Rachel McAdams is one of my favorite actresses, and I think we all fell in love with her somewhere during Mean Girls and the Notebook, but she recently launched her new movie The Time Traveler’s Wife, and showed up in a plunging neckline dress at the opening. So what do you think of her look, yay or nay? First off I must say this is a different look for Rachel, who is otherwise pretty conservative and simple. I don’t hate the dress, but I can’t say I love it either. I don’t know if it’s the angle at which this picture was taken or what, but she seems really short...

Is it just me, or is the scarf not a super-versatile fashion item that seems to go with everything? I fell in love with scarves, and shawls when I was a little girl and saw my mom wearing all different kinds and colors. Since then, I’ve been a true scarf girl…with what I now like to call “my collection of scarves”…meaning there are just too many too count and I should probably give some away.
