#OSCARFASHION
Feb 29, 2016One of my favorite times of the year is when the red carpet rolls out, the cameras flash and some of our most beloved actors and actresses pose in some of the most beautiful and sometimes surprising looks for awards season.
Last night's Oscars did not disappoint. From classic silhouettes to interesting cut outs, the red carpet did not disappoint. Here are some of my favorite looks from last night and a few wild cards that made me smile and say, "Kuddos!".
LADIES:
-Jennifer Lawrence. Her Dior Haute Couture dress with a lingerie inspired design and Chopard jewels looked effortless and romantic.
-Cate Blanchett has always been a style risk taker, so it was so fun to see her in such a delicate and feminine piece last night. Her Armani Prive dress was absolutely stunning.
-Naomi Watts had such a fun look last night. The rich blues and purples were so perfectly highlighted against her porcelain skin and blonde hair. But then again, how can you not stand out when you are wearing Armani Prive.
RISK TAKER
-Amy Poehler is my all time favorite #girlboss and she managed to make it even better with this intricate design by Andrew GN in an unexpected silhouette. LOVE!
The men didn't disappoint either. However, I think we can all sum up last night's event with one actor who finally won an Oscar and wore a tux like a boss. Our man, Leonardo DiCaprio. Enjoy ladies :) And yes, I included a picture with Kate Winslet because I secretly want them to live happily ever after together. :)
Til next time

#OOTD
Apr 21, 2015One of the perks of my owning SHOP WLB is that I can experiment with different looks and tap into parts of my own style I hadn't experienced before. That's the beauty of style, isn't it? We can become someone else entirely, or continue to develop a signature look with pieces we love.
Today I felt a little boho by way of the 70s. It must have been all of those Coachella pics I saw over the last couple of weeks. Since I'm in the Midwest, this look is my tribute to those festival rockers. Since cut offs and midriffs are probably not the best look for me while I'm working (hey, if you can, go for it!), this is my own way of looking professional, stylish and festival inspired.
Hat - Wool Hat in tan with black removable ribbon. Found here: http://www.shoptiques.com/products/wool-hat-2
Liverpool Denim Jacket - ladies, invest in a solid denim jacket!!! While this one sold out fast, you can look anywhere for this piece. Colors, patterns, textured dyes - these all create a denim look that is YOU!
Tunic - is it gray or sky blue? Well, that depends on the color palette. If I pair this tunic with black, the gray comes through. Pair with browns and a little icy blue begins to emerge. Love when that happens!
Khaki Jeggings - army green is a great look for Spring and Summer! These are my favorite Liverpool brand, and have been in my closet now for 3 seasons. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Jewelry subtle but with a punch of fun - Three horseshoe shaped pendants with grey stone and tassel, all offset by gold.
Aid Through Trade Roll On bracelets and my trusty Michael Kors Rose Gold Watch.
Don't forget the RED LIP!!!
Hope this inspires a new look for you all!
love-Amanda
