Beat the Winter Blues: Adding Color to Escape the Cold

While browsing through Instagram and my favorite stores this week, I noticed one thing they all had in common: everyone is ready for spring. Every shop window and online photo is filled with bathing suits, shorts and rompers. Every email I get is for the unveiling of the new spring/summer collection and the date it's going on sale. Seeing all this  made me giddy for warmer weather and almost made me forget it was 10 degrees outside. Side note to the fashion world: it's still freezing, please do not stop selling sweaters and jeans and gorgeous coats for at least three more months.

 The second I wake up in the morning, I am already dreading walking out the door and bearing the cold weather and I know I am not alone in this. However, as much fun as it is to moan and complain about the cold, instead lets just try and embrace it while we can and find a way to beat these terrible winter blues. Aside from going to happy hours to warm us from the inside out, try adding bright pops of colors to your wardrobe on top of  your usual black and neutral tones. True, this won't make the cold any warmer, but it will remind you of a warmer time and adding a bright color can help brighten your mood.

Whether it's a bag, flats, or even just a gorgeous bra, try incorporating a dash of color into your wardrobe tomorrow and see if it helps you add a bit of sunshine into your day.



Here are some great additions to add to your daily wardrobe that will give your outfit some vibrancy:

1. Wolverine Josette Oxford

2. Purple Cable Knit Sweater

3. Madewell Pink Bralette 

4.  Choie's Peach Coat

5. Vintage Laser Cut Purse

6. Mango Dress (also in red!)

7. A Day in Your Shoes Flat in Rouge

8. Bigsby Pom Pom Beanie

9. Lydell NYC Floral Stud Earrings

10. Sole Society Stud Earrings

11. Plaid Scarf

12. Uniqlo Striped Oxford

13. Blue Crossbody Bag

SAG Awards Style: Who Nailed It?

It is officially my favorite time of the year: awards season. The Critics', People's and Globes are out of the way making room for the SAG awards last night. Anyone who knows anything knows that the people who win at the SAG awards are most likely to win the Oscar. This is not always true but it is about 90% of the time. More importantly than who won what is what people allowed their stylists'  to dress them in for the show. Awards outfits thus far have been lackluster and bland. There are only so many strapless gowns (Sofia Vergara, I am talking to you) and Grecian type dresses that can be worn. This post is about those who stepped outside of the box (or at least toed the line) and tried something a little bit different.

Here are the stars whose stylists' convinced them to take a risk and in doing so, they looked amazing:

Keira Knighley finally managed a great awards season red carpet appearance in this purple Erdem dress. I am all about comfort, and totally understand Keira wanting to be comfortable while pregnant but it is no excuse for the horrendous outfits she has been choosing as of late. However, all is forgiven with this dress. It fits her perfectly and the little extra overlay of lace across her stomach is a subtle reminder that she is expecting a little one-and still looking better than all of us!

Keira also had a fantastic hair and makeup team for her look. I like that her hair and makeup (minus a great smoky eye) were kept simple so that all of our attention was on the gown. She looks completely elegant and that killer diamond ear cuff gives a little edge to her look.

Sarah Hyland is getting so much flack for this custom Vera Wang Collection number that I just do not understand. Sure, I am not crazy about the cream layer under the black tulle overlay, but I have to give her kudos for wearing something original and rocking it. It's nice to not see her in just your typical, strapless, A-line gown. The intricate detailing of the gems on the top of the dress add some color and make the gown pop.  I love her subtle, metallic eye makeup and simple up do. Too many times young stars wear copious amounts of makeup (maybe a bid to look older? ) and contour their faces to death, but as Sarah proves, sometimes less is more.

Maisie Williams, also known as Arya, the, kick-ass, superior Stark, looked amazing in a Self Portrait dress for the awards. This gorgeous, red lace dress is the perfect choice for Maisie. It's in an eye catching color, looks comfy, and best of all- she won't be tripping on a long train! I love the raw hemline and how it flows to a stop perfectly above her shoes. Some may say it's not dressy enough for the SAG Awards but I disagree. She pulls it off perfectly and her gold heels add a bit of glitz to the outfit. Plus it's 70 degrees in LA! Who wants to be wearing some tight, satin contraption all night?! 

