Style Highlights: Leighton Meester

Leighton Mester is a triple threat. Singer, Actress, and Fashionista. Don't we all love and remember Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester? I was just listening to that song and I was inspired. Which look of Leighton's is your favorite? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

Leighton looks classic and effortlessly chic--although she kept it a little edgy with a tribal-inspired bib necklace. The geometric detail at the hemline is so unique but she keeps the look simple with patent leather mary-janes. The winged eye makeup is so stunning. I wouldn't mind if she wore that look more often.

Leighton goes fun and care free with this adorable Elie Saab number. It is light, fresh, and so youthful. The textured details on the shoulders and at the hemline beautifully contrast the velvet pumps Leighton picked for the night. She keeps the look youthful by piling her hair on the top of her head with a few tendrils framing her smiling face.

Leighton rocked a white textured look mini and flowered heels. I adore mini-dresses with long sleeves. They're much more fashion and a lot less hooch. Leighton's long loose hair is a stunning contrast with the crisp white color of her outfit.

Leighton always looks her best when she's wearing dark colors with a slight rock-and-roll feel. This Michael Kors gown is the perfect mix of soft and hard. The cut-outs of the leather top show off Leighton's toned body and tiny waist. I adore the ombre affect and the pin-straight style of her hair. Adore!

Celebrities Love Michael Kors

I have been obsessed with Michael Kors lately. I keep blogging about him and his brilliant work because...well, why not? He is a business veteran that deserves a lot of love from fashionistas like myself. And since I can't actually afford any of his work, I'll be content to just blog about it.

I think all of these ladies look amazing. Although, I'm a little partial toward Leighton Meester and Gwyneth Paltrow. Both look stunning. Which looks are your favorite? Leave your opinion in the comments!

Style Highlights: Leighton Meester

Leighton Meester star of Gossip Girl and blossoming movie star. She has a unique sense of style that critics either love or hate. This blog post will give you the chance to decide. Do you adore or abhor Leighton's style? Tell me in the comments below!

Leighton Meester in Missoni [left] and in a simple black Versus minidress [right].

Seeing Leighton in this Missoni dress and cardigan made me fall in love with the brand all over again. No lie! She looks comfy and warm and comfortable in her own skin. Sometimes I see her on the red carpet and she looks a little out of place but her she looks stunning! I wouldn't change a thing.

This Versus mini is so adorable. Its structured cut makes it fashion while its monochromatic fabric makes if very main-stream. Leighton's hair looks so healthy and refreshed. And I adore those gemmed heels she's wearing. Have to admit I'm a little jealous.

At first I wasn't convinced with this LV gown. I thought it should've skimmed the floor but now I'm completely obsessed with it! The beading and the ombre effect is stunning. Why did I want to change it in the first place? Plus the shoes are so chic peeking out from under the hem. I love.

Not every woman could pull off a sequined floral minidress, but somehow Leighton can. I love the fuschia lip that compliments the red buds on her dress beautifully. The simple strappy heel was genius and keeps the look from being a bit too costume-y.

Thank you for reading, supporting, and following. I'm so excited for some future events and giveaways that I have planned. Please check back tomorrow and I'll see you then! Don't forget to follow!

How To: Wear Floral for Spring

Spring is upon us! And now, more than ever, is it time to bust out the floral in our wardrobes. But how to look feminine without looking like you were just picked out of you Grandma's garden? It isn't as complicated as it sounds. Trust me.

If flowers seem a bit intimidating, don't force it. Keep it subtle like Keira Knightley who only went for a delicate floral detail on the neckline. The otherwise minimalistic cut of the dress is enhanced my this small, but powerful detail. If you're a little bolder, try a dress with floral accents rather than the entire print. Leighton's dress is cute with the bold flowers that add color and interest to her grey mini. She is ready for spring!

Floral shirts seems like the most practical option to insert a bit of spring into your wardrobe. As shown by Reese and Freida, it works for both casual and more formal events. Plus, floral doesn't mean that it has to be obvious that there is a rose plastered to your chest. Keep the print simple and subtle like these lovely ladies. Flowers are delicate and pretty by nature. Just remember that and you'll be fine.

Styling dresses is a slighter harder obstacle. First option. You could use juxtaposition to maximize the effect. Joy mixed western pieces with her floral dress to make it more fashion and less flower girl. Another option would be to mix floral pieces with leather or edgier accessories to give it a bit more girt--more edge. Or go in the completely opposite direction and be bold. Embrace the floral. Alexis looks stunning in this Stella McCartney piece. Amp the look up with bright, but minimal, accessories and it will be divine.

