'Mad About Style': Zoe Saldana in Calvin Klein and Nina Dobrev in Thakoon

Both of these ladies are rocking the heck out of the mid-drift baring trend.  I love how they balanced a risque look on top with very conservative look on the bottom with longer A-line skirts.

Diana Agron looks so amazing as she prepares for the Met Gala, her makeup is so flawless and it really brings out her eyes!!

The Muse: Solange Knowles

Solange Knowles is really coming into her own as a tastemaker and just overall style icon.  I can not emphasize how much I love her personal style.  It is so daring and eclectic.  My fave blogger Garance Dore did a very interesting profile of Solange over on her website, you guys make sure to check it out!!  

'Mad' About Style: Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

I came across this photo while I was browsing Olsens Anonymous and my mouth literally flew open.  Aside from the contrast in black and white I find the make-up on both of them to be flawless.  I love the bold eye with the nude lip, it screams effortless glam. Also loving the hair, one with the beachy waves and the other with the slicked back bun is perfection!! I am borderline obsessing over the beauty details in this photo and am tempted to try this as a signature look this summer.

I really love the styling and the make up of Jessica Biel's cover story for April's issue of W Magazine!!  She looks amazing as usual!!

Beauty: Natural Hair Inspiration 'Corinne Bailey Rae

First thing's first apologies for my sporadic posting, as I approach the blog like I do any other hobby sometimes I am not always motivated to post and currently have been dedicating more time to other hobbies i.e. reading and decorating my house.  Imagine coming across this beautiful photo, I just had to post and share with you guys.  I don't know if anyone has ever noticed in my few outfit posts but I have natural textured hair free off chemicals and I often oscillate between not doing anything to it to full on blow out/glam mode.  I honestly love my hair when it is au naturel a' la this photo of Corinne Bailey Rae.  Her curls are so beautiful and after reading this post on her haircare regime I am even more motivated to try to embrace my natural texture even more.  Its really cool that she uses a lot of the products that I do.  I personally swear by anything Aveda.  Their product line is amazing and has been the catalyst in the recent growth and health of my hair.  I try other products from time to time but for me it always comes back to Aveda.    

'Mad' About Style: Rooney Mara in Givenchy

I am really loving Rooney Mara in this Givenchy gown for the Oscars.  Rooney has been making very bold red carpet moves to go with her drastic makeover for the Stieg Larsson Trilogy movies she will  be filming, starting with this winter's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.  I have yet to see a look on her that I don't love. I am also loving the hair and makeup.  She has a very unorthodox cut so it isn't much she can do with it and I guess in this case less is more.  

Cover: Nina Dobrev for Nylon Magazine February '12

It finally arrived.  I am so obsessed with Nylon Magazine right now.  I don't know if it is because of their layout and its indie feel but it is most definitely the one I look forward to in the mail every month.

I am not usually a fan of overly casual clothes but I really do love the leather sleeves on this William Rast sweatshirt.  I could definitely get with this denim look worn by Jessica Biel in Elle's December cover story

She finished the look off with nude Brian Atwood pumps.

'Mad About Style: Chloe Moretz in Christopher Kane

 I have mentioned before my adoration for Chloe Moretz here, but I really love her in this colorful Christopher Kane Resort 2012 number.  I am loving the high-low hem and the look is not overwhelmingly mature and it suits her well.

'Mad' About Style: Solange Knowles in Dolce and Gabbana

Simply amazing.  So many details.  These Dolce and Gabbana leggings are just gorgeous.  I am not a fan of wearing leggings without significant amounts of layering with them but Solange pulled the look off here with the menswear tuxedo blazer and classic button up collar shirt.  I love that she added the leopard shoulder bag.  This is definitely something I would wear, in my case I would toughen it up with a pair of boots but I understand it is the middle of July.  

Editorial: Anna Paquin in Marc Jacobs for V Magazine

Huge fan of Marc Jacobs and it is ridiculous how I am able to recognize one of his creations almost immediately.  Much like his spring collection I also love what I am seeing for fall.  I think I might end up going crazy with the polka dots this fall much like I did the nautical stripes this summer.  I think Anna Paquin looks amazing in these editorial shots for V Magazine.

Seeing Spots: Emma Stone 'Elle Magazine' July 2011

I am absolutely loving the Elle Editorial 'Riot Girl' featuring Emma Stone.  The editorial explores the designer trend of using polka dots this upcoming Fall season.  My favorites were the Stella McCartney Tulle Blouse as well as the Sergio Rossi leather and suede boots.

Youth Movement: Chloe Grace Moretz

 I have been recently reading a lot about the Olsen Twins and their fashion empire and have become increasingly obsessed with the youth movement in the fashion industry.  One of the most recent photo stories in Vogue featured some of the up and coming young actresses in the industry and the one that always stands out the most in my mind is Chloe Grace Moretz.  Chloe Grace Moretz entered my world the day I saw 'Kickass' and I was like who is this little girl.  Well due to the power of the internet and google, I came across an amazing editorial she did over at Interview Magazine.  Chloe always looks amazing and I really do love her personal style as well as red carpet style.  You guys keep your eyes peeled for her I am telling you she is an amazing talent but her impact on fashion is yet to be felt.  Not to mention she is one of the prettiest girls I have ever seen.  If she was a bit taller she would most definitely be walking someone's runway (that is if she didn't have the acting thing going for her)

'Mad' About Style: Emma Watson in Marchesa & Notte by Marchesa

I have mentioned previously that Emma Watson is one of my celebrity style muses along with Rachel Bilson.  Emma sure does love her short hemlines and I honestly can't blame her with those gorgeous legs.  She looks amazing in these Marchesa & Notte by Marchesa dresses.
