Rooney Mara's Super Bowl Sunday Ensemble
WWD asked a few parisian designers to sketch a Super Bowl outfit for Rooney Mara, who comes from a long line of football fanatics. We particlarly enjoy this one by Clare Waight Keller from Chloe. What would you outfit Rooney in for the biggest sporting event of the year? See all of the sketches here! [WWD]

Prabal Gurung Spring Campaign
We just about fell out of our chairs when we laid our eyes on Prabal Gurung's Spring 2012 campaign. Victoria's Secret model and blonde bombshell Candice Swanepoel went dark for the designer and totally kills it in his graphic, cutout pieces from the collection. We can't wait to see what he shows for Fall 2012. [Lucky]

Style Spotlight: Cameron Diaz
Wed, 2012-02-01 14:51 | by AnonymousCameron has recently been spotted front fow at the couture shows and now we know why, thanks to New York Mag! In preparation for a big couture editorial she'll shoot for InStyle, the actress acompanied the mag's Style Director to many of the Paris shows. Her ubiquitous presence was welcomed by the paparazzi and we loved seeing the different looks she sported. See some of our faves below!
Cameron looks polka dot perfect in this cap sleeve, belted frock. We love how she glammed it up with a blonde pouf and feminine makeup. Get her flirty look with Moschino Cheap and Chic's Ruffle Wrap and Dance Dress.
Cap sleeves and lace are two ways to get instant effortless glam. We love Cameron's floral look - get it with this Mark & James by Badgley Mischka Rose Garden Shift. This ensemble is perfect for a first date, anniversary, or dinner party!
Cameron's athletic figure is flattered by one shoulder styles that help offset broader shoulders. We love this coral color on her and this Peter Som dress does just the trick. The gorgeous draping gives the illusion of curves and the length is great for a multitude of occasions.
Tuesday Tip: SAG Awards Style
Tue, 2012-01-31 16:41 | by AnonymousWe've seen quite the evolution of the braid from side-styled Blake Lively to Lauren Conrad's classic french braid. Now this hairdo has become even more boho chic and made quite the impact on the red carpet at this year's SAG Awards.
Is the braid the new headwrap? Glee's Dianna Agron looked effortlessly glamorous with a twist on the classic braid. According to her hairstylist (thanks BellaSugar!) he dried Dianna's hair using a texturizing spray then created a fishtail braid starting at the left side of the ear. After that, he wrapped it around the head like a crown to bring attention to the front.
Sounds easy enough! This look is great for you ladies that have layers or bangs and want them away from your face. There is no need to set with hairspray because you want this look to seem as natural as possibly. Wispy strands are encouraged to be left out!
Pair with our Dannijo Ajak earrings for the perfect finishing touch to make this look all your own! Where will you wear it?

Gossip Girl Style: Blair's Bridesmaids
Mon, 2012-01-30 17:00 | by AnonymousTonight Gossip Girl episode is a milestone in two respects: Blair's wedding and it's the show's 100th episode! It's hard to imagine what our Monday nights would be without the escapades of Manhattan's elite.
When we caught this picture of Blair's bridesmaids, we couldn't help but love the color palatte. Blush and neutral tones are everywhere right now and it seems like the people at GG are loving the trend. To get this soft, feminine look and channel Blair's entourage, rent Milly's Almond Rosette dress for your next date night, cocktail party, or event. It would also be a perfect pick for Valentine's Day (whether you're single or taken!).
SAG Awards Red Carpet
Mon, 2012-01-30 14:52 | by AnonymousThe stars came out last night for the SAG Awards in Los Angeles and we were delighted to see some risk takers on the red carpet. From tea lengths to cutouts, there was no shortage of fun, fashion forward styles and the usual suspects made our best dressed list this time around.
Emily Blunt and John Krasinski are officially the "It Couple" of the moment and for good reason. They look so genuinely happy and not to mention they make a very pretty pair. Emily donned a mint green Oscar de la Renta gown for the awards show last night and they color is perfect on her. Stick with this trend and freshen things up with this spearmint Carlos Miele gown for your next event.
Emma Stone is on a record setting trajectory towards becoming a fashion icon and she hasn't made a wrong turn yet. This tea length, full skirted Alexander McQueen dress looks like it was made for her and the ankle strap heels are pretty much everything. To get her look for a less formal event, try this figure-flattering, full-skirted frock from See by Chloe.
Jessica Chastain is killing it in a Calvin Klein Collection cobalt gown that complements her amber locks almost too perfectly. Get her look with a beautifully cut Narciso Rodriguez gown that will have you standing out in a sea of black.
Kudos to Kyra Sedgwick for pulling off a bold color and cutouts! The film and television star worked the carpet with hubby Kevin Bacon by her side. To get Kyra's look, go with this daring Narciso Rodriguez gown for your next formal event or wedding.
Viola Davis was positively glowing in this white hot strapless gown and we have to mention her stellar makeup too. She won best actress for her role in The Help and we couldn't have been more excited to see her accept the award. The white hot gown was refreshing to see after so many pastels and neutrals. We love the gold/silver and white combo; try this Calvin Klein Collection number for your next date, girl's night out, or birthday party!
Style Awards: Blue Crush
Fri, 2012-01-27 17:06 | by AnonymousCongrats to this week's Style Awards winner, Rosa! She looks absolutely stunning in the Laila Azhar Sparkling Asymmetric Draped Dress. We love how she paired with a muted neutral, cuff, and simple black heels. We are totally crushing on this pop of color blue hue!
