Tony Romo & Candice Crawford Tie the Knot!

The first photos of Tony Romo's wedding to Candice Crawford are out, and while they're a little grainy, you can still get a good feel for Candice's wedding dress. I'm liking the dropped waist, but something about the bodice seems a little...I don't know, much for me.

Romo and Crawford married in Dallas with a reported 600 guests in attendance, including the bride's brother Chace, who will likely always be Nate in my mind. [via]

Candice Crawford's wedding dress was designed by Rani Totman of St. Pucchi and features a V-neckline, keyhole back and a Queen Anne collar. According to People the dress was "made with 100 percent pure silk duchess satin, the dress’s bodice was handcrafted in a floral pattern and accented with ostrich feathers, rhinestones and crystal beading." What do you think of Candice's wedding gown?

Kajal Agarwal with Ajay Devgn!

Kajal Agarwal who is making her debut in Hindi version of 'Singam' with Ajay Devgn is playing the role of a Goan girl. She herself revealed this to the media recently.

Though Anushka Shetty played the role in Tamil and Telugu versions of this film, Kajal bagged it in Hindi. When asked if she would imitate Anushka in Hindi version, she said,

"Absolutely not. I am playing the role of a Goan girl in this movie. It is made according to the sensibilities of Hindi audience. I have started shooting for this film. Infact my role has been re-written completely for this film. Anushka did a great job in 'Singam' that released as 'Yamudu' in Telugu. If I have any doubts on the role, I will certainly contact her" Kajal said.

Riding high on success with 'Darling', 'Mr Perfect' and 'Brindavanam', Kajal is now number one heroine in Tollywood. She is being talked about as the next Soundarya, thanks to her roles. We are yet to see how her career in Bollywood shapes up.

Bipasha Basu detained for Gold

It looks like Bollywood hotties are going through hard times at the airports. Few days back, Minnisha Lamba was detained at the Mumbai Airport for not revealing about the gold she carried as ‘Gold materials’ come under dutiable materials.

Bipasha Basu was also caught up in a similar situation as she didn’t declare about the gold that she was carrying. Apparently, she was stopped for enquiry and was asked to pay the duty tax. On her return, Bipasha Basu declared that it’s true that she was held for questioning and it was sorted out within few minutes. The customs official later mentioned that she was asked to pay Rs. 12,000 as tax and thanked her for being cooperative throughout the process of enquiry.

Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette :)

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everyone! :D

How are you all spending the long weekend? Whatever it is you are doing, I hope you are having fun! :)

When I have some spare time, I really try to do some swatches for you guys. :)

Good news is I had some time this past week to take photos of my

Coastal Scents 88 Shimmer Palette! :D

Here's what www.coastalscents.com says about it:

88 eye shadow colors

mirror 5" x 3.12" (12.7cm x 7.9cm)x2 dual end foam tip applicators

Dimensions

Content Weight

61.0g / 2.15oz

I bought this last year for $19.95 -- very affordable, huh?!
The packaging is not the best, but I don't mind because you get 88 colors for $19.95 -- why would I complain, right?

And another good thing about this is the colors are pigmented.

I swatched a color from each row for you guys to see. :)
There are 11 rows with 8 colors each.

*My arm looks weird, hahaha!*

There may be some fall outs, but you can easily fix that by sweeping it up with loose powder. You can also use MAC Fix+ or just plain, good old water to get less fall outs and a deeper shade.

It comes with dual end foam applicators, but I like using my own eyeshadow brush.

All in all, I think this is a really great buy! It feels like it has all the colors you can possibly think of. ;)

Which of these 88 colors do you like the best?

If you don't want much of a shimmer, they also have an 88 Original Palette -- the same beautiful colors without the shimmer for $18.95!

Coastal Scents has a ton of other products, so check out their website to see which one will strike your fancy. :)

Have you ever bought anything from Coastal Scents? Any recommendations?

