Style Highlights: Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts is an up-and-coming fashionista. I've written about her in numerous posts before and she keeps impressing me with her sophisticated, yet age appropriate, style. She manages to be trendy but look classic and ageless at the same time. I adore her style and I just recently rented one of her older movies, Wild Child, so look forward to a review on my other channel.

This look is very different from what Emma normally wears. It's not the pretty sparkly dress with the classic heel--not that there's anything wrong with that look. I adore that look! But Emma decided to pick a sleek tailored pant, architectural heels, and a sheer printed top and I adore this choice. It's more modern woman than girly-girl. Everybody needs a bit of change now and then. Plus, I adore Zac Posen's work. It's genius!

This is more of Emma Robert's norm. She is known to wear a lot of Jenny Packham because that brand is known for high hemlines and lots of shine. Emma looks beautiful in this silver colored mini. She kept her hair natural--almost as if she just rolled out of bed--and the shoes are nude to make her legs appear longer than they actual are. No jewelry and a simple clutch--the look is done!

I love that electric blue. And the cutouts are so chic. It seems like everyone is wearing cutouts lately. The sheer tights help create continuity and simplicity with a busier print. The lace detailing along the neckline is also so adorable! There really is nothing that I don't love about this look. A+!

While I think Emma looks beautiful in this dress. I do feel like it was made for an older woman. I don't know if its the color or the cut but I think this dress would look STUNNING if it was a different color or if she paired it with an even bolder shoe. I'm glad she went with gold instead of black or grey but it isn't quite there yet. This is more B material. But I love the effort and she doesn't look bad by any stretch of the imagination, it just isn't up to par with other looks I've seen.

Olivia Palermo: Devine in Dior

 Today is a simple post featuring Olivia Palermo and her stunning Dior Cat Eye Sunglasses. This woman is always dressed to perfection. But don't take my word for it. What do you think of her style?

Style Highlights: Ginnifer Goodwin

Ginnifer Goodwin! I can't explain how much I adore this woman's sense of style. Its so cutting-edge without going Lady Gaga. She always looks effortless--which is a true sign of style. I know which look is my favorite. But tell me which one is yours in the comments below.

So chic! This harem pant and bustier combination was a stroke of genius. I adore the way that it looks like a cat suit almost. The bold gold accessories are so perfect as are her satin purple heels. On any other woman this look would've been too sexy and maybe a bit trashy but somehow, and I'm not quite sure how, but Ginnifer manages to keep this look effortless.

Valentino. A girl can never go wrong in Valentino. Well, a girl can but not Ginnifer. I love the bold color against her brunette hair. I adore the lace. So modern and classic without looking old. No jewelry and nude pumps complete the look. Just stunning.

Another perfect example of how lace can be fresh and youthful. The color is stunning against her pale skin. Understated [but drool-worthy] shoes and simple diamond earrings complete the look. Ginnifer knows the art of not overwhelming an outfit with unnecessary accessories. She's very gifted in that sense. Plus, did I mention how much I love how she styled her hair in this picture? Because I do.

A little glitter can go a long way. I adore this dress on Ginnifer. The cut is very flattering--and a throwback to the time of Mad Men. The sheer top is very flattering and those red shoes are brilliant. A pop of color, especially red, is perfection when done right. And, by the way, this is done right.

Rihanna + Miu Miu Peep-Toe Booties

Rihanna is a risk-taker. I don't think anyone would argue that point. Her style is so versatile and unpredictable. Lately Rihanna has been spotted around town with her Miu Miu peep-toe booties. And they're adorable. I want a pair of my own!

Style Highlights: Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams in a tailered peacoat [left] and a mustard plaid dress [right].

Michelle looks utterly chic strolling through the streets of NYC in a simple peacoat and tights. The big bold golden accesories and the bright red of her Louboutin heels are the only accents of color in this neutral look. Simple shades add a touch of mystery and confidence.

Michelle looks stunning at the Venie Film Festival. Her simple mustard and cream dress takes a modern twist on the traditonal plaid pattern. Big white buttons and wide front pockets give the dress a sweet feel. Add strappy brown platform sandals and the look is complete.

Michelle looks lady-like and sweet in this Oscar de la Renta mini. The lace and bows are delicate and romantic without looking like a little girl playing dress-up. This is a look that is timeless. In ten years it will look as effortless as it did the day the picture was taken.

Michelle picked a crisp and clean Christian Dior gown and paired them with stunning plum colored pumps. The ruffles at the bottom and the top add a touch of feminity that she loves incorporate in her looks. A cinched waist and the high hemline show off her excellent figure.

Michelle Williams in Erdem [left] and Sonia Rykiel [right].

Michelle looks stunning in this bold red lace mini. The lady-like cut is complimented perfectly by her edgy heels. The soft curls in her short hair is a welcome change to her usually straight pixie cut. Michelle takes a completely different approach. In this Sonia Rykiel dress she looks fresh and fun.

Michelle Williams, Dawson's Creek alum, has been gaining fame for not only her outstanding acting ability--but for classic fashion sense. She might've had her begining in teen drama but she has slowly been distancing herself by taking on bold and risky projects, like her newest drama with Ryan Gosling called Blue Valentine. Michelle's career has jsut taken off and has no sign of slowing down.

Karlie Kloss: Model on the Runway

Designers never have the same aesthetic. They never have the same vision. In one season we can see aviator to rocker chick. From floor length fur to no pants. Each season is a flurry of activity and fashion. Model, Karlie Kloss is able to walk in one fashion show to the next with the same elegance and charm.

But what makes her so popular with designers is her ability to transform from one character to another. Don't believe me? See for yourself.

There's something about the fantasy on a runway that is just so appealing. That's why I love fashion. It is a world of fantasy--a way to escape from reality. It expresses what I'm feeling that day and who I am. I love Stanely Tucci's quote from The Devil Wears Prada.

"Don't you know that you are working at the place that published some of the greatest artists of the century? Halston, Lagerfeld, de la Renta. And what they did, what they created was greater than art because you live your life in it."

Just a little inspirational quote for the day. :) Bye!
