Style Icon: Gennifer Goodwin

If there was any celeb I would happily share wardrobes with, it would be Gennifer Goodwin. Not only is she on my favourite show 'Once Upon a Time' but she is just adorably chic. 

Red carpet favourites  -versatile lengths in bold colours and shoes with details. 

Beauty close up - Simple 70's makeup: bold brows, soft + natural face with nude lips + focus on eyes.

The devil is in the details - intricately detailed dresses paired with bold nails and unique accessories.

Red carpet

Spotted: MARNI X H+M

Model Eva Marcille in a Marni for H+M african print skirt. I love how she styled this look -- going for an African Safari vibe with the earthy tones from head to toe. Her exposed midriff is the perfect amount of skin to show especially since the skirt is knee length....and how hot are her shoes (what are they?)!!!*jaw drops*

Bare Necessities

Solange isn't the only keeping up with the 1940/50's exposed midriff trend that has been around for years, but is finally making it's mark on the catwalks, red carpet and in editorials in a big way.

Note: Belly buttons should be out of sight - this isn't SJP circa 1990's Sex + the city trend.
For those like me that aren't too confident with exposing your stomach area there are options like dresses with sheer layering and cut-outs that only show a peek of midriff. So we can all have a piece of midriff action- yay! Bare in mind (ha!) that the fitted/tailored/structured pieces look best.

Celeb Style

Megan Fox AT the premiere of her movie 'Friends with Kids' in a gorgeous Elie Saab Spring 2012 Couture dress with a pair of YSL 'Trib Too' pumps and a lilac Salvatore Ferragamo clutch. 

Beyonce in a heel-free outfit. She's wearing SYRIAM FLAG PRINT silk crepe pants by EASTON PEARSON with a fedora, black penny loafers and Linda Farrow for the Row large round sunglasses. I normally don't like what she wears but I love this look - Cool MAMA!

Gennifer Goodwin, one my favourite stylish celebs is wearing a leather dress by Shoshanna, with standout accessories in orange.  Her platforms are by Guiseppe Zannoti and she's also wearing a bracelet and simple gold studs. With hair and face like that she doesn't need to do too much with her makeup or accessories.

Lana Del Rey IN A SIMPLE GREEN LOOK. Haven't heard a single one of her songs but I like her hipster style. Here she is wearing a cropped double cloth shell top by ASOS with a matching pair of cropped flare trousers also by ASOS.
