It all works

Rooney Mara is doing a great job.  Not only as an actress but as an actress who has to get dressed for premieres, award shows and all that other fancy stuff.  She's really become someone I can't wait to see what she's got going on.  The above images are from her Berlin photocall for her movie "Side Effects" in which she's wearing Baleciaga Resort 2013.  I am not usually a fan when people wear head to toe runway looks because it looks like the clothes wear them instead of vice versa.  Rooney does not possess this here, the look only adds to the edge that she already has.  Her hair and makeup compliment the look perfectly which to me should always be the goal.  I love how clean everything is from her hair to her lack of jewelry except for the Balenciaga gold rings.  She looks on trend but unique to herself which makes it all work in her favor.

​Also, would just like to point out the trend too.  I'm loving the bralette/harness/bustier over a boxy white tee with the rolled up sleeves. Yes, please!                                  Photo by Tommy Ton/Style.com

Spring Cool

This is what spring should look like, this of course is only according to me.  It epitomizes how I want to feel leaving winter and heading into summer.  I live in California though, so I basically always feel like I am in Spring. ha! The left Stella McCartney and right Celine looks both scream "the sun is out!"  which makes me so happy.  I love the tonal look of both, the slouchy long sleeves and the wide leg trousers.  Both looks are casual yet tailored which to me is everything I could ever want.  I love the hair in what I like to call "done down", where your hair looks like it just naturally falls that way but you actually spent some time on. The side part and the minimal makeup are the perfect accessory to the bold color of the yellow and the embroidered pants. The middle part with the berry lip adds such a great pop in contrast to the all white and orange. Both looks are effortless, crisp, casual and so very cool.
