Look Of The Day: Taylor Schilling in Calvin Klein

Actress Taylor Schilling at The Lucky One L.A. Premiere

While searching for some celebrity inspiration, I spotted this stunning lady and her gorgeous dress. At first glance I thought it was model Amber Valleta, but upon closer inspection I saw this gorgeous blonde gal's name is Taylor Schilling. Tall, tan, beautiful - oh, and she's Zac Efron's co-star in the newest Nicholas Sparks' book-turned-movie, The Lucky One. A quick search on Wikipedia and IMDB proves that this movie will be her first major role. I'm putting it out there and predicting she's going to be the next "It" girl.

Sticking to the latest minimal trend, she shined in a body hugging Calvin Klein Collection gown with metallic trim. Adore, adore, adore this look! Sleek, clean and absolutely beautiful. Love the fresh faced makeup and easy updo. She polished off her look with a shining futuristic cuff and silver bag. Sometimes, simplicity really goes a long way. We're almost to the weekend! xoxo

Look Of The Day: Elizabeth Banks in Canary Yellow Bill Blass

It's official my friends! Canary Yellow is the new color of the season! I've been spotting it everywhere and trying to figure out how I can incorporate it into my own wardrobe. So imagine my delight when I came across a serious gush-worthy look that's pure inspiration for a glamorous yellow ensemble (did you ever think you'd hear those words?) Elizabeth Banks, who stars in the new Twilight Hunger Games series showed up to the London premiere looking like a ray of sunshine - literally. Her glittering canary Bill Blass column gown brought a shining burst of color to the movie premiere's red carpet. I'm sure all eyes were on her, this dress and all it's sequined glory. And the back... I mean, seriously! You know how much I obsess over a good open back dress! So lovely. I wish I had that dress hanging in my tiny closet or better yet on my body right now! Additionally, I adore the quirky yellow Judith Leiber clutch she chose to pair it with. A soft tousled updo and some sparkling Irene Neuwirth earrings top it all off. E Banks - you are PERFECTION! Happy Friday my loves!!

Look Of The Day: Rooney Mara in Louis Vuitton

Rooney Mara wears Louis Vuitton in Paris

Everyone can't stop talking about the new American remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Personally, I can't stop admiring Rooney Mara's fashion statements. She's really impressed me by pulling out all the stops for her latest red carpet apperances. So far she's donned Prabal Gurung for NYC and Givenchy for London. But yesterday's Paris premiere was my favorite choice yet. Rooney paired a shimmering jet black mini from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 line with strappy black sandals and bright red lips. The silouhette of the frock is perfect and I adore the mesh overlay with beaded details. Also with her new black hair and baby bangs, Rooney is a total modern day Audrey Hepburn. What do you think of this LBD? Happy Wednesday! xoxo

Hope you enjoy the Tuesday eye candy!

SJP Recycles... And I love it!!

Well ladies... The hour is upon us!! The long awaited Sex & The City 2 premieres tonight at midnight! I would 100% be going tonight but my two girlfriends and I have made a pact to see it together and we could only get together next weekend. So while I wait 10 long days (and I do mean looooong days) I thought I would showcase Sarah Jessica Parker acting like a normal everyday woman who recycles certain clothes and also taking some style cues from her alter ego Carrie Bradshaw.

SJP rocked this white Stella McCartney Blazer while stopping by David Letterman on Wednesday. I did a double take after seeing this and ran back to find the first time we spotted her jacket: A Bravo party back in March! I love that she has used it to cover her dresses. The proportions are spot on and I love the sleeves on the blazer. Both dresses have style and flair so add some chunky jewelry and she's turned a menswear look into feminine chic. Then I thought I recognized those blue Nicholas Kirkwood sandals...

And I had! Sarah Jessica channeled Carrie B a few weeks ago when doing an interview with Access Hollywood. Her Proenza Schouler dress and black shirt pair perfectly with her blazer. It's as if she matched everything while mixing it up at same time (If that makes any sense). Plus she tied in the pink blazer with the pink trim in the sandals. SJP also showed up at a SATC2 after party with lightened locks - homage to Ms. Bradshaw perhaps? I love that the Nicholas Kirkwood pumps bright up her whole outfit and just pop. Ahem. Sarah Jessica has said that playing such a style risk taker like Carrie has allowed her to become much bolder with her fashion choices. Personally I love both of these looks. And I love that she isn't afraid to pair her bright and colorful shoes with many outfits. Perfect inspiration for us normal gals!

Early this winter you couldn't spot the actress without her bubblegum pink Bonnie Bag from Diane De Maria. The bright color cheered up even the dreariest of NYC days. And she proved it can be paired with jeans, dresses and even black snow boots! So fabulous.

Although these aren't the same dress I would still consider this style recycling. Bright yellow one shoulder dresses with neutral shoes. Yellow is quite a hard color to pull off - especially when it's as embellished or electric as these choices. But she looks flawless and stunning. Her sparkly Lanvin is incredible and Sarah Jessica was the center of attention while she attended this year's ShoWest in Las Vegas. I hate black shoes with yellow so I love the pink and metallic pumps. At the SATC2 New York premiere she paired her gorgeous Valentino gown with deep silver Ferragamo pumps. I am loving that her hair is blonde again creating this whole glow about her. Now if I could just figure out how to get those perfect curls...