I adore Modern Family which means I also love Julie Bowen. What's not to love about her? She's hilarious, well-dressed and a bit quirky in her interviews. Here she is wearing a Georges Hobeika Couture embellished dress. The detailing on this dress is fantastic and must have taken hours to complete. I applaud her for choosing something more demure and lady-like. During awards season it's a constant battle of who can show the most cleavage or whose dress slit is the highest. It's refreshing to see Julie choose something that looks great on her without having  her boobs out or a slit up her thigh. Stay classy, Julie! 



















Everyone reading this knows how much I adore Emma Stone. She is the coolest and if you disagree, go to another blog please! When I first saw this Dior Couture look, I loved it. It's stunning on her and definitely different than anything I have seen her in on a red carpet. The tuxedo dress in itself is amazing but the sheer skirt with the long train and red lips add a touch of old Holly wood glamour a la Grace Kelly. Emma is never afraid of wearing something unexpected and this look is no different. I can't wait to see what spectacular creation she will deem to let on her for the Oscars.

Fall Outfit Inspiration

Fall is finally here to stay. Nice cool days with chillier nights. Time to search the always amazing tumblr for some fashion inspiration. Are you on tumblr? You should be, everyone cool is on tumblr now. Tumblr has vast amonts of photos that you can scroll through easily, and save to your own dashboard. I found this gorgeous outfit from Paris fashion week while browsing, (check out my tumblr for fashion inspiration: ellewhoshops.tumblr.com) and decided I needed to recreate this look.







Photo Credit: Tumblr





This outfit is the epitome of layering to perfection. A button up below a cable knit, below a stunning forest green coat. Navy blue and black is one of my favorite color combinations, and this outfit shows why. The navy sweater compliments all the black in the pants, shoes, and shirt below it. It also adds a nice touch of color once the coat is taken off. Peter Pan collars are adorable, there is no way around it. They add a touch of femininity to the androgynous button down shirt. While green is not my favorite color, the rich color of it in this blazer boyfriend coat is gorgeous. This style of coat is flattering on everyone, and you can throw it on over anything, and it will make your outfit look sharper, and instantly more pulled together. Last year, I snagged an Anne Klein, oversized boyfriend coat with leather accents. I throw it on over everything and I instantly feel more stylish and like I deserve to strut down the street. Want to recreate this look and look chic walking down the street? Find out how to recreate this perfect fall look below.

Finally Feeling Fall: Outfit of the Day

Today, I gave in to fall. I have been resisting the chillier weather for a couple weeks now because I adore summer. However, now that I finally broke out my fall wardrobe, I couldn't be happier. After a summer in Asia, I forgot how nice it felt to be in a cozy sweater, and how great ankle boots look with everything I own.

Last weekend, I was smart enough to head over to H&M and luckily, I wasn't disappointed. Everything in the sale was an extra 50% off! How can you beat that?! Today when I had to pick out my outfit, I pulled out the new scuba skirt I got for the fantastic price of $3.50 ( UNREAL, please go to an H&M near you and experience this glorious sale), my favorite cable-knit burgundy sweater and some MIA ankle boots. Honestly, the look was perfectly adorable as well as being cozy beyond belief.

 My new favorite combination fall is definitely a great swingy skirt ( I have yet to try it with a pencil look- that's for next week!) paired with a sweater. It's a classy look that can take you from work to happy hour and can be worn with flats, sneakers, boots or heels. Honestly, what's not to love about it? I'm sure you already own a ton of cute and comfortable sweaters, so go out and treat yourself to a swirly skirt and some tights and try it! The sweater/skirt combo is extremely versatile and looks amazing on everyone.

Find out how you can recreate this look below!

 

 

 

 

 

What I'm wearing:

Skirt // H&M

Top // It's from Vietnam- no brand unfortunately

Necklace // same as above sadly

Boots // MIA (comfortable and chic)

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. 

(Photo Credit: Imgur and the Daily Mail)

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.

~ Crown Vintage Cambridge Booties
~ Zara Mixed Knits Sweater
~ Old Navy Cable Sweater
~ Collective Concepts Garden Mini Dress
~ Phaedra Floral A-line Skirt
~ Mark Floral Print Skirt



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!):

~ Mango quilted leather jacket














































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!


~ Joe's Coated Jeans
~ Henry & Belle Coated Jeans
~ John Rocha Cardigan
~ People Tree Grace Classic Cardigan
~ (Faux) Leather Bomber Jacket
~ V-Neck Top


If you're fancy or just flushed with cash here are the actual booties Keira is wearing ( she is also wearing them in the photo below):

~ Acne Short Pistol ankle boots

If you're more like me and love outlet malls and online sales these are for you:

~AE Booties
~ DV Joust Ankle Boot

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).

