(Emma) Stone Cold Fox

     When I think about stylish celebrities in Hollywood today, i immediately think of Emma Stone. This girl knows her fashion. Besides for being the funniest girl in Hollywood, having the talent to pull off every hair color imaginable and still manage to be a sweet girl, she's always looking good. Here are a few of her shining moments.

Stone manages to pull off the leather mini dress without looking trampy. Her classic black pumps and big ring do the trick, as well as the fact that her dress is not low cut. Fabulously executed!

This look reaches the purest form of glamour. Not only is she rocking this platinum blonde look, she's working this peach floor-length gown, with a T-shirt collar. Not too easy to accomplish. The makeup is just right and her clutch keeps it modern.


This look is fantastic, as well. She somehow avoided looking like a bride or a 6-year-old ready for bed, and ended up looking great. The nude heels keep it fresh and add height, while the clutch compliments the shoes.

















This look is more "out there." For a redhead, yellow is a tricky color, and especially if it's got black lace draped over it. Emma keeps this look fresh with an orange clutch and red satan shoes, which somehow work really well here. These other colors need to be present so that the black, yellow and ginger hair work complimentarily, and I don't mean for Halloween.

This ensemble may just be my favorite of all. Emma knows how to wear this metallic halter gown. She executes this chain-neck-halter perfectly, and avoids looking like a washed out punk has-been. The deep red nail polish and big ring make the look spunky yet glamourous, and the hair may be the perfect accent for the dress. Because the dress has Roman features, Emma mimics that with a modern twist on an Ancient Greek hairstyle. It looks clean but effortless. And we all know she sure deserved that award!

The last of my favorite looks is this metallic mini. This number may just be the most intimidating looking dress out there. Not for Emma! She pulls this off with a pair of toned down suede heels, and loose hair so that there isn't too much going on. Even in the midst of all that crazy, she looks like she just threw this outfit together!

So, that's a refreshing reminder that there is hope for fashion these days, especially in Hollywood, alongside this:    

Don't worry! The Stone will save us all.*

Locks for Looks

This season I've noticed the fashion industry bursting with new innovative and creative hairstyles, between the runway, editorial photo shoots and street fashion. I've noticed a huge trend of bohemian styles which pretty much boil down to three major recurring patterns.



The first major trend I've noticed is the funky take on a classic twisty look. It's chalk-full of topsy-turvy, voluptuous dos and smooth, rich colors. This is a sort of modern twist (no pun intended!) on a classic do, and it stays fresh and timeless.

The next trend I've noticed has blown up recently everywhere I look. It's that stringy, blonde-grunge, thin wavy/straight hair that's all over–yeah, you know what I'm talking about! This look is growing on me, especially since hombre looks so good on this kind of hair. Unfortunately, my hair is the exact opposite of this kind: dark, extremely thick and curly. Nonetheless, this look is great for boho chicness and giving your outfits a bit of an edge. This is especially big on the runway.

The last pattern I've noticed is probably the biggest at the moment. I'm really digging this french/twist/fishtail braid style! It's, for the most part, pretty easy to do on your own and instantly improves your outfits. It's great for keeping locks out of your face, too, or for just a bad hair day. These looks are so creative–I would've never thought of doing this kind of thing with braids, twisting and turning them in every possible direction. I also love the fishtails or regular braids that are looser at the root and tighten as the braid progresses. Edgy, yet classic.

So, these are the trends I've seen recently in hair, and I'm loving every bit of it. Finally, styles that all of us ladies can do and actually enjoy looking at!*

Hot Spot Hotties

Since I've always been very interested in fashion photography, I've found myself keeping up to date with particular model's works. Here are five of my favorite models who are at their hot spots in fashion right now...

ANDREJ PEJIC

This young Yugoslavian-born Australian model has been huge in the fashion industry in the past few years and has been the subject of much controversy. Andrej Pejic is in demand right now due to his "two-for-the-price-of-one" appeal. He has done women and men's modeling, and has even modeled for a bra campaign. He has been on the cover of the Dossier journal and in certain stores his topless photo has been covered. He is one of my favorite models because of his mysterious and intriguing beauty and originality.

KARLIE KLOSS

This American ballerina-gone-model is one of the most popular and versatile models of our generation.  At only 19, she's gone from Teen Vogue sweetheart to Vogue editorial model who's claimed her own signature runway gait. She's one of my favorites because of her unique and strong features and her flexibility in modeling from so many different angles these days.

ABBEY LEE KERSHAW

This 20-something Aussie supermodel has rocked everything from Chanel to being ranked number 5 for Top 50 Models Women. She is huge right now in the fashion world and has a classic but edgy look everyone wants. I love Abbey Lee because of her punk but peaceful qualities and her piercing looks.

VICTOR NYLANDER

Victor Nylander is a young Danish newbie to the industry. He seems to be just starting out in fashion but he's bound for greatness due to his fresh and sharp looks and modeling potential. He's begun his career with a Versace runway show in fall 2011 and walking for Prada, too, while whipping out a Versace photo-shoot beside Abbey Lee Kershaw (a very well-known model and one of my favorites). I expect to see more of Victor Nylander in photos soon!

LILY COLE

This British ginger bombshell is a huge commodity in the world of fashion at the moment. She acts as well as models and has just been in a big screen film, Snow White and the Huntsman starring Kristen Stewart. Lily Cole has been voted by Vogue Paris as one of the top 30 models of the 2000's and her iconic looks and successful modeling capabilities have led her there. She has modeled for names from Alexander McQueen to Chanel and Marc Jacobs and has even modeled with Marilyn Manson. She is one of my favorite models because of her doll-like face and healthier looks.

So these are my top 5 favorite models of this generation. I hope to be seeing more of them this year in fashion and to see new faces make the pages as well.*
