MTV Movie Awards Best Dressed

April 14, 2014

Another day, another awards show happening down the block from where I live. But hey, that's LA for you.

While my mom and I did some pre-birthday shopping at the Americana in Glendale, the trendy stars of film and television gathered at the Nokia Theatre at LA Live for the 2014 MTV Movie Awards. It was hosted by Conan O'Brien so I'm sure it was funny, and I think people win things, but let's be real, the awards show isn't about the accolades but rather the fun of it all. And this attitude was well reflected on the red carpet, where stars donned colorful and bold looks for the evening. 

I love seeing celebrities attend these more casual award shows where they can take some fashion risks. Let's see if they paid off!

Arden Cho | Pia Mia Perez | Rocsi Diaz | Zendaya | Iggy Azalea
The ladies of the red carpet embraced spring colors, with dazzling whites and vibrant pastels that also ruled the Spring 2014 runways. Arden Cho and Rocsi Diaz looked absolutely radiant in white dresses that featured fun cutouts.

Iggy Azalea has proved herself to be quite the fashion lover, and I'm proud of her for taking a risk in John Galliano. The proportions of the look were pretty hard to pull off and I don't know if it was the best choice for Azalea, but I like that she tried it out.

Also, I don't know who Pia Mia Perez is and I don't know what her usual style is, but I'm kind of digging her purple gangsta glam get-up. This seems to be one of the most polarizing looks of the night, but I for one don't hate it.

Lupita Nyong'o | Holland Roden | Shailene Woodley | Rihanna | Victoria Justice
As you all know I have a total style crush on Lupita Nyong'o and her choice for last night's event was no exception. She killed it in a colorful Chanel dress and I loved her electric blue pumps and matching eyeshadow.

Holland Roden and Shailene Woodley both rocked summer leather looks. I love Holland's simple nude Salvatore Ferragamo dress and the way she played up her shoes and lips. Fresh and fun. As for Shailene, she looked equal parts sweet and edgy in an olive green Balmain outfit. The little peek of skin was cute and not a bit too much. Also, I think Shailene wins for best shoes. Those things are awesome.

Rihanna is no stranger to best dressed lists but I find that I often waver between loving and hating her style. Tonight she was totally glam in Ulyana Sergeenko couture. The sweeping silk robe screamed old Hollywood, but the playful bodysuit beneath kept the look young, sexy, and appropriate for an event that is all about having fun.

I also thought Victoria Justice was one of the best dressed in a stunning Versace Atelier mini dress. The pink is perfect for MTV and the detail on the dress is stunning. I also loved how she kept her styling to a minimum so the dress could do the talking. 

Who was your best dressed of the evening and who should have gone home to change?

The Girls of 2013 - No. 4

December 23, 2013


It's no secret that I've developed a bit of a style crush on it girl Holland Roden over the course of 2013. How can you not, though? Roden is young and having fun with fashion, and knows how to combine California cool with Hollywood glamour.

As everyone's favorite Prada-toting, archaic Latin-reading queen bee on MTV's Teen Wolf, of course Roden's on-screen persona is known for her stylish garb, but in real life Holland Roden is just as fashionable whether she is just walking around in West LA or strutting down the red carpet in a gown.

Roden made several front-row appearances at New York Fashion Week back in September and I'm sure she'll be back for all the fall collections. Her gorgeous red hair and penchant for bold color are two of her style trademarks. But besides that, Roden isn't afraid to experiment with style and dress up a little. The Naeem Khan dress-with-pants-underneath (center outfit, above) that she rocked at the VMAs this year was a style risk that paid off and landed her on many best-dressed lists.

Teen Wolf is returning soon and has already been renewed, so we will certainly be seeing a lot of Miss Holland Roden in 2014. Can't wait to see what she wears!

Teen Choice Awards 2013 Style

August 12, 2013

I didn't tune in to last night's Teen Choice Awards but I always love seeing what Hollywood's freshest talents wear to the event. Here's my thoughts on the looks that graced the blue carpet.


Chloe Moretz is one of my favorite young Hollywood stars. She always wears fun, age-appropriate fashions that always flatter her and reflect her fun personality. Here she wears a Christopher Kane dress with primary-colored accents. I love the off-the-shoulder silhouette and the bright colors.


Bella Thorne (left) and Lily Collins both wore designs from Fausto Puglisi's Resort 2014 collection. The palm tree print is festive and fun for the teen summer bash, but I prefer Bella's look to Lily's. I rarely dislike Lily's outfits, but I'm not a big fan of her top or hair on this occasion.


I absolutely love Bridget Mendler's fun printed mini by Kelly Wearstler. It is totally fun and youthful without trying too hard to be sexy, which is a problem many teen actresses face with their clothing decisions. And I love her beachy curls; basically, this whole look is a win.


Pretty Little Liars stars Ashley Benson and Lucy Hale both went for midriff-baring looks; Benson's by Armani and Hale's by Houghton. I think Lucy looks absolutely lovely (as usual) and everything about this look is perfect for the event and for summer. Ashley's look, eh, not my favorite, but certainly better than last year's. I like all the components on their own, just not as an outfit.


I immediately fell in love with this dress from Stella McCartney's Resort 2014 collection and love how Kerry Washington wore it. The dress is fun and playful and perfect for the event, and I love her side-swept bangs and her red lips that play off of the red lips on her dress. Perfection!


The stars of Teen Wolf were as fashion-forward as ever. Crystal Reed wore a black and white print peplum top and tailored pants by CH Carolina Herrera that was sleek and stylish. Her costar Holland Roden, whose style I always adore, wore a sunny yellow lace dress by Notte by Marchesa. Both girls rocked red lips and fabulous hairdos, and both look absolutely rockin'.

What looks did you love the most and which ones would you have changed?

Girl Crush: Holland Roden

July 27, 2013

Roll your eyes at my trashy teen-scifi-drama-watching ways, but I am totally obsessed with MTV's Teen Wolf. It's got everything: romance, mystery, drama, magic, plenty of shirtless men...and my personal favorite, Lydia Martin.


You wouldn't think that MTV (a network I usually associate with Jersey Shore and Lauren Conrad) would be responsible for creating one of the best Queen Bee characters since Blair Waldorf (God how I miss that show) but Teen Wolf's Lydia is absolutely fabulous. When you first meet Lydia, she seems to be your typical High School Popular Girl, complete with fabulous wardrobe, lacrosse team captain boyfriend, and less popular boys pining all over her. Another mean girl to serve as some snarky comic relief and the object of the loyal sidekick's affections.

But then you find out Lydia is like, smart, like really smart, genius IQ level smart. And suddenly she's not just helping BFF Allison pick out dresses for the winter formal, she's helping the gang solve murder mysteries and creating awesome chemical concoctions to fight back against werewolf villans.

All while looking seriously fabulous and never losing her Queen Bee sass. Oh, and she might be a druid/witch/some sort of awesome magical being, so I keep hoping she can wear super awesome witchy clothes mixed with her Chloe handbags.

The actress behind Lydia Martin, Holland Roden, is just as cool as her on-screen persona. She seems really sweet and has a fabulous sense of style. Her clothes are fun, fresh, and youthful, and don't even get me started on those fabulous strawberry tresses.
