Golden Globes Style: How to Wear Winter White Like Amy Adams

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by SierraClair (@cerisesdumatin) on Jan 5, 2019 at 3:21pm PST

Awards Season in Hollywood is just getting started and with all the celebs looking for ways to stand out on the red carpet with their style, the classic question of wearing white after labor day is bound to come up. In recent years this fashion rule has gone somewhat by the wayside however it still takes consideration and planning to pull off a head to toe white look in the winter. Luckily in LA it's especially trendy since our weather is usually still pretty warm this time of year. I attended the Gold Meets Golden pre-party today and talked with actress Amy Adams about her style. She was wearing an all white dress with a vintage inspired button down front and a matching white purse.

She accessorized with some chic statement earrings and showed them off with a cute slicked back ponytail for her hairstyle. She kept the look simple and minimalist and pulled off the monochrome outfit perfectly. 

Wearing white in the winter works best if you keep the look simple and don't try to mix too many bright colors. Obviously the classic black and white combo is always an option though. Amy's dress was also a great length as it was a little bit longer than a tea length dress making it appropriate for the winter season. I loved the vintage style detailing on the dress which also gave it some classy character and made the focus more on the retro style than the white color. It's important to stay away from too much embroidering or detail on the white as well or it can get kind of summery. It also wasn't super fluffy and had only a few pleats which I would recommend looking for similar sleek styles. Her ponytail and matching boxy purse completed the hint of retro style in her look and tied the whole thing together. 

I loved her statement earrings as well. She really used this look to show them off and they definitely stood out.

Wearing a monochrome outfit is a great way to showcase accessories like jewelry because it will really make things pop! Her style is generally simple but elegant and I can't wait to see what she wears to the awards tomorrow night!

Matt Bomer Talks Style at The Official Golden Globes Pre-Party on Sunset Blvd

You can check out my interview on the gold carpet in the video below!


  Bomer's style is always very put together and classy but he isn't afraid to take risks with the details either. In this blue Officine Generale suit he worked in a sporty theme to his look to go with the event's theme of honoring Olympic athletes while still staying classy for the carpet. The white stitching all along the edges of the suit and his white sneakers really pull the whole look together for a clean cut sporty vibe.

I think this look is definitely something anyone could wear and was the perfect choice for this event! The Gold Meets Golden pre-party happens every year in Hollywood bringing actors and athletes together to raise awareness for sports related causes. The event was hosted by Nicole Kidman and there were tons of celebs and gold medal athletes in attendance!

Self Care Tips from Style Queen Kat Graham to Start Your New Year Off Right! Plus Her Favorite Outfit to Relax In

Casually getting selfie tips from Kat Graham! (She says you gotta find the light ladies!)

Vampire Diaries actress Kat Graham is known in Hollywood for
her unique sense of style and love of sunglasses. The actress came out to the
star studded Simply LA fashion and beauty conference on Saturday August 11
where she talked about her sense of style, what she’s been up to since the end
of Vampire Diaries and more! I attended the conference and have been wanting to
share this interview with you guys and I thought the new year would be the perfect
time since we’re making 2019 all about self care and female empowerment right guys?!

She also shared her new collab with Foster Grant sunglasses
a fun and retro line of sunnies for any occasion. Graham said that she had
always had a love for 80s and 90s style and has still held onto it to this day.
She told the audience that her favorite go to outfit is a simple vintage
t-shirt and jeans with booties and of course some stylish sunglasses to
complete the look. Inspired by icons like Madonna, Cindy Crawford, and Grace
Jones she told the audience that she wanted to bring the idea of “eye can see
you, and I can feel you.” to her line. She said that often times her outfits
are created around what sunglasses she decides to wear first.

Besides sharing her amazing style tips she also dished on
how she deals with the stress of fame and finds ways to unwind and take care of
herself amidst her busy career. Her number one tip is to spend less time on
social media. She told the audience it can be harmful to constantly be
comparing yourself and your life to others and said she though it was important
to take breaks. As for how she likes to relax after a stressful day she said
she loves to binge watch the Handmaids tale on Netflix. She told the audience,
“Every time I feel stressed out I think about what Aufred is going through and
I’m like girl, you’re fine.” She also shared that she meditates everyday to
remind herself that, “we’re all the same and in the same journey together.” She
added another piece of advice saying, “Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s can
be an information overload today and we should just kick back sometimes and
remind ourselves we’re doing pretty ok” Her smart and relatable advice is
something any girl can apply to her life.

