I love living in L.A. More than anything. However, the day I came to the realization that I may never own my dream home here, a little part of me died inside. Since then, it's like I have house envy. Even if it's a house I don't really love, I'm still always envious of the home owner. <br />
<br />
I found this house on <a href="http://www.twotallblondes.blogspot.com/">Two Tall Blondes</a>, and I immediately fell in love. Enjoy....<br />

<br />
This weekend my husband and I will celebrate our one year anniversary. We've been together for six years, but this is the first time we will celebrate an anniversary-- we're not big "anniversary of dating" people. <br />
<br />
This picture was taken at our reception, when they announced us as "Mr. and Mrs. Guest." It was such an amazing day, and I can't believe it's already been a year! Thank you to all my family and friends who have been such amazing supporters in our journey. And most importantly, thank you Mr. Guest for being such an amazing husband!madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-63107945883402824052010-09-23T14:32:00.000-07:002010-09-23T14:32:01.824-07:00nail done, hair done, everything doneOkay not really. This girl not only needs a manicure, but I need my hair done in a bad way. I have the most amazing colorist and cutter (?), but she is about to give birth to her first baby. Her due date is Monday, and while I wish her the happiest of blessings, I'm completely overwhelmed by the task of finding a replacement. I love my hair right now more than I ever have thanks to Jamie, so I'm even more nervous to just trust any Shmoe with my locks. In order to further prolong in the inevitable, I use my time gathering hair inspiration photos instead of researching replacement stylists. <br />
<br />
So yeah...<br />

I don't know about you guys, but Monday's episode of <i>Gossip Girl</i> realllllllly made me want to go to Paris. I've never been there, but I love everything Parisian and/or French in general. I especially love their effortlessness. A French girl can be in the most glamorous gown, but just completely cool like it's no big thang. I also love Parisian-inspired home decor. I'm in the process of redecorating my apartment and I'm thinking the pics below will definitely come in handy when it comes time to make my mood boards. <br />

<br />
This might be my favorite look that I've done with Victoria. The VMA's are the one awards show where you can always expect people to rock out their most stand-out looks (i.e. Gaga's Meat Dress). We wanted to go with an age-appropriate look (always a priority) that also had that bit of edge and glamour, and I feel like this was perfect!<br />

