Zoe Saldana

 Get the Look

One of my favourite looks from all of the Fashion shows of late is Zoe Saldanas outfit at the Prabal Gurung’s Fall 2012 show. 

Pulled straight from his Spring 2012 runway, Zoe definitely pulled of the look and stood out from the crowd (which is a hard task when sat amongst the celebrity filled front rows).

Not a look I think I could pull of in my mundane day to day world but if I ever got a chance to go to New York Fashion week, this would be amongst one of the first outfits i'd try. 

1. Top £3.99, H&M

3. Blue scarf print paper bag trousers £15.00, River Island

S/S 12 Sherbet favourites

After the brief flirtation with snow we had today, it feels like were digressing back to winter rather than Spring/Summer. But a bit of snow doesn't stop the high-street from stocking Summer staples so following on from my Spring obsession with Pastel shades,  I've rounded up my sherbet favourites from the high-street. 

1. peach dress £65, Jones&Jones
2. Lilac denim shorts £14.99, New Look
3. Drape front longsleeve top £36, Topshop
4. Light yellow lace belted skater dress £35, River Island
5. BITTEN Suede Platform Heeled Sandals with T-Bar £75, ASOS
6. PISA Platform Chunky Suede Sling Back Shoes £75, ASOS
7. Pastel Metal Keeper Super Skinny Belt £6, ASOS
8. Lemon snake twist lock bag £25, Topshop

Wednesday Envy: Mint Magic

Following on from my obsession of springs pastel hues, my favourite outfit of the week is Jessica's dreamy mint ensemble. 

I used to wear a lot of  all black outfits (out of pure laziness and being rushed to get ready) but this is a great example of how to get away with wearing an outfit of one colour. The slight tonal differences give it enough variation and the black adds a nice bit of contrast. I would maybe feel a bit cold wearing this at the moment (considering most of last week was minus something) but i'm definitely bookmarking this look for summer!

1. Lattice back crop £24, Topshop

2. Warehouse padlock shopper £38, ASOS

3. Retro sunglasses £12, ASOS

4. Mint green skinny trousers £30, River Island

Wednesday Envy: Blake Lively

Besides metallic accessories i've never owned a metallic item of clothing. I always try things on but just feel like a bit of a spaceman or like a marathon runner with one of those foil wraps you get after you've run a race.  Though after seeing Blake Lively in this ensemble I think I would feel anything but something from out of space. 

Blake was wearing this gorgeous Gucci metallic skirt at Sprinkles Bakery in New York to launch her own cupcake, the 'Smore's cupcake' (uhh yum!)

I like it because it's a classic look of skirt and shirt but the metallic pop makes it feel fun and youthful. The only thing i'm not keen on are Blake's green Brian Atwood pumps. But each to there own (I do like how she's matched her nails to her shoes though).
