Style Muse :: Gwen Stefani

This woman is a not of this world. She is talented in too many ways to mention, beautiful in an "old-Hollywood-glamour-punk-rock" kind of way that only she can be. A mother of 3 boys and wife to (another) rather handsome rockstar. She always looks effortlessly amazing, and perfectly styled. 

Whether she's polished and lady like, or wearing combat boots and a beanie- she nails it every time. 

Here are some of our favorite looks from #queenG Gwen Stefani...

(love that she wears the same pieces over again and again, but changes the look with different styling)

(fact: the best dressed at the Emmys this year)

(have you ever seen a baby bump look better than this? no, you haven't)

(before pink ombre was cool- she was married in the most epic wedding gown in all the land)

(so approachable. like, this could just be you going to lunch with friends...but it's Gwen, and it's fantastic)

Ms. Stefani...you rock our world. 

Best Dressed Emmy's 2014

Our top picks for the best looks at this year's Emmy awards...

Well done, ladies. 

Trend Lovin

Here are 5 of our favorite trends happening right now...

1. BOYFRIEND JEANS (AKA MOM JEANS)

Love the slouchy comfy look and feel of a good boyfriend cut jean. They can definitely become frumpy looking if they are paired with the wrong shoes or top. Wear them with heels, sandals, or a ballet flat. 

2. ORANGE LIPSTICK

A bright punchy lip can save your whole day. Poppy orange is a nice change from the dramatic look of red. It's brighter, lighter, and more fun!

3. KIMONOS

Dressed up, dressed down, over a dress, over jeans, over shorts... however it's worn, it looks amazing. 

My personal favorite kimono right now is THIS ONE

4. OVERALLS

I am all about the overalls. May they live on forever and ever. It's like putting on the 90's. 

Wear them with heels, and a fitted top for a polished look, or over your favorite graphic tee or tank and sandals to keep casual. 

5. PINK OMBRE HAIR

This one's for the blondes. Subtle pastel pink through platinum blonde is so gorgeous. It's so feminine and a little edgy. I dare you to do it. 

Hairspiration // Long Bob

My favorite hair style right now is the long bob, or "lob" if you're hip.

It looks young and fresh to chop off some length. 

Lob, we love you.

Style Muse // Ginnifer Goodwin

This month's Style Muse is the lovely Ginnifer Goodwin.

Ginnifer's style is always spot on, for me. She always manages to find a perfect balance between soft femininity and strong tomboy charm.

Her red carpet looks are always glamorous yet simple. She's never over the top or loud in her style. she remains classy and polished and makes it look totally effortless. She knows how to dress for her body and never wears anything unflattering.  Her street style is approachable and classic.  She could be the queen of #iwokeuplikethis 

Her hair and makeup always compliment her clothing perfectly. No one rocks a pixie hair cut like she does. 

She nails it every time, and I would gladly take her hand-me-downs. 

Ginnifer G...we adore you.

spring beauty

every spring it's always nice to freshen up! fresh wardrobe pieces, accessories, a good old spring cleaning in your home, and some fresh beauty products too!

take a look at our top 7 picks for a fresh look for spring!

1- KITTEN EYESHADOW BY STILA - we love this light shimmery eyeshadow for everyday wear. it's nude in color, with and extra shimmery finish to highlight your eyes without looking unnatural. It's been a staple in our makeup kits for years.

2- NATURAL GLOW BY JERGENS- OK, here in Seattle, we do not see the sun from November through May. No but really. So, a nice sunless bronzer is kind of a necessity around here! This one is light and doesn't stink. It actually smells pretty good! And, it doesn't leave that orange, carrot-like color on your skin. It layers nicely, and gives you a little sun kissed glow when you haven't been sun kissed in a really, really long time. 

3- ESSIE HIDE AND GO CHIC NAIL POLISH -Love this hue! So fun for spring! 

4- KAI PERFUME-I first discovered Kai at a resort in Scotsdale Arizona. I had never noticed it before, but I have been in love with it ever since. It's a really light fragrance with subtle gardenia scents. I am really sensitive to strong perfumes but this one has never bothered me. It's a great spring/summer perfume.

5- CAVIAR CC HAIR CREAM- This stuff is amazing. So good for restoring hair after the long harsh  winter months. It's fabulous. 

6- STILA LIPSTICK in VALENTIA- We are all about a bright lip, and orange is where it's at! It's one of our favorite beauty trends right now, and Stila makes a fantastic lipstick!

7- URBAN DECAY MASCARA- Color + conditioner = gorgeous lashes, baby!
