Look of the Week
I pinned this look late Saturday night (early Sunday morning?) and am still thinking about it. It's easy to recreate and great for that transition between winter and spring. I always have trouble finding something to wear in the spring- is it going to be too cold for this, is this outfit too bright? This look is perfect.

Wardrobe Rehab
Ok I lied, here's a post :)
I'll admit it, I have a huge problem when it comes to re-wearing items in my closet. We hear it again and again that we should buy pieces that you can re-wear often with multiple pieces in your closet. I though, absolutely hate wearing a piece of clothing again until 2-3 weeks later. I think reasons for this maybe, a) I'm too lazy to think of a completely different but equally as fashionable way to style the piece again (I have a few go-to looks for certain pieces of clothing) and b) I don't like "wasting" a certain outfit for random occasions. I like to wear my best outfits where people can see them. Anyone else have these problems?
These are major issues I'm trying to work through; so let's call it wardrobe rehab. My current fashion practices are not very economical and and are leaving my outfit choices stale. My goal for fall is to buy pieces that will work with the clothing already in my closet and that can be styled and worn often. Pretty basic, right? Here are some pieces of clothing that can be worn together and with clothing already in my closet:

Favorite Looks of the Week
Happy Saturday everyone!
If you don't know me, I am very well-versed in celebrity culture. It is definitely a guilty pleasure but I am not ashamed of it. If celebrity knowledge was a major at my school I would run that department. I like to look at what celebs have worn at events on Instyle.com, People.com, Perezhilton.com, etc and get inspiration from them and just admire the fashion and personal style. Ala Instyle's look of the day here are my favorite looks of the week:
I love everything Diane Kreuger wears on the red carpet and this look is not exception. The hemline on this Chanel is interesting and the white is great for summer but not casual at all due to the intricate detail.
I'm usually not a big fan of Hillary Swank but she looks great- wish I had legs like that! Her Hugo Boss sheath is a fun but age-appropriate take on the color block trend. I'm liking the strappy heals for summer too.
Pippa Middleton has been getting almost as much media attention as Kate lately and it's because of her great personal style. I've always loved the look of a girly floral dress toughened up with a leather jacket and I like Pippa's look even more because of the quilted leather jacket. Makes it a little more feminine.
Can't forget about Kate, and Will too, hi! While the royal couple is traveling around Canada and the U.S. Kate has been on her fashion A- game. She has been wearing a lot of navy but I love this green Diane Von Furstenberg on her. The color looks great with her hair.
Jennifer Aniston is pur perfection in my opinion. She gets a lot of crap for wearing the same hairstyle, little black dress, and strappy sandal to every red carpet event but I think she always looks great so if it ain't broke why fix it? However, she switched it up to get her Hollywood star and she looks awesome! Love the new bob, her long legs in those nude pumps, and the floral dress is a nice change.
My absolute favorites of the week both came from Emma Watson. How beautiful is she? I love the short hair on her too. The first look is such an interesting, feminine take on the LBD. I love the patent belt she snuck in there. The second look, a Elie Saab dress, is perfection. I wish I could see the detail of the dress up close! I am also loving the silver satin platform heels. She is kicking her Harry Potter promotions off so well.
Sorry Fergie, but you are not looking too fergalicious here. You're rocking those shorts like a 8th grade teeny- bopper straight out of Abercrombie. I'm not really sure about your floral kimono/bedsheet/sweater either. (I feel like Joan Rivers!)
There are parts of this look I do like. Ashley Olsen's Hair and sunglasses look very chic. I also like a nice, white button-up but I wish she would have worn a dark jean or even a short or shorter skirt. I am not feeling the hemline, it makes her look dowdy and she certainly is not.
I love Rose Bryne's blazer, especially the color for summer but I can't get behind the jumpsuit. The only people who should be wearing them are janitors and garbage men. It looks like it would be comfortable for bed though. Her outfit would be so much better if she has rocked a dress or even a romper.

Best Season of the Year
No, it's not summer (close second), it's baseball season! Being a big Phillies fan, nothing is better than heading down to South Philly to hit up a summer game. Hotdogs, crab fries, cold beer, the Philly Phanatic, enthusiastic fans and great baseball...what could be better! We are almost at the Allstar break (halfway through:/) but I wanted to devote a post to what to wear at a baseball game.
In my opinion, three things are key:
*Since the majority of the games are during the summer, it's most likely going to be hot so dress for the weather- hats, sunscreen, sunglasses, light layers, etc.
*I love my flip-flops but stadiums can be sort of gross so I like to stick to closed toe shoes.
*Show your team spirit! You don't have to wear an official jersey or a XX-L men's shirt to show your support for your team. There are cute ways to create outfits just by using your team colors.
Below are my two outfit ideas to wear at a Phillies game. One is a more casual option, and the other is a little nicer. I am partial to the first outfit- I'm a shorts and tee girl for the summer :)
