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.

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,

Leather Loving Lady

Although I love to research fashion trends and see what exciting things designers say that's 'in' for a certain season, I usually am the ultimate one to decide what I like and what I want to wear. Something that will never go out of style for me is leather!

Whether in jacket or jewelry form, I love the leather look. It toughens any outfit up and is just a classic staple to my wardrobe.

Luckily for me, the leather jacket is definitely timeless, and it seems that leather just won't go out of style. If you don't already, here are a few ways you can add leather to your look.

Pokerun Marylin Leather Jacket
While a simple leather jacket will probably never go out of style, some extra embellishments some as ribbed sleeves or extra studs might. Throw a leather jacket over any outfit to instantly toughen it up and add some edge!

If you're not comfortable with wearing completely leather pants, get some leggings with leather trim.

Burdastyle Leather Shorts

Pair some leather shorts with a more feminine shirt to create a softer, more glamorous look.

Boots I definitely want!
Leather Boots
Boots do almost the same thing a leather jacket does. Wear them with a skirt or over skinny jeans to bad-ass your look. Leather handbags add a simple clean look to your entire outfit. As with all leather pieces, don't shy away from color. Try things out your comfort zone every once in a while!
