Style Files: Shannon Woodward

Queen Bee — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 04:36:42 +0000

Shannon Woodward’s adorable character Sabrina (from Fox’s Raising Hope) is all about casual when it comes to style.

But in real life, Shannon Woodward is a style queen, especially when it comes to the red carpet. Her fun and flirty red carpet style is the perfect inspiration for prom, winter ball, or upcoming holiday parties.

For some reason, navy is often overlooked as a potential dress color. It’s dark, sophisticated, and complements so many fun colors like pink, orange, yellow, and red.

For example, try this look for your holiday party. Total cost: $130.

Dress and Shoes from Lulus.com

Of course, a little black dress is always a great choice too.

This LBD from Nasty Gal is my absolute favorite. The asymmetrical ruffles add an extra touch of fun while still leaving your look just as classy.

And print dresses are lovely way to go, especially this lace and striped number from Tibi.

You can get this EXACT dress for only $75 at Rent the Runway.

Prom Color: Teal

Queen Bee — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 07:22:27 +0000

Teal is projected to be the hot color of the year, most likely inspired by the current 80s trend. The “teal” label seems to run the gamut of colors from green-blue to plain old blue. Personally, I love teal. I think it looks fabulous on blonds, brunettes, dark skin, and light skin…pretty much everyone! Just check out this sexy dress.

As you know, I also love print dresses like this cutie.

Teal shoes are a bit tougher to find, but you can always wear another color like black, fuchsia, silver, or gold. If you’ve got your heart set on a pair of teal shoes, BCBG has a cute pair.

And so does Nordstrom.

For your accessories, you can go teal, or black, pearls, diamonds, silver, or gold. I love the jewels on this headband. I would remove them and glue them to a hair clip or some feathers for a chic hair accessory.

From forever21.com

If you aren’t a DIY gal, check out this flower and feather accessory from etsy. So cute!

For jewelry, these earrings would look gorgeous with a flowy print maxi dress.

And etsy has some beautiful necklaces like this one.

And last but not least, you’ll need a purse. I’m in love with this gorgeous clutch from Aspinal of London. This is more on the blue end of “teal”, but it’s so chic I’m going to ignore that fact!

From aspinaloflondon.com

For a less matchy-matchy look, choose a complementary color like this gold purse.

Will you be wearing teal this year?

Must Have

Queen Bee — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:21:59 +0000

I just saw Katy Perry’s article in Glamour Magazine and I MUST have this dress! I’m still on the hunt for the name of the designer, but I’ll update when I find it.

Love it, like it, or hate it?

Print Prom Dresses

Queen Bee — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 04:53:06 +0000

I know I’m early, but I just couldn’t help myself! Print dresses are my absolute favorite trend for prom this year. They have tons of personality and come in so many styles, colors and patterns. Here are some of my favorites from La Femme.

From lafemmefashion.com

Most of La Femme’s print dresses are maxi cut and would look great on almost every body type.

Jovani also has some gorgeous print dresses with more of a princess look. If I were still in high school, this would so be my prom dress!
