The Internet: My 5 Faves This Week

1. This gorgeous, summery fashion spread in Vogue India featuring makeup by Edmonton's own Nickol Walkemeyer and hair by (also Edmonton's own!) Kirsten Klontz. I love seeing people from my hometown making it Big, it's inspiring!

2. Okay, so this lip sync battle between Emma Stone and Jimmy Fallon is hilarious. It actually went viral last week so I'm a little late. If you haven't seen it, you gotta watch.  It's legendary ; ).

3.  Poor Andre Leon Talley. The former Vogue editor-at-large was caught digging for gold while interviewing Kimye at the Met Ball. Made me giggle. I'm kinda weird.

4. Reading about Jodi Ann Bickley's One Million Lovely Letters project made me smile and I hope it makes you smile too : ).

5. I've viewed Sia's 'Chandelier' video, starring 'Dance Moms' Maddie Ziegler at least twenty times in the past two days, I'm not exaggerating. Watching this talented little girl move so effortlessly through space literally took my breath away. This video is my all-time favorite, it's just so, so good and the choreography is unreal. I get shivers every time I watch it.

Have a great weekend!

Met Gala 2014 Favorites and Questionables

Last night was the 2014 Met Gala celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Fashion Exhibit "Charles James: Beyond Fashion." And these dresses were beyond stunning! (See what I did there?) My favorites: Emma Stone in a gorgeous two-piece Thakoon number, Jessica Pare in a black and white printed Michael Kors gown and Suki Waterhouse in a frilly, pastel pink strapless Burberry dress.

I also quite enjoyed Charlize Theron's flattering Dior gown (seen here with her dapper boyfriend Sean Penn!) And although I'm not a huge fan of Kim Kardashian I have to say she looked gorgeous in this black and blue Lanvin dress which showed off her curves beautifully. (A much better choice than the couch she wore last year.) Kate Mara's bold Valentino gown was also one of my faves. I thought it went well with her light-colored hair and shimmery makeup.

Last but not least, I have to give a shout out to my fellow Canadians! Rachel McAdam's stunned in Ralph Lauren and my girl Keltie Knight (who is from Sherwood Park, Alberta and is now a host for The Insider!) looked extremely elegant in a dreamy golden Reem Acra gown, posing with TV personality Nigel Barker.

There were also some not-so-elegant, questionable fashion choices at the Gala. Actually there were a lot but I narrowed it down to my three least-favorite:

Actress Brie Larson in Prada, model Kate Upton in Dolce & Gabanna and Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o, also in Prada. I have only one question: What were they thinking??

Who were your favorites at last night's Met Ball? Sound off in the comment section below!
