Best Dressed: Nerd Prom Edition

Every year the White House invites the most influential people over for a big dinner. Affectionately called “Nerd Prom,” the correspondents dinner is a fashion show for those attending. I think it’s absolutely amazing to sit in a room, rub shoulders with outstanding people and eat dinner with the President of the United States. I mean, who wouldn’t want to meet President Obama or any other current president at the time?!

 

Anywho, tons of famous folks get dressed up for the occasion and stroll the red carpet. Now, we get to see who’s wearing who and who they’re most excited to see. Get ready to see who I picked and like for best dressed.

 

 

 

 

Kerry Washington looked absolutely stunning in basic black and white. This gorgeous printed Wes Gordon dress fits her like a glove.

 

This is Darren Criss. We don’t know what he’s wearing but he’s damn sure wearing it well!

 

There really isn’t anything Connie Britton can do that’ll make me dislike her. This blue lace Temperly London dress only makes me like her more.

Sofia Vergara always looks amazing so this Herve L. Leroux dress is no exception.

Ahh supermodels. Chrissy Teigen chose this Kaufmanfranco after battling with zippers on her first choice. She stunned us all with fiance John Legend.

 

Apparently blue was the color of the night and I have no qualms with that at all. Thank goodness these gorgeous ladies don’t either! Looking incredibly ahh-mazing from left to right.

Speaking of blue, Claire Danes chose a light shade of the hue in this Prada sheath dress.

Megan Hilty shines in the Pantone color of the year by Badgley Mischka.

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss in Dolce & Gabbana and Michelle Dockery in Elie Saab both chose deep purple to wow on the red carpet. THIS is the purple you want to wear.

Amy Poehler decided to wear this shimmering Basler dress in white and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Do Blondes Have More Fun? Beyoncé surely thinks so!

Well, do they?

 

I was blonde once well twice if you count highlights. Can’t be entirely sure but it’s a pretty close race between being a blonde and being a brunette. I will say this, when you’re blonde, you feel invincible like you can do anything. I had zero regrets about going lighter so in my everyday life I felt powerful because I did something that not too many people were doing around me. Now that I’m back to black or dark brown…I still feel fearless except I also feel like I blend into the crowd. Whether dark or light, I had fun and made the best out of every situation.

 

So, where am I going with this, you ask?

 

Hmm…

 

The best way to do this is to just show you. So here you go!

 

 

Beautiful, curvy and golden-hued flowing waves and all…

Thes nude-nipply number is also designed by The Blonds

I’m not sure what is actually going on here but hey boobies and nipples get the people talking, right Bey?!

The Blonds have designed stage wear for several amazing and curvy entertainers like, JLo (sorry, Jennifer Lopez, you’ll always be JLo to me), Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Britney Spears just to name a few. So they definitely know what they’re doing when it comes to sexy and dangerous curves! David and Phillipe Blond are practically glitter and gold geniuses if you ask me! Anyone that can make magic happen with faux nipples is amazing!

What do YOU think?

Spring Fling

It’s finally starting to feel like spring around here, can I get a big WOOHOO?! I don’t know about you guys but I’m tired of the layers! Just waiting on that moment when we can walk outside with a cute cardigan and sunglasses. I’ll still grab a scarf mother nature but the hat, gloves, tank, and under clothes won’t be coming with me. This brief fling with spring has me in the mood to shop and of course I have to share with my stylish sweets what’s on trend.

How cute are these denim jackets?! Perfect for spring and summer in case there’s a chill in the air. What’s even more chic….colored denim is IN so that means vibrant jackets are given the green light for the season. No matter your size or color preference, it’s sure to be in the stores and making its’ way into your closet. All of the denim jackets above are pretty decently priced. I already have a jacket like the second jacket on the first row…just the average distressed denim but I am definitely loving on the “old school” bleached jacket and the orange one! Ok, I need more money lol!

What’s trending in the world of fashion these days? Fashion is a fickle fickle world and what’s popular today may not be popular next month.

We have these curves to be different…say it loud…I’m curvy and I’m proud!
