Targeted Findings - Budgeted Glam.

Few days ago I stopped in Target Store and with sad disappointment I’ve discover that the store had been hijacked by a huge grocery department squishing clothing department into a very tiny and unwelcoming section, meaning less variety of schmattes would be there to impress or disappoint us.


I picked few items that I found to be at a descent quality in a trendy mainstream, with a styling ideas of glamour on the budget.

Animal print is a huge hit this season. Xhilaration® Juniors Tank Moccasin/Black Animal Print Maxi Dress ($24.99 @Target.com or $17.48 in stores) great to pair it with cargo or denim jacket, huge messenger bag would work great, wear wedges for extra height (Nine West Altan Vintage Amarica Sandals on sale $53.40, Jellypop Women's Cliffs Tan Woven $44.99 @Sears.com) or flats for maximum comfort.



Stripes another major trend. Xhilaration® Juniors Tank Black/White Stripe Maxi Dress is a wonderful way to show-off fashionable you. Wear it with white fitted or denim jacket or just through a Merona® Women's Boatneck Pullover linen/cotton blend in white ($24.99 - great quality, perfect price). Bright accessory would fit here perfect (bright yellow bag @Marshalls $24.99) or white tote from Brooks Brothers ($39.00 on winter sale) Nine West Yarrow Vintage Amarica Sandals (on sale $47.40) or Nine West Blanca Wedges ($99.00) will give you balanced height.




Go International Designer collection. I picked Proenza Schouler for Target® Bustier Dress in Purple ($31.48). I loved it first because it 100% cotton, second it has a great structured fit in great color. Knee length make it suitable for a office attire (just top it with fitted blazer) or a wonderful piece for a summer outdoor reception, don’t forget to put a hat for a stylish statement and sun protection.




Floral Print Cotton Dress. I loved this Mossimo Supply Co. Junior Tie Waist Floral Print Cotton Dress ($17.48 in stores only) great for summer weekend out. Add pop of colors in from of accessories: bags, espadrilles (Nine West Jaxson Vintage America Collection $79.00), hats, bangles.


Hold Bright Bloomy Summer Days for your Inspiration!

Have a Fun and Happy Summer!

The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet.

It was a night of little disappointment, as most gowns was up to par, few jokes from Ricky Gervais was mean enough to crack a smile, though few small lapses leave room for some constructive criticism.

Ever since I first saw Natalie Portman as a kid in film “The Professional” I was taken by the girl’s immense talent, from that point I have seen her multi dimensional abilities to get in to a role and deliver most convincing character. I was happy for her win of this year Golden Globe, she truly deserve it. Nevertheless I was sad not to see her dressed in something more substantial for such a grand occasion, at such epic point of her carrier and life. Though with some modifications dress could look a bit more flattering. I wasn’t too thrilled of a fabric choice; fresh pink color was nice, but the strong glair the silk was reflected contributed to dress’s coarseness. And of course the rose, it was way to obvious, the stamp was absolutely unnecessary addition. When you have a statement peace a part of a dress you have to be easy on the jewelry, sometimes totally avoid it; the hand embroidered crystal rose was too strong of a statement to be paired with necklace. A pair of earring would be appropriate.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was absolutely radiant, interesting gown, greatly fitted, very trendy color. Except for her hair, I would definitely lift it up; plus because of textured nature of fabric I would suggest different choice of earrings, with less details, more graphic with clean and straight lines.

When you have a curvy figure it’s best to accentuate your waist line. Which in case of Jennifer Lopez was done exactly the opposite, by putting jeweled poncho she shaded out her defined waist that made her look bulky.

 For some extravagance she should ask Harry Winston to make shawl.

Posture! When you bear your shoulders it’s absolutely imperative to pay attention on your posture. I would want Julianna Margulies open up her shoulders, she is gorgeous woman and she should be proud of herself and achievements on “The Good Wife” which by the way a very great series (love it!). Adore her YSL ensemble, but her low-rise bustier leaving too much opened skin, which would benefit by adding a necklace (preferably whitish).

Love Emma Stone's dress! But I have a feeling it’s chocking her, I would open it’s neckline about ½ inch, that would visually elongate her neck.

When you make firework show in your back your backyard last thing you want is your neighbor to having laser show next to you. Taking the hair out of the raffles on her shoulder would give them some air and proportions.

Impeccable gown lovingly outline flawless curves, nevertheless her lifeless makeup made her more appropriate for a high-profiled funeral rather then Golden Globes.

Always graciously glamorous Helen Mirren did have a clash between the embroidered sleeves and her necklace.

Love Olivia Wilde's dress, love her shoes, but in suppurate ensembles.