The breezes taste of apple peel. The air is full of smells to feel- ripe fruit, old footballs,<br />
burning brush, new books, erasers, chalk, and such. The bee, his hive, well-honeyed hum, and Mother cuts Chrysanthemums. Like plates washed clean with suds, the days are polished with a morning haze.<br />
<br />
--"September" by John Updike<br />
<br />
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love everything about it --the fashion, the weather, the food and holidays. But one of the things I love most about fall is the feeling of new, great things about to happen. Maybe it's all the times I celebrated going "back to school," or maybe it's the changing of the leaves... either way I love that feeling.<br />
<br />
I have a whole to-do list for fall, and it starts in September. Below are some of the things on my list for this month:<br />
<br />
1. finish making over my dining room, kitchen, and bathroom<br />
2. celebrate my 1-year wedding anniversary with a trip to Palm Springs<br />
3. go shopping for my fall wardrobe<br />
4. finally print some of the photos I've had saved and frame them<br />
5. find the perfect business cards<br />
6. host a Law and Order: LA premiere party<br />
7. set my DVR for all of my favorite shows that I have waited for MONTHS to return<br />
<br />
I think that's good for now. We'll see if I actually accomplish ANY of these.madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-86904828671773269912010-09-01T23:17:00.000-07:002010-09-01T23:17:26.409-07:00A Little Tip for the Ladies: Ribbon Belt<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=Picture13-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/Picture13-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
When Victoria and I decided on this dress for her 2010 Teen Choice Awards look, there was just one issue: the dress had a giant, elastic seam right at the natural waistline that looked rather odd. A lot of dresses have elastic at the waist, and for good reason. Showing off your waist is always figure flattering, especially in photos or on camera. However, these seams, in my opinion, tend to make the dress look a little sloppy. I always like to use a belt on my clients to cover this. It just makes everything look a lot cleaner and more chic. <br />
<br />
If it's for a photo shoot or on tv, an easy thing to do is to throw a belt on backwards and clamp it in place. Of course in real life you can't have a buckle with a clamp hanging out in the back of a dress. It also has to be the right width. Too thin doesn't cover the seam, and too thick can cut you right in half. <br />
<br />
I searched and searched for days to find the perfect belt to put with this dress, and never found one. The morning of the awards show, I woke up with an idea that caused me to sit straight up in bed. I would go buy a black grosgrain ribbon and sew hooks and eyes on it! And that's exactly what I did. <br />
<br />
I took my darling husband to International Silks and Woolens (if you live in LA it is an amazing one-stop-shop) and bought ribbon, hooks and eyes, sticky boobs, and extra top stick for my kit. I had to be at Victoria's house to get her ready by 1:30, which meant I had to leave my house at 1. We got back to my house at about 12:30. I have never watched anyone hand sew anything as fast as Cory sewed this belt together. He measured the belt on me (Victoria and I are almost the same size so we just guessed based on my measurements), hand sewed a hem on each end of the ribbon, and then sewed on the hooks and eyes. When I tried it on her it was perfect! <br />
<br />
So ladies, I strongly suggest to you that you all go out and buy a black grosgrain ribbon, some hooks and eyes, and go nuts. A $5 ribbon belt that you will use over and over and over and over again. :)madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-64626399484794192392010-08-31T16:04:00.000-07:002010-08-31T16:04:00.004-07:002010 Emmy's: My Picks for Best DressedI've been a TV fanatic since I was a little kid, and because of that, I am probably one of the few people who truly loves watching the Emmy's. It's probably the most relaxed and fun of the big awards shows! In years past, the Emmy's haven't typically boasted the red carpet heavy hitters, but with such huge shows like Mad Men, Modern Family, and True Blood, this year has changed that. <br />
<br />
Not that anyone actually cares, but for those of you that do (read: Mom and Dad), I give you my best dressed list:<br />
<br />
Honorable Mention: Dianna Agron in Carolina Herrera<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=dianna-agron-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/dianna-agron-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
When I saw Dianna Agron making her Emmy red carpet debut, my initial thought was what a gorgeous dress this is. It wasn't my favorite of the evening, but I love that she stood out from the crowd and took a risk with that dress. Overall it is a great look on her, and she really made a great first impression. <br />
<br />
<br />
#5- Lea Michele in Oscar de la Renta<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=lea-michele-emmy-awards-2010-04.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/lea-michele-emmy-awards-2010-04.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
I'm always very on the fence about Lea Michele's red carpet choices. Sometimes I feel like she's a show stopper, and other's I feel like she completely misses the mark. It's nothing on her, or her stylist, just my own personal opinion. However, this is one of the times where I think she looks really great. The entire look just reads very put together and fabulous-- the dress, the color, the fit, the hair and makeup, the nails, the jewelry, etc. While all those ruffles aren't really my style, for a young girl who's on a fun show like <i>Glee</i>, I think it's perfect. <br />

#4- Heidi Klum in Marchesa<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=heidi-klum-seal-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/heidi-klum-seal-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
A lot of people weren't feeling this dress on Heidi; saying it was too short and expressing their fear of a "wardrobe malfunction," or saying that it wasn't right for the Emmy's. But I LOVED it on her! They call her "The Body" for a reason!! This woman has had four kids and owns every mini dress she puts on. That my friends, is confidence. If she were a young starlet or someone starring in a dramatic mini-series, I would agree that this wouldn't be an appropriate Emmy option. But kids, she's a supermodel who is on a fashion reality show, so I think this'll work! And boy did she work...<br />
<br />
#3- Rose Byrne in Gucci<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=rose-byrne-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/rose-byrne-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
I am a huge fan of Rose Byrne's red carpet choices, and this time was no different for me. First of all, it's the last big awards show of the summer and the white Grecian look is an amazing choice for this. You have to give homegirl props for making sure to cash in on wearing white before Labor Day (although I am an advocate of ammending that rule, we can all agree that most media would still make comments if she wore white after Labor Day). The metal accents of the dress and her undone-updo give it a little bit of Rose Byrne edge, so that it's not too pretty or fixed. <br />
<br />
#2- Claire Danes in Armani Prive<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=claire-danes-hugh-dancy-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/claire-danes-hugh-dancy-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
When I think of Claire Danes, I always think of the dowdy, serious roles she plays (and girl plays them well!). But on Sunday night, when I saw her strut her stuff onto Ryan Seacrest's platform, my jaw hit the floor. She looked stunning. The color on her was so refreshing and eyecatching, and even though the dress was full length sparkles, I didn't feel like she was too over the top. Her hair and makeup looked fabulous as well. I want to see more looks like this from her!<br />
<br />
And now, here's my number one. Although I'm sure 80% of people will disagree with me, as a fashion stylist, I am standing by it.<br />
<br />
#1- January Jones in Versace Atelier<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=january-jones-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/january-jones-emmys-2010-red-carpet-01.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
<br />
January Jones literally stunned the crowd this year at the Emmy's (whether they were stunned by her beauty or in hatred for the dress is up for debate). First of all, she OWNED this look. Even though she probably knew most people didn't get it, she still rocked it, and that can make even the worst dress look amazing. The color was so fresh and gorgeous on her, and the cut was very fashion forward but still fun. I LOVED her hair and makeup as well. I think if she would have done a polished, super-fixed hair-do, it would have majorly taken away the effortless and cool vibe that she had all night. I love that she A) is naturally that fabulous and effortless simultaneously. She doesn't have a stylist and she doesn't need one, which I know might be weird for a stylist to say, and B) doesn't give a f**k what the mainstream media thinks. She wears what she wants and kills it every time, and that is why she can get any dress she wants. <br />
<br />

