Celebrity Street Style Edition: The Best of the Best (Part One)


We all know celebrities have a lot of help on the red carpet. From stylists to hair to makeup, everything is done for them. What I love is seeing what they wear on the street. What they (hopefully) manage to put together themselves because that is what shows their true style. One of my absolute favorite street style stars is the fantastic Emma Stone. She's hilarious, a great actress and knows how to dress,what's not to like?! 
Her effortless style is evident the second she walks out the door. She tends to be seen in mainly jeans and they are more often than not rag&bone. My guilty pleasure is treating myself to a pair of these amazing jeans so I understand why Emma lives in them(in these photos she can be seen in the Kensington , Midnight , Swamis and the Heritage washes). The Heritage is my absolute favorite pair of jeans and I have yet to see them look bad on anyone(nor do I think I will). Despite the higher price tag, they never stretch out,lose their color and they make your legs and butt look fantastic. They are made of the best quality materials and completely worth the money. I took my favorite pairs when I lived in Asia and they withstood every kind of test in the humidity. 

Emma's street style is simple but classy. She combines a few key pieces with a gorgeous statement piece like a jacket or some quirky shoes for a chic look. She always looks well put together and her look is something you can easily emulate. It's all about knowing how to put your pieces together for a stylish look. Here are her style staples:

-great jeans
-ankle boots
-flats
-a statement blazer/jacket/coat ( worth spending a bit more for a nice one that will last)
- comfy cardigan
- a good button up
- great bag
- tee's
- comfy sweater
-oxfords


Here are some of my favorite looks of Emma's  and below find out how you can steal her style:

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 for Fall



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.

Blazers for Fall


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.

Pencil Skirts



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!





Mango





These three pieces will benefit your fall wardrobe and give you something to build on. Happy shopping!
