtle but still very glamorous. 


John Hamm is nothing short of delicious in this Georgio Armani tuxedo. Let alone being one of the sexiest men of television, he has incredible taste in clothing. The glasses really make this look an A. Wayfarers are definitely my favorite style of glasses, and on a man they are even better. especially this one. I am mad for the lapels on this tuxedo jacket and the stunning cufflinks. Job well done Mr. Hamm!

EMMYS Fashion: Fabulous or Flub-Up?

Last night from 8-11, millions of people sat in front of their TV to watch the Emmys to see if their favorite TV show won anything. Though I do love Glee, The Office, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives and more, the real reason I love to watch award shows like the Emmys and the Oscars is for the fashion. I love to see the different designers and dresses each actress wears and how they dress it up with accessories. Some actresses either hit the target and looked stunning while others looked rather bad. Here are some of my favorites of the night.


Claire Danes

To me, Claire Danes stole the show in this gorgeous Swarovski crystal-encrusted Armani Prive strapless dress. She looked simply radiant as the dress accentuated her curves and flowed gracefully to the red carpet. Her blond curls' glow brightened up her face giving her a mature look. She definitely has grown up from being Juliet in Romeo and Juliet with Leo. Claire also came away from the night with an Emmy for her role in Temple Grandin. What a night for her! 



Sofia Vergara
Though Sofia may be all laughs on Modern Family, her show stopper Caroline Herrera gown was definitely no laughing matter. Sofia awed the crowds because she looked simply amazing in the stunning gold sequined dress. Her lush brown curls framed her face beautifully making her even more irresistible. 



Dianna Agron 

Lace is one of my favorite features in a dress and Dianna wore it beautifully. Her fair skin looked flawless against the pale pink and black of the dress. Her tiered Caroline Herrara dress definitely made her one of the best dressed of the night. While most mind find this dress hard to pull off, this Glee cast star had no problem. It was a good idea to have the hair up but it could have been done better I feel. 


January Jones

On the show Mad Men, January looks fabulous without a hair out of place in her gorgeous 1960's outfits. So what went wrong here? I guess she is not used to the culture shock because her hair and Versace dress aren't hot. For one thing, January looks like she rolled out of bed and decided to find a dress that made her look like a peacock with pointy boobs. Blue looks good on her because of her blonde hair but the blue on that dress is not complimentary. Next time I hope her stylist takes more time in planning her modern clothes as they do on the show.
Betty White



Many people have criticized Betty White's attire and maybe they are right in saying she could have dressed better but the woman is almost ninety, people. Not many actors or actresses that old get to host SNL and win an Emmy for it. To me, I think Betty looked good and to those who haven't seen her SNL, watch it. It's really funny!







Mindy Kaling

Though I do love Mindy on The Office, I was not at all impressed with her outfit. She looks as if she is trying to be a witch and an ugly one at that. Maybe if she lost the cobweb shoulder she would look better. Her hair looks like she rolled it up into a ball and put it on her head. I really hope this was a joke because I can't take her seriously in that outfit.
