JLo’s Luncheon Neck Piece, Hit or Miss?

What do you think of this JLo look? This photo was taken when she and hubby Marc Anthony attended the Business of Film luncheon aboard the Odessa yacht in Cannes.

How about if I be more specific with my question? What do you think of the scarf Jen used to go with her outfit? Is it a hit, or a miss?

JLo’s Scarf

Personally, though the rose (it looks like a rose, but correct me if I’m wrong) embellished ivory scarf is beautiful on its own, I think her move to use it with the already striking (and might I say adventurous) dress was just a bit too much.

The two tone court jester detailing on the striped dress is already hard to miss; pair that with an equally attention hungry rose embellished scarf, and you practically do an overkill.

So, do you think I have a point? Or do you think I’m just nitpicking?

If you do like her scarf, then you might also like these ruched and ruffled pieces:

Lucy Liu is Pretty in Pink

Seen Lucy Liu lately? You know, one of “Charlie’s Angels”? Well, apparently this Chinese beauty has a new movie called East 5th Bliss and she was spotted filming it in New York last month with co-star Michael C. Hall.

Now whoever styled her for this film did quite a job because she looks vibrant and beautiful in this picture:

I love the mix of colors – bright blue and black printed dress with a beige bomber jacket and a dash of pink around her neck. Lovely. The baby pink printed scarf is doing wonders to her face and her skin. It’s a beautiful contrast to her dark hair too. Did I mention I also like how the prints are being mixed in her outfit?

You think you can pull off a colorful look like this one? Well, how about it if you try? I did some searching and found these pieces from Shopbop.com that you can work with:
