Happy Birthday to You!: Taylor Swift

Today is Swifty's 21st B-Day! So exciting. Taylor can finally legally slam back shots with her boyfriend Jakie. No matter what she does though, we hope she's looking chic like she does in the pic below. Gorgeous dress Taylor, even if it reads just a tad bit old. Enjoy your day and tomorrow, the bloody mary's on us.

Tied Up With Emily Blunt

Tie me up. Tie me down. Tie me with way too many ribbons. Emily Blunt, whose style we normally adore, had a bit of a misstep in our opinion as the ribbons and bows on the dress compete with the ribbons and bows on the shoes. We actually think the dress and shoes, separately, could be cute. Together, though, Em looks just a little too precious (and matchy-matchy) for us. Overall, not terrible or anything, but not great either.

Kate Bosworth in Jil Sander

Kate Bosworth recently attended the 2010 Hollywood Style Awards in the Jil Sander t-shirt ball gown, which we looooooooooved at Milan Fashion Week. Not everyone loved this like we did. And, as we sit here today, we're actually a little torn. We still very much like the idea of this very simple dress, turned elegant ball gown. And this may be sacrilegious, but there is something very J Crew about this dress (which is not necessarily a bad thing). We also think Kate looks young, fresh and fashion forward and better than the model as she actually fills the dress out.


But we kinda wish Kate had styled her look just a bit differently from the runway show and jazzed it up just a bit, with a sparkly statement necklace or some giant diamond studs. Of course, maybe that would defeat the purpose of the whole dress as an exercise in simplicity? What do you think readers? Perfect as is, Terrible all around, or Add some sparkle?
