Casual Courtney wants to wish you a very happy leap day!
Casual Courtney rarely makes an appreence in real life, let alone in blog world. But seeing as I will be in class from 9am to 9pm today (leap day) and my fibromyalgia has been acting up, I decided to leap into something comfortable and make an exception. I think it is still pretty cute, despite the casualness, would you agree?
This fall (2012) I will be spending the season in a Parisian paradise... jealous? well dry those green eyes and join me by indulging in Kate Spades fall 2012 collection.
Although we wont be able to buy these goodies until september (boo, where is time travel when you need it most!) we can drool over some of these perfect paris inspired products...
I am obsessed with pretty much all of it, from the bold bangs to the polka dot nails... but for my budgets sake, lets pick out a few things that will simply have to make the journey to my closet...
In order of appearance: The people print dress, blue bow jacket (soo major... it has to happen!), red flats (basically all the shoes...) that polka dot jacket (gasp!), polka dot gloves (double gasp!), black and white polka dot cardigan (there seems to be a pattern emerging...), the pardon my french tee and feather fringe skirt that its shown with (seriously... is it september yet?), the polka dot pumps and those amazing yellow pants. (in the image above) The gold dot flats and the glittery ballroom esque shoes!
If you haven''t been to a Kate Spade store or the website in february, you really should stop by, it will brighten your day... literally! The store is covered with bold pops of florescent coral and patent peaches! I drew inspiration from this powerful pallet for today's look and challenged myself by wearings pants (ghasp!).
Its finally here... Hollywoods biggest night out, The 84th Academy Awards!
Lets not waste any more time, and get right into seeing some of the stars that shined on the red carpet this evening....
Of course I am beyond obsessed with Natalie Portman's vintage 1954 polkadot Haute Couture Christian Dior gown.
Although I am not an Angelina fan, she always wows on the red carpet, and this velvet Atelier Versace number was no exception!
George Clooney brought his own oscar to the awards, the golden dipped beauty: Stacy Keibler in Marchesa. Kate Mara from American Horror story also stunned in Jack Guisso.
I was inspired by Nichole Richi cira 2009ish and her boho glam style today (up top), and a bit by Gaga (look south of my ankles), but I had to add some over-the-top accessories and a girly twist to make it my own.
