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!

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.

Thank you for reading. I'll be back tomorrow. Please don't forget to follow and check out my second blog.

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.

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.

Emma "Enchanted" Roberts

Emma is not just known as Julia Robert's neice. She is making a name for herself in Hollywood and her fame just seems to keep growing. Her movie, It's Kind of  Funny Story, looks really good. She shined in Valentine's Day and Nancy Drew--my little sister adores this movie. :)

Now she is shinning in her style. Both literally and not. :) Enjoy.

Emma at the Sex and the City 2 premiere looked chic and fashion-forward. Which is appropriate because Patricia Feilds is all about fashion and pushing limits. :) You can't show up to a premiere like this in jeans and tee. Emma rose to the challenge and showed up in this belted nude cocktail dress. Her bag is unexpected but her shoes were every fashionista's fantasy. Her braided hair was a cute accent to her very stream-lined look.

Next, Emma sparkled in Escada. No pun intended. This form-fitting minidress shows off Emma's slim body. Her softly curled hair delicately frames her face which is covered in neutral makeup. There is barely any eyeshadow and only a light coat of lipstick. Emma paired her outfit with a pair of coppery shoes. Surprisingly they don't make her look like a walking disco ball. Instead they enhance the look.

Emma in Dior is devine! That blue floral print does wonder for her. The color just makes her eyes, skin, and hair color pop. She smartly chose not to wear any bangles or necklaces because the dress grabs so much attention, it doesn't need anything. Well, except for those lace-up shoes. The height on those heels are insane! I don't know how she walks in those but they take this look to a whole different level. So impressed.

Monique Lhullier looks good on Emma. The dress is simple. But the jagged hemline and reverse sweetheart neckline add so much subtle interest. The print--while not in your face--is so delicate and beautiful. Emma threw her hair up in a tossled bun to show off the dress. This was when she was still a brunette. Next she paired her outfit with dull yellow pumps. Excellent choice.



Here's the trailer for her latest movie, It's Kind of a Funny Story. Question: Is the video big enough? Or is it too small? Maybe it's just right. Please comment below!
