2011 Teen Choice Awards

I just finished watching the 2011 Teen Choice Awards.

Were you able to watch it?

I think it's crazy how these award shows and making posts about them kind of indicate how much time has already passed. Next thing we know, we'll be blogging about the Oscars again = crazy!

Okay, now that I've said that... let's talk about the 2011 Teen Choice Awards. Oh wait, I have a story -- so my younger siblings all made accounts on the Teen Choice website so they can vote, and I wanted to vote too so I started making my own account. At the back of my mind, I was already thinking that maybe I can't vote because I'm not a teenager anymore, but when I entered my birth date, the year 1990 was part of the choices = hooray! So, there I was all happy that I can vote... but when I clicked done, they told me I am "not eligible" because I am not a teen. :(

But oh well, it's okay, that didn't stop me from making sure my siblings voted for Harry Potter in every category they were nominated for. ;)

Anyway, okay, red carpet... blue carpet!

Rachel Bilson - white ruffled Chloe dress and Brian Atwood booties

I loved this look! I think it's very appropriate for the kind of award show that Teen Choice is. I love how fresh, fun, simple, and youthful this look is.

Maggie Q - Max Mara halter sheath and two-tone pumps

She looks fantastic!

Katie LeClerc - BCBG dress and Sergio Rossi heels

Switched at Birth is now one of my favorite TV shows! Katie is very talented... and beautiful!

Elizabeth Banks - J. Mendel dress and Edie Parker clutch

She looks amazing! I love how she made her dress really stand out by keeping everything else simple.

Avril Lavigne - head-to-toe Abbey Dawn

Very simple. Nothing crazy. I like it.

I probably won't wear the shoes though, but they are so Avril.

Fergie - Dolce & Gabbana dress and Christian Louboutin heels

Fergie makes the look work!

Demi Lovato - BCBG Max Azria dress and Christian Louboutin shoes

Not my favorite look, but it doesn't matter. I'm glad that Demi looks beautiful, happy, and healthy! :)

And those shoes = wow!

Blake Lively - Gucci dress, leopard print Louboutin stilettos, and Lorraine Schwartz jewels

I actually like the dress, and I think she looks gorgeous as always, but the shoes and the jewelry are making the whole ensemble kinda off.

JoJo - Marco Marco dress with Penelope and Coco pumps

I didn't really see her on the actual show, and I didn't even know she was there until I saw her blue carpet photos. :/ I wish they made her sing (instead of Selena Gomez... peace to all Selena fans, but her voice is nothing compared to JoJo's).

Taylor Swift - Rafael Cennamo halter dress, Ranjana Khan belt, silver Fendi peeptoes, and Neil Lane jewels

I think she looks pretty and her dress is pretty, but I'm not too crazy about this look.

Anyway, I wonder how awkward tonight must've been for Taylor... Joe Jonas was there, along with his other ex-girlfriends Demi Lovato and Ashley Greene (who sat next to Taylor!). Taylor Lautner was there, and we all know Back to December was written for him. Taylor Swift also went out a couple of times with Cory Monteith and Chord Overstreet (who were both there!). And of course, there's this whole Selena dumped her bff Demi to become bffs with Taylor thing. :/

Selena Gomez - Erin Fetherston mini-dress and Brian Atwood stilettos

I am not her biggest fan, but I usually like her style (or her stylist's style, haha!)... but this look is just too all over the place for me. It's not my favorite.

Nina Dobrev - Dolce & Gabbana gingham dress, Dolce & Gabbana clutch, Salvatore Ferragamo pumps, and Ippolita jewels

I think she's pretty and I love her hair and makeup. The dress is okay, but the print reminds me of an apron. :(

Ashley Greene - black and white Givenchy dress, strappy heels, and Neil Lane jewels

I like her hair and makeup... and yeah, that's it. The rest of the look is just not working, at least in my opinion.

Zooey Deschanel - Miu Miu pumps, tan floral tank dress with black lace trimming

I don't like the look, but I like her!

Zoe Saldana - Lanvin dress, Alexander McQueen shoes, Salvatore Ferragamo clutch, Jamie Wolf bangles, Lana earrings, and Carla Amorim ring

I'm undecided about this look. But I think I dislike it more than I like it. :/

Raven-Symone - black blazer, harem pants, and black pumps

I guess it's okay, but I'm still waiting for her to wear something really "Wow, that's beautiful!".

Nikki Reed - Etro halter dress and a Ferragamo clutch

This look would've worked... if she wore a different dress. :/

Tyra Banks - Thierry Mugler tube-top body suit

I don't understand. I am so confused.

Why, Tyra, why???

The Kardashians (and Jenners and Odoms)

I think it's cool that they brought Lamar's kids with them.

Khloe - Roberto Cavalli dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Ferragamo clutch, Loren jewelry

Kim - Givenchy dress, Louboutin heels, Bottega Veneta clutch, Lorraine Schwartz jewels

Kourtney - Blaque Label dress, Louboutin shoes, Chanel clutch, Loren jewelry

Apl.de.ap, Fergie, and Taboo -

I love The Black Eyed Peas!

Shane West!!!

I'm gonna watch A Walk to Remember again, haha! ;)

Justin Bieber -

I'm gonna say this now because I don't think I will ever really blog about Justin Bieber. He is talented and I admit, I know the words to his songs... but lately, whenever I see him, all I see is a rich and famous teenager who thinks he is all that. And I think his and Selena's PDA is more nauseating than cute. Sorry, Beliebers and Selena fans, peace! But yeah, I don't think I'll ever say this, but I prefer Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart over Justin and Selena.

Anyway, HARRY POTTER was a huge winner tonight!

I am loving Rupert's "I <3 LA" shirt!

Daniel Radcliffe live via satellite:

Whose look did you like the best? Whose did you not like at all?

