Steal Her Look For Less: Celebrities in Gucci Spring/Summer 2011

Clockwise from top left: Olivia Wilde, Kerry Washington, Camilla Belle & Jennifer Lopez - Fans of Gucci

I've been obsessing over the fact that COLOR! is so major right now! Based on the runways of Jil Sander, Versace, Jason Wu, Proenza Schouler, DKNY and so many more, it was a known fact that your wardrobe must be bright! And while sometimes color can be a little scary for those who stick to a neutral pallete, I think it's a great way to spruce up your look. This season's Gucci collection has been all about the color. Rich jewel tones with splashes of Gold make up the base while cut-outs and plunging necklines are just a few of the added details that make the S/S pieces so special. Plus I've noticed TONS of celebrities wearing the line over the past few months. Olivia Wilde and Camilla Belle are just a few...

Jennifer Lawrence [looking AMAZING] and Katy Perry wear Gucci on magazine covers

And as of two weeks ago, Gucci S/S 2011 clothing has actually been featured on over 50 magazine covers [not to mention all the editorials I've seen too]. Pretty fabulous! I was totally inspired by this collection [take a look at the print campaign here and the runway show here] and determined to find some looks for less to add into my closet. I found that one store was delivering big time with this trend: Zara. I had been hunting everywhere for a Pink Maxi skirt that could match a look I saw at S/S 2011 Jil Sander runway show and Ashley texted me with a find! $60 bucks at Zara! (Hey that beats the 985 price tag!) So I rushed over to the Santa Monica Promenade location. The minute I walked into the store it was as if the rainbow exploded all over the place - in the best possible way. Oranges, Pinks, Greens and Blues were everywhere and in basic pieces like blazers, pants, mini skirts. I was in color heaven! I've always liked Zara but after all the pieces I fell in love with now I am obsessed! I want to share my finds with you dear readers but unfortunately for us, Zara doesn't have a U.S. online shopping site. However you can click on each piece below and be directed to the right place on the site to find what you're looking for. There you can find the colors and sizes that each one comes in and stalk your nearest Zara.

Plus I think there are so many more options than this actually in the store - you've just got to search for them! (That blue dress is so gorgeous and comes in Green, Pink, Yellow and White! Perfect for an outdoor wedding!) If you scoop anything up - let me know what you find.. I promise that you will not be disappointed!! :)

Red Carpet Fashion: Golden Globes 2011

Ok.. Ok.. OK! I know this post is extremely late - I am sorry! Blogging has been on my mind lately - I just haven't had the time to put anything down yet! I guess it's better late than never right ;) So some of you emailed me dying to know my picks for my favorite dresses from Sunday's Golden Globes. I was honestly a little hesitant after every celebrity showed up in a disastrous outfit at last week's People's Choice Awards. I couldn't even pick one look to post about. Zero!!  Last year the Globes brought out great fashion and the show was hilarious! This year - Ricky Gervais took a few below the belt hits and the tone wasn't quite as light. But, thankfully,the fashion was still pretty damn good... So let's check out my picks! :)

Red Carpet Fashion: Golden Globes 2010

Were the rest of you in stitches after last night's Golden Globes? Ricky Gervais had me laughing so hard with his British dry sense of humor. There were also sweet moments like Meryl Streep's acceptance speech and Martin Scorsese receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Award. And of course - it was a night of fashion! So let's get started with my favs from last night. And boy was there a lot to choose from! (remember - these are just my meek and mild choices of personal favorites and have no merit except for my ♥ for fashion)

Well this is a no brainer! Emily Blunt is absolutely radiant in her pink ruffled tulle Dolce & Gabbana gown. It was so nice to see splashes of color throughout the carpet and this is a top pick! She paired her gown with Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Ferragamo clutch. By the way did I mention that I LOVE the ruffles and tulle?? She looks absolutely fantastic and I am sure we will see this as a Best Dressed pick everywhere. (Plus she's wearing the same mid length curly locks we spotted a few weeks ago at the People's Choice Awards)

 

Vogue's September issue told us that Red would be the new color (see the amazing Red Riding Hood editorial here and Cameron Diaz seems to pull it off effortlessly. Her scarlet satin Alexander McQueen dress plays up the 80's big shoulder trend and the minimal draping in the front is perfect. Ferragamo pumps and bright red lips are easily the best accessories and keep Cameron's look simple and elegant. Very chic.

Whoa Mamma! Jennifer Garner shows off her post baby bod and looks absolutely fabulous in her beaded Atelier Versace gown. The back of the dress is absolute OOC - I am obsessed with it and still currently searching for a picture. Jen called it an "Aquanet kind of day" and her teased half up half down hair pairs nicely and keeps her from seeming too "overdone". A dust of burgundy eye shadow, coral lips and Bulgari diamonds (that gorgeous bracelet is vintage - ah dying!) round out her look. What a stunner!!

What? You think I'd go through a red carpet without picking something sparkly??? I think not! Toni Collette shimmers in this long Elie Saab glittered gown. Toni really kept everything in the Gold color hue (golden dress, golden skin, golden makeup, and that hair is an amazing color) which went nicely with her win for Best Actress in a TV Series. Jewelry by Neil Lane finalized this look. While this choice may seem safe or done before - I'm totally loving it. The gown fits her body to a T and she looks really radiant. Plus I really am a sucker for bedazzled anything.

While I couldn't choose every look I loved - here are a few of my honorable mentions. :)

Dianna Agron, who plays cheerleader-turned-glee member Gwen, had a safe but beautiful champagne Reem Acra. Love the bodice!

Diane Kruger's Christian Lacroix is a fuchsia avant-garde at its finest. Never one to shy away from a fashion risk this frock seems to fit well for Diane. It's textured and the white bow is a stark contrast that gives it that couture feel.

Olivia Wilde, who was the epitome of girly last year in this lilac Reem Acra gown, decided to go more edgy this year proving she can rock either look. Smokey eyes and a sassy ponytail add to her absolutely gorgeous look. This gunmetal Gucci gown looks as if it was made specifically for her body. But one lucky person can own this dress as Olivia has offered it up for auction with the proceeds going towards the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Find out more information here.

And this is only the beginning! We've got the The Screen Actor's Guild awards and the Grammys coming up this month! Can't wait to see what else 2010 has in store fashion wise! Happy Monday! xoxo
