Flutter Girl

Is it Thanksgiving break yet?! 

For real though, I'm so excited to go home for a five day weekend with my family, including my sister who I haven't seen in a while. There's so many traditions during the break that I love, including seeing a new movie (either Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or Moana hopefully!), watching the Macy's Day Parade, a heavy delicious meal, and getting all decorated for Christmas! If there's one thing that is difficult about a holiday break, it's picking out an outfit to wear for the big day. 

Usually I just go for a fancy dress that I can't wear too often, unless there's a few non-dress outfits that I want to wear instead. But this year, I found the perfect dress! 

I got this dress from J. Crew, and it was originally around a hundred dollars. Luckily, it was on sale when I bought it and it was eighty dollars. Still expensive, but totally worth it! It's a flutter dress, with a gray-colored ponte knit material, grosgrain ribbon details, and a flirty skirt to bring out a feminine look that's perfect for a holiday party. I also love the plain black back of the top part! 

For shoes, I always have my go-to classic pumps from J. Crew to go perfectly with the dress. If it's a little cold that day, simple black tights would also be a great match for the look. 

And a hot pink wallet from Kate Spade, because why not? Makes the color-tone of the outfit pop a bit! 

When it comes to makeup and hair, I would just go for a natural look with natural eyeshadow, eyeliner, and maybe a bright or dark lip shade. Curly hair is also great too, but if you want to try out a different hairstyle that is perfectly okay as well. You can do whatever you want with your nail polish, whether you want to keep them clear or paint them the same color of your lipstick. 

I wouldn't wear a lot of jewelry either, at least no necklaces with this kind of dress. Chandelier-like earrings would be perfect, and a few rings and simple bracelets.  

I hope this was helpful for anyone who is having a hard time trying to find the perfect holiday outfit, and I really hope everyone eats lots of turkey this year! Happy Thanksgiving!

10 Best Looks at the Emmys

Did anyone watch the Emmy Awards this past weekend? I watched it, for a little bit. I got to see a few of my favorite celebrities present and win, but it was mostly the following day I decided to catch up to all the buzz from the show. I don't want to spread any rumors, but it has it that quite many famed human beings managed to slay the red carpet big time! 

I almost didn't write this blog for my Tuesday Ten, but then I realized all the other award show posts from earlier this year. That made me realize that I should continue these types of posts, especially for readers who enjoy reading about fashion and celebrities. So for my top ten weekly picks, here are my favorites from the Emmy Awards red carpet: 

1.) Priyanka Chopra

One word: FLAWLESS! Just look at the color and the way the bottom piece twirls, it's so lovely! It seriously looks like something you would see in a beauty product commercial or magazine! It's both an elegant and playful look, and her red lipstick makes the look even more stunning. She definitely dominated the red carpet big time!

2.) Emilia Clarke

Other than scoring three golden statuettes, she totally scored the red carpet with an elegant peachy gown. She certainly proved to be a champion with her fashion sense and talents, you go girl!

3.) Holly Taylor

You may by now know that I have a thing for white dresses, and not just because they remind me of weddings. I think it's a beautiful color, especially in dresses on the red carpet. I love the goddess look along with the sparkly neckline, shoes, and elegant updo twist. Bright and bold.

4.) Kristen Bell

Floral designs in a ballgown? Hell yes indeed! It looks like Mother Nature arrived into Hollywood!

5.) Michelle Dockery

I happen to find this dress very well interesting. The fabric material looks frozen thick and manages to stay still even as she makes different poses and struts. I definitely love the black and white color combination, very classic. Michelle pulls off this fashion statement tremendously perfect, especially with her gorgeous dark hair.

6.) Claire Danes

Claire Danes never fails to stun the red carpet, just like earlier this year when she wore a beautiful light-up Cinderella ballgown. And now she's going for a more Belle look with a dazzling golden gown. She literally glowed from head to toe, including her beautiful blonde locks!

7.) Sarah Hyland

It seems as though Emma Watson's look at this year's Met Gala inspired many! It sure is a sexy and classy look, and Sarah Hyland certainly proves that with this outfit design. I also love how the light top splits into two parts and flows toward the floor, super graceful. I hope to see more looks with pants like this for more red carpet events!

8.) Felicity Huffman

I love the shimmery and floral design of the gown. It looks like something Kate Middleton would wear, perfectly fit for royalty!

9.) Ellie Kemper

I just think this lady is absolutely adorable, I mean look at her! Her fiery hair matches well with the simple mustard yellow gown, along with her super down to earth attitude. What's not to love about her?!

10.) Kerry Washington

To pull off a baby bump in a black cutout is very bold, definitely attracts the paparazzi's attention. The September cover InStyle magazine woman look marvelous and brave when entering the awards ceremony, her confidence totally adds beauty to her look. I also how well she can pull off a perm, she looks fabulous!