A few weeks ago, I was asked by the girls at Bollare PR to style a photoshoot. Their client, <a href="http://www.shortomatic.com/">Shortomatic</a>, had decided to team up with Wildfox Couture to show everyone how their board shorts can be worn off the beach. My inspiration for the shoot was Erin Wasson, because anytime I think of a cool girl who has taken her laid back beach style to the street, I think of her. My lovely assistant <a href="http://yasminbstyle.blogspot.com/">Yasmin Behbehani</a> and I brought all the jewelry and shoes from our kits and closets! This shoot was so much fun and has been featured on <a href="http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=5050">Nylon</a> and <a href="http://www.fabsugar.com/Pictures-Shortomatic-Wildfox-Collection-10682211">FabSugar</a>!! <br />

Summer finally arrived here in LA, and I'm not going to lie, I hope it leaves soon.

<br />
I had the pleasure of working with Victoria Justice again for this year's Teen Choice Awards! It was a big deal for her because she was nominated in two categories, and presenting Justin Beiber's performance. Also, her Teen Vogue September cover (!!!) had hit stands within days of the show. <br />
<br />
We wanted to do something a little different than other looks she has done in the past. In her Teen Vogue interview, she had stated she doesn't like pink, sequins or sparkles, so that completely wiped out any of those options. We wanted her to look fresh, young, and fashion forward, but with just a hint of an edge. <br />

I went to one of my favorite stores, <a href="http://www.madisonlosangeles.com/">Madison</a>, yesterday and saw these little puppies on the shelf. I thought they were going to be YSL, but when I looked, to my surprise, they were Elizabeth and James! While $450 isn't necessarily a discounted price, it is a lot better than what they would have been if they were in fact YSL.madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-54450939310265952992010-07-28T15:18:00.000-07:002010-07-28T15:18:55.658-07:00Line to Love: Equipment<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=img072710_02.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/img072710_02.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
I got this email from Intermix and it made me realize how much I love Equipment. Equipment isn't a new line by any means. Christian Restoin (as in, Carine Roitfeld's longtime partner and baby daddy) started it in 1976, later selling it in 1998. But thanks to pal Serge Azria, CEO and creative director of Joie and Current/Elliott, they were back in business as of this spring, with Restoin acting as creative consultant. They have stayed close to the signature Equipment look: silk, menswear-inspired, tailored blouses with two breast flap pockets. Carine rocks the shirts all the time. And honestly, that's good enough endorsement for me. <br />
<br />
While the obvious fashion endorsement doesn't hurt, what makes these blouses great is that you can wear them so many ways. They're the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe because (as Carine shows) you can wear them with a pencil skirt for work, or even with jeans. <br />

