4 MUST HAVES FOR SUMMER

"Saying you don't look good in a hat is like saying you don't look good in shoes!"- Unknown

 "People will stare, make it worth their while."- Harry Winston 


Using arm candy to dress up any summer look... it's a must!

"A woman can carry a bag, but it is the shoe that carries the woman."- Christian Louboutin

Wedges, flats and peep toe heels are EVERYWHERE this season!

 "Style is a way to say who you are, without speaking."- Rachel Zoe

Nothing is better than being hands free! Finding that perfect cross body or a bag that fits around the waist screams MUST HAVE for Summer!

All of these looks were accomplished with DoubleTake consignment pieces! You can have the same look by visiting one of your local DT stores!

PUNK: CHAOS TO COUTURE

Hollywood didn't hold back at this years Met Gala, focusing on the "punk" theme of the night. I personally had a few favorites of the night, like Nicole Richie in TopShop and Sarah Jessica Parker in Giles Deacon with a head piece by Philip Treacy.

These woman really went all out, from head toe. Speaking of head to toe, Kim Kardashian was literally decorated in a not so flattering floral pattern, including a pair of shoes and gloves, that matched her dress. I will let you be the judge!

Let's take a look at most of the amazing fashion from the night.

Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy

   

                                          Emma Watson in Prabal Gurung

 Leslie Mann & Kate Upton in DVF

                                                  Jennifer Lawrence in Dior

Kristen Stewart in Stella McCartney

                               Gwen Stefani in Maison Martin Margiela

Heidi Klum in Marchesa

                                                       Sienna Miller in Burberry

Anne Hathaway in Valentino Couture

                                            Taylor Swift in J.Mendel

Jessica Biehl in Giambattista Valli

                                      

                                            Jennifer Lopez in Michael Kors

Blake Lively in Gucci

           

                                                  Jessica Alba in Tory Burch

Claire Danes in Oscar de la Renta 

                                                                              Beyonce in Givenchy

                                         

            

                                                                                  

                Minka Kelly in Carolina Herrera

Dakota Fanning in Rodarte

Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs

Katy Perry in Dolce & Gabbana

Ashley Greene in Marchesa

My favorite look from the entire night goes to Rooney Mara. The bold lip was a perfect nod to the "punk" theme. Her flawless skin, perfect brows, and sleek hair really pulled the whole look together. She looked simply amazing in this elegant Givenchy gown.  Well done Ms. Mara!

From Open Fields to a Red Carpet ...

This weekend was JAM packed with exciting events, and I am going to give the exclusive on the top fashions from Coachella and the MTV Movie Awards!

Let's start with Coachella (it pained my little heart to not be a part of this HUGE music festival this weekend) where celebs came out showing their best and unique sense of fashion.

 ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO

 IRELAND BALDWIN

 JULIANNE HOUGH

 KATY PERRY

        

DIANE KRUGER

 ALEXA CHUNG

                       

 NO WARDROBE IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THE PROPER ACCESSORIES!

 For example this Givenchy statement piece...

or these vintage Chanel patent leather shoes.

A great handbag is always a must !

Also this weekend the Red Carpet was rolled out for all of the A List celebrities at this year's MTV Movie Awards.

The show kicked off with a great performance from the cast of "Pitch Perfect" showcasing the funny host Miss Rebel Wilson.

Nothing was more "perfect" than the fashion the stars chose to WOW us with.
