Check out Nicole Richie's collection for QVC. See anything you want to get your hands on?

Beauty
The Beauty Department shows you how to change up a plain old ponytail. Cute!

First Miley Cyrus chopped off her locks, now Vanessa Hudgens is rocking a bob. Almost makes me want to cut my hair off, too. Almost.

Fall might be far away and I'm sure we're all sick of the cold temps, but with fashion week in full swing we are already looking to fall trends. Refinery29 shared the 15 beauty trends that they're psyched about for fall. Plus, who says you can't try them now?

Also check out 10 fall nail trends from NYFW. I love the nails at Rebecca Minkoff!

The Grammys were this past Sunday, so music's biggest names were there to walk the red carpet. Both Adele and Rihanna wore Giorgio Armani when they walked the carpet. Adele went for sequins and a much more modest look.

Rihanna, however, decided to show some skin with her revealing Armani gown. She also wore Christian Louboutin heels and carried a Jimmy Choo clutch.

Jessie J shimmered in a Julien Macdonald gown.

Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry chose to rock long dresses with sleeves. Carrie looked perfect in a white Gomez-Gracia gown. She carried a black Rene Caovilla clutch.

Although I wasn't a fan of Katy's hairstyle, I loved her blue Elie Saab gown. So pretty!

Another lady in blue... Lauren Conrad celebrated her birthday last weekend at Hyde in Las Vegas. She wore an Alice + Olivia Vista Sequined Tunic Dress and black pumps from her LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's line.

It's no surprise that Olivia Palermo has been busy attending lots of shows during New York Fashion Week. The fashionista was spotted out in New York keeping warm in a cozy coat, Paige Premium Verdugo Jeggings, and B Brian Atwood Paramour Booties.

Olivia wore a Tibi Horatio Striped Jacket over a Tibi silk chiffon blouse with skinnies and Mulberry pumps for the Tibi fashion show.

I absolutely love the Michael Kors dress Jessica Alba wore when she sat front row at the designer's show. Gorgeous color!

Misc.
Lauren Conrad shared not one, not two, but three DIYs for Valentine's Day. If you're looking to get crafty, why not try the Lucky in Love Jar? Or maybe you want to tell your friends or significant other they're "dynamite" with this DIY. Or perhaps Spare Kisses are too cute for you to resist? Will you make any of these?

Olivia Palermo always looks stylish, no matter what type of event she's attending. She was at the screening of Thin Ice recently. The fashionista wore a Haute Hippie Marabou Feather Vest over a sheer, white blouse, black skinnies, and Christian Louboutin booties. She accessories with a necklace and ring by Carrera y Carrera. She carried a Lulu Guinness clutch.

An Alexander Wang blazer, Tibi pants, and blue Manolo Blahnik pumps looked great on Olivia as she walked the red carpet for the Carlo Pazolini store opening. She added a pop of color with a yellow clutch and wore a Lulu Frost necklace.

This printed maxi dress looked perfect on Lauren Conrad while she was out and about in Los Angeles. She also carried a Chanel bag.

Kate Middleton and Vanessa Hudgens kept warm in their cozy coats recently. Kate attended the Lucien Freud exhibition in this coat and Jimmy Choo suede pumps. She also wore an Asprey pendant and a diamond cuff.

Vanessa has been busy promoting her latest movie these days. She stopped by Live! With Kelly in this Alice + Olivia dress and Yves Saint Laurent pumps. She kept warm in a black coat and carried a Chanel bag.

Short post this week. I didn't really find too many looks I wanted to share. Boo! :(

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!

365 Photo Project: #34-40

Don't worry! I haven't abandoned the 365 Photo Project! I've been taking my pictures, but hadn't had the chance to post them all until now. It was a crazy busy weekend. How many of you spent your Sunday heading to Target for the Jason Wu collection and watching the Superbowl? (I did. Even though I know nothing about sports.) And lately I've been on a job hunt and applying to various positions, so that's kept me busy! But, on to the pictures...

Friday, February 3rd - After reorganizing my necklaces, this Urban Outfitters jewelry hook is a lot less cluttered. Although, I have a ton of other necklaces I need to find places for...

 

Saturday, February 4th - It was chilly outside when I went to run errands. So, I kept cozy in this Sparkle & Fade Moto Sweater Jacket my mom got me for Christmas. (Plus, it's on sale at Urban Outfitters right now.)

 

Sunday, February 5th - Okay, I watched the Superbowl, but I don't understand football. So, I somewhat paid attention to the game while I reorganized my closet.

Monday, February 6th - Monday's outfit. A brown American Eagle cardigan I rediscovered while going through my clothes on Sunday. Target top. Dogeared bracelets. House of Harlow 1960 Key Cocktail Ring. OPI's Fly from the Nicki Minaj collection.

 

Tuesday, February 7th - One of my favorite StyleMint tees. Polka dots!

 

Wednesday, February 8th - Having some fun with the nail dotting tools I bought. Essie's French Affair and OPI's Fly.

Thursday, February 9th - New StyleMint tees! Love, love, love!

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were this past weekend, which means even more red carpet gowns to check out! The Glee ladies were looking quite fabulous for the night's festivities. Dianna Agron looked lovely  in a Carolina Herrera gown. Love the color!

The petite Lea Michele showed some leg in a gown by Versace.

Other Glee ladies looking good were Naya Rivera and Jayma Mays. Both ladies sparkled in their gowns on the red carpet. Naya went for a plunging neckline with this Naeem Khan gown.

Jayma chose a black Reem Acra gown.

I adore the red Valentino gown Michelle Williams wore. She paired the dress with Roger Vivier heels and Fred Leighton jewels. Michelle carried a Lanvin clutch.

The ladies of The Help certainly know how to look gorgeous on the red carpet. Emma Stone went for Alexander McQueen wearing a dress and heels from the label. She also carried an Alexander McQueen clutch.

Her co-star, Viola Davis, opted for white with this Marchesa gown. She also wore Jimmy Choo heels, Cathy Waterman jewels, and carried a Judith Leiber clutch.

Olivia Palermo and her boyfriend were spotted out and about in New York. She kept cozy in an oversized fur vest. Olivia also wore Dior sunnies, Stuart Weitzman boots, and carried a Hugo Boss bag. 

Vanessa Hudgens posed for photos with her boyfriend, Austin Butler, at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. She wore a Maria Lucia Hohan gown. Love that shade of yellow on her!

Vanessa's bestie, Ashley Tisdale, was also there to show her support. Ashley wore a Nightcap dress and Yves Saint Laurent Pumps. She also wore a gold Rolex and a Soixante Neuf Turquoise Tri Stone Shield Ring. Ash carried a Chanel bag.

Also at the Journey 2 premiere was Rachel McAdams. The blonde beauty wore a Peter Som ensemble.

Rachel was spotted out in New York while she was making her rounds on morning talk shows. She wore a Roland Mouret coat over a Peter Som dress.

Lauren Conrad knows it's important to be comfortable while traveling, but she still does it in style. She kept it casual for a recent flight in a coat, striped Enza Costa top, jeans, and black flats. She carried a Chanel bag.

Blake Lively recently attended a Godiva event in New York City. The Gossip Girl star wore a Valentino skirt over a white Valentino dress. She paired it with Christian Louboutin pumps.

Kristen Bell wore a floral Vanessa Bruno skirt for an appearance on Good Day L.A. Cute!
