Celebrity Fashion: Vanessa Hudgens

vanessa-hudgens-white

Vanessa is always stylish, no matter what she wears. I especially like this cute Jen's Pirate Booty Poncho Villa Ruffle Dress in White that she recently wore. It’s $140 and can be found on Singer22.com.

White seems to be very popular this Spring and I expect this trend to follow us into Summer. White can be easy to wear, if you pair it with the right accessories and stay clean!

To get Vanessa’s cool summer look for less, try these budget friendly dresses:

Women: Women's Floral Cut-Out Sundresses - Bright White

Women: Flowy ruffle front dress - optic white

Women: Pintuck shift dress - optic white

Accessorize a white dress with edgy shoes like these Jessica Simpson “Carline” fringe flats in bronze. Then add a splash of color with a Floral Tote and some bright chandelier earrings and peachy-pink lip gloss.

The ever stylish Vanessa Hudgens was recently seen wearing this fabulous little green dress with Chinese Laundry “Sudoku” sandals. I absolutely LOVE those shoes!

I found them in Desert tan on Piperlime.com for $70. But I really want them in black! Looks like most good sizes are sold out in black. If you have big feet, you can get them on Amazon.com for $69.90.

After searching a bit more I found that Zappos has the Chinese Laundry Sudoku sandals in Black in almost every size for only $68.90! I have to have them…

Oscar Night’s Best Dressed!

It takes a certain finesse to own a gown. Oscar night was full of gowns wearing stars and not the other way around. It’s hard to find a dress that is eye-catching, sexy and out of the ordinary in the first place without running into trouble. Even harder, is making it look like it was made to be worn by you. Here are a few stars that got it right on Oscar Night!

Angelina Jolie

A good black gown rules at the Oscars! This woman knows what suits her. Angelina shines in a gorgeous Elie Saab Black floor length gown. Her accessories (Green, my favorite color) add just the right amount of mystery to her look. Love it!

Next up, Anne Hathaway

Anne is Luminescent is this gorgeous, pearly, Armani Prive gown. The moon-pale color and sets off her skin tone perfectly, and the shape is classic. She looks like a Oscar Winner.

Natalie Portman is next.

Looking sweetly divine in this lilac Rodarte masterpiece, Natalie commands camera attention. I love the silhouette of this dress, and the color goes nicely with her complexion.

All hail Halle Berry!

A star through and through the sexiest woman alive doesn’t disappoint. The lovely actress glimmers in this gold and black Marchesa Stunner. Show ‘em how it’s done Halle!

Marisa Tomei takes the crown

marisa-tomei

She truly owned this very unique dress. As I mentioned above, it isn’t easy wearing a dress that could easily wear you, but she did it! This origami, pleated Versace gown is very elegant and obviously meant for a Superstar. Her curves were well highlighted, and you can clearly see she is proud to wear this dress. Well Done Marisa!

It is my personal policy not to name names of the worst dressed, even if the whole world knows. I will however, leave hints!!

Worst Dressed Hints:

A head honcho from the House of Dereon sparkled during her dance number, but sadly floundered due to a bad fishtail gown that was just not Oscar worthy. There was also a “Bolt” star who looked more like a snowflake than an Oscar nominee. Certainly there were more, but I like to focus on the positive, like Kate Winslet winning best actress!!

Honorable Mentions-

Vanessa Hudgens and Jennifer Aniston both looked flawlessly lovely in their gowns, although neither shined brightly enough to make this list.

Vanessa Hudgens: Sweet and comfy in the boyfriend cardigan

Okay,

There is some serious genius at work. Paring a sweet boyfriend cardigan with a flowy white top, skinny jeans and sexy booties is something I see on this on girl and wonder why I haven’t tried it yet? What do you think of this look? Her insane style just takes my breath away, and the oversized cardigan looks effortless with her sweet little top. I think flowy tops and skinny jeans will be another spring staple this year.Spring is almost here, and I think oversized cardigans like the one seen here on vanessa is perfect over any breezy dress, or just over a top with some jeans, I’m very excited about trying this out, effortless cool looks so good on everyone!

I’m In Love With Emily Elizabeth!

Okay not really, but I DO love her jewelry.

Emily Elizabeth Jewelry is a cool, New York based company that creates classic, feminine and modern jewelry that is affordable for all us women who have tight budgets right now.

saltine-necklace-upcloseFrom unique necklaces to feminine earrings, you are sure to find something you love. And it’s all affordable too!

If you’re looking for something different to add to your jewelry collection, you have to check them out.

Celebrity fans of the line include Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus and Cheryl Burke. The line is available at select retailers and online at www.emilyelizabethjewelry.com

The first item I feel in love with was the Golden Saltine Necklace in Brass. I mean, you just can’t get any more unique than that. You’re probably thinking, “A cracker? On a chain? Are you serious?!” But seriously, it’s a gorgeous, eye catching piece. It’s the perfect thing to totally offset a pant suit when you’re at the office. It adds something kooky and fresh so you look classy and laid back at the same time. I think it’s genius…

Another eye catching piece is the Fortune Cookie Necklace. That’s just too much fun! And my third favorite? The Safety Pin Necklace in Yellow Gold Plate. How clever is that?

Celebrity Fashion: JJ Winters anyone?

Okay, our favorite little songbird,  Vanessa Hudgens is always seen toting this adorable JJ Winters fringe bag.

Now I have been getting emails about where you can find it, Singer22 has it and as far as I know it’s still in stock. I was never a big fan of fringe, so much can go wrong (and it’s a tad too country western for me). And I’m not alone. Fringe has been out of sight out of mind for a while.

JJ Winters has quite a few innovative approaches to handbags. Check out JJ Winters designs on Singer 22. This pint sized cutie has defied the mandate against fringe and rocked the bag anyway, paving the way for all her chums. Miss Hudgens is just one among the many Young Hollywood elite rocking this bag, Haylie Duff and Ashley Tisdale each have their own as well.

Style Superlative: Vanessa Hudgens

I vote this girl most likely to Succeed!

I admit I am not a fan of her career choices or Internet Photography collection, but the girl can dress! Award show after award show, junket after junket she looks sizzling! Though i love her style, Please do not mistake my appreciation for fine fashion as fanatical adoration (I graduated high school 5 years ago, and it was not musical!). I am merely an admirer of her flawless style. This young lady merely exhibits what every woman should have when she wears an outfit; comfort in her clothes. Comfort translates into confidence better than any faux attitude!

Exhibit A- Sweet Street style

This look is an example of Vanessa’s “Three C policy” on clothes. The C’s are as follows: Comfy, Classy, and Chic. You’ll never see this girl in a banded leather dress or super-high heels that she can barely walk in. Vanessa balances designer with low key to achieve the perfect comfy street style we are always seeing on her in candid photos.

Exhibit B- Date Night Glamour

Here Vanessa in what may have been her best look of the year 2008 at the Teen Choice Awards poses with boyfriend Zac Efron.

Personally, the whole point of loving fashion is experimentation, and this girl has evolved into such a stylista! She knows what works for her body, and what colors suit her skin. I think we could all take a page from this girls book. My only question is that with such a strong portfolio last year how will Vanessa stay on top in ’09? Some say she’ll be a one hit wonder, but only time will tell. I’ll be keeping my eye on this one!
