Style Fille: Keira Knightley

I can’t decide whether I like this dress or not…or rather…I know that I like it, but there are a few things that bother me about it – like the stitching/pleating going on near her midriff. What is that? Is that supposed to look wrinkly? I just don’t know.

But the rest of it – I love! Love the criss-cross neckline (one advantage of being flat-chested), love the subtle makeup, and lovely hair…I adore her shoes…which, I might be slightly biased, because it looks like they are Pierre Hardy twins of my own golden heeled shoes…

But what about you? Vote below…is this look a hit or a miss?

What I Wore: Beauty Parler Says “I Do!”

When my friend Monica of Beauty Parler got engaged, I was so excited for her! I’ve known this stylish lady for 8 years now…pretty much ever since I’d moved here from Texas, and I just knew that her wedding was going to be incredible. Monica wore a lovely Priscilla of Boston gown, with a long Spanish veil…and she looked stunning…such a gorgeous bride!

Since I knew that her decor was going to have a lot of purple accents, choosing my outfit was a breeze. I finally got to wear my (precious) Lanvin x H&M dress! I’ve been saving it for a special-enough occasion, and what could be more special than a wedding? Le boyfriend and I danced salsa and merengue, ate Portuguese food, and had a lovely time. Plus, we might’ve gotten some pointers for our own wedding in May! Thank you, Mon and Carlos, for an amazing night!

I Wore: Dress – Lanvin x H&M; Shoes – Pierre Hardy (The Room); Clutch – Winners; Ring – YSL; Earrings – The Bay

What I Wore: SMUT Soiree

Here’s what I wore to Lainey Gossip’s SMUT on Monday! My brand new Topshop skirt in one of my fave colors ever – mustard, a cheapie printed shirt via Forever21, some fun beaded bracelets from H&M, and of course, my favorite Pierre Hardy heels from The Room. I am in serious love with the skirt, and have a feeling that I’ll be wearing it all summer long. Oh yes, I will.

Having said that, as I mentioned, the four most stylish gossipettes are competing to win the big $2K prize from The Bay, and if you have a few minutes, you should totally vote for your favorite! One of the candidates is already featured on Style Blog, and she definitely has my vote. Who will you be voting for?

I Wore: Skirt – Topshop (The Bay); Top – Forever21; Necklace – Kate Spade; Shoes – Pierre Hardy (The Room); Bracelets – H&M, The Bay, BCBG; Rings – H&M, Forever21, YSL; Belt – Zara; Backpack – Chanel

Holidays 2010: Dear Santa…

Ahh, Christmas-time! The time of “giving and receiving as well as having and sharing”. To be quite honest, I struggled with my list this year…not because I don’t want things, but because, mostly, I feel like whatever I do want, I end up buying for myself (excluding Chanel 2.55). So here’s this year’s Christmas Wishlist of things that I haven’t bought for myself…just yet.

1. Salvatore Ferragamo Flats

Classic, comfy, lovely. Also want the “Miss Vara” belt, as seen here.

2. YSL Wallet

Technically, I am in love with the entire Y-Mail collection, but this beautiful wallet would surely rid me of my winter blues.

3. Charlotte Olympia Shoes

Ok, so this one is more of a “dream” wishlist item, considering the price. But after meeting Charlotte at a recent event, I’m not only in love with the witty Brit, but with her entire Spring 2011 collection.

4. Chanel Wallet on a Chain

Not even sure if this one is available in stores anymore, but I adore its simplicity and versatility. Wallet for the daily grind, and a chic clutch for nights out – all in one cute quilted little package.

5. Lanvin for H&M Dress

I don’t even know why I put this one on my Christmas wishlist, since I already know that I’ll be lining up outside my local H&M bright and early come November 20th. But in case Santa can really hear me…Please, please, please, give me luck (and strength) to get the dresses I want amidst the madness that is sure to ensue.

6. Chanel Earrings

These are vintage, and I’ve been looking for a similar pair in gold for quite some time now. Not an impossible item, but surely is a tough one to get.

7. Pierre Hardy for Gap Shoes

These peep-toe wedges are as amazing-looking, as they are kick-ass. Too bad I can’t find a pair in my size!

8. YSL Ring

Various versions of this ring have been available for a while now, and though at first I was clearly smitten with the one in turquoise, this indigo blue ring is a bit more…glam? Regardless, I love this combo the best!

So far, I only have 8  items on my Christmas wishlist. 2 more to come soon…as soon as I see something shiny that catches my eye!

What’s on your list this year? Any suggestion on the remaining 2? Share in the comments!

Details after the jump!
