Wedding Wednesday

weddingwednesday1

I came across this picture of a bride and groom in and emerald suit the other day on Pinterest. That uniquely colored suit caught my eye and then I just wanted to see more. I clicked the link to see the rest of the gallery for that wedding and it wasn’t quite what I had envisioned. So, of course, it became my inspiration for this week’s Wedding Wednesday and I created it based off of what I had envisioned when I first saw this adorable bride and groom.

The 2014 Emmy Red Carpet

Award Shows are back! You know what that means….our Red Carpet Favorites!! Yay! Here were our favorites from last nights Emmys:

emmyredcarpet1

Sarah Hayland:  I thought Sarah’s look was stylish, elegant, and age appropriate.  I loved how she matched a timeless formal full skirt with a trendy crop top.  It is an update and a nod to the days when Carolina Herrera was wearing a collared shirt with the formal skirt.  I think Sarah is really serious about her career and last night she showed that she wants to play with the big kids and is here to stay.  And clearly she got the emmy memo – wear coral!

Lizzy Caplan: I absolutely loved the neckline and the cut outs and on this dress.  Initially I thought the white train would be better black but I definitely warmed up to it.  Every now and again it’s good shake things up a bit and do something a little out of the ordinary.  Wouldn’t you agree?!

Heidi Klum:  The whole look from head to toe was fab and fresh.  The dress fit perfectly.  It was simple with a statement.  I love that she wore her hair down and wavy and that her makeup looked natural.  Most of the time, Heidi’s award show looks are not so hot and look like she is trying too hard.  She is so stunningly beautiful that she doesn’t need much to wow us.  She nailed it last night. And she got the coral memo.

I loved all three looks because they were both classy and edgy at the same time!

Claire Daines:  What a gorgeous, vibrant red!  She just pops in this Givenchy gown!  I love the lace cutouts that carry around to a sheer lace back.  With a jeweled neckline like that, you can keep the jewelry simple… which is exactly what she did!  Low maintenance! Loved the whole look… from head to toe!

Camila Alves: I’m such a sucker for sheer cut outs!!  And they can totally be trashy!  But Camila pulls it off in this white and sheer Zuhair Murad gown.  The silhouette of the dress was timeless yet the design was edgy.  I also love seeing hair down on the red carpet!  Camila always looks stunning.

Sarah Hyland:  Copy and Paste what Emily said right here!  I couldn’t agree with her more!  Loved the whole look!  Including the top knot!  Fun fact: She couldn’t fit into her car when it was time to leave!  She tweeted, “I’m taking an uber SUV to the #Emmys because my car was too small for my dress…,”

Cat Deely: I think Cat looked beautiful. Most of the time I don’t like what she is wearing. But, I loved this one her. I probably would have done something about that large messy bow. But the colors are simply stunning.

Lena Headey: I love this asymmetrical, one shoulder, textured gown. I like that she kept the look pretty simple with the jewels. Her make up and hair was spot on. And the shoes go nicely too. I think I would like to have seen her spice it up a tad with the shoes, but the ones she chose work and let the dress take the spot light. So, I guess I can’t be too picky.

January Jones: I love how bold and edgy her look is. It’s different and unique. I love the bold lip and how perfectly the edgy shoes go with that edgy ballgown.

 

Some of our favorite moments last night were Aaron Paul’s speech because he was so sweet and humble and we are obsessed with Breaking Bad and also seeing Halle Berry present because we got our nails done earlier that day and she was there too (she chose light pink nail polish)!!

We can’t wait until the next award show!

Same Page Monday

Another Monday, and another Same Page Monday…

1.  LA got a little bit sweeter last week with the arrival of my little Sweet Caroline!!  She is back for her junior year at Pepperdine.

Seeing this girl and her car on my street is… THE BEST THING EVER!!

I can’t wait to have more dates like these with my little sissy….

(Naturally, our first stop was Lemonade in Brentwood!)

2.  We have been busy bees running around trying to get Caroline all set up in her apartment!  Patty came along for the adventure too! Us three girls have been all over LA… Ikea trips, Living Spaces, Ashley Furniture, Home Goods trips, mattress shopping, multiple Target runs, DIY projects that involve trips to Home Depot and Michaels, two flea market runs… and much, much…. much more!!

We were going to keep count of how many Target runs we did but there were so many that we already lost count!!

This is how we rooollllllll at Target…….

3.  This was my Target FAIL.  Wore my Target Skirt to Target… that’s the worst!

4. No surprise here but we are obsessed with the new Taylor Swift song, Shake it off!  We are even more obsessed with her music video for it!  I really hope it has made it onto the Cardio playlist at Tracy today! I just want to get up and dance when I hear it… and I’m not the only one…

5.  Last week, Emily and I had some mind shifting moments.  At the root of both of those moments was the reminder of the importance of compassion from everyone, everyday.  The entertainment industry, when used in the right way, can be so powerful.  It could influence a mind shift in the world towards compassion.  We LOVE Ellen Degeneres because she is an amazing example of this…  love, kindness, compassion and happiness.  The CEO and co-chairman of Dreamworks, Stacey Snider, has taken on the Kind Campaign (started by Pepperdine Alum Lauren Paul.. Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad’s wife) and with her influence in the industry she has helped to raise money and awareness for this cause.  The Kind Campaign is an anti-bullying campaign… they started the “You CAN sit with us!” movement.

Last night, I saw this video from Britians Got Talent (it aired earlier this summer and they were already on the Ellen Show).  I just loved everything about this.  These boys used their gifts/passion to connect with and spread an important message to the world.  It is something the world needs and craves!  Watch…

6. Ivy got a haircut.  She hates it.

7.  I didn’t watch the VMA’s last night.  What did I miss?

8.  The Emmys are tonight! Yay!  We will be posting our favorite red carpet looks tomorrow!

9.  Ok, that’s it!  Peace out.
