Style Highlights: Reese Witherspoon

Water For Elephants comes out today! I'm so excited. I read the book and it was fantastic. Go check out my review if you already haven't. But I think that Reese will be wonderful in this role. I'm been a fan for ages. Tell me in the comments below which look is your favorite?

Reese was the center of attention that night at the Oscars. She looked amazing! Her hair was so retro but she kept the look incredibly modern. I adored the black and white color blocking--so chic! The emerald earrings were an excellent choice. They added a bit of color to the look without appearing out of place.

Jason Wu + Reese Witherspoon is a combination that never fails. I love this deep, rich color on her. It is bold and powerful. Reese looks confident and happy. Her makeup is natural and her hair looks effortless in soft waves--just like how Reese likes it.

Talk about angelic. In white Reese looks absolutely stunning. If you look closely you will see that the dress is actually textured--a stunning detail that adds depth to the look. I adore the half sleeve and sheer trimming at the bottom of the hem. Paired with simple Louboutins and silver dangling earrings, the look is complete. 

With this look, Reese took a chance and it paid off. She looks so modern in this Zac Posen mini. I adore the bow detailing at the bust and waist. The corset cinches in her waist and the strapless silhouette shows off Reese's toned arms. Reese likes to keep things simple and she decided to pair the look with simple black pumps and minimal jewelry. Although, Reese did amp up her eye makeup. Risk taker!

Thank you again for staying with me. I love blogging and I get so excited when people actually read my words. Don't forget to follow and check out my second blog! See you tomorrow.

Style Highlights: Anne Hathaway

Today I am inspired by Anne Hathaway's impeccable red-carpet style. She always looks put together and classy. What inspires you? Leave any thoughts in the comments below!

Anne knows how to stand out from a crowd. This sparkly dress could've easily looked like a costume on the wrong actress but Anne's easy confidence makes it a miraculous event not a disaster. She kept it simple with patent leather heels and only a few bangles for accessories.

This is a masterpiece! I love the lace. The fringe. The bow. All of it. Valentino hit it out of the park with this crisp white dress. I'm just speechless. There are no words to describe how much I adore this dress. I want it for my closet...if only I had a place to wear it to.

I think Anne got a little inspired by the tropical location of her newest film, Rio. The easy lace. The simple braid detail in her hair. The peep-toe shoes. Anne looked like she was ready to head out to the beach as soon as the premiere was finished. She looks flawless.

Anne was one of the best, if not the best, dressed lady of the night at this year's Golden Globes. Her stunning Armani gown stole breaths from the viewers at home and the ones who were lucky enough to see her walking down the red-carpet live. The bronze-y gold color was perfect for her skin tone. And Anne looks confident. She knows she looks amazing and we all agree.

Thanks for reading! Please don't forget to follow! I'm on my way to getting 1,000 followers and I'm so excited. Please don't forget to show a little love to my second blog. Thanks again and I'll see you tomorrow.

Heart Gwyneth Paltrow's Style

Just watched the E! Special on Gwyneth Paltrow. I found it fascinating. Did anyone else watch it? Since Winter Break started and most of my college applications are done, I've been catching up on all the TV shows I missed due to my over-booked schedule. But enough about me. We're supposed to be talking about Gwyn's style.

Gwyneth knows how to rock menswear with a twist. Classic shorts have been seen all over the red carpet. The classic white color is perfect for a block0buster premiere and she breaks up the monochromatic look with a simple black clutch and peep-toe booties. This clean-lined Valentino look is equally stunning. Add edgy heels and the look is complete.

Gwyneth rocks a futuristic look in this body-hugging mini. The mettalic geometric shapes splattered randomly and the odd cutouts make the look a standout pieces. Piecey curls, dark booties, and a sunny disposition complete the outfit. Gwyneth's next look is more than a bit daring. The unexpected detailing down the center of the dress almost looks like an outline of her ribcage but it is effortlessly chic. Plus, those Lanvin heels are gorgeous.

I'm off to put the final touches on my last two college apps. Yes! I can't wait to be finished.

Rachel Zoe: The Red Carpet

Rachel Zoe. Fashionista. Mother-to-be. 2011 has been a busy year for this reality TV star. And she still manages to look effortless on any and all red carpets she appears on. I know. Sometimes life's not fair. :)

Rachel mixes an unexpected balzer and top with classic capri pants and black shoes. That is what makes Rachel's styling so stunning--the mix of the expected and unexpected. Rachel likes statement pieces that that top/jacket combination is deffinately to die for. Next, Armani is classic and timeless. The assymetrical neckline lets the conservative Rachel show a little skin without showing too much.