Have a fantastic weekend, guys! :D

Spring's Top Trends: A Recap

Happy Thursday! :)

I've been totally off this week - yesterday I thought it was Thursday, today I thought it was Wednesday! Weeeeeiiird. And I didn't know that it was American Idol's finale last night, but anyway, yay Scotty! ;)

I am excited that the semester is almost over! One thing I'm gonna miss about going to school though is planning my outfits, haha! But that's okay, there's a whole summer for me to dress up.

These past few months I've really tried to change up my style - I started wearing clothes that I would never even think about wearing before, I started using some of my bolder accessories that I haven't touched in years... And it's fun! :D

What about you, have you been changing up your style?

These magazine pages from People go through Spring's top trends, which I'm pretty sure should spill over to Summer. Are there any new Summer fashion trends?

1. Fun Stripes

2. White Shirts

I have some white blouses and plain white tees, but I don't have button-downs. I need to get some. :)

3. Bright Colors

I started wearing my colored jeans again, but I have yet to try wearing bright colors a la Camilla Belle.

4. Trouser Jeans

I don't really have trouser jeans, but my sister gave me some of her linen pants that are on the long side - I was able to wear them like high-waist jeans. :)

5. Pretty Florals

6. Maxi Skirts

I have to get some maxi skirts - but, I am wearing a midi skirt right now. :D

7. Animal Prints

Another trend I love, but my closet lacks!

Which of these seven trends do you like the most? Have you been sporting any of them lately? :D

Kim Kardashian's Engagement Ring and a Fashion Extravaganza with the Royals, Obamas, Camerons & Cannes

So Kim Kardashian's engaged. The ring is apparently 20.5 karats and features a 16.5-karat emerald-cut centre stone flanked by 2-karat trapezoids.

 Kim's engagement ring from Kris Humphries is said to have cost a cool $2 million--literally more than Kim's house. I wish those two krazy kids the best of luck. I, mean, really, how could Kim not have married a man named Kris (with a "K"). [via]

Battle of the Belts:

Michelle Obama and Samantha Cameron served lunch at a BBQ

at 10 Downing Street today. Michelle wore a black-and-white

Tracy Reese dress. The sparkly belt is a bit much for pasta salad, no?

SamCam wore a cotton-twill dress with an electric green belt

from Jonathan Saunders. [via]

Can't say I really loved the white Tom Ford gown that Mrs. Obama wore to the state dinner last night. It's not offensive or anything, there's just...something off about it. Maybe the gloves. Ford is a great choice, though, an American with a HQ in London. Samantha Cameron wore Emilia Wickstead to the event at Buckingham Palace. [via]

We got our first look at post-honeymoon William and Kate, looking tanned and relaxed as they welcomed the Obamas to England during the Americans state visit. Apparently the meeting was short and the newlyweds didn't participate in any of the other official events, ostensibly to underscore the fact that they're not officially working members of the family.

Anyhoo, Kate wore another Reiss dress, this time the Shola Bandage Dress, soon to be named the Kate, the Catherine, the Duchess or something of the sort. After Kate was seen wearing the dress the Reiss website crashed, ostensibly with people trying to get their hands on their own version. The Duchess has a great knack of making relatively affordable outfits (£175) look totally first rate. Kate--Catherine, whatever--accessorized with simple black pumps and an Anya Hindmarch clutch (the Maud, I believe).

Michelle Obama wore a colourful outfit from Barbara Tfank.

Not loving it, maybe its the pink bolero that's throwing me off.

I think, in this case, Kate wins the style wars.

And I do like Kate so I don't want to criticize, but do her arms look like they're veering into scary skinny territory in some of these pics? Just me? Maybe its the angle, but don't they have food in the Seychelles? [via]

I liked Michelle Obama's second outfit--her bright purple dress is from Roksanda Ilincic's Pre-Fall collection and her blue coat is by Narciso Rodriguez--better than the first. Samantha Cameron looked chic in Peter Pilotto and grey snakeskin Jimmy Choo platform heels. [via]

Michelle and SamCam seem to get along quite well.

