Why this is so Good...

Hello!

Long time no see! I've been so busy with school that I haven't had time to report on the latest fashion news. However today I will not be talking about fashion but about amazing music I love. There are several genres of music that I love but my two favorite are Folk Rock/Indie and Pop/Soul.

Here are some of my favorites

Bob Dylan

Band of Horses

Mumford and Sons


Adele
DuffyJamie Cullum

Go check them out I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.

The reason I love this type of music is because each song tells a story, relates to the listener, or is just plain awesome! Another aspect that I love is a lot of the music is instrumental that's to say that there are parts of the songs that focus on the sounds of instruments and is crucial to the story being told.

Music in today's mainstream is just not as good. There's not much to the lyrics and sometimes the person performing doesn't even need talent, just a really good microphone. Don't get me wrong I love to jam to Lady Gaga and Katy Perry but if you're looking for something with a little more soul and with more profound lyrics you won't find it on the radio or on MTV these days.

Let me know what you think and what you like to listen to!

Love,
Stylishly Yours.

Also a lot of clothes they are wearing are from stores such as Forever 21 or secondhand clothing which is available to anybody. You can create your own style without breaking the bank and as a broke college student I can tell you that is awesome!

Oscars 2011: Best Dressed

Hello!

As we all know the Academy Awards were last night and there were many best dressed there. There were many there but I will narrowed it down to my top 10 favorites.

Mila Kunis wore a very romantic Elie Saab couture lace gown.

Cate Blanchett rocked a complex yet elegant crystal-and-pearl-embellished Givenchy Haute Couture gown and Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry. I love how unusual this dress is almost alien-like but Cate looks stunning and its fitting considering her many unusual roles.

Getty Images

Best Actress winner Natalie Portman (my favorite actress!) wore a Rodarte draped chiffon dress that was perfect for her glamorous pregnancy.

Getty Images

Amy Adams wore an elegant midnight-blue L'Wren Scott gown and Cartier emerald-and-diamond jewelry. *****

Getty Images

Sandra Bullock wore a crimson red Vera Wang gown that was truly beautiful on her.

Getty Images

Halle Berry wore a frilly Marchesa beaded gown with a dramatic tulle train. She has very nice shoulders and she clearly knows how to show them off with this gown.

Getty Images

Hailee Steinfeld dress her age in a Marchesa in a blush tulle tea dress which she helped design. She looked adorable in her dress and I admire her for dressing her age -14- because you get many pre-teen girls dressing older and it doesn't suit them.

Getty Images

Hilary Swank wore a Gucci ombré sequined dress and Anna Hu jewelry.

She looked stunning in this dress and is by far one of my favorite actresses of all time!

Getty Images

Celine Dion wore an Armani Privé ivory dress. After having given birth four months ago to twins she looks amazing in this dress!

Getty Images

Mandy Moore wore a beautiful sequined and tulle Monique Lhuillier gown. I loved the ivory tone to this dress and how it blends in with her skin making her look classic.

Getty Images

And my absolute favorite dress out of my top 10 is.........................drum roll please................Amy Adams L'Wren Scott gown! I love the design, color and the way it styled with a Cartier emerald-and-diamond jewelry is timelessly classic.

Tell me what were your favorites of the night!

Love,

Stylishly Yours

Trend Report for Spring 2011

Hi!

As you know I follow Elle somewhat religiously to keep up with latest fashion trends and fashion news. Recently New York had their Fashion Week where many designers showed their Spring 2011 collection and Fall 2011 collection. I wanted to share with you all the fashion trends for the spring so you can arrange your wardrobe.

Courtesey of ELLE

As you can see this is a chart naming all the hottest trends with a model wearing the trend. I have to say my two favorite are "In The Mix" (mixing patterns) and "She Comes in Colors". You can even mix these two different trends together with bright color patterns.

I want to share some of my favorite designs

Peter Som

Rachel Comey

Peter Jensen

Rachel Roy


These are my favorite because of how the combination of patterns and colors are beautifully done. Any girl can wear any of these and look flawless! Try it and let me know your thoughts!

P.S. Rachel Roy is one of my all time favorite designers. She is sophisticated and sweet, it really comes across in her designs and accessories. So if your looking for a mature sophisticated look, look her up and see if you can copy her looks.

Check out elle.com for more information on Spring and Fall trends!

Street Chic Daily: New York

Today from Elle we have this amazing Street Chic

Photo: Courtney D'Alesio

I cannot fathom how much I love this look. This look has many feminine flourishes such as polka dots, silk and scarfs which every girl can rock. Many people think that polka dots are out of date and too "girly". I know I did but that's only because I was using it incorrectly. You need to match it with something completely opposite. For instance in this look she has mixed the navy polka dot blouse with a gold pleated skirt that compliment each really well. Remember this: sometimes the the most unlikely patterns make good matching pairs.

Mando from Project Runway did just that and he ended up being on the top 2.




Go shopping and see if you can combine different patterns together to make a fabulous look!

Love,

Stylishly Yours.
