Get ready to stick those heels in the back of your closet and swap them out for a fresh white pair:<br />

Black pumps will always be a classic, but right now, it's all about
white pumps. Worn with anything from dresses to suits, they are the definition of fresh and eye-catching. And worn whenever you would typically wear your black ones, they couldn't be easier to style.<br />

No one does layering and mixing patterns better than Olivia. Each of her outfits has (I'm guessing) approximately 100 layers piled on top of her, consisting of contrasting fabrics and tones, but somehow she just makes it work. This is likely attributed to her polished hair and accessories, which just pulls her ensembles together. It never fails; she simply always looks great.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script></div>Wendi Appelbaumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06809832629016927952noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5282276817312814932.post-27978654176543379472013-02-27T22:08:00.000-05:002015-05-22T16:09:11.359-04:00Outfit Infatuation: Allison WilliamsWhile I wholeheartedly admit that I love a stylish pair of slacks, Allison reminds us that sometimes nothing looks better than a beautiful dress:<br />

After the Oscars ended, many attendees migrated to the after parties sporting entirely new looks for us to gawk at, joining those who weren't invited to the big party. Let's take a gander at these (sometimes second) looks.<br />
<br />
It seems that the same trends and styles that permeated the Oscars carried over quite easily to the after parties. There were still whites and blush tones, lots of sparkles and metallics, and the only colors making an appearance being red and blue. Regardless, the ladies looked lovely, as to be expected:<br />

Thankfully, this time around it's a bit classier than how Britney did it way back when, with only a slivers of toned flesh being shown.<br />
<br />
Paired with high-waist skirts, these updated crop tops look fresh and stylish as opposed to trashy - no butt cracks at risk of being shown on these ladies! <br />

I do love a suit, especially when it's done in a modern, fresh way. <br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Here, Jessica Biel looks great in a mix of colors and patterns, and I especially love the loose and pleated skinny trousers. This is totally appropriate for the workplace, yet still fun and individualistic. I'm definitely going to try something like this myself soon.<br />

I loved it when <a href="http://www.stylishcareerist.com/2012/12/inspiration-festive-holiday-sweaters.html">Lauren Conrad wore a ho-ho-ho holiday sweater</a>, and I'm loving Ashlee Simpson's version of a happy face tee, below: <br />

Ashlee, known for a retro, boho-chic look, toughened up her tee by pairing it with a leather skirt.

I love how she styled the pants with a simple black vest and pointy black heels.

No longer simply the specialists of tartan prints and khaki trenches, it is now the place to go for bright, futuristic metallics. And I couldn't love it more.<br />

Seen on models and celebrities alike it is fun and inspiring, if not exactly appropriate for the office:<br />

So, if you can't actually wear a look from above (like me), take a cue and use it as inspiration and buy something that works for your lifestyle.<br />

Emmy Rossum has been out and about, making the rounds to promote the new season of Showtime series, <i>Shameless</i>. While her role is raunchy, her style is anything but. Glamorous, refined and delicate are much more accurate descriptors to define her off-screen style. Take a look and be inspired by my favorite looks:</div>

Everything from a classic quilted Chanel bag to a must-have Proenza Schouler
iteration being turned into handheld staples. Why do I love it so
much? It's a quick way to punch up an outfit, it adds more versatility
to your bag's shelf life, <i>and</i> it offers up a different approach
to statement arm candy.<br />

While this twofer craze may have started with
medium-sized fare (look to Joanna Hillman, at far right, for edgier
proof), leave it to Victoria Beckham
to supersize the look. On a recent London outing, Victoria turned out
one of her most dramatic tote-to-clutch moments yet. You couldn't miss
her carrying her oversize colorblock Victoria Beckham bag — as a clutch —
in London.<br />
<br />
With a stylish crew behind the twofer look, tell me: would you carry your tote as a clutch?<br />

this year, consider yourself lucky. Since it's almost guaranteed that
we're going to get sick sometime this winter season, we might as well
make ourselves look a little better than we feel.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WIiH5MSzChA/UQqG0hW0xzI/AAAAAAAADXg/gKaIrkTAc_k/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WIiH5MSzChA/UQqG0hW0xzI/AAAAAAAADXg/gKaIrkTAc_k/s640/images.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
If you do catch something, stay home! No need to pass it on to all your co-workers. But, when you're ready to go back to work, but still recovering, there are few quick tips you can employ to look your best when you're on the mend.<br />
<br />
For starters, ramp up moisturizing
efforts. You probably have some dry patches, so a thicker cream will
help combat the loss of hydration. To avoid puffiness, try adding a few
extra pillows while you're sleeping. When it comes to eye makeup, you main goal is toning down the redness
-- a white eyeliner pencil will help with this. Avoid any shadows that
have purple or red tones, which will only draw attention to existing
redness. And make sure your mascara is waterproof. To add a little color
to your face, switch your regular lip balm for a tinted version. Watch
out for lipstick,
however, which can be especially drying. Finally, dust a little bronzer
over your T-zone to give yourself a little healthy glow. Voila! Your coworkers are none the wiser.<br />

That's why I get excited when I see a nail look that's both inspiring and appropriate!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_XOcKQMWR5A/UQlhK2gA6OI/AAAAAAAADVw/Y-4QOwiKYOw/s1600/tumblr_mb1evhDaAu1rdud7oo1_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_XOcKQMWR5A/UQlhK2gA6OI/AAAAAAAADVw/Y-4QOwiKYOw/s320/tumblr_mb1evhDaAu1rdud7oo1_500.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The half moon look, pictured above, is essentially a reversed french manicure. Popular in the 1930s and 40s, it's back, better than ever, and pretty easy to do. If you have a steady hand, apply two coats of the color that will be at the base of your nails. When dry, with a steady hand apply the top color to the rest of the nail, avoiding the circular base. Or, if you are like me and do not have a steady hand, you can also use reinforcement stickers, shown below.<br />

Seemingly every week, gorgeous celebrities dress up in amazing fashions for us to analyze and be inspired by, and this past Sunday was no exception. Both movie and television stars got together to celebrate, uh, themselves, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.<br />
