This past Sunday were the Teen Choice Awards and while some of us aren't exactly 'teens' anymore (myself included), I will admit that I count myself a fan of many of the starlets that rocked the red carpet that night. What I love about the Teen Choice Awards is that the fashion isn't taken too seriously - it's fun and light hearted! This year's award show saw prints,...
