Gotta Get That Super-Bass (Nail Polish Collection)!

I'm sure we all know by now that the fabulous Nicki Minaj is coming out with a nail polish collection. I'm so excited! Nicki Minaj is one of my absolute favorite singers and style icons! I would be honored to wear a nail-polish inspired by Nicki Minaj! The collection features bright green, blue, and pink hues, TONS of glitter, and even a crackle topcoat! I want the whole collection!
What a lot of people may not know is that, in celebration  of Nicki's new collection, the London-based nail boutique created to-die-for nail art designs inspired by Barbz herself WITH the colors from her collection! If you live in LONDON you can sport these signature looks yourself, but if you don't (I don't!), you can still recreate these fun looks with the colors from the collection.The hand-painted Illustrated Nail designs won't be available until January 2012, and they nail polish collection will be out sometime in EARLY 2012.
Top Row: Did It On 'Em, Fly, and Metallic 4 Life  Bottom Row: Super Bass, Pink Friday, and Save Me                                  

I'm so glad that Nicki Minaj decided to come out with a nail-polish collection, so that we can have nails as fierce as hers! I'm so excited to try all of them, especially Save Me and Pink Friday! I have a feeling this collection will be one of the biggest nail polish collections of the year!

Which nail polish from the collection are you most excited to try?

Dolce & Gabbana Are Seeing Stars

Lately I feel as if everyone has been seeing stars. No joke! Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2011 collection featured one of fall's most favorite prints: STARS! Their star prints are so irresistibly good! I'm not surprised that they made this print popular though. Dolce & Gabbana are the ones that made lacy white dresses one of the hottest runway trends with their S/S 2011 collection. I'm so happy that they decided to choose a fun and flirty print for the fall season!

These are some of the wonderful "starry-eyed" looks that were featured in the 2011 Fall/ Winter runway show! I like how some of the looks are really chic but others have that fun, rock star vibe! That teal sequined bag in the 2nd look is to-die-for!
 One of my favorite looks from the show actually happens to be a close-up of a model donning a huge funky statement necklace! Check it out:
Doesn't she look gorgeous with all these statement pieces! Look at all these stars!
These "starry" looks were not just popular on the runway! Quite a lot of celebrity have been rocking this look!See for yourself:
Zoe Saldana, Ashley Tisdale, and Fergie are all shining brightly in their "starry" outfits!
Lately, I have been look for ways that I can rock this super fun star trend. Charlotte Russe has an absolutely adorable star dress that really captures the whole essence of the trend. See for yourself:
Isn't it perfect! The best part is it's only $29.99! That's so much better than for your wallet then shelling out hundreds of dollars for one of Dolce & Gabbana's pricey frocks! Find it at Charlotte Russe!
Stars are one on fall's hottest prints of the season! If you want to feel like a shining star then make sure to try out this trend. I feel like they will definetly spice up your fall and winter wardrobe, especially if you choose star printed pieces with a flirty silhouette like Dolce & Gabbana's! I hope you enjoy this trend while it's around!

Love Her Look: Emma Watson

Emma Watson looked "premiere pretty" at the UK premiere of My Week with Marilyn. Her look was fun and flirty while still fashion-forward for the young fashionista. Her gorgeous embellished top was from Jason Wu's Spring 2012 collection. I love the top because it's such a classy piece! I like how she paired such a mature top with a short skirt to keep the look young and fresh! I mean, come on, she's still under 25! The girl can show some leg! Overall, this look is a win in my opinion because not only did Emma look fabulous but she still looked classic and chic which was surely fitting for the premiere of a movie about the ever-so classic Marilyn Monroe!

I can't believe it's almost December! December brings fun holiday parties, cute Christmas specials, and even colder weather!

Well, now is the time to brighten up your toes and make them look beautiful. Even if you are wearing shoes all day, it's nice knowing that buried under your socks and shoes, you have a pretty polish on your feet. It can be your very own secret!

Gwen Stefani's Mini Harajuku Girls(and Boys!)

Gwen Stefani is one of my absolute favorite fashionistas. She not only has her own fashion line called L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers perfume line, but know she has her own fashion line for little kids! Her line is with Target and is possibly one of the most unique collections around for little kids. While little kids may not know what Harajuku means one thing they will know is that they will look absolutely adorable in these outfits!
This little guy is one tough cookie is this super cool graffiti hoodie! I love the little studs on the pocket of his jeans! It's definetly the little details that make an outfit special.

I love all the plaid in this outfit! It's very dressed up but with that punk rock feel with all the plaid. I think the bow tie is the cutest part!

You'll definetly feel cute in this super fun graphic tee and ballerina tutu skirt. These little graphic tees remind me so much of the Juicy Couture graphic tees!

I feel like this look says, "Just because I'm wearing a hot pink tutu doesn't mean I'm not bad to the bone! I love all the cute Harajuku buttons on this little girl's motorcycle jacket.
You'll look better than any school girl in your punky plaid blazer and matching skirt! Just make sure to wear a super cute graphic tee with it too!

I feel like this look could definetly be part of Madonna's Material Girl collection. Doesn't it have that 80's feel? I love the idea of pairing leopard print and leather!
I love that Gwen Stefani decided to expand her brand into little kids wear! I'm sure any toddler or tween would love to wear this look. If I was 11 or 12, I would be all over this collection! I feel like this collection is super trendy and has the right amount of sass for any developing fashionista! Make sure to check the collection out at Target because it's in stores now!

