Triplets in California: Who Wore it Best?

It's the battle of the maxi dress! Nicole Scherzinger, Vanessa Hudgens  and Michelle Monaghan were all spotted wearing the Somedays Lovin Liar Liar Dress (it can be found here for $60!). This dress is great and has a fun geometric print with a gorgeous, cut out racer-back.

Let's discuss who wore it best. First, can we talk about how amazing Nicole's hair looks? Does she walk around with a hair stylist to blow out her hair every time she leaves the car?! Stunning.  However, the snake skin heels and bag add too much print to an already busy dress. Vanessa Hudgens, in all her boho glamour, added a long necklace, mirrored shades and some shoes that look like comfort-wear from Dr. Scholls. Not a fan of those shoes, Vanessa. Also, I see that bizarre cell phone case that is trying to be the world's smallest purse. It looks ridiculous.We all know it's a phone case,  please put a normal phone case on without a handle and use an actual purse .  Finally, we have Michelle Monaghan. She added a summery hat and sandals for her shopping trip in Beverly Hills. I have nothing to complain about here! She looks great and although hats are not my thing, I'm just jealous she can pull one off so well. These lucky ladies are all on the warm west coast,  but if you're like me and already facing fall east side, add a leather or denim jacket and some ankle boots and the dress will be ready for cooler temperatures.

Who do you think wore it best? Will you be adding this dress to your wardrobe? Let me know in the comments!

Style to Inspire

Here's another dose of fashion inspiration for your closet. These looks all feature Keira Knightley, quite simply because  I adore her. She's a great actress, witty and a style maven. She can pull off any look and not look like she's trying too hard. She mixes the perfect blend of edgy and classic to make even her simplest outfits pure chic. Here are four of my favorite (well four of many favorites) Keira street shots that are perfect for weathering through fall.















































This is a fantastic fall outfit. Booties and tights are an excellent match. Layering a sweater over a floral mini dress (can be substituted for a skirt)as Keira has done here is the perfect way to bring your summer florals into fall.

Keira is wearing the gorgeous, sought after Balenciaga quilted leather jacket (don't get me started on her beautiful Chanel bag). It is stunning and sadly unattainable unless you're Keira or a millionaire. However, this Mango jacket is a great alternative and relatively well-priced for a leather jacket ($250 but they last forever!):

Here's Keira showing us how to seamlessly put together a lot of neutral colors and make it work. The mix of olive, black, white, camel and grey may seem like a lot but without any distinctive patterns and layered as it is, the look works fantastically. Time to break out some colored pants for fall!

Leave it to Keira to put together a comfy yet stylish travel outfit. Seriously, I have never looked this good stepping off a plane, I'm jealous.  Maybe if I actually try at the airport instead of just throwing something on, I'll walk off the plane looking refreshed and flawless like Keira (doubtful).

What do you think of Keira's style?( if you don't like it oh well, there will definitely be more of her outfits on this blog in the future!) Would you wear any of these pieces? Let me know in the comments!

What to Wear This Fall: Three Staple Items

Fall is coming upon us quicker than I realized. Soon it will be time to do away with shorts and summer dresses and bring out our jeans and sweaters. However, trying to sort through our summer wardrobes and slowly integrate our fall wardrobe back in can be daunting. Three key items to have during the fall are: ankle boots,a well-tailored blazer and a great fitting pencil skirt. These three things can be worn again and again and will never go out of style. Below I have found you different options for each and as usual, none are over $100.

Ankle boots are fantastic and the most versatile fall shoe. They go with jeans, dresses and on the occasional warm day, shorts. Right now, I am loving Chelsea boots and boots with buckles. Here I have given you options for both. There are also wedge (unbelievably comfortable) and heel booties for a Friday night. Whether you like a wedge, flat or heeled boot, all are comfortable and can be worn with endless outfits. This fall, try a color other than black or dark brown (although black will always be my favorite!) such as dove grey, taupe or cognac.

A blazer is a crucial wardrobe item. Do you want to transition a summer dress to fall? Blazer. Keep warm on the subway? Blazer. Perfectly pull together your outfit? Blazer. Want a great statement piece? You guessed it, blazer. Putting on a blazer instantly changes your look. Wearing a blazer can make you look a touch edgier, classier ,dressier all depending on what kind it is. Everyone should own at the very least, a black blazer. However, this fall try to mix it up with jewel tones like sapphire blue and emerald. Or add a printed blazer or a fun one with zippers to your wardrobe.

I am not terribly fond of skirts on me however, I make an exception for a great fitted pencil skirt. They come in so many patters, fabrics and colors it's hard to find one that doesn't look good on you. Pencil skirts look great with heels or booties which makes them perfect for fall. It can be a bit chilly in fall so the added length will help keep you a tad warm. They look great with a sweater or a shirt and blazer. For fall, try a fun patterned  pencil skirt or one made of unexpected material. The above lace John Zack and black and white River Island skirts are perfection!
