White Out!

If you're a Midwesterner like me, your winter has pretty much been one big white out this year. With the huge snowfalls and the freezing temperatures, we've been living in a frozen tundra the last couple of  months. Enough with this dreadful weather talk, though. On to fashion...

          The old saying, 'You can't wear white after Labor Day' has totally gone out the window because winter whites has been one of the hottest trends this season. I've been loving the black and white monochromatic looks and the use of little pops of white in outfits to create sort of a color-blocking look. But, what I cannot get enough of is the all-white-everything looks. So many celebs are rocking head-to-toe white and I am just loving it. It's such a clean, chic, polished look.

Sweat in Style

          The most common New Year's resolution includes something along the lines of 'Losing weight,' 'Hitting the gym more often,' 'Eating right,' 'Exercising more frequently.' I, too, can say that this was one of my many New Year's resolutions for 2014. We are now well over halfway into the month of January, so how are you doing with this New Year's resolution?
          I thought this post would be a great motivator for those who haven't upheld their New Year's resolutions fully. (I've been slacking off too!) But what better way to motivate you to hit the gym than some glammed out workout gear? In the words of Coco Chanel, "Everyday is a fashion show and the world is your runway." This is true even when your hitting the gym for your afternoon workout or taking the streets on your early morning run. There's no reason you can't sweat in style. When you look good, you feel good.

2014 Golden Globes Best Dressed List

          Hello all! I'M BACK! So, I took about a month off to spend quality time in the ol' home-state, Iowa, with my fab fam and friends. A month with no school or work was amaze. However, I have been raring to get back to Corn-fed Couture and am so happy to bring in this new year with some hot blog topics! I hope you're as excited as I am! Anyway, let me give you a little update on what I've been up to since the holiday break. Well, this week I started my LAST semester of college. So crazy. So scary. Yet, so exciting! And, even more exciting; this week I started my internship at Hot Mama. Check them out at shopmama.com. So, I am working as the Photo Shoot Stylist Intern, which is super fun and exciting. I've been obsessing over so many of the new spring lines that are coming in. There will be more blog posts to come on Hot Mama, my internship, etc. But for now, can we talk about the Golden Globes fashions?! Yeah, I know I'm a little behind schedule, but I just had to share with you my

Five Best Dressed Nominees from the Golden Globes:

5. Julie Bowen in Carolina Herrera 

Ok, so I know this dress made many peoples' Worst Dressed Lists, but I have to say I love it. The fit is impeccable and I love the hourglass silhouette on Julie. I know it was the color choice and the velvet bodice that the critics were so harsh on. But, I love the bold color blocking. And, the skirt color is a nice dark radiant orchid color. Hello, people...that is the Color of 2014! And, I just love the mixing of textures with the use of the velvet. I have to say from hair, makeup, accessories and gown; Julie Bowen killed it.

4. Jennifer Lawrence in Christian Dior

Again, this was another one that made many Worst Dressed List. I guess I'm totally going against the crowd here for my Top 5. Many complained that this wasn't a flattering dress for J.Law. And I say to those people, 'Um, do you need your eyes checked? Because her body looks rockin.' The gown is super fun, but yet elegant at the same time. I love the winter white, and the black piping detail. I think where it hits her is quite flattering actually. I mean, by no means could anyone pull this dress off, but she certainly does. And, it just goes so well with that badass pixie cut of hers and I love her bold lip color choice.