I think most people have heard of shirt-dresses but I think the vest-dress is relatively unknown. Rachel Zoe shows us why the vest-dress might soon take off. The sleek black piping is stunning and is a beautiful constant to the pristine white fabric. In the next look Rachel takes a bit more commercial look. This sparkly top is beautiful and is perfect for the holidays.

I'm going to post this tomorrow since I'll be off ice-skating and might not have time to blog. I'm in the mood to blog so you might just find two posts when you wake up tomorrow [by the time you're reading this, today]. Thank you for reading. If you liked what I wrote, please follow my blog for more. Happy Holidays!

Victoria Beckham is Beautiful in Elle

There is just something about British style that is so completely different compared to American style. Victoria Beckham is a style icon. She takes risks--most of which that pay off. And she doesn't let main stream media stop her from wearing what she wants to. I adore her fashion and Victoria Beckham Collection.

Victoria was interviewed for Elle Magazine last year. She looked so pretty that I knew that I would have to feature it in one of my posts. And its finally time. The styling was done by Joe Zee--an amazing man! I hope you enjoy!

"When people say...'Poor you, it must've been really difficult'--poor me? I live in Beverly Hills. I'm very, very lucky. I wake up every morning and reconize I'm blessed." Beckham in a Dior Haute Couture jacket [left] and Diour Haute Couture veil [right].  

"You know, I love America. It's such a positive country." Backham in Diane von Furstenberg swim suit paired with Nina Ricci platforms shoes [left] and Valentino gown [right].

Beckham describes herself as the "squarest woman in Beverly Hills" who goes "to a normal movie theater" with her friends to screen, The Hangover. Bekcham in a Stella McCartney jumpsuit and Giorgio Armani Prive pumps [left].  Beckham in Dolce and Gabbana underwear [right].

Eva Mendes, Backham's friend, described her as "the sexiest, most stylish mother in the world." Beckham in a Roberto Cavalli printed silk-gown [left] and Melange cashmere dress paired with a Stephen Jones for Giles leather hat [right].

If you have any celebrity's closet, who would it be? My answer would have to be either Victoria Beckham or Keira Knightley, British version. American version would be Anne Hathaway or Blake Lively. But my answers seem to be constantly changing. Who would you pick? Comment below!!

Anne Hathaway: Her Style Diaries

We were introduced to Anne Hathaway in the The Princess Diaries based of Meg Cabot's book of the same name. I love both. :) But since 2001, Anne has grown into a truly respected actress--garnering an Academy Award nomination for her part in Rachel Getting Married.

She also works with Rachel Zoe and appeared on The Rachel Zoe Project this season. If the world of reality TV is to be trusted, then she is as charismatic in person as she was in The Devil Wears Prada. :) The fact that she has transformed from Disney darling to fashion queen is very impressive.

I love both of these dress but for different reasons. The Dior look is a bit sexier and the asymmetrical look is very Grecian but with a twist. Anne is known for her million-watt smile and she uses it like a favorite accessory. Her sparkling hoops twinkle from behind her messy hair. <3

Then there is her Armani look. It is ethereal and light but at the same time impeccably structured. Her hair is tied back in a tight bun but still manages to look young and carefree. Some of it must be credited to Mr. Armani's brilliant work and some of it must be credited to her stunning smile.

Anne Hathaway in a Lanvin jumpsuit [left] and Erdem [right].

This Lanvin creation is a jumpsuit but it is a far cry from the outfits that are commonly found at NASCAR races. The asymmetrical neckline shows off some skin, making sure not to overwhelm her delicate frame. Her old Hollywood makeup and hair are such a nice contrast from her super modern Lanvin garment.

Then there is her Erdem look. It is a youthful print cut into a very demure pattern. Normally I would say this garment is a little old for her but she's attending Variety's Power of Women luncheon. That luncheon is to celebrate the strides women have made and it would be distasteful to wear a plunging neckline. To sexual herself at a event that is honoring how powerful women are outside of their sexuality. And for this occasion. The look is perfect. :)

I know I say this every time I post but Anne is one my style icon. :) I guess I have a lot more style icons that I originally thought... But I hope you guys liked this post. What was your favorite look? Do you have a favorite Anne Hathaway movie?

Mine has to be a tie between The Deveil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries. Talk to you guys soon! Bye. Follow! Comment! Subscribe! Please? :)
