Celebrities Love Monique Lhuillier

Thanks to this post I can now finally spell, Monique Lhuillier. In the past I would always have problems remembering if the 'h' came before the 'u' or how many 'i's are in that word. But I finally have it! In case you didn't know, today's post will be brought to you by Monique Lhuillier. I hope you enjoy!

Celebrities Love Michael Kors

I have been obsessed with Michael Kors lately. I keep blogging about him and his brilliant work because...well, why not? He is a business veteran that deserves a lot of love from fashionistas like myself. And since I can't actually afford any of his work, I'll be content to just blog about it.

I think all of these ladies look amazing. Although, I'm a little partial toward Leighton Meester and Gwyneth Paltrow. Both look stunning. Which looks are your favorite? Leave your opinion in the comments!

Red Carpet Alert!: LWD

Make way litte white dress, for the long white dress. It is the perfect way to make a statement on the red carpet. And it is slowly becoming a favorite among fashionistas everywhere. What do you think?

Kirsten Dunst in Chanel [left] and Kristin Davis in Balmain [right].

Kirsten Dunst looks flawless in that Chanel. The red lip. The retro hair. The bold earrings. There is nothing I would change. Kirsten is so admirable because she dresses for fashion not to please the main-stream media. But this looks pleased both fashionistas and non-fashionistas alike. The delicate neckline/top of Kristin Davis' gown is so beautiful. There is no denying that.  

Gwyneth Paltrow in Emilio Pucci [left] and Eva Mendes in Dior [right].

This is the gown heard round the world. When Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out in this daring gown it grabbed huge attention. From the front it appears demure and minimalistic but that side slit sends a statement. Some people said that it was inappropriate for a woman of her age but at what age does being sexy end? She has better bodies than many twenty-year-olds and more power to her. Eva stuns in this simple white gown accented with vintage turquoise jewelry. A statement cocktail ring and a pair of subtle earrings and the look is complete.

Jessica Stam in a floor sweeping gown [left] and Dakota Fanning in Valentino [right].

Jessica Stam--Canadian supermodel--looks amazing in this mod-inspired look. With high teased hair and monochromatic, sweeping gown looks incredibly modern with simple but important touches like a round clutch and bold, chunky lilac necklace. It hangs on her body beautifully. While Jessica went for minimalistic, Dakota went for volume. The tightly fitted bodice is juxtoposed by her alightly overwhelming skirt. The skirt is a bit unconventional because it starts below the hips.

I'm about to take my sister to Starbucks--that was part of my Christmas present to her. She has fallen in love with White Chocolate Pepermint Mochas [minus the Mocha]. So we're going to get cofee and then spent the day at the mall. On my dime, of couse. Wish me luck. What did you get for Christmas?

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.

Red Carpet Alert!: Lots of Leg

Love long dresses but want to show some skin? Follow in the trend that has been seen all over the red carpet. This look favored by stars like Angelina Jolie and Taylor Swift. They seem like such opposites but they both look amazing in thigh high slits.

Angelina Jolie in Versace [left] and Carrie Underwood in Georges Chakra [right].

The is nothing better than a sexy woman in a white Versace number. Jolie proves that statement. With her 60's inspired hair and all white ensemble she looks like a show stopper as she promotes her new movie, The Tourist. Underwood pairs her stunning red lace gown with simple gold sandal pumps and clutch. The sparkly red band cinches he waist and adds a little punch to her delicate garmet.

Kate Beckinsale in Balmain [left] and Gwyneth Paltrow in Atelier Versace [right].

Beckinsale chose a black sequined dress and accessorized with simple black pumps and a studded belt. She chose to throw her hair into a simple hair with simple curls left down to frame her face. Paltrow looks stunning in her pink, white, and grey gown. For such a high profile event, Paltrow let her long blonde hair down and pulled to one side.

Taylor Swift in Monique Lhuillier [left] and Victoria Beckham in her own design [right].

