Rachel McAdams wearing Louis Vuitton dress for the premier of Midnight in Paris!

I recently watched Midnight in Paris. I absolutely loved it, but it may not be for everyone. If you appreciate Artsy type of films, then this should be at the top of your list to see! 


Not only did I love the movie, but I also had the pleasure of seeing it at the Avon Theater in Stamford, CT. What a treat!  That's what you get when you watch a movie at the Avon Theater! Imagine being able to use a time travel machine and going back to the 1930's! Definitely fun to dress up and have date night at this theater! The Avon theater gives a very classic artsy, sundry, and spectacular feel. The theater is very clean, and has these lovely shadow boxes that light up with 1930's decor.



Now let's talk about Fashion! I loved Rachel McAdams wardrobe in the movie even though she definitely repeated her outfits! Check out this stunning dress she wore to the premier!

Handsome date: Rachel's new love Michael Sheen was also at the event and the pair were spotted slipping out of the venue after the screening
Rachel McAdams - arriving with new love Michael Sheen - looked stunning in her thigh-slashed Louis Vuitton dress which billlowed in the wind!

My new favorite nail polish colors! OPI!

I love nail polish, and enjoy getting my nails manicured once a week. I usually bring my own colors in case I mess up my nails during the week; however, I sometimes will find a unique color that interests me at the salon!  I am usually an ESSIE girl, but OPI is starting to really pique my interest! 


Let's not forget that Sephora is going to have their own Nail Studio Art + Lacquer Services with the latest colors from Sephora by OPI, and more! Check out my latest post for details: http://steffashionista.blogspot.com/2011/07/sephora-is-opening-nail-service-bars-in.html


Back to my new favorite shades! Check out a couple of them below. Do you like them? I want to hear from you!

A fabulous find I have to share from small town Garner, NC!

A friend of mine posted this beautiful dress on facebook. I asked her who the designer was, and guess what she told me? She bought it for $10.00 at Ross Dress for Less!!! The unknown designer is Cristinalove. 


I personally do not have the patience to shop at places like Ross and Marshalls because I do not shop well in chaotic stores where all of the clothes are all over the place; however, after seeing this dress, I just might have to give it another shot! Love Love Love this cute summer dress!






Thanks, Kathy for allowing me to share this. Kathy is a great Zumba instructor, and a personal friend, so be sure to check her facebook page and join her Zumba classes if you are in the Garner (Scotty McCreery) area... ;)

Julia Roberts Airbrushed Ad Banned in Britain! What are your thoughts?

I recently read an article (below) on how Britain banned an airbrushed cosmetic ad.  I personally think it was a smart move. I am so tired of seeing flawless looking celebrities on ads when in reality they are airbrushed. 


For instance, Drew Barrymore looks amazing in her Covergirl ads, but when you see her in an interview or movie, she doesn't have that flawless look she had in the Covergirl ad. It makes us think we can achieve that look with the advertised "brand", or even worse, we start to compare ourselves to these "flawless" women. I am all for makeup, but let's have a little bit of natural beauty with age! Thoughts?

Julia Roberts Airbrushed Ad Banned in Britain
Lancome

Make-up advertisements featuring actress Julia Roberts and supermodel Christy Turlington have been banned in the UK because of their controversial use of airbrushing.

Britain's Advertising Standards Agency issued the ban after politician Jo Swinson complained about the two ads, for foundation products made by L'Oreal's Maybelline and LancĂ´me brands.

Swinson has waged a long-running campaign against “overly perfected and unrealistic images” of women in advertisements.

"Excessive airbrushing and digital manipulation techniques have become the norm, but both Christy Turlington and Julia Roberts are naturally beautiful women who don't need retouching to look great," Swinson said.

L'Oreal admitted the photographs it used had been digitally manipulated and retouched. But both make-up giants said they were "disappointed" at the ASA's ruling, insisting that The Eraser and Teint Miracle were scientifically proven, and pointing to consumer tests which showed users were satisfied with their results.

Do you think the ASA’s ruling was excessive? Are the perfect-looking beauties in cosmetic ads a threat to women? Tell us!

Are you getting Smurfy with it yet? Check out Katy Perry's Smurfy clothes!

Got to love her smurfy outfit! Can't wait to see the movie! Would you smurf this dress?


Check Out Katy Perry's Smurf-tastic Premiere Dress

Katy PerryDimitrios Kambouris/WireImage.com




























Katy Perry voiced a Smurf and she liked it.

Of course, that's probably a safe thing to say seeing what the pop star opted to wear for the New York City premiere of The Smurfs at the Ziegfeld Theatre on Sunday.

As most know by now, it's Perry who moviegoers will hear whenever Smurfette opens her mouth in the upcoming family flick.

But it wasn't just the dress that proved Perry was in the Smurf spirit. The newly blonde singer complemented it with both blue eyeshadow and high-heels as well as featuring some of the other characters on her fingernails.

The Smurfs hits theaters this Friday

Jennifer Aniston in a Valentino Haute Couture frock for the premier of horrible bosses! What a dress! Must see!

Jennifer Aniston shines in a metallic beaded Valentino Haute Couture frock and ballet-pink peep-toes at the London premiere of Horrible Bosses.


This embroidered champagne dress is not only stunning, but it is also a beautiful classic piece that can be worn in years to come! So tell me, how do you feel about the shoes? Is it a hit or miss?


Now about the movie. I loved it! Not just because I am a huge fan of Jason Bateman! The story-line was hilarious! Check it out if you are looking for a good laugh!
