Craic'ed Out Deals -Holiday Edition Posted by S&M NY , Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 1:38 PM, in Labels: Craic'ed Out Deals

The Holidays are upon us which means too many parties and not enough sleep. For the girl on go and on a budget I have put together four perfect party looks. Neutral enough that you can wear over and over through out the season and into the next. All of the looks are from easily accesible stores. Asos.com is my new favorite store ,they have a huge inventory of garnments that you wont just find anywhere and at reasonable prices. Express has amazing accersories and let's face it everyone has a coupon to that store which helps. The shoes are all from Bakers and are all affordable and comfortable. So with a simple switcheroo of the hair, makeup and accesories you are sure to turn some heads and maybe even get to sit on Santa's lap. ;)

Love it or Leave it -Leighton Edition Posted by S&M NY , at 1:14 PM, in Labels: Celeb Craic

Last night Leighton Meester showed up to the Gotham Independent Film Awards in a Thom Browne suit with plum Ferragamo pumps and and emerald green clutch.  In my eyes Leighton can do no wrong. She wears what she wants, when she wants and takes risks. Her style may not be as critically acclaimed as her Gossip Girl co star Blake Lively...but at least she's a cut above Taylor Momsen.


What do you think of Leighton's Look?

American Music Award Fashion Recap Posted by S&M NY , at 4:02 PM, in Labels: Celeb Craic

Winner!!

Rihanna heated up the red carpet in a sheer red gown from  Ellie Saab from their Fall/Winter 2010 Collection. The  gown had a beautiful sparkling branch and floral print that just barely covered her naughty bits. The dress is sexy, serious and high fashion which the “Only Girl singer is known for. Keep em' coming girl

Loser!!

 

Avril Lavigne rocked this Dolce & Gabbana mini dress and off the bat there isn't anything terribly appalling about the way she looks except the fact she hasn’t really evolved from when she first hit the scene in 2002. Sure the baggy pants and ties are gone, but the tude and dated pink highlights remain. As the singer prepares for a comeback she might want to think about a style overhaul if she wants to sit with the big girls like Rihanna who oddly enough samples her on her song “Cheers” off her album Loud. So cheers to Rihanna and Avril maybe drown your sorrows in another drink.

Now, there were some other honorable mentions and some others I rather not mention like Ke$ha and Nikki Minaj. We get it your individuals you’re different but do you have to hurt my eyes while you do it?  Miley Cyrus looked like she belonged at the premiere of the new movie “Tangled” Rapuzel, Rapunzel let down your train! Although I am thrileld her hair is looking better then the tranny extensions of yester year. Katy Perry was definitely showing that she is now married in a boring pale pink dress that even a Real Housewife wouldn’t wear. Fergie got it just right, sexy and edgy and showing off those gorgeous gams. I just wish her hair would have been pulled back to really show off the detail of the dress. Sorry I just feel asleep looking at Jessica Alba and on to Taylor Swift who looked like pop perfection on the carpet. While her sequined mini isn’t really anything new for the country singer, her bangs, gorgeous skin and come hither stare are enough to make you melt. Perhaps we should thank Mr. Gylenhall for her new sexy confidence??  See the other hits and misses after the jump
