Golden Globes Fav: Sarah Hyland

Monday January 16, 2012

Sarah Hyland Dolce & GabbanaSarah Hyland Dolce & GabbanaLet's be honest. The best part of awards shows is the red carpet. I get so much inspiration from the hair, makeup, jewelry and gowns. I could care less who wins that little gold statue... just tell me what everyone's wearing, and I'm satisfied.

I have three favorite looks from last night's Golden Globes: Sarah Hyland, Shailene Woodley and Amber Riley.

After last night's Golden Globes, Sarah Hyland of "Modern Family" should be a poster girl for mermaid gowns. Her Dolce & Gabbana dress was perfectly fitted to her figure, with a tiny hint of a flare at the bottom. The nude-hued gown was actually textured with lace, and cinched with a daring black lace sash that gave off a vintage vibe.

Sarah's black eyeliner matched with a brown and beige smoky eye perfectly matched her gown. She kept her lips simple with nude lipstick.

What do you think of Sarah's look? Tomorrow, we'll check out Shailene and Amber.

Steal Demi Lovato's Style

Monday January 2, 2012

Demi LovatoI think 2012 is going to be the year Demi Lovato comes into her own, style-wise. When she was touring with the Jonas Brothers and starring on "Sonny With a Chance," her red carpet style was definitely more teeny-bopper, with lots of hats, eclectic fabrics and innocent-looking makeup. Now that she's broken off from her squeaky-clean image and redefined herself with her hit single "Unbroken," her style has skyrocketed into the diva category- in a good way! Lately she's been sporting dark lips in a rainbow of reds, wearing floor-length gowns that show off her gorgeous curves, and throwing a bit of her rocker edge into her style, with plenty of black leather and metallic jewelry. To see how you can copy Demi Lovato's style for your dance, check out her signature looks: Steal Demi Lovato's Style for Prom.

Unique Ways to Ask a Girl to Prom

Saturday December 31, 2011

Prom Date BlissFor some girls, a simple "will you go to prom with me?" might not fly. Even if she's already your girlfriend, you might want to flatter her with a cute prom proposal. I'm sure you've thought of giving her flowers, decorating her locker or even serenading her with a song on the quad. If you're looking for something cute and different, why not write her a note in a foreign language and make her translate it? Cook her a meal and create an intimate dining experience at her usual lunch table? Or burst through a huge banner that says "Prom With Me?" football-team style? Or create a custom candy bar or soda label that asks her to prom? If it sounds like a lot of work... it is. But, it'll be totally worth it when you get to spend prom night together! Check out these ideas:
