 Rebecca Minkoff Fashion Show in Rebecca Minkoff

On The Cover Of Healthy Pet With Her Dogs

Origin's Rocks Earth Month Concert in Kimberly Ovitz

At The CFDA Fashion Awards in David Meister

As one can clearly tell from the title, this is a post entirely dedicated to the amazingness that is Sophia Bush. As you can also clearly tell, i am a big fan of hers. So here are my five reasons to love Sophia Bush. One, She is adorable and makes amazing fashion choices. She wore a black and white Herve Leger bandage dress to the Young Hollywood Awards, and was hands down best dressed. Two, she loves Rebecca Minkofff and is often seen wearing some of her adorable designs. Three, she is an advocate for animal rights. Bush was on the cover of Healthy Pet with her two adopted pups looking as cute as ever. Four, she cares about the environment and is linked to several charities and organization that try and make our earth clear and better. Finally five, She wore that insanely sexy and gorgeous dress by David Meister to the CFDA Fashion Awards, easily one of the best dressed of the night. This list could have been a lot longer but here are the five reasons you are a moron if you don't love Sophia Bush. xoxo

Karolina Kurkova Covers Vogue Spain July 2012

Some gorgeous shots of Karolina Kurkova on the cover of Vogue Spain. I adore this editorial, it's fun, fresh but still swoon worthy. Karolina is gorgeous and everything a true fashion model should be. Vogue Spain has been pushing out great covers and editorials in the last few months, makes me wonder why I'm not paying a ridiculous amount of money to get them delivered to the US.  Hopefully they will continue to bring out amazing covers until then ill just have to dream of Karolina's long legs and blonde locks.

London Calling

I thought that in the honor of my departure for London i would write a post on my favorite, living royal. Now if we were talking of all time, i would have to say my favorite British royal house member would be Princess Diana followed by the last reigning tudor, Queen Elizabeth the First. However today is dedicated to the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and her impeccable style. She may be a commoner but girl has some serious style. Kate wore Alexander McQueen at the Order of the Garter Day event, topped literally off with a Jane Corbett hat. Its amazing how this dress manages to give Kate some curves while still keeping her silhouette sleek at the same time. As a Duchess she always is picture perfect and classy but also manages not to dull the public. I love the fact that not only does she purchase all her clothing and does not accept freebies but that she re-wears key pieces. As this post goes up ill probably be on my way across the pound to London, and who knows, maybe ill run into a prince or two whilst I'm over there. xoxo 

Selena Gomez Has A Versace Moment, Twice

From her growing music career to dating America's number one teen heartthrob, Justin Beiber, it seems that Selena Gomez has it all. Since leaving Disney, Selena Gomez has really come into her own. It seemed like she was all grown up at a Macy's event earlier this month, when she wore a bandeau top, high waisted shorts and a fitted white blazer from Versace's SS12 collection. I love the very on trend cropped top and how she choose to dress it up with a crisp white blazer. The seashell print is insanely cute and paired with the crisp white blazer, it completely screams summer to me. 

Selena looked amazing yet again at a charity event in a pastel aqua Versace dress. I loved this look on the runway and even more so on Selena. I love the mix of the pastel with the double loop studded belt. She choose to pair this Versace number with a pair of nude Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, yet again. I wish she had picked a funkier shoe instead of just a plain nude pump, but other than that i think this is a great look on Selena. I wonder if she'll have another Versace moment before the month is through. 

Emma Stone Covers Vogue July 2012

I am a huge fan of Emma's both on the red carpet and on the big screen. This past year she has been on several best dressed list, but still manages to not look like the cool girl next door. Ever since she wore that salmon Calvin Klein gown to the Golden Globes the fashion world has really started to take notice. Now that she is on the cover of Vogue, which next to women's wear daily is bible, its safe to say she's made it. From the images that are on vogue.com i really like the styling and am looking forward to her interview with Nathan Heller. I can't wait to see how her press for her new movie spiderman will go, but i am pretty sure she will be looking as great as ever. For those of you interested, she was shot by none other than Mario Testino, wearing Nina Ricci on the cover. The magazine hits newsstands July 26.

Imaginary Shopping Trip: Airport Edition

Fendi Cloud Top $570

 JBrand Leather Skinny $895

Christian Louboutin Lipsinka $895

Zagliani Python Large Tomodachi Bowling Bag $3,900

Tom Ford Madison $425

Whilst shopping on Barney's website i came across these insane Jbrand leather skinnys and literally had to pick my jaw off my key broad. It was the perfect leather jean i had been looking for.  They were the right kind of skinny, black and made by my one true love Jbrand. However what wasn't perfect was the price tag. Although i rarely put a cost on finding the perfect pair a jeans, i knew my credit card and my mother would not approve of the over eight hundred dollar price tag. So instead of wallowing, i thought what could i wear these bad boys with. Id like to think that if i could have the ultimate airport outfit, this would be it. Its cool, casual and it has the perfect mix of rock and roll and femininity. I imagine Kate Moss could easily pull this off or even Blake Lively. However even though i can't exactly shell out over six thousand dollars on one outfit, i have started to think about what i might wear on my impending travels abroad. I have decided on my mid rise Jbrand jeans with a simple black scoop neck teeshirt from the Row. The rest i will have to figure out in the next three days, until then happy dreaming.

