I was inspired by princess-to-be Kate and her headpieces, so I caved an bought one myself! Feathers and all! I have no idea where I’m going to wear it. I’ll just have to find a special occasion. I like it though and dammit I’m going to rock it like Kate does.

Kate Spade has come out with a line of “book cover” clutches similar to Olympia Le-Tan’s but more affordable. I love them! Not as much as Olympia’s, but close…

We were in Sephora today trying on makeup and when I ran out of facial features to cover in powders and glosses, I went to try on nail polish. – *Side note* I’ve never walked into Sephora without makeup before like I did today. But if you can get past your reflection in the mirror from their hideous lights, it’s a lot of fun making yourself over from counter to counter.
Anyway, so I saw some crazy nail polish colors over at the Llamasqua booth and thought I’d try some out. I tried on “Force” – a crazy blue one and “Grab” a purpley pink one. I love their color names. They even have a minty color called “MILF.” I didn’t buy one because the bottles are $14, but I definitely plan to. The “Grab” color I tried on is my favorite so far. I’ve never seen anything like it! And all of the colors are super bright and glossy, dry fast and supposedly don’t chip. I’m going to test out my one nail I left painted to see how long it lasts.
So there you have it, my lil nail polish review.

UPDATE! I think I just saw Mila Kunis wearing this gown by Elie Saab:
I’m know fashion connoisseur, but I know when I see a gorgeous gown. Here are some images I swiped from Pinterest of gowns that I think would make great Oscar gown contenders.

Karen and anyone else in NYC who reads this, you guys have an assignment. Get on The Satorialist. I’m not sure where he hangs out, so just start wandering the streets looking your most fabulous, or according to this article do at least one of these 5 things:
1. Cutely ride a bike.
2. Be pretentious.
3. Be a French home-wrecker.
4. Pretend you live in the past.
5. Don’t smile.
Here’s a video about the blog and a chance to see the man behind the camera. If you see him and he asks to take your picture, say YES!

And in case you didn’t see Glee this week, The Satorialist was mentioned as naming Brittany “The most fashionable teen in America.” Hehe.

Hold on to your credit cards ladies, Beholden is now open for business! Let the weddings and girly parties begin! So far these are the things that I never knew I “needed” until now.
Shoe clips
(pompoms and feathers – both. I need both!)
A mini hat
What? I’ll throw a mini-hat party so I can wear it.
Crocheted gloves
I’m a lady 
A furry pink shrug
(To go with my lady gloves and mini hat)
And more cocktail dresses
(because I have soo many cocktail parties I’m attending. Well one. The mini hat party.)
That’ll do Master Card, that’ll do.*
*In case my dad is reading, this is all a joke. I did not go hog wild spending money. Only in my dreams I did

I was actually pretty underwhelmed by the dresses this Golden Globes. But here are the ones that stood out to me. Literally.
Olivia Wilde’s chocolate brown ball gown. Huge, but I dig it.
Glee’s Dianna Agron looked GORGEOUS!!!
And then there was the green theme:
I love green dresses, but I will say I’m on the fence about the last 2. Angie’s looks a little Golden Girls-esque and C-Zeta Jones’ looks a bit like turf. Eh?
