Hoppy Easter

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Sunday filled with love and blessings!

Easter definitely ranks in the top three for favorite annual holidays (Christmas and Independence Day being the other two). It's an amazing celebration, especially because we get to honor our Savior Jesus Christ who sacrificed His own life and freed us from the sinful chains! I love spending the holiday by going to church, going to visit my family for dinner, and of course watching adorable kids hunt for pastel eggs. 

What I also love about Easter is that it's held at the beginning of springtime. Though I'm more of a summer and fall loving girl, I appreciate spring with all my heart. The weather is mild, flowers are finally blooming, and my birthday takes place during this season! And of course, as a style blogger, I have to share a new favorite outfit for the springtime!

I just recently bought this new floral maxi dress and olive green crossbody bag from Francesca's, one of my top favorite retailers. They just opened up their spring style collection and they have a variety of pretty outfit pieces, it was hard to choose what to buy without spending too much money! Before trying the maxi dress on, I wasn't sure if it was going to look good on me. But then I tried it on and I felt really good in it! It's so darling, comfy, chic, and perfect for spring. I love the floral design, and my hot pink nails match perfectly with it! 

My mom found the bag while I was trying clothes on and told me to wear it with the dress. It matched so well, and the olive green color makes it match with a lot of other colors. Again, perfect for spring!

Of course, I can't leave out my killer bomber jacket from styleNmotion. It looks so spunky and classy with the dress. It also fits well for the occasion since it's still not quite warm outdoors. 

And you can never go wrong with chic black booties by Steve Madden. This entire outfit makes me feel like I'm ready to go to a Coachella festival!

10 Best Dressed at Coachella

Did anyone go to Coachella this past weekend? Don't tell me if you did, otherwise I may shed a few tears ... 

I'm just kidding, I actually don't even mind not going. Of course, it's something that I definitely want to attend someday, but this weekend was spent with my family and I could not turn that down, especially considering we we're celebrating Easter. Also some of the controversies that spark from this giant annual music festival seem insanely crazy, such as drugs and probably sex. I would never get involved in that kind of stuff, I just want to go to Coachella for the music, friendship, food, drinks, activities, celebrities, and of course, fashion!

I figured it has been a while since I last posted a Tuesday Ten, so I finally made some time during my busy schedule to write a blog about Coachella fashion. So now, I want to share my top ten picks for best dressed this past weekend! 

1.) Victoria Justice

Maxi dresses and fedoras for life! This outfit is the definition and example of music festival style, especially for Coachella. Is there any better way to put it? And the scarlet red color works so well with Victoria's dark hair and olive skin tone. Also her sunglasses, hat, and blue nail polish is all on point! Once a fashion icon, forever a fashion icon. 

2.) Jamie Chung

I LOVE the pineapple crop top, it's so adorable! I also really love her ripped jean shorts, yellow sandals, funky sunglasses, mini yellow purse, and oil-paper parasol. I'm not crazy about the earrings, but everything else about this outfit is super cute and perfect for a big music festival and for the upcoming summer season! 

3.) Lottie Moss

I've already talked about how off the shoulder outfits are trending in my last fashion blog. This year's Coachella was populated with these kinds of tops and dresses, and Lottie Moss's version is very lovely, chic, and kind of sporty (with the sneakers). My favorite part about this outfit is the black layered wrap skirt, and I also like the black fedora and hippie John Lennon-looking frames. 

4.) Olivia Culpo

There has not been one jumpsuit that I have seen and hated. This outfit is so cute and well-fitted. The striped pattern makes it so fun but not too out there or controversial unlike some of the Coachella outfits that girls wear. Her eye makeup also looks so beautiful with her bob cut, and the yellow cotton candy adds a sweet touch! Now I'm craving cotton candy ... 

5.) Emma Roberts

Emma has already tried every natural hair color and has managed to pull them all off super well. First brunette, then blonde, and now ginger. She just has that pretty face and taste in style that makes it work! I also really adore this dress, it's absolutely perfect for spring and summer. The shoes and sunglasses also look super chic for a chic weekend. 

