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!

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!

Kate Bosworth's Street Style

Blue Crush is the movie that made me want to learn to surf. The surfing thing never worked out but my friend's mother loves this movie. She is all about female impowerment and strength. Random. But its the first thing that popped into my head. JSYK. This is the second post  I've written today. Going a bit on a blogging spree. I've really fallen in love with Kate's style. What do you think?

Kate is casual in a graphic tee, jeans, and a Mulberry bag. She mixes the neutrals together to create deminsion and depth to her outfit. The leopard goes with both the dark-wash color of her jeans and the bold print on her tee. She pairs her outfit with simple black pumps--a great way to elongate the body and fix posture.

This is how to wear light-wash jeans. If done wrong, light-wash jeans can look a little tacky but Kate makes them fashion with her boho styling and loose fit. Tight light-wash jeans look horrible! They make your thighs look wider. They're just not good. But with her loose fit top, strappy sandals, and simple jewelery make it work. [accidental Tim Gunn quote]

I don't know why pastels aren't as popular as they should be. Pastels are great on most skin-tones and its not just for Easter. The simple cut is great asset to Kate's boho closet. Her pale Chloe sunglasses and Marant booties take the look up a notch.

Kate proves that neutrals pack a huge impact. The sheer fabric is expertly draped across her body. The simple cut-out adds a bit of sexiness without showing any skin. Kate put her hair in a tight bun and she chose delicate shoes as to not distract from the expertise craftsmanship that went into constructing the beautiful dress. Her rose colored lips are pure perfection.
