Janelle Monae - 'Tightrope' - Dancing With The Stars

I've seen her picture in blogs and fashion magazines for a couple of years now, but this was the first time i had seen her perform.  WOW!  She was awesome, in addition to stylish.  I love the oxford shoes.

Interior design on dresses by Mary Katrantzou

This designer was inspired to draw the interiors of houses on her dresses from looking at pictures in Archetechtural Digest magazine.  they are kind of busy, and would out of place in my small town, but I appreciate the innovation anyway!

Drawings of Katniss Everdeen, Heroine of The Hunger Games book

I've read a lot of good books this summer, but one of the best is the Hunger Games Trilogy.  My son read The Hunger Games as part of a seventh grade reading class and he told me it was the best book he ever read, so I decided to check it out.  I agree that it's a great story.  I don't want to give too much away, for those of you who haven't read it yet.  Although some of the story is sad and tragic, there are some happy and lighthearted moments as well. 

Some of the most humorous parts of the story in my opinion are about Katniss and her stylists.  Yes, even kids being sent to their death have to look great on TV!  The book describes some really great outfits that are designed for Katniss by her lovable designer Cinna, who is one of her greatest friends and allies.  I found some fan drawings of Katniss on http://www.fanpop.com/ and thought I would share some here.

Oscar de la Renta Resort 2011

Every piece in this collection is just gorgeous.  Too bad I can't afford to buy even one.  The best I can hope for is to find some similar pieces at stores like JC Penneys.