~ Tommy Hilfiger Skinny Pants
~ Topshop Leigh Jeans
~ Forever Boyfriend Blazer
~ Dailylook Cuffed Blazer
~ Zara Oversize Sweater
~ Zara Cropped Sweater




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!

Gladiator Sandals or Leg Cages?

One of the main fads I have sadly been seeing steadily growing more popular is knee high gladiator sandals. Everyone from Jimmy Choo to Chanel is making them and it is atrocious. The shoes look like cages for your leg. Your calves are suffering in jail because you chose to wear sandals(which are meant for feet) that touch your knee! Do you really want tan lines on the bottom half of your legs? Also, if you have more athletic calves the sandals may have unattractive bulges as a lot are not adjustable. It's like a muffin tops for your legs!  The first appearance of these monstrosities is Mary-Kate Olsen in Chanel sandals in 2007 (pictured below in the black dress). Since then, the shoes have only grown in popularity. Around 2012 they made a huge comeback and were seen in 2013 on everyone from Vanessa Hudgens to Rihanna to Anne Hathaway. No one was spared, except for the people with good taste. 

My main problem with these shoes is that they take away from the outfit. I understand they are statement shoes but when people wear them I literally cannot look at anything else. They look too busy. If I had to choose I would say I prefer the flat sandals versus the heeled. Anne Hathaway is pictured below wearing Tom Ford heeled sandals (what is that dress Anne?! It looks like you taped a bunch of trash bags to your butt.) which make her outfit even more unappealing. The middle part of the shoes looks like duct tape was wrapped around her calves. Really, Anne? Don't get me wrong I love knee high boots like any other girl, but sandals are meant for the summer so there should be less material to let your feet breathe in the heat.

Here are some people who gave in to the trend and allowed themselves to wear the sandals in public:

Yays and Nays: Celebrity Style This Week

It's the end of the week again! Time to share my opinions on what other people let themselves wear in public. This was a crazy week for the elite: TIFF(Toronto International Film Festival), New York Fashion Week and parties for both. I tried to narrow it down to my usual 10 outfits but it was a bit difficult. Surprisingly, there were a lot of fantastically dressed people this week!



Here are the women who stepped up their style game this week and looked splendid:



                                                                                                                                                                               




I adore Mindy Kaling. She's hilarious (seriously check out her Instagram and Twitter), smart and is never afraid to say what she really thinks about any topic. She is a great role model for women everywhere.  In addition to being an all around amazing person, Mindy knows how to dress. If you have seen her Instagram, you know she loves fashion and dressing up. Whether for work or lazing around the house, she's got on something fabulous! This outfit is no exception. The navy color of this Aurora Dress from Opening Ceremony looks great on her skin tone. The jewels all over the dress are beautiful and in a unique pattern. The white shoes play off the dark dress and are gorgeous. You can't see it, but the heels of the shoes are bejeweled! Her minimal makeup and ultra shiny hair look amazing. Well done, Mindy!

















Can you believe this woman has had three children?! Me neither (look at her teeny waist). Jennifer Connelly looks fantastic. She has great style and knows how to always dress for her age, the season and event. Here she is at the press conference for her new film Shelter. The play on patterns and material in the top and skirt go well together. I love that it's all black but in the right light, the sparkles on the top shine through. I'm not crazy on the shoes but overall, Jennifer's looking good!

Does Megan Fox have any flaws? Not that I can tell in this picture. Navy and black is one of the best color combinations. To anyone who says they don't look good together, look at Megan. Besides being the perfect shape, the black high necked top is the perfect fit for her bodycon, zippered pencil skirt.The Jimmy Choo's on her feet aren't too shabby either. 


















Keira Knightley is one of my favorite actresses. She may also be the most beautiful person on Earth. If you can't figure it out ( which would be embarrassing) she is wearing a Chanel dress. Keira is the face of Coco Mademoiselle and a close friend of Karl Lagerfeld, therefore she often is seen in the brand. Normally, I am not a fan of labels everywhere but on this beautiful boucle dress it just works. I love the combination of colorful C's ( and the number five and the word Chanel) with the black and white monochrome background. There is also a darling Peter Pan collar hiding under her hair. I wish she had chosen different shoes, but I'll ignore them and just stare at the dress!














