I cannot stand snakes, ornamental or otherwise, so for me the dress is a NO WAY. However, both ladies manage to make it look chic. They each paired the long sleeved dress with black pumps, but I will give Jennifer the edge with her updo that showcased the dress’ main feature. Her curves are also hard to ignore.

My vote goes to Jlo! Who do you think wore it best?

PRINTED TROUSERS WITH CONTRASTING WAIST – 79.90 USD – ZARA

You may remember the post I wrote several weeks ago about these incredible trousers by Zara?  I actually did purchase them…and they fit PERFECTLY, which is always nice when ordering online. Printed pants really are a must-have for this season–even if you don’t want to go with a bright floral or print.  I chose the more subdued black and white damask, and I adore them–especially with the black tuxedo stripe down the sides.

I’m really shocked by the “outrage” over KStew’s choice in pants.  She is the new face of Balenciaga for one thing, and secondly?  They are perfect.  She’s young and can absolutely pull off wearing brightly-colored pants with panache.

I say, HIT!

This Australian line of sunglasses offers something for everyone in a countless amount of colors, shapes, styles and varieties. And with a majority of the collection retailing for under $40, these funky sunnies are a steal!

This celebrity find is a hit!

Lourdes, Georgia May and Madonna for ‘Material Girl’ – Exclusively at Macy’s

“To be handpicked by Madonna and Lola as the new face of Material Girl is truly amazing. I’ve always admired Madonna’s style and I’m thrilled to be working with them,” Jagger said, in a statement to WWD.

 

Georgia for Rimmell London

Miss Jagger is certainly no stranger to the modeling world.  She’s been featured modeling for Rimmel Cosmetics as well as Hudson Jeans.  (Previous celebrity faces of the Material Girl line include Kelly Osbourne and Taylor Momsen.)

We can certainly see where Georgia gets her exotic looks, can’t we?

Evolastin™ is the world’s first and only aesthetic procedure to deliver controlled energy directly into the deep dermis to stimulate natural production of new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Unlike traditional energy based alternatives whose results are centered primarily on ‘tightening,’ evolastin breaks new ground in aesthetics as the only aesthetic procedure to achieve a three-dimensional improvement to the quality, topography and volume of the skin.

How does it work? The procedure works by delivering bi-polar radio-frequency energy directly into the dermis tissue using insulate microneedles. The needles are insulated up to the tip to ensure that the energy is only delivered where it needs to be, bypassing thermal injury to the skin’s face. The targeted procedure stimulates the skin’s natural healing response resulting in regeneration of the new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to naturally restore volume, topography and overall skin quality.

Unlike most outpatient procedures only a single treatment is recommended and downtime is minimal. Depending on locations, the procedure costs $3,000 – $5,000 and full results are seen in approximately 6 months.

See more details on their website. Have you tried the Evolastin™ procedure? Tell us your experience!

Maybe now is the time to try out that BB cream we’ve been hearing about! What will you be buying? Tell us!

Gianvito Rossi’s Bow Tie Sandal – $775 – Exclusively at Barneys

I would love to wear these little pieces of art with Rachel Zoe’s  white suit–how Bianca Jagger would that be?

Rachel Zoe’s White Suit

Lovely white femininity mixed with a masculine and structured tailoring is always a fantastic combination. Oh, and check out Style.com for plenty of sale prices on Rachel Zoe’s collections.  (I almost wish I hadn’t found that site…uh-oh.)

Diane Kruger in Giambattista Valli

From the cool, transparent and fresh hue to the fit to the movement of this gown nothing is out of place.  Diane’s sleek hair and minimal jewelry only add to the airy drama of this Giambattista Valli gown.

I believe Diane Kruger has raised the Red Carpet bar incredibly high.  I’m not sure even Angelina Jolie will be able to top this look.  Simply breathtaking from every angle.

Brava!

Before I come off as sounding like a complete elitist, this was my very first time attending an opera.  For my birthday, my husband gave me tickets for the two of us to see Madama Butterfly at McCaw Hall in Seattle.  I was a little nervous, sure, but I knew that the opera is a pretty fancy affair, and should dress accordingly.

$55.00 1961 Vintage Yellow Chiffon Dress – eBay

My husband wore a simple yet elegant black tuxedo, with a bow tie he tied himself (none of those pre-tied deals for him!), and I was finally given an opportunity to wear a vintage (circa 1961) yellow chiffon dress which I bought last year.  I actually found this dress on eBay and bought it for $55.00!!  It’s in pristine condition; every crystal and pearl embellishment around the waist was perfect.  There wasn’t a single snag or stain on this dress, which was such a thrill to behold when I opened the carefully wrapped parcel.  I paired it with black velvet hidden platform heels, a black faux-fur wrap from White House Black Market,   which I bought probably 7 years ago.  I wore my hair in a simple, high ponytail, and get this–I used 3 faux pearl elastic bracelets to wrap around the ponytail holder.  (Pretty clever, huh?)

Enough with the hipster-ness, already!

My point here is, dress for the occasion–I’m talking to you, The Too Casual Hipster Seattle Chick.
