Black Swan Ensembles

Finals Week at SMU=Lack of blogging sadly, but I'm home for Christmas break and I have been DYING to see this movie Black Swan! Black Swan is not only supposed to be amazing for Natalie Portman's Oscar-worthy performance, but also because of the fabulous ballet ensembles that designers, Kate and Laura Mulleavy (below) of Rodarte created! I will be seeing this movie mainly for the ballet designs, but also, to see the drama that the actors displayed in this movie! Here is the signature design of the ballet tutu Natalie wears! Go see the movie if you haven't yet, and also, be warned, this isn't the Nutcracker type movie, much darker!

Style Icon of the Day

Karlie Kloss is the repetitive name I see in fashion magazines, blogs, and fashion videos. She is the reigning "IT" model-and only 18-this supermodel has modeled for the top fashion houses in the business including Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, and Karl Lagerfeld. But, it is not her success that completely inspires me, it is her humbleness through it all, as well as her healthy lifestyle-not falling into drugs and disorders, but maintaining a happy, normal lifestyle-while rocking the runways of the greats in fashion!

Karlie featured in Teen Vogue-a SuperROLEmodel!

Style Icons of the Day

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen! This stylish duo are style icons because they don't dress by everyone else's rules, but by their own. They wear what they want to, and don't care what people say, and that is what style is: Wearing what YOU want to wear, and ROCKING it! This chic pair also has three fashion lines that you should check out if you haven't already: The Row, Elizabeth and James, and Olsenboye! They are great designers and inspirational fashion icons to look up to!

Style Icon of the Day

My style icon of the day is Jane Birkin. Infamous British actress and the infamous "IT" bag, the Hermes Birkin is named after her. Also, Jane's daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg just debuted an album last October, with the hit song "Trick Pony".

Style Icon of the Weekend

This style icon is very personal to me. She is a major influence in my life, and the reason that I began to love this enchanting world of fashion. Her name is Jackie O., first lady and leader of fashion in the 60's. And my motto is WWJD (What Would Jackie Do) because she is classy, stylish, and a HUGE role model in my life!

Style Icon of the Day

Georgia May Jagger is my style icon of the day. She is daughter of infamous Mick Jagger and is now the muse of Karl Lagerfeld. She resembles Bridgette Bardot and rocked the Chanel Resort 2011 Runway! Here are photos of her from the runway and from the new Chanel ad.

Style Icon of the Day

School has been taking over everyone's lives here at SMU, esp. with finals coming up. But, I want to stop and admire this style icon, Edie Sedgewick. If you haven't seen "Factory Girl" go now and rent it because the fashion that Edie wears at Warhol's factory is awe-inspiring and the styling is fabulous! Below is the beautiful Edie.

Style Icon of the Day

I always start my day first doing my work (I am an undergrad college student/intern) then I blog and twitter, and my favorite thing to check everyday on twitter is Elle's Quote of the Day. These quotes are from talented individuals and always inspire me for the rest of the day. I want to start a daily blogpost now to inspire my readers' days. This post is called 'Style Icon of the Day' and I will list my favorite style icon (living or passed-away) that I am inspired by and appreciative of the talent they gave. My first 'Style Icon of the Day' has to be none-other than Alexander McQueen. This man can not be classified just as a fashion designer, but a true artist in the fashion industry and made his garments have movement, beauty, and were awe-inspiring. He is not with us, but his legacy carries on. 

Here is the sixteen STUNNING looks from McQueen's Last Collection: Fall 2010

Textilin' and Style Profilin'

My new background is by the artist/fashion designer Mary Catherine Moody. I blogged about this girl earlier in August, but have an update. She is now designing a Fall 2011 collection in collaboration with a guy named Brent for their brand called Aman Stovall! This name is killer and the textiles/adornment that Mary Catherine has posted on her blog are ahmazing and getting me really excited for the launching of Aman Stovall. Follow their blog at www.amanstovall.blogspot.com and check out updates of the brand on amanstovall.com!

TwistBands: The Haute New Hair Accessory

Make your life easier with the new hair accessory: the Twistband. These easy hair accessories were founded by Jessica Frandson, who created these hair bands out-of-necessity when she was a mom. Like all moms, time for yourself diminishes and you have to "Make-Do" including with your hairstyle. Jessica wore her hair in a pony tail almost everyday, so she created a hair band out of cloth that wouldn't hurt or let's be honest here, cut off her circulation in her wrist. She launched her Twistband company in 2009, and the easy go-to hair accessories have been a hit!

Milly Spring 2011 Collection!

The Milly Spring 2011 Collection this past New York Fashion Week was SO major! I like this collection because it showed colorful prints with floral textiles and geometric shapes that made the outfits in chic technocolor! Also, Michelle Smith, designer of Milly, has just launched a Spring accessories line including purses and jewelry! My favorite accessories of the newly launched collection are the chic tribal necklaces, along with the purses that can add a pop of color to an outfit! Here is the Spring 2011 Collection that is to DIE for, and to be a Millyionaire, go to Millyny.com to shop the new Fall 2010 collection that is so beautiful! Enjoy these looks!

The gorgeous and fabulous designer, Michelle Smith!
