Icon: Zoe Saldana



Photo from the Huffington Post
When I look up photos for certain trends or topics that I want to talk about, some of my favorite celebrities keep popping up. These stylish, tasteful celebrities are people that I admire, not just for the amazing things they have accomplished, but also for their amazing wardrobe. One of my favorites is Zoe Saldana.


Zoe is a very talented and well-sought-after actress, and a very strong, sexy, and fashionable woman. Her more recent style choices have shown that she likes to take trends and make them her own. She can be seen in more tomboyish clothing with a feminine piece, an attention-grabbing, glamorous dress, or dark and sleek clothing that shows off her bad-ass persona. Regardless of what she wears, there's always a touch of elegance to her. She isn't afraid to try new things, and that is what I love about her style. Here are some looks that I admire from her.

Sheer Greatness

One trend that's delightfully popping up is sheer material. Tops, bottoms, dresses, jumpsuits... how do turn see-through clothing into something classy? As long as the major parts are covered, and the material doesn't look cheap, you've got yourself a winner. Here are some of my favorite looks:

Would I wear any of this? I would want to. As with most of the things I love, you have to have the confidence to pull it off as well. Unless it's all one piece, try to pair the sheer item with a tasteful opaque piece. Mix, match, and have fun!

With Love,

Seeing Red

Click here << and think about what you feel.

It's a large photo of the color red. Color, as you know, can elicit many emotions. Red is one of those bold, fiery colors that bring about thoughts of passion, anger, seduction, warmth, and spice. Adding it as a pop of color to an outfit brings an eye-catching element to your look. Wearing all red, however, is for the most daring.

I personally love to see people in red. It shows confidence and sexiness. Some great designers have done wonderful things with the color! These photos are a special fashion dedication to red. Pick and choose, my dears, pick and choose...
Red trench, black dress, polka dot stockings. Is the boa over the top? Depends on how bold you want to be!

Tom Jones Rain Boots. Bring some attention to your feet.

Get creative! Paint your nails red, wear red lipstick, wear a red belt, grab a red purse, get some red accessories for winter. Walk outside with your head held high because you will be sure to grab some attention!

With Love,
