The Emmys 2010: Best Dressed

30 Aug

Hands down – the Best Dressed of this year’s Emmys is Lea Michele, who wore a stunning strapless navy Oscar de la Renta gown – complete with adorning ruffles. She also accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

This dress is just breathtaking and perfectly designed artistically. It looks as scrumptious as a truffle. Could you imagine wearing such a piece of Oscar brilliance? I’m in love.

But back to Lea – she was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, but lost to Edie Falco. I, however, felt that Lea or any of the other nominated women should have won. But that’s just me.

Yet, Lea did wear a gorgeous gown and went to the Emmys on her birthday so – that’s a win.

Also – who’s excited for Glee?

Vanessa Hudgens: Denim Casual

26 Aug

Because jonotjoe weblog wouldn’t be jonotjoe weblog without a Vanessa Hudgens post.

For a trip to the airport – a pair of ripped jeans, a black belt, a sheer top, a black sweater and the necessary accessories are all you really need.

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with sheer tops – I actually bought a sheer tee from the GAP this past weekend – but I wasn’t sure if the whole see-through-bra-showing bit was okay. Well, it looks like it is.

Dress of the Week: Drew Barrymore

26 Aug

To put it simply – without risking blabbering – Drew Barrymore is one of my Hollywood icons. From her repertoire of films (my all-time favorite being Ever After) – to her colorful personality – she is quite frankly an inspiration.

So there was without a doubt that she would be my Dress of the Week wearing a Catherine Malandrino gown at the ‘Going The Distance’ premiere in LA.

In an interview for Blackbook Magazine – Drew and Justin Long interviewed one another via email. Check out some of the questions here - but my favorite Q/A had to be this one:

Justin: How do you define happiness?

Drew: When you’re laughing so hard at something that it starts to hurt. It becomes truly painful and it won’t stop. And then, when it’s over, you think, I will remember that and I can’t wait until it happens again.

Plain White T’s: Rhythm of Love

25 Aug

One of my new favorite songs that has been on repeat on my ipod for the past couple of days has been:

Plain White T’s: Rhythm of  Love.

Their music video is an ode to love (of course) and summer – well, whatever is left of it now.

Isn’t it adorable? With only a couple more weeks of summer left – let’s try to enjoy it – with no more rain. Just an idea.

Kate Moss and Johnny Depp: Iconic ‘Then’ Couple

24 Aug

I never knew Kate Moss and Johnny Depp were an item (for four years) way back when. I recently saw pictures of the two (via Coco’s Tea Party via Kate Moss: The Complete Picture) and there were just adorable.

Don’t these pictures make your heart swell of celebrity couple bliss?

Iconic? Yes. But alas – the two broke up – as do all Hollywood couples – well most of them anyway. At least we have these pictures to swoon over. Also, Johnny Depp still looks that handsome.

Gossip Girl: Parlez Vous Gossip?

24 Aug

A few things.

1. I haven’t watched Gossip Girl in many-a-episodes (I blame Hilary Duff)

2. I just caught the new season’s trailer – and hello gossip!

3. I want their clothes.

4. I may have to dabble into this season – purely because of the fashion especially Blair’s stunning Oscar de la Renta dress. Just delectable.

Could this be the return of Gossip Girl? We’ll just have to tune in and find out. Also, can I rummage through their wardrobes? Please?

The Romantics – J.Crew

23 Aug

Remember how I told you about The Romantics and how I want to read it (should I ever get my reading mojo back) and see the movie? WELL – my friend Jess filled me in on the little photo shoot J.Crew had done with the cast of The Romantics and it made me giddy with sequins and swoony thanks to Seth (Adam Brody) from the O.C.

Fabulous isn’t it? I also just ordered my copy of The Romantics - and I will say that I ordered the original copy – not the motion picture cover.  I have a thing about those covers. Weird.

Nevertheless – I heart J.Crew and The Romantics.

James Franco: Howl.

23 Aug

We all know I love James Franco – if you didn’t know that – well, now you know. I am also not ashamed to admit that we are soulmates.

As for his new film, Howl? Swoon.

I can’t wait to see him in this – along with his dark-rimmed glasses.