6.) Selena Gomez

Selena is my current girl crush at the moment. She has such a great taste in style and is willing to try anything out, from elegant to rebellious. She can pull almost anything off, especially this cute blue and white daisy collared dress and Ash Footwear white sneakers. This is definitely an outfit that is mostly girly-girl with a little tomboy touch to it. 

7.) Ashley Graham    

I honestly didn't really know who Ashley Graham was until I watched her in a "73 Questions" segment for Vogue. While watching it, I fell in love with her confidence and personality, she's so cool and beautiful! And I think of all those exact qualities when I look at her fashion pictures from Coachella. I love the gold choker and gold metallic robe wrapped around the black off the shoulder dress, very much like Cleopatra! 

8.) Hailee Steinfeld

The short shirt dress and knee high boots look like a modern day rock star and the matching fashion pieces look pop star! The red lipstick also looks great with the outfit's color pattern, side ponytail, and neutral eye makeup. I think this look overall is so cool and fits super well on Hailee and with her sense of style! 

9.) Martha Hunt

I'm not a big fan of the see-through shirt, but I love the sequin shorts and gray/blue booties. Even though I don't like the top part that much, I think the lace white bralette that she chose to wear looks really stylish.

10.) Kendall Jenner

I have to be honest and say that I am not a fan of the Kardashians but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be Kendall. She definitely has the best taste in style, and she definitely proved it at the music festival this weekend with this chic outfit. Plus, she seems like the nicest and most fun to hang out with (especially since she's a member of the T-Swift Squad!)

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! 

Designed by: Jason Wu 

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! 

Designed by: Atelier Versace 

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. 

Designed by: Theia 

4.) Kristen Bell

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

Designed by: Zuhair Murad 

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. 

Designed by: Oscar del la Rena 

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! 

Designed by: Elsa Schiaparelli 

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! 

Designed by: Monique Lhuillier 

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! 

Designed by: Tony Ward 

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?! 

Designed by: Jenny Packham 

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!

Moral in Floral

Hey, guys! 

Sorry for the long delay, I was so busy studying for final exams all last week and taking them this week. I'm so exhausted, literally. So much studying and writing to do in so little time! But thankfully, now they are all over and I am officially on summer break! Which means ... more blog posts! Yay! 

On an even brighter, it is May! It's one of my favorite months. It's the the time of the year when spring really looks the most beautiful, no classes, the weather is a lot warmer, and it's my birthday month! I'm going to be turning twenty-years old in fifteen days, oh my word. 

I have a ton of blog ideas planned for May as well as this coming summer, along with the help of my newly blogger partner, Natalie Hillyer! (Go check out her website http://www.lollilu.space and subscribe) I'm super excited for these next few months that I have off, so let me start off with a fresh new fashion blog for May!

This is my Saraid Dress that I bought from Anthropologie during my trip to New York City. I figured it would be perfect for May because of the floral design. It was made by HD in Paris, which is one of the store's biggest fashion designers. I love the colors, it's a good fit size, it's the bottom is very flowly, and I bought it for a very good price of $40! 

I do not have any pictures of the shoes I am wearing, but I have on my black pumps from J. Crew. Depending on the occasion, any shoe that matches the colors or the event would be perfect. 

As for jewelry, I do not think you need to accessorize too much with this outfit. I usually go for smaller amounts of jewelry pieces. Earrings, not too big or crazy. Rings, very simple. Bracelets, none (due to very long sleeves). Necklaces, I think this is a good dress to wear one with. But a big sparkly and colorful necklace probably would not be the best option. I recommend a simple chain with a pendant, like the one I am wearing down below. It's gold and has my first initial on it. I got it from Urban Outfitters, and I wear it all the time! 

I feel so free after finishing this semester! College is tough, but I love it. Now I am ready for a nice, long summer break! So stay tuned for more posts to come! And remember, keep sparkling! :)

10 Best Dressed at the Golden Globes

I just watched the 73rd Annual Golden Globes this past weekend, and I thought it was awesome! I absolutely love watching award shows and seeing all of my favorite celebrities dressed in beautiful outfits and winning awards for their work in Hollywood. I watch almost every known award show in Hollywood to exist, unless none of my favorite celebrities aren't there which never really happens (there's like one million of them out there). It is on my bucket list to attend an award show like the Golden Globes or Oscars one day. It would be such a cool experience and a dream come true! 

