Steal Their Style

Steal Their Style by randon1993

1. Join the Military

Dakota Fanning is slowly becoming a well-known fashionista. She looks effortless and carefree as she goes home after a long day of shopping. If you want to add a bit of edge to your outfit, simply get inspired by the military. Check out this winter trench and cozy drawstring jacket. Or maybe splurge on this cotton military button-up.

2. Do the Denim

Every girl has her favorite pair of jeans. Next time mix it up with a cute denim vest like Jessica Alba's. It will be perfect as the weather warms up for spring. It is important to know that denim on denim is a fashion statement not a fashion no-no. Try a cropped vest to show off your figure. Or maybe you'll like this acid wash vest for a bigger contrast between your jeans.

3. Embellished

Carey Mulligan is one of the hottest British starlets at the moment. And she isn't getting rave reviews for only her acting, her style is sophisticated and drool-worthy. A simple way to add elegance to an outfit is an embellished top. Embellished does not mean gaudy. Try this delicate grey tank or tribal-inspired tank. Or if you're a bit more adventurous check out this embellished cardigan.

4. The Wider the Better

Nicole Richie, boho star, has been spotted sporting these adorable wide-brim hats all over town. They're a simple way to stay cool, stay chic, and hide from the paparazzi. Get a caramel hat with a adorable heart detailing or go for a more structured straw hat. This wool wide-brim hat is super affordable and the ties will make sure it stays secure through rain, wind, and paparazzi.

Don't forget to stop by my personal blog! And I would be so thankful if you followed either, or both, of my blogs. Thank you to all my lovely readers and I'll see you tomorrow!

Style Highlights: Dakota Fanning

The recent star of The Runaways, a movie about the band of the same name, is no longer the little girl from Uptown Girls and Charlotte's Web. I was surprised  to discover that this girl has style. I didn't know until she started promoting New Moon.

She was on the cover of Teen Vogue and it was stunning. I did a post about it earlier. Please, go check it out. But without further ado, a look at Ms. Fanning's impecible style. Enjoy!

The sparkle details on the shoulders and the sheer neckalce show off skin without becoming too vulgur. Balance and proportion are key with girls that young. I applaude Dakota for not dressing to shock people by showing as much skin as possible. But shes makes people notice with her impecible sense of style. Not very many people can make Haute Couture fit into main-stream. I also love her makeup. She looks fresh and rosy-cheeked.

Then there's that nude colored Elie Saab look that is to die for. Hello? The embrodiered cocktail dress is effortless and light. She looks confident put together and any girl, worth her weight in Chanel clothes, would want that dress. She has this ability to sell products. Her Brian Atwoods are pretty amazing too.

While Dakota's other two looks were soft and utterly femine. She also looks equally beautiful in these more structured looks. In that leather Valentino look she looks equal parts soft and tough. My favorite type of look. The neutral colors make her blue eyes pop and I'm obsessed with her black statement ring.

Then she pairs her ivory studded/embrodered dress with the perfect accesory. Yes. Of course I mean her platform purple Brian Atwood pumps. They're the perfect pop of color and I will always be a fan of purple Atwoods. :) Always. I just need to get myself a pair. And soon.

Doesn't she look absolutely stunning. I'm a little envious of her shiny, blonde hair. So pretty. :) I'm excited to see what the future has in store for this talented actress. I really wanted to see The Runaways but I just never got around to it. If you saw it what did you think?

Red Carpet Alert!: LWD

Make way litte white dress, for the long white dress. It is the perfect way to make a statement on the red carpet. And it is slowly becoming a favorite among fashionistas everywhere. What do you think?

Kirsten Dunst in Chanel [left] and Kristin Davis in Balmain [right].

Kirsten Dunst looks flawless in that Chanel. The red lip. The retro hair. The bold earrings. There is nothing I would change. Kirsten is so admirable because she dresses for fashion not to please the main-stream media. But this looks pleased both fashionistas and non-fashionistas alike. The delicate neckline/top of Kristin Davis' gown is so beautiful. There is no denying that.  

