The Style Files: Just Like the Clouds, My Eyes Will Do the Same if You Walk Away

It's pretty simple: I love Bruno Mars. Sometimes, I wish my life was a Bruno Mars music video. Not too much to ask, right?  Anyways, I love this song. It's so precious and beautiful. Also, can anyone really resist Bruno's casual wear?

Style-Spiration: Jessica Alba 

I thought it was about time to give Jessica Alba- a.k.a Brad Goreski-  some fashion kudos: Alba looked heavenly at last week's Golden Globes and can we even talk about her fab ensemble at Karl Lagerfeld's latest Chanel event in Vegas? I love how she's always versatile, yet is never too daring. That sounds kind of paradoxal, doesn't it? Well deal, because it's true. 

At the White House Correspondent's Dinner (Marios Schwab): Okay, this is my favorite Jessica Alba look: hands down. The subtle peplum and the jeweled neckline are so effortlessly chic. She kept the rest of this look pretty simple. On the beauty  front, Alba  aced this look: the simple makeup, sleek hair, and, oh, the pink nail polish? Incredible. (Photo Cred)

At the Chanel Event in Vegas (Chanel): This look is the epitome of old-school Chanel. Though the black and white color combination may seem a bit primitive at first, I love how she- or Brad Goreski- accessorizes the geometric dress with funky jewels. The long hair gives this look a splash of youthfulness while that cranberry lip screams glamour.(Photo Cred)

Out and About (Unknown): You know a celebrity is a true fashion fanatic when he or she dresses to impress on their days off. I love how Alba plays with colors, patterns, and textures. That yellow trench is a perfect spin on such a timeless piece. To keep this look quirky, Alba added the pastel scarf.  Gorgeous. (Photo Cred)

At the Armani Hotel Opening (Armani Prive): I'm kind of obsessed with this subtle sexy look. The hemline is so demure; however, that side silt give off such a "come hither" vibe. The floral print at the bottom of the dress is so retro, which works beautifully with her glamourous up-do. Her style is the gift that keeps on giving. (Photo Cred)

Ladies and gent, it's about time for a fabulous...

Anti-Weekly

• Miranda Kerr at the G'Day USA Gala (Michael Kors): Um, Miranda Kerr is gorgeous and everything, but this look is way too much. The cutouts are anything but flattering and paired with the high-slit? Trashy, not classy. The geometric clutch is pretty random: the curves aren't cohesive with the geometric lines of the dress. Also, it's winter time a.k.a no strappy sandals.  Definitely not appropriate.
• Shailene Woodley (Christopher Kane): Not only is this dress absolutely hideous- I hate the fabric and print- with a burning passion, but the styling is so boring. Besides the horrific strappy shoes- I'm literally going crazy over this faux pas- there's no jewels, no fun makeup, and no terrific clutch. It's just...basic. Over it.

The Weekly: Have A Holy Jolly Christmas

I'm the worst.

I'm not very good with daily updating a blog.

But I hope Christmas was lovely for al!!

Overall, I was extremely pleased with my Christmas turn out. Although my house almost burnt down, I had a lovely holiday.

New Slippers! They're so comfortable but I'm a little thrown off by the lack of holes!

Nothing like some brown and white on Christmas!

I loved all of my new jewels! So much gold and sparkles. My lovely boyfriend also got me beautiful jewels that aren't photographed, but I love them regardless!

My favorite presents: McQueen Scarf (!!!) and VonFurstenburg Pom-Pom Hat! Ready to embrace the winter instyle!

Love.


In terms of the Weekly, disappointing.


The only one I could find that the tiniest bit appealing was Jessica Alba shopping for groceries! Sad, right? I liked how besides the yellow printed dress, Jessica Alba's look was rather dark. It was chic for running errands without trying too hard. It's also extremely season appropriate; I hate seeing people wearing short shorts during the winter. I understand that weather varies from place to place but it seems extremely odd for an eastcoaster, like myself. The tights, cardigan, and boots made this bright dress very clean and wintery! Solid work, Jessica.

The Weekly: Going the Distance

If someone is not aware how badly I want to see the new movie, Going the Distance, they definitely do not know me: every time I see a simple commercial or advertisement, I get really emotional and start a whole rant about how good that movie looks. Justin Long is adorable, it just looks good, and it speaks to me, being in a semi-long distance relationship. But yeaaahh I really want to see it.

So anyways, I went to college this weekend. Yeah, scary. I was debating on what to wear for a move in day: I wanted to look fashionable and be functional at the same time, so why not a romper? And my new hat? Good, right? WRONG. My so-called romper, which isn't even on the Urban website anymore, RIPPED. The first time wearing it. FML. But it was a good thought so oh well. It's interesting, though, to see how other people dress (maybe a blog about that).

Onto the weekly looks:

• Drew Barrymore at the Going the Distance LA Premiere. To quote Rachel Zoe, I DIED when I saw this. DIED I TELL YOU. This Catherine  Malandrino is so incredible and that semi-studded belt is so fabulous. I’m not the biggest fan of the matching pumps but she seriously looks like a beachy diva goddess. Her jewels look great and I LOVE THIS.
• Kate Beckinsale at the Going the Distance Premiere also! I love this little black and white  Versace number. She took an  unexpected turn with a LWD. The black pockets are new and exciting. I think that Beckinsale always has spot on fashion so it was definitely a relief to see this. Although I wish her accessories pushed the envelope a bit more, she’s still STUNNING.
• Jessica Alba at the Machete  premiere. I LOVE THIS BALMAIN. Black and gold is such a typical color combination, but the zig-zag pattern really spiced it up. And the strappy shoes were strong enough to work with this dress and definitely sexed it up. I love love LOVED this combo. It was so fall which I was totally loving! 
• 08/27/2010- Celine “Look of the Day”. I love this look. The white turtle neck. I also love this juxtaposition of a rough fabric being tiered. Tiered dresses, in my opinion, are so flattering. I usually think Celine things are boring but I’m LOVING this. Usually, I hate minimalism, but I think this one is unique enough for it to work.
