Celeb Style Sunday: Golden Globes 2012

The 2012 Golden Globes took place tonight and I'll just say it - some of the stars did not bring their "A" games. There were some pretty terrible looks on the red carpet and these three were the worst of the worst in my opinion - Lea Michele, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Michelle Williams. Maybe there was a "Michelle" curse that landed all of them with these horrible dresses?

This week's addictions . . .

With the royal wedding quickly approaching, it's got me thinking one thing: I want to be a princess. Although it seems unlikely, a girl can dream:

Celeb Style Sunday: Shenae Grimes

My best friend Jennie came to visit this weekend and we continued on with our tradition of watching old episodes of 90210. Meanwhile, my one truly shameful addiction is watching the new 90210. It's kind of like a bad car accident - it's awful, but you can't look away. Shenae Grimes (the new Brenda) attended the 32nd Annual College Television Awards this week (when did we get SO many awards shows?) and I'm not sure what she was thinking when she put on this dress. The sleeves look like they came from a shawl that my grandmother would wear and Shenae does not have enough, errr, shape to fill out this dress. Yikes!

Stop Staring!

I really enjoy vintage-inspired dresses when they are done right and I have to say that Stop Staring! really has this genre pegged. I discovered Stop Staring! four or five years ago, but the line has been around for 10 years with designer Alicia Estrada at the helm. The line has grown considerably, especially with the retro look being so popular, and is now sold in tons of boutiques as well as online. Although they sell separates, dresses are really their forte - cocktail dresses, rockabilly dresses, plus size dresses and of course, little black dresses. Take a look:

Celeb Style Sunday: Claire Danes

I am in love with this Yves Saint Laurent dress that Claire danes wore to the premiere of "Le Comte Ory" at the Metropolitan Opera House this week. Gorgeous and sophisticated, just way you should look when heading to the opera.

Barter for furniture!

I've mentioned before that I'm a fan of Blu Dot, but their newest promotion has made me an even bigger fan. Their modern furniture is just my style but not always in my price range. However, now through tomorrow you can barter with Blu Dot for the chance to take home a new sofa, table, desk or other piece of awesome furniture. They are looking for talents, deeds, oddities, collections, taxidermy, crafts and anything else crazy or quirky that you can think of. Of course, if they are not impressed with your collection of retainers they can always pass on the bid and go for something else (like a spork collection). Hurry and get your bid in here.
