Mia Wasikowska + Michael Fassbender for W Mag

Most people know Mia Wasikowska know as Alice from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. But she's slowly becoming a fashion icon in her home, Australia, and her in the states. She and Michael Fassbender are starring in the upcoming, Jane Eyre, based on the book of the same title. And I had to share their spread for W Magazine with you. It's beautiful.

Style Highlights: Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan is a prime example of British style at its best. Ever since she came onto the circuit after she starred in An Education and especially since she was featured in Vogue, I have been in love with this girl's style. She is elegant without looking old. She is totally fashion-forward without alienating the main-stream media. There is balance between style and eccentricity, and Carey has mastered that balancing act.

When I first saw this dress, I wasn't in love but like fine wine [or so I'm told] it grew on me. I saw the way the vertical pleating gave the print of the dress a more eye-catching illusion. The golden wedges were a brilliant idea--not too matchy matchy but it complimented the earthy tones of her dress. Her makeup is understated and I'm in love!

Nina Ricci is known for its elegance and sophistication. What better to wear to the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps premiere? I love the violet color next to her pale skin and light hair color. A simple pencil skirt and patent black pumps keeps the simplicity of the look. So chic.

Carey Mulligan's smile in this picture only makes her look more beautiful. The intriguing detailing and beading on her bodice are stunning. The full A-line skirt compliments the top perfectly, almost falling to the background letting the statement pieces--the top and those ever-so-chic electric blue heels--take center stage.

Carey Mulligan is a very loyal fan of Prada and she always looks stunning. The purple color is much darker than the lilac top above but Carey still looks lovely in this simple-cut mini. She paired this look with the same simple black pumps and cinched her waist with a similarly styled belt. Tre chic! Like my French?

Thanks for reading! I'll be back tomorrow with a slightly different post than usual. I'm really excited about it. Don't forget to follow this blog! Link is to the right.

Style Highlights: Anna Wintour

Although Anna Wintour needs no introduction, I'm going to write one anyway. Throughout the almost two-year history of my blog, I've barely mentioned her in any of my posts [not on purpose. i promise.] I am actually a little embarassed. She is a fashion icon and this is a fashion blog, ergo I should talk about her more. But never fear. I'm going to be changing my ways starting now.

The Must-Have Hair of 2010

Well, of course the haircut of 2010--other than the Justin Bieber swoop--was the pixie. It seemed like every month or two another famous actress was cutting off her hair while others simply rocked their signature style. This is a look at the best pixie cuts and the most sought after look going into 2011.

The pixie cut is so fashion and stunning--if you have the right bone structure--I just worry that I don't have that structure. My hair is my safety blanket. But maybe 2011 will hold new and exciting things. Today is Christmas. I hope everyone is having a great holiday with their friends and family. I'm waiting for my mom to wake up so that we can finally open presents.

Introducing Miss Mulligan

Carey Mulligan was recently interviewed for an article in Vogue. In the article I found her charming and humble. I wish the article had been more about her and less about what other people thought of her but it was intriguing to hear the story about how this English Rose has started to blossom.

The photography was amazing. So many Haute Couture gowns. So much drooling on my part.

When asked by her trainer what she wanted to look like she responded, "I don't want to look like an actress; I want to look like a person." Mulligan wearing Dior Haute Couture gown.

"This need to trump everyone bewilders me. I'm only 25. I'm not better than anyone." Mulligan in a Balenciaga gown and necklace [left] and Givenchy Haute Courture tulle dress [right].

"At 25 I shouldn't be doing the easy stuff. In the future, when I have responsibilities and a family, I can do the conventional stuff." Mulligan in Nina Ricci [left] and Dior Haute Couture jacket with Prada pants [right].

"When I was fifteen, I had vivid dreams of acting with Judi Dench...[then on the] first day of Pride and Prejudice, there was Judi Dench." Mulligan wearing Valentino Haute Couture [left] and Haute Couture Chanel [right].

Carey is one of the stars of the new movie, Never Let Go, alongside Keira Knightley [Pirates of the Carribbean] and Andrew Garfield [The Social Network]. If you want to see Carey's red carpet style, click here.
