Order in the Kourt

I love this outfit that Kourtney is wearing.

I would wear this on the weekends and even during the week with a few adjustments. So glad that bright colors are still very popular for Fall/Winter. Here is what I came up with.

Ann Taylor

Forever 21

I also love this color

I find it funny that MTV still hosts the VMAs, seeing how they never really have videos these days. I don't know, maybe they show videos on their other MTV channels. It would be more appropriate to be the What Video? Music Awards or the We Sold Out to Reality TV Shows Video Music Awards. How ironic that the first video played on MTV was "Video Killed the Radio Star" and now Reality TV killed the Video Star. I stopped watching the VMAs years ago, but am still curious to see what the stars are wearing.

Most media outlets are talking about Beyonce today. I think pregnancy becomes her. She looked radiant last night. So happy for her and Jay.

MTV

I believe when you have real talent, you don't have to be gimmick-y. I'm talking to you Lady Gaga!

Billboard

However, some people do have to be outlandish to stay relevent. That would be you Nicki Minaj!

The VMAs always bring out the crazy fashions. What I've seen so far online, I really only liked a few things.

Just Jared

Not really sure why Katie chose these shoes to wear, or why she posed like this (for every picture). Seems like she not only looks to Suri for fashion advice but also modeling poses. Where is Ms. J. when you need him?

Off to look up the Amy Winehouse tribute, and Adele and Beyonce's performances.

The Eyes Have It

Am I the only one who is smokey eye challanged? I have watched You Tube videos ad nauseum, and no matter how I try, cannot get my smokey eye to look right. I mean, it looks okay, but I want it to look great. Like this

Or this

Can't remember where I found this pic

I know I am totally out of the loop, because I am just now eyeing the Naked palette from Urban Decay, but not sure I want to splurge $50 for it just yet. Plus I have similar colors in my makeup arsenal, but its so pretty and friends swear by it. Hoping it will stay in stock until I ~~buy it on Friday~~ make up my mind.

I did pick this up at Icing by Claire's the other day for only $12.

Gonna try it out this weekend.

Star Gazing

I am in such a fall mood, as is probably evident by my last few posts. Unfortunately, we continue to have temps in the 90s. Hopefully with August coming to an end, we will soon be in the comfy 70s. I love rocking jeans/jeggings/leggings, blazers and/or scarves as the temps cool down. It is so versatile for most occasions.

I like Eva Longoria because she's petite like me and we are, ahem, around the same age. I love that she wears a lot of jeans, scarves/jacket combos in her downtime. I would wear all of these looks.

Plus, her hair is gorg. Completely forgot she used to rock her sassy short 'do.

Cape Fear

I really want to rock this trend come fall, but I'm not sure I can pull this off. To me, this looks better on taller people, but maybe I just haven't tried on the right one yet.
