Greetings, all!
I've been blogging for quite some time - often around topics that give me much delight, including fashion, celebs, product reviews, sales, etc.
And while I certainly would still love to share some of my favorites in the categories above, I'm at a place in my life (working very full time with an adorable new kiddo) in which I can't dedicate enough time for proper, consistent posts. I would never want to keep up a blog "just because"...because that's just lame! Blogging deserves to be fun and inspired, not regimented and predictable.
If and when the mood strikes to kick up the blogging again, I hope you'll join me for some fashion and a giggle or two.
Love,
Coley

Celebrity Style Stalker: Kerry Washington
Kerry Washington. What a cute cute lady. And I have yet to be utterly disappointed in an outfit she dons...which is why I wasn't surprised to see this straightforward yet nicely put together ensemble she had on when she graced GMA a while back.
Short, a-line leather skirt with a bit of flounce? Check.
Cream, thick knit boxy sweater? Check.
Opaque black tights? Check.
Amazing Christian Louboutin high heeled brogues? Well, not quite. But we do the best we can.
Style stalk away, shop away...much more affordably.

Product Review: Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow, B-
Happy Monday to all! Up for product review today is an eye shadow I received as a BzzAgent - Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow. This convenient eyeshadow is served up in a twistable, crayon like form and retails for $8.99.
About Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow:
Anti-Oxidant Rich Formula Nourishes the Delicate Eye Area
My Review:
The Good: I love the concept - an easy to apply, sheer but pretty wash of color for the lids that doesn't crease or fade. And yes, this delivers on those fronts. It's goof proof and the Lasting Taupe (muted silvery taupe) is especially pretty layered under a smokey eye and smudged on the lower lash line.
The Bad: Well, the wash of color is incredibly subtle. As in the Constant Copper looked more like ballerina pink on my medium skin tone - read: barely shows up. It's also worth noting that you should avoid layering the crease proof shadow on top of itself as it will start an ugly product buildup.
The Verdict: B-. For an eyeshadow base, this is a pretty sweet product. However, if you're looking for true color impact, go ahead and skip this option.

Oscar Gold
It seems that, overall, most played it pretty safe. I definitely saw some lovely dresses, but nothing that really surprised me (a la Gwyneth Paltrow's white cape gown from last year).
Before we get to my three faves...I must note that I really did not enjoy Anne Hathaway's pink Prada gown. Worst dart placement. Ever. See for yourself.

Kerry Washington in Miu Miu. Not a designer you see too often on the red carpet, but this gown's bodice detail and coral-red color are incredible.
