Glamutante — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:55:55 EST

Pumps by Valentino
Clutches by Inge Christopher

It's been raining so muc lately, so I got inspired. So many people complained that it rained all day Monday, ruining their Valentine plans, but I for one really loved the rain. Since today's sunny, I thought I'd bring the rain back in this look.

Style Inspiration - Pink, Pink, Pink!

Glamutante — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:43:44 EST

Shorts by Vanessa Bruno
Hobos by Marc by Marc Jacobs

This is such a gorgeous palette and perfect for the month of love. I've warmed up to pink over the last few years after discovering that the color suits my skin tone, but I'm still iffy about wearing bright pink - so this warm, understated, romantic palette is more my style.

Style Inspiration - Wildfox Printed Heart Sweatshirt!

Glamutante — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:37:54 EST

Tanks by Wildfox Couture
Boots by KensieGirl

I'm loving Wildfox Couture lately, mostly for its irreverent designs and cool t-shirts, not to mention its fabulous ad campaigns. It's not hard to see why celebs are going crazy for this brand.

Style Inspiration - Valentino Lace Trim Jacket

Glamutante — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:32:44 EST

Casual Pants at theOutnet
Pumps by Stella McCartney

This Valentino jacket is amazing. I love black and neutrals, and the lace gave the jacket a romantic vintage touch. I think that jacket is pretty wearable for work, provided you're one of those fabulous girls who actually wear a Valentino jacket to the office!

Style Inspiration - Sex And The City !

Glamutante — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 08:27:09 EST

Sandals by Christian Louboutin
Totes by Valentino

Sex and The City first premiered in HBO in 1998 and became one of its most successful original series. The show was on the air for six seasons until it wrapped on a high note in 2004.

This beloved show was a hit primarily to women, and viewers were taken on a journey with these four friends as they tackle sex, relationship and love issues. This show was also single-handedly responsible for Manolo Blahnik shoes and Cosmopolitan cocktail attain their infamy.

So, let's strap on our Louboutins and get ready for cosmos with our girl friends, it's time to head to Manhattan with Sex and The City. Have fun everyone!

Style Inspiration - The Vampire Diaries

Glamutante — Sat, 23 Oct 2010 02:13:32 EDT

Leather Jackets at StyleBop
Boots by Christian Louboutin

This popular CW show is based on a popular young adult novel series of the same name and somewhat has the age-old theme of a young small town girl falling in love with an undead (but smoking hot) guy, and complications ensue. But this show has proven itself to be more than just another Twilight knockoff: series creator Kevin Williamson of Dawson's Creek and Scream fame managed to make this show sexy, thrilling and as violent as basic network would allow.

Backed by impossibly good-looking cast Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley, The Vampire Diaries ttracted the largest audience of any series since the network began in 2006, proving that this current bloodsucking trend in pop culture is here to stay.

The Vampire Diaries season 1 & season 2 available on DVD now!

Steam Things Up This Halloween in Victoria's Secret!

Glamutante — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 00:01:17 EDT

We learned from the movie Mean Girls that girls love Halloween because it’s an excuse to dress up in lingerie and pretend that it is a costume. Now Victoria Secret has created costumes so girls can steam it up, but can say they are still in a costume.

I really love that these costumes are perfect for both normal girls on Halloween and strippers on a daily basis.
