Favorite Fashions From the Week

**I have decided to do something once a week on my blog....and you know what, I might be the only one who enjoys it. That's okay ;-) But I thought it would be fun to highlight between five to ten of my favorite fashion looks from the previous week. After all, I *do* have to get the fashion in here somewhere!

So this week, I have my five favorite looks. They aren't ranked in any particular order. Still, I would love to hear your thoughts on them....or any other fashion-y things that you have noticed this past week.


Emmy Rossum was wearing a designer I had never heard of--Bibhu Mohaptra. Yet, goodness, do I wish I had this dress in my wardrobe! I love this in so many ways. I love the patterns and geometrical shapes. The neckline/sleeves are unique. And the black paneling gives the illusion of cutouts without being actual cutouts. Add to it her hair and soft make-up. I love it

Emmy is one of a precious few in Hollywood who does not use a stylist. Looking at the job she does....doesn't it prove that having someone tell you what to wear is highly unnecessary?

Heather Graham wore another designer I am not familiar with--Talbot Runhof....and I love this one as well. She might be at the Paris Premiere for The Hangover 3, but she looks utterly classy and chic. White and black will always be a surefire winning combination. The short sleeve only on one side, along with the detailing on the bodice, adds playful elements to what is otherwise simple. I do appreciate that she kept the accessories to a minimum; if she had gone crazy, the gown would not do the talking. Hence why I am okay with her hair being pulled up. A down hairstyle would have been another competing factor.

 Victoria Beckham threw me for a loop when I saw this picture. She was actually wearing something of color!!!! You have to understand that when I say she doesn't wear color, I am being dead serious. The woman wears predominantly black and white. So when I saw this Carven skirt--I fell in love. The skirt not only has color....it is a Renaissance inspired print on it. I am not sure I would wear it because I probably couldn't get up enough courage. But Victoria does it flawlessly. Pairing it with a simple white shirt and shoes that I adore....I think this is a great outfit to wear traveling through the airport. (Though if you want to get technical, she should ditch the glasses while indoors and add a smile....but oh well =)

 Angelina Jolie has been in the news quite a lot lately. Perhaps you have maybe seen the magazines or news articles commenting on the preventative double mastectomy. That has been a controversial topic among people, so we won't get into it (although I have my own opinion....don't I always? ;-) However, she looks AMAZING at her first red carpet appearance since surgery--in a custom Saint Laurent gown. Normally, Angelina leaves me underwhelmed, like she doesn't put much effort into her appearance. Not so on this occasion. I love her hair, her makeup, everything. The dress is flawless.....and I'll just go ahead and say it....her reconstructive surgery looks impressive.

She's glowing to me!

Samantha Barks is one stunning gal....and I want this outfit for myself. I mean, the silhouette is gorgeous! The blue especially is stunning...and it shows off her svelte figure to perfection. And yes, I am obsessed with hats and fascinators. Actually, I will be buying one for my "Halloween costume"....but that is beside the point. I know a lot of people do not enjoy the British's fascination with hats....I think it just adds to the look. Yep. You couldn't ditch the hat =)

So am I off base? Are these good fashion faves? Or do you totally disagree with me? ;-)
