Grammy's 2015 Fashion Favorites

Hey bloggers, welcome back to my page! Is it just me, or does this week feel like it's just dragging on... and it's only Tuesday. Hashtag lol. Anyway, as we all know, the 57th annual Grammy Awards were on Sunday and it was quite a show. I didn't really know who was nominated prior to the show, but I was happy with all the wins. The performances were actually pretty fantastic as well, my personal favorite was Madonna's. I mean, we gotta give the woman credit. She's 56 and she's movin' and groovin' on that stage like she owns it... Catchy new song too. #LivingForLove

Unfortunately, Madonna didn't make my Fashion Favorites list... BUT below are the selected few that did! Again, all of these choices come from personal taste and these are definitely outfits that I'd wear on a red carpet.  If that ever happens. A girl can dream, right?

These are more of the simple looks of the night, but as we all remember from my Golden Globes Fashion Favorites, that's what I prefer. Simple, yet sophisticated and elegant. And the stars ROCKED these looks on the carpet. I'm loving this new jumpsuit trend on the red carpet that some of these celebrities are pulling off, it's super edgy and different. 

But...did anyone see the memes that were made about Rihanna's dress? Or Iggy Azalea's hair? I can't... Moving on...


Gwen Stefani in Versace (Best one out of all of them. OBSESSED with this look!)
Katherine McPhee in Pucci
Ariana Grande in Versace
Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman in Thierry Mugler
Anna Kendrick in Brand of Outsiders
Taylor Swift in Elie Saab

And that just about does it for my Fashion Favorites: Grammy's edition! Feel free to share your faves as well. I'm sure I'll be back for the Academy Awards because that's pretty much the most glamorous night in Hollywood. Lots of looks to choose from then! Hope you guys enjoyed and I'll see you in my next post. xo

Liebster Award!


It's Friday! TGIF, ya know what I'm sayin'. 

Hey guys! So, I've been nominated for a Liebster Award by one of my favorite bloggers, Literally Liz! Check out her blog if you haven't yet. This is really awesome, and thank you so much again for the nomination! If you guys aren't so sure about what a Liebster Award is, it's an award given to new bloggers by other new bloggers to promote each others' blogs. Here are the set of rules that were given to me by Liz!

  • Link the person who nominated you
  • Answer the questions given by the nominator
  • Nominate 11 other bloggers who have less than 200 followers
  • Create 11 questions for the nominees to answer
  • Notify all nominees via social media/blogs
My 11 Liebster Award Nominations:


My questions from Liz:

1. What made you start blogging? Well, I'm going to school to become a journalist and I've always had a passion for writing. Blogging's been in the back of my mind for the longest time as something I wanted to start doing. I mean, why not share your passion with others who share the same interests? I had a blog before this about a year ago that didn't go anywhere, so I stopped. I started this blog about two weeks ago and it's been a ton of fun. Liz actually motivated me to start back up again after a nice little twitter convo about how much I loved her blog! So big shout out to Literally Liz! :) 

2. What's a skill you don't have, but you really wish you did? Hmm... In all honesty, I wish I had sewing skills. Lol! One of my aunts knows how to sew and she's made the prettiest blankets, scarves, etc. She's made me the most adorable beanie that's practically glued to my head every winter. I don't know, I just feel like it would be interesting to learn and make your own clothes or something.

3. What's your favorite quality about yourself? (Either look-wise or personality wise) I'm very honest, which is a quality I take pride in. I don't like sugarcoating things, if I'm upset about something I'll tell you straight up. I've dealt with too many people in my life who were insincere and who lied left and right. I can't deal with that. 

4. What is your favorite makeup brand? I love Maybelline. Judging from my "Beauty Favorites" post last night, the majority of my makeup products are Maybelline. I didn't notice that until I wrote about it. Haha! I'm really starting to get into Nyx, too!

5. What song are you embarrassed to have on your playlist? Oh boy... I just looked through my iPod and literally found "Dance Me If You Can" by The Cheetah Girls. Oh my god. Why. Reminder to self: update music. 

6. Have you stuck with your New Years' Resolutions so far? I didn't make any real specific resolutions this year... I guess one would be to keep up-to-date with my blog, which is something I failed to do with my last one. So I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far! :)

7. Do you have any pets? If so, what are they and how long have you had them? Indeed I do! I have the 2 sweetest doggies in the entire world and I'm obsessed with them. One is a Jack Russell Pug named Wrinkles. I've had him for 10 years. My other doggie is a Chihuahua named Oliver! He's a baby, only 1 1/2 years old and I've had him since Sept. 2013. 

8. What is your favorite show to binge-watch on Netflix? Unfortunately, I don't have Netflix! *insert thumbs down emoji here* BUT I binge-watch Parenthood like it's nobody's business. I am DREADING the series finale in two weeks. There will be no tissues left in the world because of the amount of tears I'm going to shed. I wish I was kidding. #TeamBraverman

9. What is one thing people who know you would be surprised to find out about you? This is a toughie. I don't think I have any hidden characteristics my family and friends don't already know about me. 

10. Mac or PC? I just recently became Team Mac. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm loving it. 

11. What is your favorite place you've ever been on vacation? I think the Bahamas when I went on the Disney cruise with my aunt and cousins. Puerto Rico was beautiful as well. Ugh, I want to travel more. There are so many places I want to go. Cough, Cough, Ireland.

My questions for the nominees:

1. What is your favorite thing to blog about?
2. If you could travel to any place in the world, where would it be and why?
3. Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?
4. What's your favorite television show?
5. What is your chosen career path in life?
6. Who is your favorite clothing designer?
7. Sephora or Ulta?
8. What is your makeup obsession?
9. What three characteristics do you look for most in a significant other?
10. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?
11. Favorite eye shadow palette? 

That concludes my Liebster Award post! Hope you all enjoyed learning a little more about me and I can't wait to read everyone's answers to my questions. Have a fabulous weekend blogger world. xo
