Style Strip down: Kristen Stewart

On Saturday I watched Twilight for the first time. Ever. I know I know I'm really late but I never read the books and didn't really feel eager to watch the films either, but it was on t.v. so I thought I would give it a try. It was good but It wasn't the most amazing film I've ever seen, but now I get why so many girls love the film, (hello the love affair that is Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart). However, sadly for some, Twilight has failed to convert me into a "Twi-hard" and the only way I'll end up watching 'New Moon' is if I can be bothered to watch it on t.v. next year.
This week the Twilight cast have been promoting 'New Moon' and Kristen's been wearing a few really cute dresses. My favourites are the J. Mendel dress and the Elizabeth and James dress.

























I love this DKNY dress (above) on Kristen. The print really suits her and the champagne colour of the dress looks great. DKNY are great for these types of dresses, they don't disappoint. The pinkish coloured Hervé Léger dress by Max Azria (right) also looks fantastic on Kristen. I particularly like the up-do they put her hair in because every time I see a picture of her, her hair is down and all over place. I also think this is the right kind of Hervé Léger dress for Kristen. Could you imagine her in one of those body con dresses as worn by Lindsay Lohan, Blake Lively and Hilary Duff?



I really don't like Kristen in this Oscar De La Renta gown. My dislike isn't because of the dress, I love that dress and everything Oscar De La Renta creates. I even posted this dress during fashion week. The reason why I don't like this dress is because it doesn't suit Kristen. You can tell that her stylist (no way did she pick this up herself) encouraged her to wear this dress and she looks incredibly uncomfortable.

Perhaps the look would of worked more if they had used the shorter version of the dress, but here Kristen just looks awkward and its a shame because the dress is beautiful. Another thing wrong is her hair. I think she cut it to play Joan Jett and its still growing back, but her team could have done something better with it if they were going to put her in Oscar. Although I suspect she wanted her hair this way.

































These two outfits are the best by far I love love the Elizabeth and James dress at the top. The Olsen's can do no wrong. At all. It also shows you how successful they and their clothing lines are in the fashion world. Think about it, you don't see many celebrities/stylists/editors wearing or using clothes designed by other celebrities. The dress is gorgeous, the best part is the sheer straps and the leather, it is aptly named the 'stiletto dress' but unfortunately it is not available in stores yet. As if the outfit couldn't get any better, do I spy some Christian Louboutins? The white dress on above is something out of a dream. The draping is beautiful and makes Kristen look like such a lady, although sadly she looks sort of awkward in this dress too, although not as much as in the Oscar dress. The Sergio Rossi shoes are also to die for (but nothing can break my love for Louboutin).

Dear Mr Oscar De La renta

How do you do it? How do you create the most beautiful dresses year after year? Where do you get your inspiration from? There is not one item from your collection that does not make my jaw drop in amazement, or make me feel jealous that I don't have the funds to buy one of your masterpieces. If I did have the money I would wear your creations all the time, and if I were an actress I wouldn't even threat about what to wear to the Oscars because I know you would come through for me and create the most spectacular garment my eyes will ever see. Every year gets better and better, and next year I hope I can see your creations saunter down the runway whilst I stand on tip-toes in awe at the back row.

Love the theatrical drama of this dress, damn that lucky model Arlenis Sosa, some girls get all the luck

Without a doubt the best collection shown at New York Fashion Week

Meet Moises

Oscar De La Renta has always been well known for his amazing Haute Couture creations and being a hit at the Oscars with his gorgeous well made designs. However, his son Moises De La Renta has decided to put his own personal style out into the world of fashion by creating his own collection: MDLR (which stands for Moises De La Renta).

The images below are my favourite pieces from La Renta's collection. The collection in general is small with about 20 pieces, but its all about quality not quantity.

When being interviewed by Blackbookmag.com Moises described his collection here: "...its definetly for the girl who likes to have fun, for the girl who feels like a rock star even though she may not be. My clothes are just about having fun and being comfortable with oneself". To catch the rest of the interview click here.

The collection is under $1000 but still most likely out of my price range. Visit here for more on the collection.

What do you think of Moises' collection?
