A Note to my dear, devoted readers: I will be taking the bar exam at the end of February, which means that posting will be seriously decreased for the next two months. I will finish blogging this season of Project Runway All Stars, and my weekly Veronica Mars recaps with the Snark Squad will continue as well, but regular weekly fashion recaps will be on hiatus. I would also never leave you without coverage of the Golden Globes red carpet, which is in a few weeks, but expect that coverage to be a little more sparse and delayed than usual. Luckily, the Academy Awards gods have delayed their usual late-February broadcast to early March, so I will have the time to be all over the Oscars fashion when the time comes. The good news is, as soon as the bar exam is over, it will be time for March Fabness! So be patient, read through some old posts, and don’t give up on Democracy Diva, because this bitch will certainly not give up on you.

Best of luck on the bar and thanks for all the fabulousness last year.
Thank you, Sandye! Come back and comment soon! ❤
GOOD LUCK! This reminds me of when you were studying for your LSAT. I feel like The Golden Globes will be similar to the night of your birthday, when you poke your head out of the ground for one night of drunken fun before retreating back into your study hole. Can’t wait to Twitter celebrate with you when you’re all done 🙂
I will have zero concept of what celebrities are wearing for the next couple months. Out of, um, solidarity. (Or also out of not caring enough to read other fashion blogs. Either, or.)
+1 to everything about celebrating and drunken revelry and the brief, beautiful respite the Golden Globes will give me. Also, attempting to remember that birthday made my really happy just now.
Your devotion/apathy is always appreciated. I will still be secretly organizing the new celebrity looks I don’t have time to blog about into my infamous March Fabness spreadsheets, so you’ll catch up on everything important in the spring.
My fave here is Kiernan Shipka. She doesn’t disappoint. I had enjoyed watching Miley Cyrus blossom into a woman before she went to the dark side. I find fashion so much more interesting when the clothing wearer doesn’t scream for attention. There is beauty in subtlety. I love Kerry Washington. I hope that People Magazine names her “Most Beautiful” in 2014. She has certainly become relevant through consistency and hard work. Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain are both beauties who know how to dress, and they don’t seem to take themselves too seriously.
Happy New Year! Happy Blogging! Happy Bar Exam!
I could talk for HOURS about how much I love Kiernan Shipka. A true prodigy, playing Sally Draper since she was six years old, and she has only gotten more talented and fascinating and wonderful. (Also, that casting director was some kind of genius, because she looks more and more like her on-screen mom January Jones with every passing season.) She’s the rare young star who seems like she has her head on her shoulders, like she’ll follow in the path of Dakota Fanning (19 years old and still has resisted a tacky, faux-bad girl phase) and Jennifer Lawrence (my personal icon) rather than Miley. Miley had a few good looks this year that I almost included in this post, but it was getting too long. Mostly, I find her exhausting.
I would absolutely vote for Kerry Washington for Most Beautiful, but sadly, People tends to not be 100% on-the-mark when it comes to such decisions.
One more thing I love about Jennifer Lawrence – she’s open about the fact that she makes none of her own fashion decisions because she doesn’t know what she’s doing when it comes to personal style. She has stylists she trusts who do it all for her. (Most celebrities do, but most of them pretend like they’re the ones putting the outfits together. Jennifer, bless her heart, doesn’t put on such airs.)
A very happy new year to you too! ❤
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR EXAM!!
Thank you! Happy new year! ❤
Best of luck to my favorite bitch on her bar exam! You’re gonna crush it! xoxo