Chanel in Soho

I know. I know. I'm a week behind. With fashion week happening there is just so much to blog about. It's insane! :) But on Thursday Karl Lagerfeld was present when Chanel re-opened their store in donwtown Soho. It was filled with celebrities dressed to impress the fashion icon himself.

But incase you haven't seen the star-studded crowd that attended here's a quick glance at my faves.

Leighton Meester in classic black. I think she looks so sophisticated and I'm so glad that Gossip Girl is back. Ever since the Pretty Little Liars' summer finale I've been deprived of good high school drama. But since Jenny is the only one still in high school I don't think I can actually classify it as high school drama. But you know what I mean.

Speaking of Gossip Girl here's Blake Lively. She took the printed, colorful route. Quite the opposite from her co-star. But with confidence and stunning features, she continues to look effortless in anything.

Alexa Chung. When I think Alexa I always seem to think Chanel. :) This spunky Brit has an amazing sense of humor and style--which the two aren't always mutally exclusive. Her collaboration with Madwell is now available in stores and online. And from what I've seen its really cute. I might go more indepth on a later post.

Chanel Iman. I'll refrain from making a lame Chanel-Chanel joke. :) I know you must be proud. But her dress is gorgeous. The shimmer is fun and flirty. And that bold, red Chanel bag is the perfect accesory. I think its so cute how she's cradelling the bag for the picture. She definately knows how to sell a product, no wonder why she makes the big bucks. Hahaha. Just kidding.

Rachel Bilson. One of my style icons. She's always so confident and put together. Although I'm not crazy about the white fringe dress--I would never be able to pull this off. I think my friends would just laugh at me and tell me to go change. She pulls it off somehow. I wish the fringe didn't go past the edge of the dress but she still looks good. What are your thoughts? Yay? Nay?

Diane Kruger, Molly Simms, Paula Patton, and tons of other stars were in attendance. But I didn't want to make this too long. Especially since I think most people have seen these pictures. I blogged about them anyway because I just love Chanel. There was no way I wasn't going to blog about it. :)

$75 Target gift card giveaway ends soon-ish! Go check it out! :D

"We'll always have Paris"

Today is Monday and that means school [yuck] but it also means the season premiere of Gossip Girl! :) Yay. There was so much drama last season. Here's a mini spoiler alert if you haven't seen the last seasons finale. But with Dan's baby with Georgina and Chuck sleeping with Jenny.

I'm really sad about Chuck and Blair breaking up. They were so cute together--in a manipulative and kind of evil way. But they just completed each other. Sigh. I hope they get back together but I hate that Chuck slept with Jenny.

Ugh. I don't know why but Jenny just kind of annoys me. I don't like her story lines. They're kind of boring and she's a little bit of a brat. But maybe she's just going through a phase like Serena when she was with that married guy.

Adultary is NOT cool. Just for the record. Okay, spoiler alert isn't over. But its a sneak peak from the opening episode. Its a sample of what everyone--or rather just Blair and Serena with a dash of Chuck at the end--will be wearing tonight.

Also, I found this really cool interview with Eric Damon who is the costume designer for Gossip Girl on Instyle.com. Find out his inspiration behind everyone's style and how some of the character's style will evolve in the coming season. And also what trend does Damon think is "sooooo overdone".

What has B so upset?

There's nothing like a bit of retail therapy to make a girl smile.

Love the shimmer and shine!

Who's that cutie with S? Will he make her forget about all those boys from her past?

C is looking good. Much better than his usual suit and bow tie.

What do you think of Gossip Girl in the city of lights? Oh, don't forget to enter my giveaway. You could win a $75 Target giftcard.

Enough About Eve

Blair (a.k.a. Leighton Meester) looks stunning in this look. This is a shot from the episode, Enough About Eve. Its the one where Blair really wants to deliver the freshmen toast and NYU. It was a good one. I haven't seen the most recent episodes lately though.

The yellow and the green color seem like they're going to clash but when they're put together they actually go quite nicely. This reminds me how the other day I had to explain to my dad that their was a difference between matching and going together. He still does quite understand. :)

Back to the topic at hand. Is that not the cutest lunchbox you've ever seen? Sigh. Its amazing. I was looking at the Paige Gmable website and she has a ton of other super cute lunchboxes. All of them equally adorable. :) Okay, here's how you can get Blair's look.

Grace Sun Zipper Front Sheath Dress.

I cannot put into words how much I adore this dress. :) Its just so cute. The color is stunning and the zipper detailing gives it an edge. I like it when clothing items just have random zipper details on them. It can make a super feminine garmet a bit tougher, you know? Maybe its just me. :) So chic.

Did anyone see the newest epsiode of Glee? That show is so funny. Does anyone remember the Single Ladies dance? Hilarious! I laughed so hard. :) Stomach is grumbling I think its time to eat. Got to go.
