Do you like Kelly Osbourne as the new face for Material Girl?

 

If you haven't heard of Material Girl, it's the new line by Madonna and daughter, Lourdes.  Taylor Momsen started out as the face of the brand new line and they evidently decided to replace her with Kelly Osbourne.  

Kelly has a new banging body, but I thought the line was supposed to be geared to teens and Kelly is 26.

Material Girl can be found at Macy's.

Top Trends for Summer 2011

A note to my readers,

Out and About with Shasta will be making some changes.  I am moving to sunny Florida soon and I will continue my blog there.  I am planning to include features on FL night life, FL fashion and I plan to continue my ever popular Sex and the University articles.  Please keep reading!

XOXXO,

Shasta

Since I am moving to South West FL I need to vamp up my summer wardrobe!  Here's some key pieces for summer!

Romper!

I am loving the romper look for summer, dress it up with a blazer and heels for night time or pair with bangles and sandals for day.

This one is floral which is another huge trend for summer. 

Forever 21 $19.80

Embellished Thong Sandal!

This trend has been around for a while but I love that it has stuck.  These look great with the season's new colorful shorts or rompers.  I also love turquoise on shoes because it really goes with everything.

Michael Kors Pool Python Printed 'Cassia' thong sandal $357.00

Bright Colored Shorts!

I screamed out loud the other day when I saw the collection of bright colored shorts that J.Crew had displayed for Spring.  These fit great and are offered in so many different colors.  They look great with a skinny belt, v-neck tee and a cardigan.  My favorite is the shocking pink, which would look great paired with navy blue.

J.Crew 3" Chino Short in Shocking Pink $42.50

The Framed Satchel!

This style bag is all the rage right now.  If it is quilted and has a shoulder strap it's even better.  I love this one from Marc Jacobs because it's neutral in color which is another huge trend right now.

Wear this all summer long with casual and dressy.

Marc Jacobs 'Quilting Stam' Leather Satchel in Blush $1,350.00

  Wide Leg/Flare Trousers!

The part of me that is more comfortable in wide leg trousers loves that these have come back!  The part of me that has totally re-done my wardrobe to be wide-leg free hates that this has come back.  Either way it's a great look for work trousers.  Tuck in a button-up or dress down with a cotton v-neck.  These are Juicy Couture jeans, and surprisingly Juicy denim is ultra comfortable!  I own three pairs of Juicy jeans.

Bird by Juicy Couture 'Indigo' Flared Stretch Denim Trousers $228.00

Maxi Dress!

This is another trend that has been around for a while but has stuck.  I have a strapless black and white maxi dress and I wear it all the time in the summer.  I love to pair mine with embellished thong sandals and a jean jacket.  This is a trend I recommend to buy for less because there are some great deals out there and they look great too.

Top 5 Golden Globe looks from 2011

5. Emma Stone in Calvin Klein, Van Cleef & Arples jewelry, and Ferragamo pumps.  There has been a lot of criticism on this dress and the color of it.  I personally think she looks really great and grown-up, it's hard to look stunning in a simple dress and she pulled it off.

4. Anne Hathaway in Giorgio Armani Prive.  This is a different look for her but it works!  Also, the fit on her is great!

3. Eva Longoria in Zac Posen, Sergio Rossi shoes, and Neil Lane earrings.  She makes her black dress stand out and she looks classic.

2. Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta, Christian Louboutin shoes, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and Judith Leiber clutch.  The color and shape is great on her and makes her look like a star.

1. Olivia Wilde in a Marchesa gown, Christian Louboutin shoes, Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and Judith Leiber clutch.  Absolutely stunning!  I love dresses that make statements!

 I also love shoes that make statements!

Resolutions for 2011

1. I Will smile more.  I recently read an article in Glamour magazine that said that you are more likely to meet someone when you are smiling.  Not only that but when you smile you actually will become more happy.  Try it!  It actually works!  Here's a trick: if you are out with your girlfriends at a bar, start exchanging jokes or funny stories.  Nothing will attract a man (or a group of men) more than a table of fun looking women.  You won't believe it until you try it!

2 .I Will drink at least 64 oz. of water every day.  This seems like a lot but the days that I do drink this much I honestly feel 100% better.  I can see it in my skin and my stomach feels healthier as well.  My secret is to get a water bottle with a straw like this one from Camelbak.  Once I bought this I realized how thirsty my body actually was but I was just to lazy to fill up a glass every time, now I carry this everywhere with me.

Camelbak BPA Free Bottle, $14.99 at Target.

What are your resolutions?