This is Taylor Swift's year. Her style and status as a musician has blossomed. She looks stunning this red number. With an messy upswept bun and dangly earrings, Taylor completes her look. Beckham looks amazing in a design of her own. Beckham has garnered acclaim for her designing skills and even though the Spice Girls are no more, Victoria is as posh as ever.

Christmas break is finally here. Yes! :) Last week was a whirlwind of finals and homework. Only got homework over break in one class but its kind of a big project. What are you planning to do for the holidays? If you want to come with me on my trip to pick my Christmas tree, click here.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Big Interview with Chlesea

Gwyneth has been making headlines. And not the way most celebrities do. No stumbling out of night clubs. No good girl behaving badly. She performed at the CMA's promoting her new movie, Country Strong. Then she made a guest appearance on Glee [which i loved!], and now she was on Chelsea Lately's Big Interview Special with Anne Hathaway and Xtina.

Who said that short weren't stylish? Well, obviously that person has never seen Gwyneth Paltrow rock them. She picks a dark color-short with a light lavender top. The top is baggy to contrast with Gwyneth's long legs. And those black strappy heels are to die for!

Stella McCartney has a way with separates. And this sand blazer looks great with her military inspired cropped pants. Most of you know that I'm a big sucker for anything military inspired. I love army green as a neutral. Her hair is always styled to perfection but I'd love to mention that her shoes are so unique. With the wide, white band across the front. So pretty.

Gwyneth Paltrow in Louis Vuitton [left] and Calvin Klein Collection [right].

LV. I have been and always will be in love with Louis Vuitton. I love the dress itself. Its stunning with the subtle sparkles and tear-drop shaped whole in the front. That is so unique and cutting edge. Not adoring Gwyneth's sleeked back hair but I understand that she was taking a risk. And I applaud her on that.

Next this citrus colored mini is so chic. I love short dress with long sleeves. In my mind its a classic way to look professional without looking hoochy. She paired them with subtle heels that are meant to accessorize not steal the show. A very smart move.

First, let me say that Gwyneth's interview with Chelsea Handler was hilarious. I loved it when Gwyneth was talking about how her daughter talks in a British accent when she's with friends but is completely American with the family. Apple sounds adorable! Just watch the interview below!

Gwyneth Paltrow Gets Glee-ful

Lately, I've felt that the episodes haven't been as strong as last season but in the past couple weeks there has been vast improvement. I love Kurt's blooming relationship--he needs someone to love. And Gwyneth brought so much life to Tuesday's episode. Not only can this woman dance and sing, but she has great sense of style too!

Gwyn looks sleek in a fitting Victoria Beckham dress. She's always been a fan of the minimalistic look and it always looks amazing on her. Gwyneth knows that less is sometimes more. Some of the credit must go to Ms. Beckham for her ingenious dresses that make all women look incredible.

Next, Gwyn has been of fan of the British powerhouse that is Burberry. Her medium length seems to always be tousled to perfection. She looks chic in a classic trench and rain booties. When you're singin' in the rain, this is the way to look. That was my favorite song from the whole episode.

Gwyneth Paltrow in classic blazer with military-inspired pants [left] and sheer white button-up with black shorts and a Stella McCartney clutch [right].

Gwyneth takes a much more casual approach in her laid-back blazer and military pants look. Even off the red-carpet, this Academy-Award Winner looks like a star. She doesn't look like she's trying too hard and the entire outfit looks effortless. And on a side note, I'm always a sucker for military-inspired pieces. Those pants are to die for. :)

A slightly less casual look. With a tucked in button-up and super short black shorts, Gwyneth takes a new spin on menswear. Makeup is minimal and she accessories the look with simple black pumps and a bag from her friend, Stella McCartney. So chic.

If you want to see Gwyneth and the entire Glee cast preforming a mash up of Singin' in the Rain and Umbrella. Click here. I thought it was one of the best performances, if not the best, of the season. What do you think?
