Tom Ford Opens New Store in L.A.

If you live in the Los Angeles area, you are lucky. Tom Ford just opened his first store in the area on the famed Rodeo Drive. The beautiful two story building has 23 story ceilings and is 9,200 square feet. Lovely ladies, such as Rachel Zoe, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Amber Valleta, came out to support Mr. Ford on his special night. Which look is your favorite? Leave thoughts in the comments!

Zoe Saldana Shines in Grey

Zoe Saldana loves grey. Or at least it seems that way from how often she wears it. But you can't exactly blame the girl because she it looks great on her. Zoe is a true American style icon. Is there ever a time when she doesn't look utterly fabulous? [the answer to that is no].

And she's not just a fashionista, she's a serious actress. Avatar. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl. Drumline. Star Trek.

These looks are polar opposites. One is short, flirty, and light. While the other is long, sophisticated, and structured. But even though they're opposites, Zoe still pulls of each outfit with confidence. She is not a one trick pony. It seems like her bag of tricks is never ending and I'm always impressed. That mermaid gown is a true red carpet moment. Adore.

Both the Calvin and Leger look are body-skimming but Zoe looks gorgeous in both. One is minimalistic and the other is very intricate and technique-driven. Herve Leger is known for their ground-breaking wrap dresses and Zoe's look is a twist on a classic wrap. But what I really love are those shoes in her Calvin look. Their geometric and sculptural. That is art. [sounds corny. i know. i know.] I want them. :) Sigh. If only...

Today's post was really short. Sorry. I'm off to babysit. :)

Carey Mulligan Sparkles

Carey Mulligan was nomited for an Academy Award for her role in An Education last year. This year she starred alongside Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield drama, Never Let Me Go.

Trivia Question: Who did Carey Mulligan play in the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice? If you know this--without using the Internet--I will be very impressed.

Carey Mulligan is dressed in a mustard chiffon dress [left] and vintage Prada [right].

I have to admit that I prefer Carey's hair with a slight wave to her short hair. It adds texture and demension. I also perfer her with that carefree smile on her face. It doesn't appear forced but like a moment of pure happiness. She has a great style. But on another note that pleated mustard dress is to die for. It hits her at the right spot on the knee and skims her body.

Then that Prada dress is structured and the perfect summer dress. The print is nostalgic. The color from the print seems to almost match her lip color perfectly. The fitted belt draws in her waist and the nude shoes give the illusion that she is taller. Very impresed. :)

When I first noticed Carey, I was quickly impressed with her super-chic British style. I'm in love with British style--its just so different from American fashion. Both of these looks are rather sub-dued but the punch comes for the details rather than the bold color. The Mouret garmet fits her body like a glove and the proportions are perfection. She appears confident and professional. Those Fendi cut-out shoes balance the geometic inspiration from the garment.

Then there is the Elie Saab piece. Elie Saab is known for elegance and femininity. The sheer skirt almost appears like fringe. Or is it? I can't tell. Carey paired the look with simple black pumps, in an effort not to draw any attention from the delicate bodice--its lace is both sexy and classy at the same time.

I really want to see Never Let Me Go. What did you think of Carey's style? If you want more Viva la Fashion become a fan on Facebook for up to the minute updates. You will get updates whenever a new post is published. Talk to you guys soon! :D
