And what an interesting year it was. This year we saw celebrity scandal, Human Bravery, Human kindness, Sweet fashion and, unfortunately, sadness in the pages of newspapers and television screens. We thought we’d share our highs and lows with you in celebration of 2013! Cheers to a successful year everyone!
It was the Valentino gown to the right that certified Ann as a Red Carpet favorite for us. Her new do’ only helps with the look.Daniel Craig wore the best fitted suits this year (Thanks Tom Ford). Sure he is Bond, but he seems to be very fashionable naturally. The blue eyes also help with the overall look.Will David Beckham ever fall off the fashion wagon? He’s almost TOO on point, but we love his style and find inspiration in his how he wears his clothes.Emma Stone is a red carpet fav of ours. This year she showed us that you can dress for the red carpet in slacks and a blazer. She rules!We STILL talk about this dress. Gwyneth Paltrow rocked the red carpet in this Winter White Capped gown. Stunning.Scandal Star Kerry Washington is such a star! She did some color and minimalist black and white. Her look is edgy, but lady like.We fell in love with Rooney Mara’s style! Rooney knows what works, so she sticks with it. Goth glam is so hot.

Celebrity Scandal of 2012
Tom Cruise & Kate Holmes Surprise Divorce, Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Cheating Scandal, Lindsay Lohan is STILL a Problem, Lance Armstrong Doping Scandal
Kate Holmes secretly set up a new life in New York City and served Tom Cruise with divorce papers. Yep, you can hide secrets from the powerful Tom Cruise apparently. Biggest secret of 2012 that even caught the media outlets off guard.Kristen Stewart. She cheated and got caught, breaking the heart of everyone’s fav vamp, Robert Pattinson. We aren’t sure why, and it’s not our business, but Robert forgave her. I guess their love really conquers all.Lindsay Lohen on SNL. Lindsay Lohen as Elizabeth Taylor. Lindsay Lohen driving a car. Lindsay Lohen paying her taxes with rich friends money. FAIL, FAIL, FAIL, Epic FAIL. Will she ever jump off the train that is bound for a wreck?Lance Armstrong was stripped of every medal he won this year. After former team mates and his former wife came out with enough proof to ruin his career, Lance had to give up his own charity. Drugs don’t pay kids.

Best Event of 2012
The Summer Olympics in London, 121212 Concert & The US Presidential Election
Music royalty came out out in support of Hurricane Sandy Relief! The Stones, Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys and countless other major headliner performers rocked it out for 6 hours raising millions for those who suffered from the powerful storm. We aren’t major sport lovers, but we enjoyed the London Olympics! And who wasn’t watching the debates and drama surrounding Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama??
We love her style! You can spend hours going through her archives and feeling inspired.
Say Goodbye To Pop Culture Hit, Gossip Girl
Fashion & Drama, that was Gossip Girl. Sad to see the show go, but it went down with class and wedding bliss!
Everyone we wanted together, ended up together. How sweet!
Music of 2012
Fun, Rihanna, Carly Rae Jepsen, Psy, Gotye, and We can’t leave out Adele’s Skyfall track….
Carly Rae Jepsen, with Call Me Maybe, kind of annoyed us, but the truth is, she set herself up for a great 2013. Adele had a comeback year after throat surgery and giving birth to a baby, but her haunting vocals for Skyfall? Just beautiful. Fun made some great anthem tunes, while Goyte gave us Somebody That I Used to Know. Youtube star Psy finally hit the world stage with a cute song and dance. Rihanna, regardless of the Breezy drama, continued to release new music. She is called the hardest working woman in Music for a reason lovies.

She was always beautiful, but the short hair works for her so well! She seems more CHIC. Unfortunately, we don’t think she’ll be keeping this look.
