It's Homecoming Season!

I miss my sister! I talked to her yesterday and she told me that homecoming is coming up! I think every school does their own thing, but at her high school they have a football game on Friday and a semi-formal dance Saturday night. I wish that I was home so I could go dress shopping with her! Here are some of my choices Maddie. Make me proud ;)

Ombre...Nails!

To continue this week's theme of the ombre style, here is a gorgeous set of manis that are so easy to do at home! Either fading down the nail or across your hand, this look is gorgeous. I tried this yesterday and it turned out way cool, similar to this first one. Enjoy!

Ombre...Hair!

Last weekend before school starts! Wow, Summer went by fast. This hairstyle is a constant reminder of the hair-lightening power that the sun brings us and I'm so in love. I was a skeptic at first, especially with straight hair, but it has totally grown on me. I think this will be my next hair adventure!

Pallet Fever

New obsession: The Rachel Zoe Project. I get to witness this neurotic, pregnant, stylist turned designer try to manage her stylish and fabulous life. She might be a little cranky and feisty most of the time, but it also a major joy to witness the process that it takes to put a great outfit together especially during awards season. 

Switching gears from fashion to being crafty and eco-friendly, I'm also in love with repurposed home furniture! They're building new classrooms next door and have pallets laying everywhere which  totally inspired this montage of refurbished wood. Check out these pallets turned headboards/coffee tables/shelves and so much more.

Red Hot Emmys

I think they all must have called each other before they decided on their dresses last night...either way, crimson was definitely in on the red carpet tonight.

My favorite has to be Nina Dobrev in her red hot Donna Karan strapless work of art. The texture is gorgeous and lets the simple cut speak for itself. The gathering at the bottom is perfect for this formal event without being too over the top.

Lea Michele knows how to work it. She looks gorgeous in this stunning Marchesa dress and even after being mocked by Modern Family  actress Sarah Hyland on Fashion Police, she holds her head high.

Friday Night Lights  walked away with a win! They received best writer and best actor went to hottie dad/coach, Kyle Chandler. Connie Britton looks like the hottest coach's wife ever in this rust colored wonder.

One-Shoulder Fake-Out

Love love LOVE this style of dress. It could pass as a strapless dress but a simple draping of fabric turns it into a one-shoulder wonder. Modern Family  wins my heart with Sarah and Sofia's (all too similar) gowns.

Loving Maxis

I still love maxis! Summer's almost over and this trend is about to fade with it. Here's one last hoorah to the dress that took over fashion magazines for the past 6 months. I can see this dress making a transition into fall wardrobes with the right color, texture, and accessories. My goal has been to find more of these to add to my closet as a go-to look; so far Forever21 and H&M have had some finds. (Jump to the bottom to find Shelby's latest discovery!)

Check out this first dress modeled by the beautiful SPU soccer player, Brittany! I love this dress and even though maxis don't need to fit as precisely as other styles of dresses, this is just the right length for this Cali hottie. 

Brittany & Matt!

Last but not least, Shelby's getting this dress for a winter wedding! I love how the color takes this Summer style into the next season.
