Interesting Finds

Funky Footwear: Ashely Olsen in Louis Vuitton shoes at the 37th Annual Chaplin Award Gala in New York

Ashley Olsen took high heels to the next level in these Louis Vuitton high heels. These shoes look interesting enough on the catwalk, but I love seeing it out in broad daylight skipping down actual sidewalks. Unique...


Mary-Had-A-Little-Lamb: Olivia Palermo in Mulberry

Olivia Palermo in a Mulberry frock, studded pumps also by Mulberry, Topshop owl ring, and an Ann Taylor skinny woven belt (note: I love how the socialite still makes affordable purchases at Ann Taylor and Topshop -- one of her frequent shopping stops). Initially I was not so sure about the bottom half of the dress... honestly, I had a dash of inhibition. I could not figure out whether or not it was made of sheep wool or tulle. However, I am biased in terms of Olivia's always impeccable taste. The concept of the dress was a little clearer after I saw it on the Mulberry runway...
... for once, the black mixed with the neutral set on Olivia did not serve as neither beneficial nor edgy. The catwalk version with the nude booties, matching textured clutch, and high-fashion edgy up do' added a classy edge. The nude booties helped elongate rather than widen the model due to the "fluffy" effect of the skirt. Olivia's woven belt "bundles" up her waistline and cuts her height at the waistline -- giving her look a shortening effect. 

The runway version on the other hand retains the femininity while adding a little rock n' roll with her teased do'.

On the Radar: Emma Roberts


Aside from her famous last name, many would recognize those infamous eyes and lips as genetic features luckily inherited by a certain Pretty Woman, she so fortunately refers to as"Auntie Julia". Yes, the closest we could get to Julia Roberts was by reenacting (and quite embarrassingly -- might I add) her famous scene in the bathtub crooning her heart out to Prince's "Kiss". While we were trying to feel out the shoes of Mrs. Roberts through our embarrassing act, little Emma was probably spending her Sunday mornings watching Smurfs in her aunt's living room. Jealous much?

Although she hasn't inherited her legendary aunt's acting chops, she has saved her spot on the style radar. The 19-year-old young actress has been taking the fashion circuit for a spin, outshining young Hollywood has-beens such as the likes of Lindsey Lohan, Mischa Barton, and all the other beautiful disasters that fell off the bandwagon. 

Unlike the bundle of "wasted youth", Emma sets a new bar for up-and-coming Hollywood starlets with poise, elegance, and did I mention ... an impeccable understanding of designer clothing?

Did I mention she's been spotted with my favorite fashion icon of the moment, socialite Olivia Palermo? It's no wonder I adore them both.