Emma Stone at the London and Paris Premiere of Spiderman

The promotional tour for Spiderman is in full swing and there have been some really strong fashion statements from Ms.Stone in the last few weeks. These two looks are by far my favorite. Partially because they are more exciting and also because they are both all black ensembles. Sometimes i think theres nothing chicer that dressing head to toe in all black. Not only is it flattering but it seems to draw the eye to the details on the garments. The details are what make these two very different outfits work on Emma Stone.

The frist outfit is from the London premiere. Emma wore a V-neck Elie Saab bodice jumpsuit with Van Cleef & Arpels jewlery. I usually think that jumpsuits should be left way back in the disco era. However, this jumpsuit is so classic, simple and elegant that it makes me second guess all these years i have gone without one. Everything about it is perfect from the beading and sequins to the contrasting pin strip down the side of the pant, to the pop of color in the gold belt. The most amazing thing is the use of so many different textures and materials that make this look. If i would have imagined the tuxedo version of a jumpsuit with a twist i believe it would look something like this. I love that Emma kept it chic with the straight hair and delicate smokey eye and simple jewelry.

The next look is from her Paris premiere. Emma's look is heroin-gothic chic at its best. She wore an amazing Gucci dress, with Repossi jewelry, a Cartier clutch and Christian Louboutin heels. When i first saw the photos from that night i literally almost cried. I don't think Emma has every had such a big fashion moment in her life. Her Calvin Klein number at the Golden Globes, now seems like such a safe choice. I would have never imagined or expected something like this on Emma, but it works so well. The dress, if you can call it that, is something of a transformative piece of art, on Emma. In another city this might have been a miss, but on the most romantic and artistic streets of Paris, this is très magnifique. I love the thigh slit that is still somewhat covered, to the intricate veining on the shoulders and hips. Paired with the 1920's hair do and cherry black lips, Emma Stone literally looks lethal. I can't imagine Emma toping this memorable ensemble, but heres hoping that she keeps exciting us.

Hanna And Zara Make A Perfect Pair

ZARA ASYMMETRIC CHIFFON SKIRT 

ZARA DRESS WITH FRINGING AT THE FRONT

I just finished watching last night Pretty Little Liars and i literally had an oh my god moment when i saw Ashley Benson, aka Hanna, in Zara's tropical skirt. I love this skirt dearly, and had to go into 3 different Zaras in New York City, to find one in my size.  Hanna of course looks a one hundred percent better than i do in it, but i'll let that slide. I have been really impressed with the styling on the show and even more impressed this season with Hanna's wardrobe. I love the way they uses different textures and patterns that you would otherwise not have thought of. By far Hanna has my favorite style on the show, and the one i like to think is closet to mine. Hanna had another Zara moment in this season premiere when she wore that amazing fringe dress. She always looks so put together even though half the times her life is in danger. I guess its good to know that if she is killed off in the show, she'll die in style. 

A Bit of a Blake Lively Rave

Blake Lively is on the cover of yet another magazine. This time Blake, looking as fierce as ever, dons a coat dress from Balmain's Spring 2012 collection on Marie Claire's July 2012 Cover. I have to say this is some of the best styling i have seen in Marie Claire. I love every look and of course the nude Mario Schwab embellished gown is by far my favorite (second image from the top). It's amazing how she makes everything look good, even things that on other celebrities would look outdated or too provocative. I remember watching the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants years ago thinking this girls got it all perfect hair, perfect face and perfect body god i hate her. Of course i could never hate Blake. After countless seasons on Gossip Girl, several movies and being seen with a few of hollywoods most gorgeous men, Blake is still one of my favorite celebrities. She seems to manage fame so well and when i think of other celebrities at her age I'm reminded even more of how grounded she is (think Lindsay Lohan circa last year). Not only that but she is one of the few actress who doesn't have a stylist, and although sometimes i wonder "what was she thinking, " it takes a lot of courage to be you in a world filled with people trying to change you. On a final note Marie Claire hits newsstands June 19. 

My Crazy Hunt For DV Archer Sandals

DV by Dolce Vita Archer Sandal in Neon Pink $69.99

I have been obsessed with these DV by Dolce Vita Sandals for the past few weeks. I have seen them at countless stores, in a variety of colors and materials. I however being the idiot that i am waited until this past weekend to actually attempt to purchase these beauties. Of course every store at this point, no longer had my size in any of the colors i wanted. Being the savvy shopper that i am i took to the internet to hunt them down, to no avail. I thought my search ended on friday when i finally found a website that had a size 6 in the classic black leather. Only to wake up this morning to an email from said website claiming that my card would not be charged as they no longer had the sandal in my size. I thought after years of dating my heart had been broken all it that it could be, but i guess i was wrong. With less than a week until my trip abroad, I'm left wondering if i will ever get my feet into these gorgeous shoes. For those of you who do not have  dwarf feet like mine, there seems to be a wide selection of the DV Archer sandals in sizes larger than 6.5 everywhere. However i urge you to go out and get them now if you too have fallen in love like me.
