Celebrity Fash: Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried is one of the hottest young stars in Hollywood today. When she starred next to Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body, nobody really knew who Amanda was. She seemed to be destined for the role of the supporting characters but little did we know that she was out to make a name for herself. Several film roles later and the world was starting to take notice of her talent. But while she was getting more and more movie role offers, she was also becoming far more visible in the red carpet scene. From Oscars to SAG Awards to the Golden Globes, Amanda has had quite a few appearances over the past couple of years. 
And I can't complain. She has had some fantastic red carpet looks that are my favorite! Check out my favorite outfits of her below to see for yourself:

Blue Skater Dress

Skater dress is my new obsession. To those who aren't familiar with what a skate dress is, it is a modernized version of an A-line dress. These are gorgeous! The A-line refers to the silhouette that is formed by the cut around the middle waist that makes it appear narrower in that midsection. Meanwhile, a flare at the bottom of the skirt resembles the ones that skaters wear, thus the name. 


I recently spotted a skater dress of my favorite color (blue!) and so I knew I had to get it. I was ecstatic when I tried it on and the size was just right. I sported this new dress when the boyf and I went on a movie date for Iron Man 3. By the way, loved the movie! 



Here are a few other to-die-for skater dresses I spotted online, if you'd like to hop on the trend:



Are you also into skater dresses as much as I am?

Summer Escape

 

For weeks, the boyf and I had been planning this summer escape. Since traveling to Palawan, we haven't been to the beach yet and I was aching for a getaway. And so this recent weekend, we finally gave in and started calling resorts we can visit. With May already here, the weather has been hotter than ever and even if it meant getting a bit sun-tanned, I really didn't mind because I was longing for this escape. 

Check out more of the pics from our short weekend getaway (see my love for basic tank tops?):



And I leave you with this breathtaking view that we enjoyed during our whole stay there...



What's your ideal hot weather escape?