I am in love with this 3.1 Phillip Lim outfit Rose Byrne is wearing at TIFF. From the mint green floral embroidery to the mixing of textures (netting on the sleeves and the black floral lace at the bottom) to the great pointed pumps, it's impeccable. Her wavy bob and plum colored lipstick go perfect with this darker look. Nothing to complain about, I would wear this entire look!






















Keira's style game was on fire at TIFF and so naturally, I  had to include this absolutely stunning Chanel dress. This dress fits her perfectly and it's beautiful.  The tulle skirt and bows on the back of the heels add a feminine touch to play off the square shoulders. Her hair and makeup are simple but look good. Great job, Keira ( and your stylist), please go to more events so we can all enviously stare at your sensational outfits!














Here are the people who should not leave the house ever again if they can't get it together:








When I first saw this photo I laughed. It is typical of Miley Cyrus to dress terribly these days and this is no exception. It looks like Lisa Frank vomited  everywhere and that made her outfit. Actually, Miley made her accessories and they are part of her "art" show entitled Dirty Hippie . They were also part of the Jeremy Scott Show during New York Fashion Week( don't ask me why he would allow this). In her hair she has some sort of ice cream/ barrette situation going on. I have no idea how that thing is staying up. Her necklace and bracelets are made up of the colorful and lettered beads found in friendship bracelet packs for seven year olds. The necklace also features a tree car freshener,  a cigarette and what looks like a doll's head. Marijuana earrings adorn her ears. Stay classy, Miley. The clothes are chaotic and crazy. The top is just a colorful sports bra. The pants look like a child's sheets stitched together. At least her abs looks great. Now that I've examined this picture for so long, I need to go wash my eyes out.

Paula Abdul looks amazing for her age there's no doubt about it. However, that does not mean she should be wearing a micro mini made from ostrich feathers. The snake print belt around the middle does not go at all ( but what does) with this skirt. If she was a dancer on Dancing with the Stars this look would be ideal but she's not so it needs to be done away with. My only positive is that her hair looks great. 

No, your eyes are not deceiving you. That's Miley Cyrus walking down the street with those heinous buns in her head and ice cream pasties on her boobs. I'm almost speechless. Since when is it acceptable to walk around wearing pasties and sparkly leggings? I get it Miley, you're cool now and a hippie and have songs with Snoop Dog, but good lord, please try to  look in the mirror with your red rimmed eyes and see yourself for what you look like in your clothes or lack thereof. It's offensive to everyone.




















Usually Jennifer Lopez looks amazing on the red carpet. Sadly, she only looks good from the chin up here. This dress is a tad too ghetto fabulous. There is a gold collar around her neck leading to a gold train track going straight down her chest going into yet another gold collar around her waist. That cannot be comfortable. And talk about a high slit! I should be seeing underwear but maybe she's not wearing any, or it's just really good tape. The hoops are bigger than my hand which is not acceptable and must be killing her earlobes. The only positives are her great shoes and clutch and obviously her body looks killer.

















Jennifer Morrison is taking the effortless look a little too literally here. This dress is too big on her and reminds me of a nice pajama dress a grandmother would wear. It is doing her figure no favors. The shoes look clunky and have awkward cutouts. It would have been better if she had worn a strappy sandal.  Also, that bag is not a clutch and shouldn't be held like one . The only positive is that I guess the dress does look comfortable.

Here is Rita Ora at Fashion Rocks. I appreciate that she has her own unique sense of style , but there's a line between unique and ugly. The top of the dress is okay even with the sheer paneling down the arms. However, from the waist down everything goes wrong. I know for a fact that Rita is not a ballerina so I don't know why she's wearing a mini tutu.I'm sure if she bent over we would see just a bit too much. Her hair (taking a cue from Miley) looks like the ridges on a dinosaur's back. It's probably painful to have it in those tight little buns but fashion is pain sometimes right, Rita? The whole look is a mess and shouldn't have been worn to an event where fashion is celebrated.

Yays and Nays : Celebrity Style This Week

Hello! The end of the week means it's that time again to judge other people's fashion choices. Ready or not here we go!

Here are the style stars for the week. The people who made great fashion choices and rocked them:

Style

Stars

(From top left: Emmy Rossum,  Jessica Chastain, Rihanna, Diane Kruger)





Emmy Rossum- First up is the amazingly talented Emmy Rossum ( Shameless, anyone?). Besides being an incredible actress, Emmy has some serious street style game. Here she is on her way into the airport in a picture perfect outfit. I adore her dress and as soon as I ID it, I will need it in my closet. The shape is flattering on her and the length is perfect for a lunch date or a chilly flight. I love the different colored stripes. Instead of the usual black and white, it is black with a light teal with another smaller white line in that. If you've been reading my blog, you know oxfords are my go to flats. I adore the navy patent leather ones Emmy has on here. They go great with the dress and prove you can wear black and navy together successfully. From the bag to  the dress to the shoes I  have no complaints, I want it all!