Vanessa Hudgens looked amazing last night at her bf's Charlie St. Cloud premiere. The hair, the makeup and the dress are all perfect on her. I love that she always looks age appropriate, which is very refreshing to see among young starlets. She really knows how to work her boho chic style on and off the red carpet. <br />
<br />
According to Just Jared, her dress is Reem Acra, shoes are Jimmy Choo and bag is Ferragamo.madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-73505873830656231552010-07-20T23:34:00.000-07:002010-07-20T23:34:04.070-07:00Inspired By Audrey Hepburn: Mrs. Guest Makes a Pie<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=utf-8BYWggYmFraW5nLmpwZw.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/utf-8BYWggYmFraW5nLmpwZw.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />

As a child, I was no stranger to desserts. My parents were always baking treats for us on the weekends. My Mamaw has never bought a cake from a store. And my Grandmama bakes every single dessert so perfectly, so precisely, that an entire afternoon should be cleared for the creation of a birthday cake. <br />
<br />
Every birthday and holiday memory I have has a different signature cake, pie, or cookie. My wedding cake was a tower of vanilla cupcakes, with each cupcake topped with an orange fondant circle that had "Mr. and Mrs." stamped into it. We have a chocolate bundt cake at my grandma's every year on my brother's birthday. He loves it so much they named it "The Jake Cake." For the big Junior Prom pre-dinner, my dad made my Aunt Deanna's legendary fruit pizza for dessert. It was sweet and tasty, but light enough not to be suffocated by those tight prom dress corsets. The desserts we ate are just as important as the songs we heard and the jokes we told on these monumental nights.<br />
<br />
This past Sunday evening, another memory was made, one that I will remember forever: I baked a pie for the first time. We ate it in bed with vanilla bean ice cream. It was apple, to be exact. And it was good. Damn good.madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-55005580396389277602010-06-28T16:20:00.001-07:002010-06-28T16:36:05.353-07:00One Event, Two Totally Different LooksLast week, I dressed both <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0698977/">Kirsten Prout</a> and <a href="http://iamlala.com/">Lala Vazquez</a> for the Eclipse premiere. Although they were going to the same premiere, they went for totally different looks.<br /><br /><a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=45043_KirstenProutCelebutopia_net3_.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/45043_KirstenProutCelebutopia_net3_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Kirsten plays "Lucy" in Eclipse, so this premiere was a really exciting event for her to attend. I was more than happy when I was asked to dress her for this. Typically (read: just what I've heard), when an actor attends a premiere for a movie they're in, they tend to dress more formal. (Take notice of the actors in the movie vs. people just attending the premiere) Obviously it depends on the movie, but since Eclipse is one of the huge summer blockbusters, people brought their A-game. Her dress is by Alberto Makali, her ring is by Ioselliani, and her shoes are by Aldo. <br /><br /><a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=45474_LaLaVasquezCelebutopia_net5_1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/45474_LaLaVasquezCelebutopia_net5_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />This is one of my favorite Lala looks ever! Since she was just attending the premiere, she went a little more casual for her look. I love this dress because it's fun, but still fashion forward, and it shows off her amazing shape!! I even love the pop of color her lavender nails give to it. The dress is by Sass and Bide, and I got it at one of my favorite stores in LA, <a href="http://madisonlosangeles.com/">Madison</a>. <br /><br />Which one is your favorite??<br /><br /><br /><br />Photo cred: <a href="http://myfavouritecelebrity.com/">My Favourite Celebrity</a>madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-69071595865920103422010-06-28T16:17:00.000-07:002010-06-28T16:19:49.422-07:00Dirty Blonde<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=notfair.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/notfair.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />I am totally feeling this beauty look for summer: a messy, dirty-blonde coif, a subtly smokey eye, and that tan! <br /><br />Photo cred: <a href="http://catalinasumakeup.blogspot.com/">Catalina Su Makeup</a>madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319204268093178128.post-7878785772208169232010-06-24T13:14:00.000-07:002010-06-24T13:18:10.436-07:00I am OBSESSED with Isabel Marant<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/?action=view¤t=143199_980.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn262/madisonmrobbins/143199_980.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />How sick are these Isabel Marant boots? If I had a giant piggy bank, I would be breaking it open right about now! I just spotted them on one of my favorite blogs, <a href="http://carolinesmode.com/caroline/">Caroline's Mode</a>. If you haven't checked out her blog, you really should. I think there's just something innate in the Swedes to have kick ass style.madisonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05572232939323255040noreply@blogger.com0
