Friday Faux Pas: Paz De La Huerta

Ok, so perhaps because I’ve been staring at this picture for too long and it hypnotized my brain into thinking it’s not that bad, this outfit doesn’t seem as hideous today as it did to me yesterday. So to settle this Faux Pas or Not debate going on in my head, I’m asking you, loyal Style Blog readers, to decide. Is Paz De La Huerta’s head-to-toe leopard print getup a do or a do-not? Take the poll below.

What do you think about Paz De La Huerta's Animal Instincts?

What I Wore: Quebec City Part 1

Despite some mishaps and problematic planning, my birthday extravaganza (coined by le boyfriend) away from my friends for the first time, was a success. After a long-ish work-week, I was whisked away on a Porter plane to the faraway land of castles, small winding streets, horse carriages, and fab food – Quebec City.

Almost immediately after stepping foot into Old Quebec, I found myself staring at a Longchamp bag I’ve wanted for a while, yet have never been able to find (even in Paris…three times!). Well, as luck had it, the store did carry the version I’ve been lusting after, and I snatched it up without hesitation. Good start to the trip, right?

I also got to wear my H&M Fashion Against AIDS dress for the first time. Was supposed to wear it to Al’s birthday BBQ, but since we ended up missing it, I wore it in Quebec instead…to le boyfriend’s disappointment (he hates any type of leopard print).

The rest of the day was spent eating (Le Lapin Sauté), walking around and sightseeing, and drinking Blanche De Chambly, which is le boyfriend’s favoritest beer. The weather, thankfully, was quite perfect for a day of discovering Quebec city’s markets, streets, and patios. And since this was my first time in the city, my poor feet did not get much rest at all. But I guess, this is good practice for our next trip to Europe.

What I Wore: Dress, Turquoise Ring, Nail Polish, Men’s Bracelet – H&M; Blazer – Zara; Turquoise Bracelet, Shoes – Urban Outfitters; Belt – Forever 21; Sunglasses – Ray Ban; Backpack – Chanel

Style Fille: Who Wore it Better

Red can be a tough color to pull off without looking tarty or cheap. All three famous ladies in this post look fab, in my opinion, donning short red frocks, accessorized with leopard print and taupe pumps, motorcycle jackets, and clutches. But which celeb rocked her Little Red Dress the best? Cast your vote below.

Who looks hottest in red?

Style Fille: Diane Kruger

I do see that it’s getting kind of obsessive at this point, but Diane Kruger is a woman after my heart! I absolutely adore that she paired her jumpsuit with leopard print booties, instead of some predictable variation of cagey sandals. Once again, I love that this girl does her own hair, makeup, styling…she does it all! I know most of you will be like “if I had all these resources at my fingertips, I could do it without a stylist too!”, and perhaps most of you could do it! But if you think about it, Britney Spears has a lot of dough, but does she look stylish? Hellz to the no. And neither did Nicole Richie pre-Zoe. Just saying…Diane is the whole package…which probably doesn’t help my style obsession.

Friday Faux Pas: This Guy

If the weather warrants the warmth of a fur coat, perhaps flip flops are not such a good idea? Actually, I don’t think flip flops on guys (other than on the beach) are ever a good idea, due to an abundance of other (classier) options! Unless you live in California and are a surfer dude, that is. This guy is neither. So…Just.Don’t!

Style Fille: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Absolutely love that leopard wrap/shrug that Mary-Kate is rocking! Also love her rings, bracelets, hair, makeup, and the “prune” smirk. She doesn’t care if you hate it, and why should she? Ashley’s lacey bodysuit also caught my eye…wonder if I could pull that off?

Love them or hate them, the Olsens always bring something new and different to the fashion plate…and for that, I love their style!

What I Wore: Miami Vice

I cannot say this enough – I love sunny days! Even on weekdays, when I am cooped up indoors for the majority of the day, it still puts a smile on my face! Last Friday, as I walked outside to grab lunch with a couple of friends at TD Towers, the streets were packed with pedestrians, the flowers were in full bloom, and the sun was shining brightly. There’s absolutely nothing that could make me grumpy or sad on days like that. Let the sunshine in!

This outfit reminds me of Miami Vice because of the t-shirt, the white jeans, and the big-shouldered blazer – don’t I look like a female version of Don Johnson? Especially in my new H&M leopard print sunglasses! Love them so much! Oh, and almost forgot…did you spot my new baby? I think it’s one of those forever loves…I can just feel it! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend…and Happy Monday!

What I Wore: Men’s T-shirt, Ring - Forever 21; Blazer – Zara; Jeans – Winners; Sunglasses – H&M; Shoes – Nine West; Backpack – Chanel

Organic Style: Lilly

Meet Lilly. Lilly is the girl I ran into while waiting in line at Fran’s. The first thing I noticed about her outfit is, of course, her coat. I’ve been into this trend for a while now, and seeing someone young and stylish rocking an animal print in such a casual way – I just had to stop her for a picture! Next thing I noticed were her awesome cuffed motorcycle booties – a piece I’ve been looking for forever! Her lovely Miu Miu bag, which looks worn in but not worn out (the same cannot be said about my Miu Miu), and her infectious smile complete the outfit. What are your thoughts on Lilly’s style?

Spot On

Le boyfriend’s first reaction at seeing me in my new-ish Zara leopard print coat was sheer horror. To him, leopard print in general, translates into a trashy Eastern European woman with no taste. As a person of East European descent, I don’t take any offence to his aversion – I’ve seen my fair share of horrid use of leopard print, zebra print, etc. back home to be able to agree with him that animal prints can definitely go wrong if worn inappropriately. But… can such an awesome and stylish group as Aurora Sansone, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, Viviana Volpicella, Poppy Delevigne, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld really be wrong? Sure, they could. But to me, in my humble opinion, a leopard print coat is a chic top-up to a simple outfit. And that’s that. Love it or hate it.

Style Fille: Chloë Sevigny

So I will probably get a lot of flack for this one from the guys, but to me, this outfit is amazingness! I adore Chloë’s ability to pull anything and everything off with such ease and confidence. On me, for example, those pants would look like pajamas from hell, but on Chloë they are styling perfection. What do you think? Love or not so much?
