Jennifer Lawrence in Teen Vogue

In the past year Jennifer Lawrence has been nominated for an Academy Award, had the opportunity to play a superhero in the soon to be released X-Men movie, and been cast as Katniss in the highly anticipated movie adaption of the Hunger Games series. Such a busy girl. She is also the latest covergirl on Teen Vogue.

Front Row at Marc Jacobs

Style Highlights: Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is currently pregnant with her second baby. Congrats! But that has been known to the public for ages now. Today I'm writing about Jessica because although I just watched The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and hated it, there is no doubt that Ms. Alba is a fashionista in real life and totally stunning.

Jessica looks totally ready for spring! Her Marc Jacobs mini is to die for and I adore the chunky velvet shoes she paired her look with. They're so young and chic! Her hair is simple and her makeup is basic to keep the main focus on that drool-worthy dress. Where the attention should be!

Just because Alba looks stunning in a floral mini, doesn't mean she can't rock a men-inspired pant suit. In black from head to toe, she looks flawless and ready to take on the world. She added a subtle pop of color with red nails and to break up the monochromatic look, she added a simple white clutch and a bit of bling.

My closet is calling for this dress. It is so versatile and elegant. The floral detailing along the skirt is perfection and I adore her bold choice of a deep lip. It keeps the look planted firmly in the fashion world rather than letting it wander into the land of little girls and dress up. Chunky heels are a fashion statement that I am a firm believer in and her hair is simple and fresh.

Bold. Alba went bold in this edgy one-shouldered look. She kept the look all black, save for the flashes of bronze and gold along her neck and at her wrists. Her hair and makeup were severe and very rock and roll. Appropriate for the AMA's, no?

Red Carpet Alert!: Velvet Shoes

Velvet shoes. They seem a like an odd accesory but they're the perfect one. I recently got a pair. But I'm not the only one who's been seem out and about sporting them. Ladies like Jessica Alba and Katy Perry are loving the trend. Do you?

Lust List: You Belong With Me

Oh, Taylor Swift. You've helped me through long car rides, intense workouts, and the occasional emotional crisis. I bought her newest CD the moment it came out but recently I've become obsessed again. My favorite songs are Mine, Sparks Fly, and Back to December. 

Today, I decided to share my latest Lust List with you guys. How did you like my latest post collection, Best Dressed List of 2010? I'm really proud of the work that I did. But anyway, enough rambling. Let's get into the post.

♫Marc by Marc Jacobs Pouchette Small Leather Bag
♫DVF Bolo Skirt
♫House of Harlow 1960 14ct Gold Large Key Cocktail Ring

♫Saint James® Meridien ii Tee

♫Ski Lodge Mittens

♫House of Harlow 1960 Women's Jean Boot

♫Elizabeth and James Gypsy Sleeveless Silk Blouse

The return to school countdown clock has begun. I can't wait! [note my sarcasm] I hope your new year is off to a brilliant start. Still have to write the research paper that's due the day I get back. Oh, procrastination. You get me every time.

Emma Watson: Life at Brown University

Emma Watson graced the cover of Marie Claire. Despite the blogger scandal that rocked day-time television [a blogger said that watching Mike and Molly disgusted her because they were obese], I was glad that they featured Emma Watson. She is so classy and smart and not to mention a style icon.

"My last day was pretty emotional. It was sad; it's the end of an era. What an amazing learning experience! I gave everything I could to that role, and I got so much from it." Emma Watson in a Vera Wang jacket, Ohne titel tights, Burberry shoes, and assorted jewelry [left]. Emma Watson in Fendi dress, Camilla and Marc bodysuit, Sass and Bide embellished vest, and Christian Louboutin shoes [right].  

"I'm glad I saw [the Harry Potter franchise] through to the end; I played that character from the start, and I wanted to finish what I started. It felt very satisfying that I had completed Hermione's journey." Emma Watson in J. Mendel vest, Ralph Lauren Blue Label pants, Lulu Frost bib necklace, Aandre Neen bracelet, and Fenton pendant necklace [right]. Emma in Burberry Prorsum jacket, top and Minnie Mortimer shorts [left].

"I've wanted to [cut my hair] since I was about 16...It's very short; it was buzzed at the back and on the sides. And it's really liberating that I can walk out without thinking about it." Emma Watson in Helmut Lang top, Marc Jacobs panty, Jimmy Choo shoes, and assorted bangles.

"I threw my 20th birthday party at Brown, and I didn't even have to say to anyone not to put pictures on Facebook. Not a single picture went up. That was when I knew I'd found a solid group of friends, and I felt like I belonged." Emma Watson in a DKNY top, Alexander Wang leggings, J. Mendel Vest, and assorted jewelry [left].

