Style: Golden Globes Favorites.

Hello, gorgeous people! Other than the VMAs- which I've been watching religiously since I was about 7- I don't usually sit through entire award show ceremonies. This year I'm trying to get all up in that pop culture life (in real time, that is. I've always followed up, just never watched live).  So, Golden Globes. I have some opinions about the way the Sony/North Korea situation was tackled, but I'll spare you the rant.  In terms of my style favorites- just a mini rant. I chose my favorites not based by post-broadcast popularity, but based on my personal taste as well as other criteria. Chances are, dressing nicely is a pretty financially effortless endeavor for celebrities that have most things at their finger tips, but there are some things money can't buy.  The knowledge to dress age-appropriately and the charm and personalities that shine through each outfit are things that I find priceless. Therefore, this top is a representation of my understanding of garment beauty, age-appropriateness, and celebrities' charm and personality.  What are your favorites + your criteria for putting together a best dressed list?  As usual, thank you for stopping by! 

Emily Blunt//Kate Beckinsale//Ellie Kemper

Emily Blunt looks flawless and posh. This may be a weird association, but if her voice was a dress, it would be this one. 

In a sea of plunging necklines and lots of boob tape, Kate Beckinsale's look is the only one that did it for me. Both JLo and Jessica Chastain's dresses were beautiful, but my boobs hurt just looking at them. Those dresses did NOT look breast-friendly,

Ellie Kemper's look is just classy and gorgeous. Her lip color and hair compliment her dress so nicely! 

Naomi Watts//Helen Mirren

Naomi Watts never fails during award season- I even dig her snake necklace and Lord knows I'm terrified of snakes!

Like anyone and everyone who saw Helen Mirren on the red carpet last night, I want to be her when I grow up. The woman is 69 years old and just SLAYS in that gorgeous curve-hugging dress.

Quvenzhane Wallis//Anna Kendrick//Lupita Nyong'o

Quvenzhane Wallis looked adorable and totally age appropriate! I love the bow detail and princess skirt and her hair, and, most importantly, her adorable smile!

I'm not usually a fan of Anna Kendrick's outfits, but last night she did this kind of sexy but totally innocent princess dress and I was totally loving it.

Lupita Nyong'o is a risk taker and a goddess. There really are no words. I worship her looks the same way most of the female population worships Kerry Washington.

Emma Stone// Amal Alamuddin Clooney

Emma Stone looked comfortable and Emma Stone-like. She rocks a pair of slacks like none other.

Amal Alamuddin Clooney strikes me as the Kate Middleton of the red carpet- poised, timeless, powerful.

Lorde//Gina Rodriguez

I love the fact that Lorde is not afraid to be herself. I would never be caught dead in that outfit, but it works so well with her personality, her music, and her body, that it's just made for her.

And finally, there's Gina Rodriguez. The only thing I'm not feeling about her look are the shoes she chose to wear with this lovely dress- a bit too much going on for my taste. But the beautiful thing is that I'm barely looking at the shoes- because her skin is glowing, her smile is breathtaking, and her dress is gorgeous!

boots: DSW

Greetings, everyone! Today's look is one of my favorites as of late- both in photography and composition. I'm getting some great use out of the DSW boots purchased on clearance and a bunch of items that have been stuck inside my closet for longer than they should have. 

I wore this look while being touristy at the missions in San Antonio and (surprisingly) nailed it both weather and comfort-wise. The boots can carry me for miles, and while it was windy and chilly, the coat and tights pairing did wonders. 

In terms of accessories, I swear my entire jewelry box is going to consist of stuff from my boyfriend and his family. The necklace is a Christmas gift from his parents (and handmade by his aunt), and the earrings are a gift from his grandmother! I love them both, and they will definitely be making more appearances on the blog! Shoutout to Aidan's family for always spoiling me! I really appreciate you guys :) And while we're at it, shoutout to Aidan for taking my photos- my cousins always feel bad for you for having to deal with me. 

To everyone else, thank you SO much for stopping by! :)

Hello, everybody!

Well, here it is: the first outfit post of 2015! I have a bunch of stuff lined up for the blog this month, but I thought it would be appropriate to start off with the New Year's Eve outfit! I celebrated with my family and boyfriend at the parents' house, after realizing that the cold in Downtown San Antonio was not something we wanted to deal with- neither was trying to find a hotel room super last minute. 

Speaking of super last minute, I had no idea my 'rents would be into dressing up for the occasion, therefore this is the result of me quickly pulling out stuff from the clothes I had left at home and creating an outfit in 5 minutes. I suppose it wasn't too shabby. I got the LBD at the Hollywood H&M for (NO JOKE) 5 bucks. The catch is that it happened forever ago- remember when you could walk into a store and buy incredibly inexpensive items rather than pretending that a $15 (orig. $16.99) item is a good sale? Yeah, me neither. 

A special shoutout is in order for this garage sale'd shiny set that I've been unable to get enough of lately! Thanks for that one, mom!

And thank YOU for stopping by my blog today! :)