If you watched it, what did you think of the show?

I wish all of you a wonderful week ahead! :D

Beauty Idol: Jennifer Lopez

Happy Wednesday!

The past couple of months have been busy, so there are quite a number of blog posts I initially planned on doing that I wasn't able to do... one of them being this post. ;)

I don't know if you guys remember, but there was debate and disagreement over People magazine naming Jennifer Lopez the "World's Most Beautiful".

I agree that there are a lot of women out there who are as beautiful as (or more beautiful than) Jennifer Lopez. But I also gotta say that this is the most beautiful she's ever been. Anyway, this post is not meant to be a debate on whether or not she deserved that title, I just wanted to share the article with you guys, haha. ;)

***from People magazine***

I also remember way back in January, when American Idol started, I told you guys that I love her American Idol looks and that I should probably do a post on it... might as well put those with this post. ;)

Here are some of her American Idol looks:

***images from Google***

I've always admired Jennifer Lopez for being so hardworking, but I gotta admit, I absolutely didn't like her during her "Bennifer" days. I'm glad that she seems more down-to-earth, nicer, and more approachable now. I love how American Idol showed a different side of her. I wish she would make more movies though, I miss her rom-coms -- I loooove The Wedding Planner! ;)

What do you think of Jennifer Lopez?

Do you like her movies, her songs, her style?

P.S. Don't forget to enter my Perricone giveaway! Thanks to those who've already entered and I wish everyone good luck! :D

***UPDATE: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony call it quits after 7 years of marriage. So sad!***

Two more weeks until the royal wedding?! :O

Wow, where did the months go?!

It feels like it was just yesterday when everyone started talking about the royal engagement, and now there's two more weeks to go until the royal wedding? Wow.

I am not overly obsessed, and I know some may be sick of it already, but it really is an exciting thing to see. Very fascinating.

Here are some royal wedding news from People magazine... most of these are old news now, but I just thought you guys might want to see and read about them. :D

The Lifetime movie William & Kate will be shown on Monday, April 18th. I don't know how much of it is accurate, but it would just be fun to watch it. Lifetime movies can be cheesy, but I must admit, once you start watching them, you can't just not know the ending! Haha. ;)

Have a fantastic weekend! :D

American Idol Season 10 :)

Happy Thursday!

Were you able to watch the season 11 premiere of American Idol last night?

I know most people are a bit skeptical about whether or not American Idol can still stay on air -- Simon left, Ellen being a judge didn't work out too well, Kara left too, and I have to admit, last season wasn't all that great. But, it seems like this new season will be better.

It does feel weird to not have Simon and his snarky comments. The show is more light-hearted, easy going, and fun. I think the new judges, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, are good choices to go along with American Idol veterans Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest.

It's fun to watch Jennifer Lopez slowly learning how to say no. And, watch out for Steven Tyler's facial expressions and reactions. ;)


Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler know what they are talking about, not like Ellen (I love her, but really, she seemed so lost last season).

I've read that ratings went down, but I'm really hoping that this season won't disappoint.

Another thing that I will be looking forward to (besides the changes in the show) is Jennifer's outfits and looks, of course! She looks so beautiful and her clothes, accessories, and makeup are perfect!



I think by the end of this season, I will definitely make a post on Jennifer's American Idol outfits. :D

I hope you had or are having a good Thursday! :D

Quick post! :D

Hi everyone! How was your Wednesday? :D

This post will be short because my sister needs to use the laptop to type her homework, and I've been sitting here for a couple of hours now visiting my fellow bloggers. Haha. ;)

Remember my post about the weather here in LA - and how it can't seem to make up its mind?

*please click here to view it*

Look what I saw when I went to go check the weather forecast for tomorrow:

97... 102... 105??!! Woah there.

Good thing I thought of leaving out some of my dresses when I kept my summer clothes today.

Some other news, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler are the new American Idol judges!

I think they are going to be good judges! Very good choice. I'm excited for the new season of American Idol. I'm really hoping the show redeems itself. :D

What do you think?

Oh, and Happy First Day of Fall! :)

My Official Farewell to Summer!

TGIF, everyone! Yay for another weekend. I expect that most of us had a busy week, so today's post won't be too long. I just want to have my official farewell to summer.

I know a lot of us have been posting about Fall outfits and such for weeks now, but yes, finally, next week (September 22/23... which one is it?) marks the official start of Fall 2010. That being said, I would like to give one last hurrah to summer...

Belly tops, flip flops

Lemonade, in the shade

Blue skies, hot guys,

Late nights water fights,

Ice creams, sweet dreams,

Bathing suits, shooting hoops,

Party time, schools out,

Sleeping in,sneaking out

Summer's coming...

Summer oh ten, let it begin.

(from http://www.quotelicious.com/)

Now, even though I think they could've done a much better video, there is no denying that I love this song. To me, this is the official song of Summer 2010! What's yours? :D







Let's say hello to Autumn/Fall 2010, everyone! :D



"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting

and autumn a mosaic of them all."

- Stanley Horowitz

(from http://www.egreenway.com/)

Okay, well, we really don't get those gorgeous orange leaves here in California... but, they're just so beautiful to look at. And yeah, another thing, it will probably still feel like summer until maybe late October/ early November. Haha, oh California, how I love you.

But nevertheless, I am excited to wear something like that outfit above... maybe in December when it gets really cold, haha! ;)

I can't wait to wear these...

and these...

I don't really have a song for Fall, but these are the stuff I'm excited for:

Glee comes back on September 21st!

Both Grey's Anatomy and The Mentalist comes back on September 23rd!

Another favorite of mine, Ghost Adventures, comes back tonight! :D

What TV shows are you excited for?

What will you miss the most about Summer 2010? What are you looking forward to this coming Fall?
