This is 'Star Style'

Alexa Chung is Stunning Bold

This Bold Mini is poised to become a really cool trend. It’s powerful, but still adorably chic. I actually found this photo of Alexa Chung wearing this fresh cool outfit a few months ago and I kept thinking of something  for showing it to you.  This season we’ve got these amazingly bold colors that go perfectly with graphic tees. You can try to match a full Bright Blue Mini Skirt ( Miss Selfridge ) with a chic urban style Motorcycle Burnout Tee (Delia’s) and a smart blazer. Even if you are headed for work or drinks this outfit will prove to be a really chic and modern option.

 Alexa Chung matches some retro casual shoes  with a brown leather bag (Topshop), but you dress up this outfit if you want with a Clover Chain Necklace (Forever 21) and some sexy shoes  (Daanger - Steve Madden) .

Disney and Mickey Mouse Trend

I’m sure you all noticed the mouse ears headbands and cartoon prints until this season but the summer 2009 will be the peak for this trend. I really like it, it’s easy to wear actually! It makes me feel younger and sillier :) Lady GaGA gets the look by wearing a really cool hair bow style but you shouldn’t try too much, just get and oversived bow headband instead.

You can wear Mickey Mouse Tees for a casual attire and match it with flats or even high heels if you are going out for drinks with some friends. I’ve spotted a picture of Rihanna (see the picture here) and she was wearing a skinny grey Mickey Mouse T- shirt with skinny dark jeans and heels and she looked really cool.

How to get the look :

  • big Disney character pattern on a tee or a hoodie (anything works! Just spotted Agyness Dean with a Bambi Tee :)) Other cartoon figures also do the work : bunny, mice, squirrels )
  • bow headbands
  • dots
  • pussy bow tops and oversized bows on dresses and tops like the Aristocats characters
  • bangs
  • colored sunglasses

I’m Loving : Confessions of a Shopaholic

Oh yes, the day to laugh about our passionate madness has come!  The day when all fashionistas will seem rather innocent compared to one big spender :)).

Sophie Kinsella’s book “Confessions of a Shopaholic” will hit the cinemas soon and hopefully it will be a big hit because there are more books and possible sequels to the story. I’ve read the story and laughed a great deal! I fell in love with Rebecca Bloomwood - played by Isla Fisher in the movie - the moment she hid her bank letters into some drawers like they never existed.

The style of the character is “mix and match”, let’s not forget that she  is a sales-hunter and an impulsive shopper, that’s why, Rebecca Blomwood’s sense on style is excentric and somehow extreme.

Isla Fisher wears lots of neons and bright bold colors and apparently all together!  The cinched waist trend is a big hit in the movie together with leather gloves, plaid patterns, fucshia shoes and short furs, as Kinsella’s character is the ultimate trendsetter.

Privileged Tv Series - Megan’s outfits

JoAnna Garcia plays the lovely Megan Smith in Privileged Tv series. Stylistically speaking she is not very complex but she has that sort of casual chic style that can bring up her personality. What I really noticed about her outfits was that the main focus is set on jeans and cardigans. I’ve watched carefully and I think she has cardigans in every colour!!

The jeans are usually dark and skinny but you can adapt them to your personal style. If you hate skinnies or you’re tired of them your can always go for flared ones. These are from Pacsun.com.

The cardigan can be embellished or simple and usually Megan wears them unbuttoned. Pick a longer one if you like the ruffled cardigan trend. This one is actually soldout on Forever21 but I found a new sequined cardigan.

Ballet flats are summer’s hot list items. Bold colors are really cool this season so what are you waiting for and wear your navy or pink flats. These are H&M but there are lots of flats out there that can work just try to keep them one color.

The bag is more of a functional thing for Megan so try to add something that highlights your outfit. I loved Karen Millen’s Tropical Bag because it’s perfect for this season and has the perfect mix of fabrics.

Jewelry is not so important for Megan but I noticed that she has a very simple and soft feather necklace. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to fing something similar but you can try anything vintage with a little charm pendant.

The skirtmust be high-waisted and you can choose from different trendy patterns of the season (florals, water collors) mixed with a tight tank. I’ve seen Megan with different color tanks (white, black, pink) and I can say that the simple top really gives her a comfy and sexy look.

