Jessica Alba looked so amazing when she showed up to the American Museum of Natural History Dance. She wore Narciso Rodriguez, and boy did it look fantastic on her. I love everything about this look (especially the color on her)! Oh yeah, and her hubby Cash Warren looked great too. What an adorable couple.

Pick of the Day


With the warm weather being just around the corner I'm obsessed with looking at cute summery dresses. Only a few more months and us girls in the northeast can bust them out of our closets (can I just add how jealous I am of all of you that are already having amazing weather where you live!). This Mini Golf Dress available at Mod Cloth is just too cute for words! Hooray for colorblocking! That is definitely a trend I will never get enough of. This dress also comes with a white tie belt which makes it extra girlie. Get one now...you know this will sell out fast.

Dear Snapshot Fashion...

Dear Snapshot Fashion,

I have recently ventured into the world of online dating....and much to my surprise I am actually going to have dinner with someone i met!!!
WHAT DO I WEAR?!
I'm trying not to panic - I really did not expect to actually have any success with this and now I am stuck in-between paychecks (meaning I have no spending money to buy a new outfit) basically set myself up on a blind date and the guy is cute enough that I do actually want to show up and make a good impression. Scratch that. I want to make a GREAT first impression. So I must admit that it has been a very long time since I have been on any kind of formal date. This, of course, only adds to my panic. I don't know whether to wear jeans or a skirt....heels or flats...hair up, hair down.....my questions are endless...
I'm so nervous as it is....I'd like to at the very least to walk in that restaurant looking great so that even if we don't click, he can at least tell his friends i was cute.
Help me Snapshot Fashion! You're my only hope!

Signed,
Scared of Spinsterhood

*************************************************************************************************

Dear Scared of Spinsterhood-

Wow, where do I begin?!?! First let me wish you luck on your date. Secondly, let me say this...CALM DOWN! Snapshot Fashion to the rescue!!! We are going to go over some basic dressing to impress guidelines and show you some outfits and items that you might already have in your closet that would look great for such an occasion.

I always say that it is better to dress up than be underdressed. Personally, I feel that first dates are rather casual. But I am in NO WAY saying you show up wearing sneakers and a ponytail. Jeans are always a great item to wear...but please make sure they fit you well (not baggy or too tight...and NO MUFFIN TOPS PLEASE!). Pair them with a cute top, cardigan, or blazer. I think if you wear jeans you should wear heels with them.However, if you are rather tall you can get away with ballet flats.

If you feel like showing some leg dresses and skirts are always a great option. But remember this is a date...not the office. So just make sure it is something cute and fun...and please keep it classy.

Wow! Kristen Stewart was a show stopper at the L.A. premiere of her latest flick, Adventureland. She wore a coral color dress from Herve Leger by Max Azria. The color looks absolutely amazing on her...and the print of the dress is so flattering!

What do you think of this dress? Would you wear it?

Dress Like a Celebrity

I just love Whitney Port's style! And I thought it was very appropriate to put up a dress like a celebrity post today featuring her since tonight is the season finale of The City. Yes, it is my guilty pleasure. Anyone else watch it??? The finale will air tonight on MTV at 10pm eastern. For a Whitney spoiler that probably won't air tonight (since this just happened) CLICK HERE.

This photo of Whit was taken when she was at a taping of N.Y.C.'s PIX morning show. This look was really simple yet classic...and would look fantastic on anyone.

Skinny jeans (in a light wash) + black blazer+ cami with lace trim+ gold necklace+ snakeskin flats= Whitney's fabulous look!

We put together our version of this look. We added a bolder color cami to our look. What do you think of this look? Is it something you'd wear?

Pick of the Day


I just love this Tuscon Blossoms Dress available at Free People. This printed jersey dress has removable straps, a sash that goes along the empire waist and ties in the back, and the bodice is lined with mesh and has boning on the sides. This dress could easily be worn for work by throwing on a cardigan or layering the dress over a basic tee...or make it date appropriate by taking off the removable straps and wearing some stilettos. This dress comes in two colors: Charcoal (shown) and French Blue.

Dress Like a Celebrity

Rachel Bilson is one of my all time favorite celebrities when it comes to fashion. She always looks adorable when she is on the red carpet...but she also looks great when she is just running errands around town. Her laid back style is anything but sloppy.

She was recently photographed in this denim & cardigan look. I love the yellow on her. To me it looks like something most of us probably have in our closet (or could easily stop buy the mall and pick up items that we are lacking).

We wanted to show all our readers just how simple it is to pull together this Rachel Bilson inspired look. Our look is a dead ringer for the original. Click on the collage below to see where we got our items from. And good news, we tried to keep our version very wallet friendly!

This Printed V-Neck Dress from BCBG is so stunning I just can't take my eyes off of it! This black and white day dress is anything but boring...complete with cap sleeves, a V-shaped neckline, and a gathered detail at center front with contrast empire waist. What I really love about this dress is that it is classic and won't ever be going out of style.

What Was She Thinking???


If I was playing a word association game and someone threw out the name Diane Kruger I would shout out FASHIONABLE, STYLISH, TREND-SETTER. But...then I came across this picture of her in a gown by Valentino and I had to try to control my gag reflexes. Just what was she thinking? Is it just me or does she look like she is wearing an old lady's nightgown?

Does anyone like this look? We want to hear what you think of it!

One item you will want to make sure that you have in your closet for this spring/summer is a pair of bold shoes. Shoes that are bright in color and bold in pattern are a must have accessory! We have put together a bunch of our favorites...some that are very inexpensive (personally, I like to spend very little on trends), and some that are of better quality.