Jessica Chastain- Who doesn't love Jessica?! Here she is being honored at the Deauville Festival for her career achievements. She is killing it in this Oscar de la Renta dress.While pink is not my favorite color, it looks great on Jessica. The details on the dress are fantastic. Metallic gold and silver leaves and  flowers blending in with rainbow ones are all scattered down the front on the dress. The blend of colors all together on top of the pink flow smoothly and look stunning. As an added bonus, there are pockets! Who doesn't love a dress with pockets? . She makes it work so well. On the shoe front, she is wearing some killer ( quite literally) gold Christian Louboutin heels. Her makeup looks fantastic. The red lip and smoky eye look help complete this look. Also, check out those adorable butterfly earrings!

Rihanna- This is definitely a more demure outfit than I am used to seeing on Rihanna. This buttoned Adam Selman dress and all her white accessories (especially the long strand of pearls!) make her look angelic. We all know bad gal Riri is still underneath but I love that she wore something less risque for a change. Her minimal accessories (minus the new {maybe fake} hand tattoo) make you focus on her outfit and flawless bronze smokey eye. Cheers to this outfit Rihanna!

Diane Kruger- Diane is hands down one of the best dressed people in the world whether on the red carpet or off. She can and does pull off any look. This simple but elegant Prada dress looks as if it was tailor made for her and goes great with the Prada shoes she is wearing. Her very minimal accessories make you focus on her. The best part of her outfit is the gorgeous rose headband she is wearing. It is difficult to pull off  a headband and most people can't (but sadly still do) but of course Diane looks fantastic. This may not be the most" WOW" outfit of the bunch but it goes to show that you can choose something seemingly simple but make it your own and look incredible.


Here are the people who forgot what good clothes look like:

Fashion

Fails

(From top: Lena Dunham, Toni Garrn, Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum)

Lena Dunham-  Lena, I know grunge is supposedly back but I think this outfit needs to be tucked way, way back in the depths of your closet and never brought back out again. When I saw it, I wasn't surprised because Lena tends to make terrible fashion choices( the Emmys, anyone?). Although I do like the neutral black and white palette, it is just an unflattering look. The dress is shapeless and the bow is obviously too big and garish. It looks like someone just stapled on a big piece of ribbon and didn't even try to make the bow even.  And really Lena, you couldn't iron the dress before you went out? How lazy.The shoes are heinous. There is no other word. Flatforms should not be in existence and should all be done away with forever. Anyone caught in them should have to pay a fine. They are bulky and do not look good on  feet.

Pros: The plaid coat is great and perfect for fall.

Toni Garrn- I'm glad you're happy with your outfit Toni, because you're the only one smiling. Showing your granny panties through your outfit is never a good look. The sheer skirt is one thing but with the completely cut out top it is too much. I do not approve of seeing your underwear through an outfit and never will. Keep it in your pants please! The top of the dress looks like someone shredded it with a potato peeler. Not a good look.

Pros: Love the red lip and heels.

Kim Kardashian-  Honestly, when I first saw this outfit I cringed and then laughed a little because it is so ridiculous and so Kim K. Kim, I understand you married Kanye but  please, stop letting him dress you. This outfit is atrocious. First of all: boobs. I can almost see nipple! Inappropriate for the red carpet. The cut of the leather bodysuit is god awful ,it looks like the eyes of a fly.  Secondly, the skirt is worn right underneath her chest which is not a flattering cut off point for her stature. It makes her look shorter and her hips look ginormous. Kim, please go back to a few years ago when you dressed somewhat tolerably.

Pros: Hair and makeup are flawless as usual.

Heidi Klum- I do not know why you are smiling Heidi. You're a supermodel with endless amounts of beautiful clothes and this is what you chose to wear in public? There is a cut off age for wearing crop tops and sadly, Heidi is way past that.  This outfit looks like it was handmade and not in the great custom made way. It looks like the end result of her kids' art project. It does absolutely nothing for the model figure she has underneath. The top ( if she just had to keep it) would look far better tucked into some denim shorts and the skirt would look better in the trash. Auf Wiedersehen to this outfit!

Pros: None