Check out the Prime Minister's chic digs. [via]

When arriving in England Michelle Obama wore a

bold blue suit from Preen with a printed blouse. [via]

And now on to Cannes where trends like wearing white with emeralds,

long sleeved gowns and deep blues were all the rage...

Uma in a Body Hugging, Long Sleeved Electric Blue Armani Prive

Jury member Uma Thurman has one of those bodies just made for wearing clothes. I'm pretty sure I loved just about everything she wore. And that she wore most of her gowns with flat sandals and did so with aplomb.

Uma wears Chanel Haute Couture with a VBH clutch and Jimmy Choo flats

I loved Bianca Balti's white Alberta Ferretti gown, which

the Italian model-actress accessorized with de Grisogono jewels.



Cristiano Ronaldo's GF and Sports Illustrated model Irina Shayk

also went for white (Atelier Versace) and green at the amfAR gala.

Eva Herzigova wore her emeralds with a shorts suit.

Doesn't Jane Fonda look great? The actress sported dangling emerald earrings and a long-sleeved Roberto Cavalli gown at the amfAR gala during the Cannes festival.

Longtime emerald fan Angelina Jolie paired jewelry from her own line with an understated, but very pretty, nude dress from Salvatore Ferragamo accessorized with a brown belt and nude pumps.

Angelina's style if often a bit too boring for my taste but I think her classic looks worked well at Cannes, including the strapless, slit-up-to-there Atelier Versace gown she wore. But what's up with Brad?

Blue was a huge colour on the Cannes red carpet with everyone from Uma to Aishwarya Rai jumping on the blue bandwagon, many in dresses with long sleeves. Jodie Foster, for example, looked classically sophisticated in Armani.

Bar Refaeli looked stunning in a dark blue, long sleeved Cavalli with plunging back and silver embellished cut-outs. Is that fashion code for "Eat your heart out Leo"?

Actress Gaia Bermani Amaral also wore a dark blue, long-sleeved Cavalli.

She accessorized with a Sergio Rossi clutch.

Karolina Kurkova wore a sparkly blue Armani Prive.

And how hot is Penelope Cruz in Stella McCartney?

I adored this look right down to the Casadei pumps.

Much better than the frou-frou Marchesa she wore later.

Not Cannes, but Penelope also looked smokin' in a form-fitting, futuristic long sleeved red Armani Prive gown at the Pirates of the Caribbean premiere in Munich recently. Baby? What baby?

Cheryl Cole appears to be a fan of the long sleeves, wearing gowns by both Stephane Rolland and Roberto Cavalli. I much prefer the second look.

Bar Refaeli in another knockout Cavalli, this time champagne-gold at amfAR. Elisabetta Canalis looked pretty hot at that party too in a bronze-gold Cavalli. Milla Jovovich also wore a metallic gold gown but hers was from Atelier Versace.

I hardly ever like Kirsten Dunst but I thought her yellow Chloe day dress was one of the prettiest looks of the whole festival. The Chanel she wore to accept the Best Actress award wasn't too shabby either, although I don't get the black shoes.

Tilda Swinton is also one I'm often on the fence about,

but she hit it out of the park at Cannes.

I'm a fan of Jessica Chastain's red Oscar de la Renta

and bright lemon yellow Zac Posen.

Some other pretty looks:

Italian Blogger Chiara Ferragni

SJP in Elie Saab

Diane Kruger is movie star glam in Calvin Klein.

There were a lot of horrible outfits--from Charlotte Gainsbourg

and Bryce Dallas Howard on--but I'm not going to go in to them all here.

I'd love to hear who your favourites/least favourites were.

Oh, and what do you think of this fuchsia dress on Katie Holmes? I kind of love it. The dress is from Katie's own line, Holmes and Yang, which I didn't even know existed. [via]

And while I'm not the biggest Cristiano Ronaldo fan

how cute is his baby son? [via]

How has your week been going?
