Over on blah blah birds, Ladybird Dyan talked about polka dots here and Ladybird Toni talked about the button-down shirt here, but I had to revisit these trends when I saw Cameron's super cute polka dot blouse.  It's simple and classic! Very relaxed look.  Don't you love?

Wednesday Style Steal...

 Miranda Kerr

Ok!  Yes, another WSS featuring Miranda Kerr.  What can I say, her style catches my eye!  Tuxedo pants have been around since Spring and should run straight through Fall.  I'm really starting to dig them.  They add that special touch when you turn to the side or just knowing that stripe is going down the side is too fun! lol! Gotta find me a pair!  Of course, I spotted Miranda Kerr wearing them and she looked really darling chic.  Her look can go from day to night in seconds.  Love it!  Also,  recently saw Rihanna rockin' some here.  

Here are some of my favorites...

cheetah stripe pants

striped side pants

crepe tuxedo trouser

warehouse color block pants

silk colorblock pants

ivory and black wide-leg tuxedo pant

Also, these from Pixie Market are pretty cute...

tribal print trousers

reno pant

Feeling the tuxedo pant or not so much?

Miranda Kerr is wearing the perfect summer look.  She's keeping it pretty simple with a light sleeveless top and flat sandals, but adding a pop of color with these super cute leopard print skinnies.  As you probably already know...I'm always loving Miranda's style.  So Parisian meets downtown chic.  There are so many ways to work this look.  Choose any color or printed pant or jean, add a simple sleeveless top or tunic, and flats...there you go!

happy summer!!!  when I think of summer, one of the main things I think of is travel.  where can I go?  who can I go visit?  It is the time for lots of vacay!  when I saw this photo of Miranda Kerr, I thought her look was perfect for summer travel.  relaxed drawstring trousers, light-weight tee, a blazer to keep you warm and cozy during the flight, lovely sunnies, and of course the ultimate travel tote. as for the peep-toe pumps, I'm not a stiletto/pump girl, but I would throw on some cute flat sandals and keep it moving.  whatever works for you!

Wednesday Style Steal: Pretty In Pink

Beyonce Knowles

Here I go again with another "WSS" on Beyonce.  What can I say, I'm just really feeling her style lately.  Got your red pants? Now get some pink!  I'm not really a pink girl, but something about a pair of pink pants really catches my eye.  Beyonce paired hers with a print, but a solid blouse in any color would work great...colorblocking!  I love her in this relaxed, no fuss look!

Wednesday Style Steal...

Not my typical Wednesday Style Steal, but I thought I would share a couple of my fav looks from the Met Gala that took place the night before last.  What a glam night it was!

Two trends happening right now that I'm loving are the peplum and the blazer.  Solange is flawless in her bright yellow peplum gown and Kristen was unique in a 20's style ladylike blazer and skirt combo.  Loving her belt!

Nicole Richie always looks great when she hits the red carpet or on any given day.   With her hair up and fresh make-up, she looked effortless chic. I thought she was wearing a dress, but she's wearing a sleeveless top and a high-low hem skirt (not too fond of the paisley print ) by her own collection, Winter Kate.  Loving the leather sleeve jacket and tribal print top. I adore prints, but a tribal or ethnic print...gotta have it!  I bought the aztec midi dress below from Asos Curve...can't wait to try it on.

The ladies came out in their brightest to celebrate Gwyneth Paltrow's Women In Film Pre-Oscar event. It's almost like they called each other and said "Girl, wear something Springy and bright".  They all showed up in the most vibrant colors, and looked beautiful doing so.  I thought this was great for Wednesday Style Steal.  We all can definitely get this look and look just as fab!  I'm thinking...pairing it with a great pair of metallic sandals (see below).  I don't know what it is, but bright colors just make me want to put on metallic accessories (Vanessa Hudgen had the right idea).  What do you think?