Fashion Must-Have: White Tees!

One thing that every girl should have in her wardrobe is a white tee. Not only can you wear them with everything, but you can wear them for almost any occasion! So on days where you feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear just put on a white tee and jean and play up the look with some fun accessories! Here are three celeb-inspired ways to rock your white tee:
Kendall shows you how a simple look can still look totally chic! Kendall tucked her white tee into a basic black pencil skirt. To stay comfy, she added a pair of black balled flats with some cute gold embellishments!  Since this look is so simple make sure to use your shoes to dress up the look!

Zendaya shakes up her white tee by adding a cute black bow to her white tee. Her bow instantly takes her look from drab to fab! She then finished off her look with leopard print pants and stunning red heels. This glam look would be perfect for a fun party or a night out with the girls!

Miley gave her look that wild, rock-star feel by pairing her white tee with studded jacket, ripped jeans, and super embellished heels! I love how Miley add her own flair to this super casual look!

Here are some fun pieces that you can pair with your white tee:
Fun Pieces to Pair with Your White Tee

1. Printed Shorts: Shorts are not just for summertime! They would look great paired with a casual white tee. Since it's getting a little chilly I would pair these with some legging and boots
2. Lovely Leggings: Leggings would look really great with a longer white tee, maybe a one of the high-low styles or a tunic. Leggings are great for lounging around at home, but tuck these into some killer boots and your ready to hit the streets.
3. Sassy Scarf: Colored scarves look great over a plain tee. Not only do they keep you neck warm, but they also keep you looking super stylish!
4. Beautiful Bangles: I love having a bunch of bangles all over my wrist. Make sure to get some really bold ones to glam up your boring tee!
5. Sweet Statement Necklace: Statement necklaces can turn any boring outfit into an amazing outfit. Get a necklace that fits your sparkling personality and let your necklace do the talking!
6. Bold Ballet Flats: Ballet flats are perfect for when you want to be comfy but still look fabulous. Since your tee is in a bland white color, make sure to choose flats in a bold colorful hue!
7. Fun Blazer: Blazers instantly dress up any look, so why not dress up your boring white tee with a super fun blazer!

While your Black Friday shopping, I hope you get some fun, trendy pieces to dress up essentials like a plain tee. White tees are a fashion essential that every girl should have, so if you don't have one- GET ONE!
Your not a fashionista unless you have at least one white tee! Just think of a plain tee as your blank canvas to accessorize and style to your heart's content! Remember that and you'll never think, "What should I wear today?".

Shimmer and Sparkles Galore!

The holidays are officially my favorite time of the year! I love being able to relax at home and partake in fun,festive activities. One of my favorite thing about the holidays has to be the holiday parties! I just love dressing up in my best party dress and the whole process of getting ready for a fun event. I was so inspired by one of Teen Vogue's editorials called "Flash Mob". It perfectly showcases the kind of look I'm trying to go for this holiday season.
I love the giant silver star necklace! It's such a statement piece! The white dainty gloves make the outfit so much girlier, which I love.

Faux fur is a huge trend for the holiday season! I really want to try to look out. I love the first girl's chocolate brown sequin oxfords!

Statement necklaces look amazing paired with a lady-like blouse. It's like girly meets glam!

With the right accessories ,like neon pink pumps, a fun blazer can make the perfect party ensemble.
I can wait to go shopping for some pieces to add some sparkle to my wardrobe! I feel like the easiest way to add some sparkle to your wardrobe is with accessories. Maybe I should get some new jewelry? What do you guys think about adding some shimmer and sparkle to your wardrobe?

Fashion Report: 2011 American Music Awards

Last night was the American Music Awards and it was fantastic! The music performances were amazing and so were the fashion! It seems as if  everyone came to the award show with their fashion A-game because their looks were super hot! For those of you who didn't get to see the show, I hope my fashion report helps.
Taylor Swift looked drop-dead gorgeous in her champagne colored Reem Acra gown! Taylor stayed true to her style and rocked a lot of sequins. Maybe that's why she one so many awards last night?

You would never have thought that this was Amy's, from Karmin, first AMA's by this killer look she wore last night. This color-blocked look made her look like a award show veteran! Loved this bold look!

Youtube star, Christina Grimmie looked phenomenal in her bright red dress! I love all of the detailing and ruching at the side!

Ellie Goulding put her own unique spin of the ever so classic LBD by wearing this little knee-length slit shift by Christopher Kane. I love how the big cutout and mesh panelling add so much edginess to the dress!

Jennifer Hudson looked like a total bombshell in this slinky,draped metallic Jenny Packham party dress. Her glittery pumps and magenta lips help make this a perfect look for any award show or even a New Year's party!

I love this embellished mini dress that Sara Hyland wore last night! The foil design on the dress is so pretty and the studs give the dress the perfect rocker feel!
Nicki Minaj stole the show in my opinion. She looked like a glamour doll in her super-dramatic Oscar de la Renta dress. The pink hair makes this Victorian looking dress so much more modern which I love!
I think everyone looked amazing last night! I love the AMAs because you don't necessarily have to wear a gown to look amazing. I feel like each celebrity got to show of their true style, last night. I had so much fun last night checking out what each girl (and guy) was wearing.
