In ♥ With This: Camilla Belle in Silver Victoria Beckham Dress

Camilla Belle attends the Coach Benefit wearing a silver Victoria Beckham dress on April 20th
It's only fitting that around the first anniversary of the "In ♥ With This" section that I would [unknowingly] pick the same gal! (Here's the first post) Saw this picture and I just had to share with you readers! Camilla Belle looked stunning wearing a silver sequined Victoria Beckham dress. Plus when photographed the top part of the two tone dress isn't as dark as it is on the Net-A-Porter site. She paired it with Sergio Rossi Cachet pumps and the Coach Kristin Elevated Crossbody bag. Girl looks amaze! Although she's been labeled an "actress" I really only know her for three reasons. 1) She was Joe Jonas' girlfriend. 2) She was in that move When A Stranger Calls and 3) She kills it on the red carpet all the time. What do you think? Do you love this look as much as me?! Happy Friday Loveys!!!!

Poll: Battle of the Celebrity Cookbook Fashions: Eva Longoria vs Gwyneth Paltrow

Eva Longoria signs copy of her cookbook Eva's Kitchen at Borders in NYC Gwyneth Paltrow Signs Copies of My Father's Daughter Cookbook at Barnes & Noble in NYC

Both of these stars have been running all over the U.S. plugging their new cookbooks Eva's Kitchen and My Father's Daughter. I've been really excited to test out recipes from each collection (My famous Sangria is actually an Eva Longoria recipe and it's TDF... let me know if you want it!) but I was more excited when I noticed that each star was upping the "Promotional Appearance Outfit" practically daily! Which is why I am dying to ask you fellow readers... Who had the better style?!

Eva turned to her good friend Victoria Beckham for impeccable dressing during her cookbook press tour. While taping The Early Show on April 4th, Eva wore the Cap Sleeve Tunic in cadillac pink from the Spring 2011 collection. After fashionistas swooned over this design it sold out within 24 hours of her wearing it. Eva paired it with blush colored satin pumps from Brian Atwood and a gorgeous hairstyle. Next she showed up on The View on April 5th in this 3/4 sleeve shift dress. Although I can't find a full length picture you can watch more of her interview here. LOVE this tangerine color.. it's so fab! Lastly Eva wore another Victoria Beckham Spring 2011 dress in a gorgeous nude color. Her one shoulder draped dress is fresh and classy. Nude Ferragamo pumps and bright jade earrings help punch this outfit up. Eva's recipe for fashion: Sleek silhouettes, pops of color and gorgeous curls. Love!

Gwyneth is my new go-to girl crush. I know that she's always been a beautiful woman and I first became obsessed with her during her Sliding Doors/A Perfect Murder days (I wanted to chop my hair just like hers! So lovely!) But as of late she's really been on my fashion radar. She takes this whole minimalist approach to her wardrobe seriously and while I am all over the place with a love of sequins and sparkle, I really can appreciate the clean lines and effortlessness she gives off. My first fav look she's sported so far is from her BFF Stella McCartney. Gwyn wore her friend's white shift dress to an event on April 11 celebrating the release of the cook book. It looks really sleek and modern and the color pops against her glowing skin. I've also literally been dreaming about those Sergio Rossi cutout booties. I mustfind a look for less because they are beyond amazing. Next up she hit NYC for a Good Morning America taping wearing both a blush tone dress and blazer by Alexander Wang. Shoes were once again Sergio Rossi. I like the asymmetrical hem of the dress. So simple and elegant! Lastly she wore a fabulous Spring 2011 dress from Vionnet with an adorable bow belt to a Williams Sonoma book signing. Her legs are killer in it and I am dying over those colored sandals from Aperlai (thought I haven't been able to find them at any store!) A fresh face, easy hair and clean lines are ingredients for Gwyneth's fantastic look.

Now it's time for you to tell me which star's style you love the best! Vote in my poll below and leave me a comment if you'd love to see a look for less done from any of the above! (Remember Carrie Underwood's look for less that you guys loved?!) Hey! It's almost Friday! :)

☮ ♥ and Coachella 2011 - The Fashion

Happy Tuesday Loveys! I was recovering from my fabulous weekend in Palm Springs and wishing that I was still there. It was a HOT weekend filled with lots of margaritas, poolside play and relaxation. Our amazing hosts Dana & Steve really showed us how to do PS right! While we were running around (or biking I should say) the desert we noticed that the town was filled with Coachella concert go-ers. I felt like we stepped onto a show called "Who can look the most hipster/downtown/hippie chic?" Of course I loved seeing the street style "regular" gals wore but let's dive into a little celebrity style shall we?

These two were also a part of my favs from last year's Coachella picks. Both celebs kept their style easy, breezy and super laid back. Alessandra paired her cute neutral Rebecca Taylor dress with this fabulous Tolani Chakra scarf. This look is so easy to emulate! Find the brightest scarf you have, pile on some bracelets, add a pair of vintage boots and you're set! Kate Bosworth wore three looks like last year that I loved (especially her headwear!) So this year I was excited to see what she would wear! Kate is never one to shy away from a deal and her $45 Topshop Flag Shirt doesn't even need a look for less! Ms. Bosworth is also a huge fan of Isabel Marant footwear (among many of the designers pieces) She sported ankle booties at 2010 Coachella but I kind of love these lace up boots she's wearing. Looks like she also incorporated her Ray Ban aviators from last year's festival into her concert wardrobe. And of course she paired her look with... what else? JewelMint Jewelry from her own [affordable!] collection!

These looks are two of my favorite ways to dress. Isabel looks like she stepped straight out of Woodstock. One would think that pairing a ombre colored maxi skirt and crochet vest together might be overkill or Granny-fied. But she somehow manages to keep it fun and fresh. Love the headwear and her cross body bag. I am totally sold on this outfit. Camilla attended the Mulberry pool party at The Parker Hotel (I ate brunch there on Sunday. Ah-mazing) Her Mulberry Kilty blouse and light wash denim shorts surprisingly go together well. I love the bright pop of color with the sandals and the sunglasses. Try this pair for some tangerine footwear like hers. Either of these looks can be worn by you for some weekend shopping or just a relaxing day vegging out with friends.

I've become newly acquainted with Harley Viera Newton but so far I love what I see. She wears a lot of hats (model, DJ, photographer) but was labeled as an "Internet It Girl" based on her famous friendships and her MySpace page. In the first photo she was seen attending Mulberry's pool party wearing a lace dress from Juicy Couture (a kind of dressed down version of this Diane Kruger Look) along with Juicy sunglasses and a Celine Nano Mini Luggage handbag. Simple outfit with a major outcome - perfection. Next Harley wore Juicy Couture's Trellis Beaded Top (Currently on sale!) with a trusty pair of denim cutoffs (something every girl should own!!) Harley proved that basic staples (Juicy none the less!) and rotation of accessories (handbag, sunglasses and shoes) is the best way to travel. Love it all!
Are you in need of some summer wardrobe ideas? Just take a cue from these stylish ladies and you'll not only be looking fab but staying cool as well! I'll leave you lastly with a pic that sums up my amazing weekend in Palm Springs! xoxo!

Le Sigh.... so perfect!
