Obsessed: An Ode To Keira Knightley

I'm very much in love with Keira Knightley.  Last night I saw Begin Again at the beautiful Angelika , her latest flick, also starring Mark Ruffalo who was weirdly charming.  Basically KK is dating Adam Levine and they're songwriters and then he turns out to suck and Mark Ruffalo realizes she's really talented and they record an album outside, all over New York City, which was super cool.  The movie wasn't phenomenal but I really enjoyed it.  Keira sang, which was adorable.  See?

Also, I'm usually not in love with her style but in the movie she looked beyond adorable in a "Brooklyn Baby" sort of way.

LOOK HOW CUTE SHE IS

Also I just want to mention that she was in New York the other day promoting this movie and she wore this and I cannot get enough of it.

Style Icon: The Evolution of Taylor Swift

Those who know me know how much it breaks my heart to say this, but it's true.  She always looks f-cking incredible.

It really wasn't that long ago that small town 17 year-old Taylor Swift dressed horribly.  When she had that horrible kinky hair and always wore blue glittery eye shadow with cowboy boots.

Then she presumably got a stylist and turned 18 and figured out that it wasn't okay to dress like that and cowboy boots are horrible.  She grew up a little bit and straightened her hair and stopped dressing like she was going to her prom in Tennessee.  And things started to turn around.

Now, she's a rock star.  No pun intended.  She's mastered the casual jeans look.  

She's mastered the business casual look.

She's mastered the fun flirty look.

She's mastered the casual sophisticated urbanite look.

She's mastered the Kate Moss meets Keira Knightley look.

Then the red carpet looks started to change.

Then, things got realllllly good.  And Tay went from being a typical teenage Nashville resident to being chic as f-ck.  

Good job Taylor, you've come a long way.

Trend Alert: Bugs

Is it just me or are bugs everywhere this spring?  No, it's not just me.  Jewelry, clothing, accessories, shoes, everything is covered in bugs.

Personally, I don't love it and I wouldn't wear bugs all over my clothes because I hate bugs, but if you do I won't be mad.  But what is the right amount of bug?


1. Don't overdo it.  Nobody likes bugs, they're gross.  So do your best to make it look like there aren't hundreds of bugs all over your body.  Try these McQ leggings with a plain top or this Bob Mackie top with jeans.

2. Start with something small.  If you're reticent to try this trend, take it slow.  A cuff or earrings would be good.  Try this Insect Wing Bangle from Neiman Marcus. 

3. If you're afraid to take the plunge with the clothes, opt for a clutch or scarf.  Try this Lizzie Fortunato 'Buzz Safari' clutch.