Gwyneth Paltrow in Emilio Pucci [left] and Eva Mendes in Dior [right].

This is the gown heard round the world. When Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out in this daring gown it grabbed huge attention. From the front it appears demure and minimalistic but that side slit sends a statement. Some people said that it was inappropriate for a woman of her age but at what age does being sexy end? She has better bodies than many twenty-year-olds and more power to her. Eva stuns in this simple white gown accented with vintage turquoise jewelry. A statement cocktail ring and a pair of subtle earrings and the look is complete.

Jessica Stam--Canadian supermodel--looks amazing in this mod-inspired look. With high teased hair and monochromatic, sweeping gown looks incredibly modern with simple but important touches like a round clutch and bold, chunky lilac necklace. It hangs on her body beautifully. While Jessica went for minimalistic, Dakota went for volume. The tightly fitted bodice is juxtoposed by her alightly overwhelming skirt. The skirt is a bit unconventional because it starts below the hips.

I'm about to take my sister to Starbucks--that was part of my Christmas present to her. She has fallen in love with White Chocolate Pepermint Mochas [minus the Mocha]. So we're going to get cofee and then spent the day at the mall. On my dime, of couse. Wish me luck. What did you get for Christmas?

The Twilight Cast Gets Fashionable

Today we're going to take a look at the lovely ladies from the Twilight Series in celebration of the DVD release of Eclipse! Are you excited? I know some of you aren't but you have to admit that some of those girls have amazing wardrobe stylists. :)

Ashley Greene in Giambattista Valli [left] and Prabal Gurung [right].

Ashley Greene is set to host, Fashion Forward. She has graced the pages of countless magazines and she is the most noted fashionista that has come out of the franchise. She normally picks classic pieces but then adds a funky accessory like a bracelet or bag. And plus, she looks fabulous in red.

Budding fashionista Dakota Fanning took the fashion world by storm with her high end styles. Its hard to remember that this is the little girl that stole hearts in Uptown Girl. It's been a while.

Nikki Reed in Burberry [left] and 7 For All Mankind [right].

Nikki Reed flies under the radar due to her absence from the headlines. And I think that's probably the best for the longevity of her career. Nikki Reed looks stunning my favorite brand [Burberry] and I don't think there's a time when she doesn't look fabulous. :)

Kristin Stewart in Herve Leger by Max Azria [left] and Helmut Lang [right].

I adore Kristin with red hair. It makes her look more fashion and less greasy. Does that make sense? I don't know. I'm excited for Breaking Dawn the movie even though it was my least favorite book in the series. I felt it was just a waste. What did you think?

__

 I think Eclipse was my favorite movie but New Moon will always be my favorite book. I prefer Taylor because I find Edward a little...intense [edit: i mean Robert, i don't know why i wrote edward. Lane what were you thinking? duh.]. I'm going to get so many hateful comments because I just said that. 

Dakota Fanning's Street Style

Dakota Fanning, Homecoming Queen as well as celebrated actress. She was semi-recently given her crown at a crowded football game for her high school, Campbell Hall High School, home of the Vikings. But not only does does Dakota sparkle on the red carpet. She also has super chic, slightly rocker, style.

Dakota's simple black velvet booties blend perfectly into her jeans. It's hard to tell exactly where her boots end and her pants begin. Add a graphic tee and the look is complete. Next, Dakota makes a bold statement with her leopard jacket and then keeps it fairly simple on the bottom. The sunnies are stunning, Dakota.

Who knew panchos could look so good? Dakota opts for a mostly minimalistic look on her airplane trip but that punch of red is perfection. Next, she goes a touch more girly-girl with a simple skirt and top. A military inspired jacket and grudge booties give the look much needed grit. Adore.  

I hope your weekend was great! Mine was. Christmas lights are up outside. :) I feel so merry and bright! What about you? Feeling the Holiday cheer yet?