In between classes and studying, I decided to write this week's top ten based on some of my favorite dresses from the show. These ten outfits brought much Hollywood glamour and magic to the red carpet! 

1.) Amy Adams

Words cannot describe how drop-dead gorgeous Amy Adams looked. She always dresses to impress on the red carpet, but this past weekend was probably when she impressed the most. She had her beautiful red hair all down while wearing a very beautiful Versace red/orange dress that was both sparkly and plain. It almost looked a little bit fiery! She looked very glamorous, and she's such a wonderful actress as well. 

2.) Lily James

Being the title character of Disney's Cinderella, she very well was the "belle of the ball"! Her cream Marchesa gown indeed commanded much attention, especially with the long cape in the back. It reminded me of my junior year prom dress! Lily James never fails to look like a real-life fairytale princess. 

3.) Brie Larson

I really loved Brie Larson's outfit. She wore a gold dress made by Calvin Klein. It looked super elegant and sexy with the little cut out parts. She also won the award for Best Actress in a Drama Film for her role in Room! I was hoping she was going to win the award. She seems really sweet and happy, so she very well deserved it. 

4.) Jennifer Lawrence

J-Law nevers fails to impress me nor anyone. She's come a long way with amazing success in her career. She's a perfect role model to have, and I've always looked up to her. I loved her red Dior Haute Couture dress and her cute short updo. My favorite part of her look; however, would have to be her gorgeous necklace which probably cost one million carats. It looked like a perfect touch of elegance and grace. Congrats on your win for Joy by the way, J-Law! 

5.) Katy Perry

I'm a huge fan of Katy Perry, both for her music and as a celebrity. So there was no doubt that I was going to include her in my top ten favorites. She rocked a pink Prada dress with her beautiful black hair in a half up-half down bump. I loved the shade of pink and how simple the dress was. I would definitely say she was "pretty in pink"! 

6.) Zoe Kazan

Zoe Kazan was in one of my favorite movies called What If, and since then I have been following her on newsfeed and social media. She's very cute, and she has a classy yet whimsical taste in fashion. I really liked her dress, made by Miu Miu, because it was very sophisticated and the stripes popped well. It looked very adorable on her, especially with her new haircut! 

7.) Jenna Dewan-Tatum

This woman is absolutely stunning, and I'm jealous that she's married to Channing Tatum. Her ballgown was made by Zuhair Murad and had a midnight blue tone to it. It really looked magical, it definitely was a perfect dress for her. 

8.) Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams looked so pretty and elegant in her strapless floral gown made by Lanvin. I love floral dresses, especially this one because red roses are my favorite flower! I wonder if she Ryan Gosling at the show, he sure would have thought she looked gorgeous! After all, she is his bird. 

9.) Malin Akerman

What a "sweetheart"! Malin Akerman, who I know from the movie The Proposal, wowed the red carpet in a sparkly and silver lace gown made by Reem Acra, which featured a corset-like top and tight skirt. She looked very beautiful and classy. She would look a lot like Elsa from Frozen if she had longer hair in a braid, smokey eyes, and pink lips! 

10.) Taraji P. Henson

Like Lily James, this gown also reminded me of my junior year prom dress! Taraji looked like a glamorous Greek goddess in her dress which was designed by Stella McCartney. She looked very sexy and sophisticated in her dress, especially with her dramatic cape in back. I also saw she handed out cookies after her win. I'm jealous, I want a cookie from a celebrity! 

BONUS: Emmy Rossum

I think Emmy Rossum is very cute and has a great taste in fashion. I had to include this one because I love how simple this ruby red gown, designed by Armani Prive, was. I also love how she let her long, brunette hair down in waves along with a retro lip and simple necklace (which probably cost just as much as Jennifer Lawrence's necklace). She looked very stunning, she pulls off red perfectly!