 I got an email from a young girl and she asked me if I could periodically update you guys about the books that I'm reading. I used to do that a lot but I've been slacking. Partially because I've been slacking on reading. I normally try to read a book a week but sometimes that doesn't happen.

 

Well, right now I'm reading True Compass by Edward "Ted" Kennedy. He passed away recently and I just find the entire Kennedy family fascinating. JFK and Jackie O. Iconic family and Ted's memoir gives a little insight on this private family.

The Rachel Zoe Baby Project!

I blogged about Rachel Zoe's pregnancy before it was officially announced. I know. I know. That's bad journalism--if you can ever call what I do journalism. But I was too excited at the prospect of a baby Zoe. Anyway, now I don't have to use the words "allegedly" when I'm talking about it. Here's a look at the clothes a baby girl Zoe would inherit. Lucky.

Rachel Zoe in Marc Jacobs [left] and Chanel [right].

Rachel shimmers in this marvelous Marc Jacobs number. Zoe went to support her good friend in his own design. Long sleeves on a gown can easily look matronly but with the low cut top and the high middle slit keeps the dress look young and fresh. No jewelry, a black clutch, and a heels keep the look stylish.

Chanel is effortless, classic, and iconic. And Rachel is all of those things in this black garmet. Her signature blonde waves are the only bit of color in this monochormatic look. But what it lacks in color it makes up for in beautiful construction.

Emilio Pucci is known for his brilliant uses of prints. And this look on Rachel is no expcetion. The floorsweeping length is so glamorous and elgant. A clutch and bold bangle is all she needs to complete the look.

Calvin Kelin is effortless, simple, and clean lines. This jumper is exactly that. The olive green color is a nice unexpected neutral. Throw on a jacket and Rachel would look amazing in the cold winter weather and yet she reminds everyone of spring on the inside. Lovely.

I hope that Rodger and Rachel have a beautiful baby. I'm a huge fan of their show and they've been talking about having one for a long time now. Does anyone know when the next season of The Rachel Zoe Project set to premiere on Bravo? Comment below!

Favorite Victoria's Secret Angels!

The Victoria Secret's Fashion Show was on last night. At ten o'clock, two hours later than last year, due to complants from parents that this material is too racy for some younger viewers. Or at least that's what my VS Pink ethusiast sister told me this morning. But whether you loved it or hated it, it was a show-stopping event. Katy Perry was brilliant and all the angels looked amazing. Let's a take a look at some of our favorite angels, past and present.

Chanel Iman in Prabal Gurung [left] and Marc Jacobs [right].

One of the newest additions to the VS runway, Chanel Iman is a pro at walking. She has graced hundreds of runways in Paris, Milan, and New York. She is an all-American girl: born in Atlanta, Gerogia and raised in Los Angelos. But with a name like Chanel, this girl was destined for the fashion world. It was so sweet seeing her get her wings. :)

Ms. Miranda Kerr is one of many who are currently part of the fashion baby boom. Her baby, the father being her husband Orlando Bloom, is said to be delivered in January 2011. This Austrailiam beauty is known for her sweet dimples in her cheeks and her long run as a VS model. Unfortunately, Miranda wasn't there to rock the runway. Being pregnant and all.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry [left] and a grey/brown fur coat [right].

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley isn't too  familiar with American audience but that won't last for long. She was chosen to repalce Megan Fox in the popular Tranfsromers series, the latest of which will be blasting into theaters summer 2011. This British beauty has been in ads for Burberry and Victoria's Secret.

Heidi Klum in Jenny Packham [left] and a fitted bedazzled blazer [right].

One of the best known VS models. She's transformed her success on the runway to an even more successful brand. She hosts the ever popular Project Runway on Lifetime. And she and British singer Seal have four children together and Ms. Klum became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 2008. Unforntuately Ms. Klum has retired her wings. But we will miss her.

The lineup of angels doesn't stop there but I don't have the space, nor the time, to list every angel. That would be unrealistic. I picked my faves. Who is your favorite angel? Comment below. I'd love to hear from you!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Turns 10!

There is no doubt that Marc Jacobs is a powerhouse in fashion. He's a risktaker. But from his risk, he usually reeps huge benfits from his daring, and incredibly wearable, garmets. And in celebration of Marc by Marc Jacobs turning 10--wow! has it really been that long?--I'm featurting one of my favorite runway shows.

It was young and fresh. And in my humble opinion, an iconic show. What do you think?

Kind of a long post. But it was hard only picking fourteen looks. Happy birthday! :)
