Take the Plunge???  



Blake Lively has been raising a lot of eyebrows lately with her deep plunging necklines and Sunday night was no exception. At the New York premiere of  "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee," she wore this white Marchesa blazer and black mini-short sans blouse or bra. Personally, I never show my boobies if I'm showing a lot of leg and vice versa, but what do you think? Is this look too risque? Should your decision to take the plunge depend on the size of your boobs? Should you apply real life wardrobe rules to the red carpet or should anything go???

Red Carpet: 2009 Glamour Women of the Year Awards  

On Monday evening, Glamour hosted its 2009 Women of the Year Awards. So you know what that means...

Here is my take on the fashion:

The Good

Ms. Rihanna killed it in this Stephane Rolland gown.



Serena Williams looked vibrant and beautiful in this red Pamella Roland gown.



Katharine McPhee caused quite a stir with the blonde hairstyle, but this great BODYAMR gown stole my attention.




The Bad

I LOVE Stella McCartney, but this look leaves much to be desired. Besides, even she confessed to a fashion faux-pas saying her dress was a little too short.



Same for Kerry Washington. Love her bunches, but this Fendi dress isn't doing much for her.


I think it may be a combination of the color of this gown with her hair and complexion, but this Stella McCartney only served to age and wash out Amy Poehler.



Why are the people I love doing this to me??? Zoe Kravitz underwhelmed me as well.




The Ugly

Marisa Mayer, VP of Search and Experience at Google is a brilliant woman, but this Oscar de la Renta color and texture medley was NOT a brilliant wardrobe decision.




The Miscellaneous

So, I'm not eating up this look from Jason Wu, but Iman always looks stunning. Life can be so unfair sometimes.

Rue La La: James Jeans Sale  



Rue La La is having a sale on James Jeans that runs until Monday at 10AM CST.

The good news? There are 30 styles to choose from that are all priced at $69 from  a regular retail price of $158 - $185!

The bad news? For the most part, most of them look like the same 3 styles. However, for $69, I'd check this sale out. There are some good basics to be found here.
