Today's Inspiration: Red Dresses

Today I'm feeling a bit inspired. I wore bright, bold red. And as I'm lying in bed writing this, I won't deny that I'm still in a bit of a red mood--whatever that means. But don't worry I'm not mad. I'm just appreciating the richness and depth of this wonderful color. After all, the song isn't about a lady in cucumber green.

Lanvin Hearts H&M? Well, I Heart Lanvin + H&M!

Go bold, Stella. Or go home.

Valentino RED.

Red isn't just for brunettes. Kristen proves that blondes can be bold too.

Who says that reds must be paired with neutrals? Whoever said that was a liar!

Rock that runway Karlie!

I hope that you're a little inspired. I know that I am. Please don't forget to check out my second blog, Thoughts of a Fashionista! And follow this blog for updates about whenever I post!

Style Highlights: Anne Hathaway

Today I am inspired by Anne Hathaway's impeccable red-carpet style. She always looks put together and classy. What inspires you? Leave any thoughts in the comments below!

Anne knows how to stand out from a crowd. This sparkly dress could've easily looked like a costume on the wrong actress but Anne's easy confidence makes it a miraculous event not a disaster. She kept it simple with patent leather heels and only a few bangles for accessories.

This is a masterpiece! I love the lace. The fringe. The bow. All of it. Valentino hit it out of the park with this crisp white dress. I'm just speechless. There are no words to describe how much I adore this dress. I want it for my closet...if only I had a place to wear it to.

I think Anne got a little inspired by the tropical location of her newest film, Rio. The easy lace. The simple braid detail in her hair. The peep-toe shoes. Anne looked like she was ready to head out to the beach as soon as the premiere was finished. She looks flawless.

Anne was one of the best, if not the best, dressed lady of the night at this year's Golden Globes. Her stunning Armani gown stole breaths from the viewers at home and the ones who were lucky enough to see her walking down the red-carpet live. The bronze-y gold color was perfect for her skin tone. And Anne looks confident. She knows she looks amazing and we all agree.

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?

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.
