Elle Party: Sarah, Brittany, Audrina, Sophia, Jordana

Seems like the same handful of tv actresses making the rounds at the Hollywood parties these days! Sarah Hyland hosted a party for Elle. I love this mini dress and am on the hunt for the maker! LMK if you're on it. 

 Always feminine Jordana Brewster in Temperley London. 

 Brittany Snow in a Tom Ford tuxedo. The length of those bell-bottoms is killing me.

 Sophia Bush returns to my good graces in Erin by Erin Fetherston. Love this dress.

 Audrina Patridge seems to be resurfacing more and more. Wonder what she has coming up to promote?

InStyle Summer Party: Tiz, King, Walsh, Bush

Sophia Bush was on such a role with her outfits, but I think like most of us this color yellow does not look great on her complexion.  The ensemble is Ted Baker. I'm pretty sure this is what my hair looks like when I let it dry in a pony tail. Exactly.

 Now this is Marchesa done right! Jaime King looks positively Lemon-equse (that would be Lemon Breeland from Hart of Dixie, not Liz Lemon from 30 Rock) in this red, girly frock. She also doesn't look so incredibly frail, I see curves here!

I think this calls for a JLaw gif!!

 Jordana Brewster always goes for feminine looks. I haven't seen the end of Dallas yet, but I heard it was really good!

 Oh dear, this is not her best look. I have come to think of Khloe Kardashian as the real tastemaker of the three on the current season of KKWTK. I see her wearing polka dots, orange lips, all kinds of trends on the show that films a few months back. Her style also seems the most relatable. She is in the running to host X Factor and I think hosting is definitely her next career phase. She has the most personality and would be great at it.

Out and About: Mendes, Roberts, Kunis, Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence runs errands in Hollywood. Get excited for plenty more gif opportunities from JLaw, my personal favorite gif-able celeb (sorry Dawson). Her Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson has been spotted around LA with Peeta blonde hair so I think filming will begin shortly. Liam is still working on a film in Philadelphia, but his role in this film will also be fairly minimal (boo). The only new casting I really cared about is nearly confirmed; Finnick Odair will (probably) be played by Sam Claflin, a Brit who played William in Snow White and the Huntsman.

AnnaLynne McCord returns to work filming 90210. Are these kids still in high school?

Emma Roberts tends to her ultra blonde tresses.

Girly Girls: Agron, Greene, Biel, Rossum

 First I wanted to show you a new friend Tamale made at the dog park. He's a piglet named Ben and she was very curious about him. She even play bowed to see if he'd chase her.

But when he came in for a sniff, she was not as ready to get up close and personal with him.

Anna Kendrick wears a pink Mulberry dress to the premiere of ParaNorman in Los Angeles. Temps are on the rapid rise here and I think we'll get more stars in cocktail dresses as opposed to the pants we've seen a lot of this summer.

Jessica Biel wears Oscar de La Renta on Good Morning America. 

What color do you call this? Because this is nearly the shade of my bedding that I cannot match with anything for the life of me. Green with heavy blue undertones? It's a great color on her isn't it? Her eyes look really bright.

 Dianna Agron, I'm so sorry to say this but I thought you were a classed up Paris Hilton. I see now that it is you shopping in Paris. I think my Samantha doll has this dress as well.

Emmy Rossum allows her curls to run free while shopping in SoHo.

Hitched: Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman, 31, married BenjaminMillepied, 35, in Big Sur (south of Carmel) over the weekend. They began dating late 2009 while working together on Black Swan and have 13 month old son Aleph together. The traditional Jewish wedding was at a private ocean-front estate after dark and the reception was at Las Ventanas.

DON's Dishes: Coconutty Granola

I've been making this granola recipe for myself and my family whenever they visit or I head home. It takes very little time, makes your house smell like Christmas, and lasts...well I've never really been able to tell how long it lasts because it goes so quickly, but it definitely stands up for awhile.  I have a series of house guests headed my way and I love having this on hand for quick breakfasts, hiking with the pups, or a late night snack.
