celeb street style during spring break

Hello everyone, I hope you all are having a safe and wonderful start to spring break! Mad Men has released another collection exclusivly for Banana Republic Spring 2012. The costume designer for Mad Men runs this collection and everything looks as if it's directly from the show. If you are not familiar with Mad Men, it airs on AMC, and it takes place in New York City in the 1960's and revolves around men working in an office (think skinny ties, men driven work place and secretaries in their finest attire. The show presented a fall collection for Banana Republic last year and it was a top seller. The line consisted of fitted tops and dresses with wallpaper prints and the mens offered the iconic skinny ties and tailored suits. Here are some of my favorite looks from this years collection!

The just above the knee hem length and sleeveless top would be great for lunch with friends or a garden party. The coral color is great for spring and the cinching around the waist gives the illusion of curves.

Hunger Games Premiere

Last night, the highly anticipated film, The Hunger Games, permiered in Los Angeles and the stars came out to represent. These are my favorite looks from that night.

Her sun kissed locks with her tinted tan go well with the metallic gold and I love the effortless looking updo which is a cool contrast to the intricate dress.

I love how they kept her makeup simple except for the red lip which gave the look a splash of color. I'm getting a sort of Audrey Hepburn vibe from this because of the sleek updo and the old hollywood look of the dress.


courtesyphoto:www.gettyimages.com Levin Rambin looked like a modern day Jessica Rabbit with the old hollywood hairstyle, deep neckline and ruby red dress. I love how everything except the dress is kept simple because it shows that she wears the dress and not the other way around.


courtesyphoto: http://www.gettyimages.com/ It's the luck of the irish for Jaqueline Emerson. The drapery around the silohette fits her like a glove and the loose curls completes the laid back bohemian feel. my only problem is that this look is a little boring without acessories and a simple gold necklace would have been great for the bare neckline.

Very age appropriate and the all over sequins is cool with the how the shades of green get darker around the hem line. The heeks aren't too high and the sandals are cute. also the pink lip is a great shade for spring.

Casey's Favorite Things

Hi everyone, so since we are in the middle of season limbo since all the fashion weeks are over, and awards season is done, I thought I would treat you all to some things. To be more descriptive, my favorite things. No, it's not like Oprah where you all get extravagant gifts (sorry!) , and I'm sure not going to sing about it like Julie Andrews via Sound of Music. Nevertheless, I love sharing and hopefully inspiring others to persue the great things about life. Here are a few of my favorite things which make me feel not so sad ( Soud of Music reference, again for the non music buffs).


courtesyphoto: http://www.pacifica.com/ Okay, I am addicted to Sephora and I cannot praise them enough for introducing me to this wonderful gem. Not only is this lotion, it's 100% VEGAN lotion. which means no animals were harmed or used in the making of this treasure. Pacifica not only makes lotions, but candles, perfumes, soaps and much more! Blood Orange and Mediterranian are my favorites becasuse they have that exotic, tropical scent but its not too strong and the lotion is amazing!

This is my favorite workout because it takes my favorite workout of yoga up a notch. Theres two levels: beginners and advanced and I have done yoga for 6 years and this gives me more of a challenge. It doesnt say how many times to do this so I usually mix it about 3 times a week with cardio on the treadmill to stretch myself out. She's tough but makes the workout fun and you break a good sweat.

courtesyphoto: http://www.philosophy.com/ My mom and I are huge fans of philosophy and not only because of their realistic scents. The bottles either have really inspiring messages or with the food inspired scents, ingredients to make those foods. The packaging is cute too because they have vintage photos and have cool names for each product. The bath soap can also be used as a shampoo or bubble bath which makes it practical for traveling with it's conviienient bottle size.

courtesyphoto: http://www.fredflare.com/ I get a lot of laughs when I wear this, but I own and use this sleepmask because it's a replica of the one Audrey Hepburn used in Breakfast at Tiffanys. I feel like Holly Golightly when I wake up in the mornings and feels chic as soon as I get ready for the day. courtesyphoto: http://www.chobani.com/ This is my go-to snack because it is all natrual and just tastes delicious and guilt free! Blood Orange is my favorite flavor because I love the tangycitrus with the "what would have been bland on it's own" greek yogurt.
