ZARA picks...

      I am dying to channel my inner Jackie O.  and I think all these pieces would help me do so just
perfectly.  As the new year approaches I can't help but think that I am one year older, wiser, therefore
I can't contain my excitement and inspiration to embrace the sophistication and grace that should come along with becoming once again a "twenty something" girl woman.
                  

Black Swan...

I patiently awaited for the opening day of Darren Aronofsky's thriller, Black Swan.  It's as if Mr. Aronofsky was reading my mind because he cast two of my favorite actresses in it, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.  Words alone cannot express how much grace and poise these girls posses even under the microscopic lens of the paparazzi.  Needless to say, but I will, that both Natalie and Mila are gorgeous but what sets them apart from the pack is their witty and charming personalities.  I am indulging in the latest issue of Nylon wich features Mila on it's December issue. I finally had the chance to watch Black Swan last week and I absolutely loved it.  I'd hate to ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it so all I'll say is...if you can brave the Holiday crowds and make it to the theater, this movie is well worth it.  Both Natalie and Mila delivered award winning performances.

New Years Eve Ensemble Inspiration...Olivia Wilde

     Take a look at Olivia Wilde wearing a  STUNNING gold floor length gown by Emilio Pucci...this dress just screams New Years Eve.  I love the fact that it's a long dress with long sleeves yet you get just enough of that sexy flesh of skin in the front with the peek-a-boo cut out detail. She pulled off the entire look perfectly by keeping her hair simple and sleek.  Her make-up is just enough to make her best feature (her eyes) stand out.  The dress, the hair, the make-up...I've found my inspiration for my New Years Eve ensemble, which by the way, is only 3 weeks away!!!

Anthro Wish List...

YES PLEASE...No one does cozy wool sweaters like Anthropologie, and they always get the perfect colors.  I can't tell you how many times I've loved a garment but didn't purchase it because it wasn't the right color...that's never been the case at Anthropologie.  All I want for Christmas is...

Style Spotlight...Miroslava Duma

     So I'm pretty sure that if you mention the name Miroslava Duma to even your most fashion savvy friends, if they're not familiar with the fashion blog community, they will probably have no idea who she is.  Needless to say that in the blog world she's a Top Style Icon, you all know that already! But who is Miroslava really? How did she become so popular? Well...Miroslava Duma was an editor for Harper's Bazaar Russia who is now a freelance writer for numerous publications and has already made a name for herself in the world of fashion at the tender age of 25.  Miroslava has been on the top of my "It Girl" List for a while now, and below are the many reasons why........