The actress has been busy working on tons of new projects

since the series finale of Vampire Diaries last year and she talked about some
of her upcoming work including her role in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and How
it Ends which is out now. She also hinted at some upcoming Netflix projects and
talked about her future career goals saying, ““After Vampire Diaries I knew
that it was important that I use my platform to focus on characters that show
that we as women have multiple layers and dynamics and we can be sharp and
funny and we don’t have to all be the same perfect girl all the time.”

Her inspiring words definitely left an impact on the
audience and echoed the need for more empowering female roles in Hollywood. She
shared some truly great self-care tips and left the room thinking about how
everyone can use their voice to make an impact whether that’s on social media
or through career choices there are so many avenues.

I love this black dress because New Years Eve is all about sparkle! I styled it with these metallic black and silver stockings and these Kollectin Jewels! I went for a kind of retro glam look inspired by Marilyn Monroe since I was in Vegas! The diamonds in the background at the Cosmopolitan Chandelier bar really bring out the sparkle in this dress making it perfect for going out! It is slim fitting so it is great for a party dress but still classy and comfortable to wear!

I am obsessed with this red lace dress because it is so versatile! It is of course perfect for the holiday season because it has this beautiful dark red color and can be worn to any holiday party at the office or among friends! However I feel like it could work for so many other things too! It is well fitted but not low cut so it would make a great work dress if you are really looking to dress up for the office. It could also be a great date night dress for Valentine's Day because it has the classic sweetheart neckline and all this beautiful lace detailing. This is a winter staple item you must have in your closet!

I LOVE this pink metallic jacket! I feel like I'm going to be wearing it on repeat all winter long because it goes with so many things! I styled it with my black jeans and this sparkly Express tank top plus these matching pink metallic Guess heels for a very retro and daring style. I was inspired by the classic black leather look Sandy wore in Grease the movie so I went with a bold lip and curled my hair as well. It was so fun to walk around Vegas in this outfit and I got tons of compliments!

What Does Tom Schwartz Want For Christmas This Year?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Innovative Public Relations (@innovative_pr) on Nov 15, 2018 at 11:52am PST

I got an exclusive interview with reality star and new bar owner Tom Schwartz at the ChildHelp Charity night in Beverly Hills where he told me all about his plans for the holidays including what he wants most for Christmas this year! It’s definitely not what you’d think either! The Vanderpump rules star made a rare solo red carpet appearance for the event held at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills. You can read more about the event in this article.

First, he talked about how exciting it was to finally be living his dream of owning his own business here in LA saying, “It’s surreal to see my name on a billboard on Santa Monica Blvd you know? I’ve just been lucky since moving to LA. I mean there were highs and lows don’t get me wrong I went through a few rough patches but lately I’ve just been really fortunate. The bar is going really well. I just got to have my mom out here and I took her to the bar and it was such a magical moment I cried and it as like a dream come true.”

Then we got to talking about the holiday season and what a great time of year it is to give. Tom said, “I’m looking forward to giving back more I’ve just been blessed lately and I want to pay it forward and I’m always looking for more charities to contribute to and be a part of and just give back a little bit.”

Tom mentioned the ChildHelp charity that he was supporting on the red carpet that night and said, “It’s really cool, I was aware of this but I didn’t realize the reach, I had no idea how long it had been around and I was just reading about their story and the creation of this. I was just blown away. They’re making a difference every single day and they’re doing great work and I plan on being more involved here now that I know more about the charity.”

But besides giving, the other big thing the holidays brings to mind is what we can get. Speaking of presents Tom shared what his number one on his list for Christmas this year saying, “I just wanna spend more time with my family. I don’t get to see them nearly enough, they live on the opposite coast and I miss them so much I literally think about them everyday. I’m gonna go home and I’m just gonna snuggle with my mom and my dad and give my brothers a big kiss. I’m gonna spoil everybody maybe take them on some sort of lavish trip like the keys or something. Get some scooters, go fishing catch and release of course!”

