It's Friday! And it's exactly one week before my 22nd birthday! 

Before I start my day of relaxing on the couch and happy hour, 

I will share a few of my favorite things.

My go-to drink whether its a hot summer day or chilly winter afternoon, I always order it iced.

My mouth is watering just looking at this picture.

Red Carpet Style: Golden Globes

Award show season has begun, which means it's red carpet season for fashion addicts like myself. 

First up, the 2012 Golden Globe Awards.

My favorite looks of the night included pale tones such as lavender and blush, as well as bold red gowns. 

Below are my picks for Best Dressed.

Nicole Richie wearing Julien MacDonald.

Charlize Theron in Christian Dior.

Emma Stone in Lanvin.

Reese Witherspoon wearing Zac Posen. 

Jessica Alba in Gucci.

Style Trend: Color Blocking

A huge trend on the red carpet is color blocking. 

Whether you're wearing a dress designed with different colors strategically placed 

or wearing a bright top in one shade and another bold tone on the bottom, 

it's easy to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe. 

Although color blocking is in fashion now, this trend is forecasted to be 

even bigger for the upcoming spring season.  

I can't wait to see pastel color blocking in the next few months. 

Below are some color blocking ensembles seen on celebrities.

Bold Red Lip

 

Actress Zoe Saldana looks elegant in black lace paired with bold red lips. 

When playing up one feature, keep the rest neutral. 

Eyes:

thin black eyeliner on top and lower lash line

brown and taupe eye shadow

lash lengthening black mascara

Complexion:

instead of blush, try a luminizer to create a fresh face

Lips:

pick the right shade of red for your skin tone

use either matte or gloss lipstick