The cardigan is a statement piece for the Privileged star so get comfy and romantic with this Shrug Knit.

The accessories complete the casual look so you can choose some leather strap detail flats that can be found at Boden or some beige sunglasses. I just loved the color of this leather tote and the fact that it kinda matches everything! You can wear a small bracelet or a watch, this one is from Gwen Stefani’s collection and it’s called The Sweet Escape.

Privileged TV Series Style Outfits

I recently came across CWtv’s hot series Privileged and I absolutely loved it! I find myself laughing and living every second of it. But besides the story and the drama, the style of the characters is amazing. Rose and Sage Baker played by Lucy Hale and Ashley Newbrough are the perfect fashionistas, so glamorous even when going to school. Joanna Garcia plays the role of Megan Smith and manages to enchant us with her  casual chic outfits and especially with her tutor-girl attitude.

The show is not as focussed on socialite life as Gossip Girl and has more of an L.A. relaxed apraoch on lifestyle and fashion. But still, I love the clothes and all the outfits are amazing!

Rose wears neons and metallics almost every time. She has a playful personality and she can usually pull off short tops or really short skirts. To get her look choose a strapless dress and some shinny heels. Accessories are really a big deal and be sure to wear a glamorous headband and maybe lots of jewelry.

Sage Baker brings a more tense style to Privileged. Although, she still rocks a spoiled rich girl look, Sage is more confident and diva like so she ditches heavy accessories and usually chooses a few statement pieces. If you like her look, choose bold colored stilettos and exatravagant headbands. I’ve seen her dressed in skinny jeans and cropped preppy blazers and they both work great.

Don’t miss Megan’s outfits, tomorow!

Blake Lively’s Tuxedo in Vogue

I was very impressed to see how they changed Gossip Girl gorgeous Blake Lively in this month’s cover of Vogue.  Many people were not happy about this but I think we should give Blake some credit.

She looks so … powerful!! I think that men-destined outfits tend to make you feel like that. The tuxedo is one of Blake’s favourite pieces, it gives the preppy look a new thing and it follows the line of her body. McQ’s tuxedo style jumpsuit from N-A-P brings out the vintage glam look  in a tuxedo outfit. It’s sexy, but still very poweful. The Open Front Blazer from F21 looks exacly like an Upper East Side must have. 

I think that these are 2 trends to last in S/S 2009

Golden Globes Dress Trends

The dresses at the Golden Globes Ceremony were rather recession-oriented if I could say.  Forget the grandeur and the colorful experiences.  Dark colors prevailed and obviously the classic black and white dresses.  I liked that there was a lot of vintage and especially vintage jewelry.  The white dresses were amazingly rich with a lot of ruffles, bows and drapping.  The strapless dress was a big hit and so were the one-shoulder dresses. Kate Bekinsale wore an amazing  J. Mendel dress while Eva Mendes, Sandra Bullock and Demi Moore were covered temptingly in Christian Dior.   

And there were some outfits that were just perfect. Hayden Panettiere shined in Gianfranco Ferré with Fred Leighton jewels and a Ferragamo clutch. I would say dark and intense compared to Miley Cyrus, in a strapless Marchesa dress who looks like a princess. 

Marisa Tomei however was my biggest surprise. The Oscar de la Renta ouftit is simply stunning. The simple skirt and bohemian shirt with ruffled sleeves are a perfect match. Well done!

What would you wear if you had to walk the Red Carpet?


Vanessa Hudgens style-inspired outfits

I love Vanessa Hudgens!! Well not her role in HSM, (she looks too innocent) but her style and her looks :) I like her because she has a really unique way of wearing clothes, a rather younger  version of Rachel Bilson.

If you want to get het look you have to pay a really good attention to details. Accessories make the difference and the hairstyle gives you another 30%. For extra points you should consider a sexy LBD, high heels and a great tan. :)

For more relaxed ocasions, miss HSM  chooses comfortable outfits that define her age but also the trends. This fall she mixed the blazer and the boyfriend cardigan with skinny cuffed jeans and statement necklaces.

When the weather gets cold Vanessa Hudgens warms it with a pair of opaque leggings and a nice coat . The floral dress is really nice and it goes perfecly with the suede flats. If it’s colder where you live you can always skip the ballet flats and replace them with a cool pair of flat boots.