So there you have it, more time with family is what Tom is most looking forward to this Christmas. What a great way to spend the holidays! What are you guys most looking forward to this season??

Clare Dunn Performs at the Hollywood Christmas Parade

A post shared by SierraClair (@cerisesdumatin) on Nov 26, 2018 at 8:41am PST

This year country singer Clare Dunn headlined the Hollywood Christmas parade on the walk of fame on Sunday November 25th. She performed several Christmas classics wearing a showstopping winter themed look with over the knee boots and a long red velvet jacket. She also gave the audience a special treat and premiered her new single "Tuxedo" for everyone. The country star gave a high energy performance with the lights of the TCL Chinese Theater in the background and giant floating Christmas decorations all around. Other musical performances included American Idol star Kimberly Caldwell who also performed some beautiful Christmas classics.

Afterwards she rode on a float in the parade with her family! Check out my coverage of the parade in Hollywood Glam magazine and watch my exclusive interview with none other than Santa Claus below!

For the red carpet I went with a Holiday themed look with some Hollywood flare and wore this cute red velvet dress (matching Clare Dunn in the red velvet!) and these Kollectin pearls. I love this dress because it is warm but still comfy and has kind of a gypsy vibe to it with the flared sleeves which ended up being perfect for this event!

Have you been naughty or nice this year?!

How to Look Your Most Stylish Heading Home this Holiday Season

It feels like this holiday season came out of nowhere this year! Now it's almost time to pack up and head home for Thanksgiving dinner. If you're scrambling to find something to wear and are stressing about looking your best when heading home and running into all your old friends and relatives don't worry! Read on for some great tips on what to wear to look your best!

Tip No.1 Dress to Flatter Your Body Type

If you are looking to impress your judgey aunt or are anticipating running into an ex this holiday season this is not the time to experiment with trendy new styles you've never worn before. Go for a look that you know flatters your body type. Even if you're feeling bold you can still play with prints or find some stand out accessories to take your outfit to the next level. A few key things to remember are: stay away from horizontal stripes because vertical stripes are more slimming, darker colors tend to be more flattering, belts are perfect for accentuating your waistline, and color blocking can be your friend if you pick the right pieces. Try this guide to color blocking that I found here for more inspo!

Tip No.2 Add Some Sparkle 

Speaking of accessories, the holiday season is all about glitter and this is the perfect time of year to show off your love for sparkles! Pull out that sequin piece from your closet or treat yourself to some glittering baubles. Statement jewelry is great for showing off your personality and it can also serve as the perfect conversation starter at your mom's annual holiday party. My favorite place to find fabulous jewelry for the holidays is Kollectin. Check out their endless selection of fashionable jewelry using my discount code CERISESDUM and treat yourself! Plus you might find the perfect thing for a few other people on your list this year!

Tip No.3 Don't Wear All Black 

Black is a classic winter color and everyone loves throwing on a little black dress but this year you can look even more festive if you incorporate some color into your outfit. Try a plum, deep red, maroon, navy blue, or even a dark pink this year! Wearing all black can get boring all winter long and brightening up your outfit will get you in the holiday spirit!

Tip No.4 Stay Away from Flowy Styles 

Again, if you're dressing to impress this holiday season hiding under flowy styles won't help you look any better. Contrary to what you might think choosing clothes that are fitted to your body will actually make you look better. Flowy styles can have a volumizing effect and might do the opposite of what you're hoping when trying to look trim and polished this season. Instead of a drapey knit sweater pick a fitted cashmere style and you'll be turning heads all night long.

Tip No.5 Don't Forget Your Beauty Routine 

It's your time to shine this time of year and holiday make-up can be super fun to wear! You can use sparkles almost everywhere to stand out from your eye make up to your hair. My favorite way to get the full holiday glam effect is to wear sparkly body spray or lotion that will catch the light making you twinkle like a snowflake.
