December Inspiration Board

May I just say that the black dress shown above is not only absoutely adorable in person (yes I had to try it on) but it looks great on anyone, is perfect for the holidays, and could be worn again and again. Not to mention it fits the role of the classic little black dress and is sporting one of this fall's top trends: ruffles.

2008 AMA Fashion: The good, the bad and the ugly

The stars came out for the 2008 AMA's last night and as usual on the red carpet there were those who looked goregous and those who looked... not so goregous. So we're here going to break down the good, the bad, and the ugly for the 2008 AMAs.

The Good

As with every red carpet there are those stars who just outshine the rest. The two that caught out eye were Alicia Keys, and Taylor Swift. Alicia Keys went for glamourous in a beautiful blue floor length gown with silver beading. And beading seemed to be the theme for the night with stars such as Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, and Miley Cyrus donning beaded dresses for the event. Speaking of Taylor Swift, she was the other favorite of ours for the night. She stunned in a silver off-the-shoulder sequined dress. All we can say is these girls always know how to dress for a red carpet.

The Bad

Every red carpet it's inevitable that some people are gonna show up looking less than their best. The 2008 AMAs were no exception. First up was Nicole Scherzinger, I was suprised when I found out this dress was by Project Runway winner Christian Siriano. Not that the dress was that bad but it wasn't great and it might have looked better if the skirt was just a little longer, it kind of looked like it didn't fit well. Then there was Pink. What is with the crazy print and sequins? I know sequins were big on the carpet but someone needs to show her how to wear then right. Someone might also want to show Vanessa Minnillo because her outfit was no better. Short, plunging neckline, gold sequins and sheer mesh are never a good mix. All I can say is better luck next year ladies.

The Ugly

Again as with any red carpet, there are those who are a hit and those who just miss it completely. This year Rihanna showed up in what looked like a unfinished dress. With a uneven hemline, ruffles and matching glovelets this dress was a mess. The top half wasn't bad, but the bottom was just a mess. Another mess on the carpet was Colbie Caillat. Her dress was short, stiff and green. Not only was it not flattering but it was actually made of flowers, yes flowers. The dress was made from fresh flowers the day of the award show. It was a great idea but next time please just stick with a normal dress.
