MTV Movie Awards Style Recap

Anyone who knows me well will probably be pretty surprised aboout who I choose as my style picks for last night's MTV Movie Awards. I admit I tend to be a hater on both of these chicks (and I promise it's not because I'm jealous of their boyfriend's but let's be serious... I am). I just actually think both usually make either boring (in the case of J) or weird and awkward (in the case of K) fashion choices. But last night? Both surprised me as perfection!

Style Pick #1: Kristen Stewart in Dolce & Gabanna
K. Stew literally stole the show as Twilight one EVERYTHING but we were even more pleased that she finally made some good fashion choices! The Dolce & Gabanna Tweed and Sequin embellished dress is young, fun and a little edgy just like Kristen. What we love more is her hair is finally looking good again! The long ponytail is pretty and softens up her usual hard look. We also like the strappy shoes and long necklace.

Style Pick #2: Jessica Biel in Giambattista Valli
Jessica Biel looked positively flirty, fun and fabulous in this combo sheer chiffon and feathered skirt Giambattista Valli creation. The coquette-ish look is a huge deviation from what we see her usually wear (simple sheiths or flannels and jeans) and we think it was fitting since she was presenting the Best Kiss award. The finishing touches on this look? The cute as a button baby pink belt, statement earrings and crystal encrusted ankle strap heels.

Who was your favorite last night?

My new (old) favorite mini bag



So this is a long over due topic I have been wanting to write about. In fact, based upon my experience shopping on opening day at the NYC 59th street location, I have seriously thought about starting a blog just to post about the fab finds I picked up from the Jimmy Choo for H&M collection. Now, I know this is old news. And you probably heard about it months ago from plenty of other people. But let me explain why its still a relevant collection for me. I give you exhibit A: my Jimmy Choo for H&M zebra leather clutch. I don't know what the official name of it was, but it should be PERFECTION in a EVENING BAG.

Let me tell you why I love it. It's a little bit rocker, its alittle bit sexy, its a lot of look in a small package. Its got animal print + studs, plus gold chain strap. I could totally see my favorite reality star, Kim Kardashian rocking this with one of those sexy bandage dresses that are showing up in her Bebe Collection. I also have rocked this with jeans and a white tee-shirt and it totally looked chic.

Although you can't get your hands on this bag anymore (sad face) lucky for you I have spotted a few alternatives out there and saksfifthavenue.com had a ton of fun ones to choose from in their "mini bag" section. See link below: http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductArray.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306443933&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395222441&bmUID=1266490956012&use_parent=1&SECSLOT=LN-Mini+Bags

I'm partial to the Kate Spade Quilted Leather Lauralee Bag (love pewter accents) and the Carlos Falchi (huge fan of his!) Embossed Micro-fiber Mini Shoulder Bag. If budget isn't an issue then I'd definitely go for the Dolce & Gabanna Miss Martini Patchwork Pony. Sexy!
