Fashion Risktaker: Three Celebs Step Out in Head-to-Toe Red Ensembles

(Click to Enlarge)

Three gorgeous ladies recently were spotted stepping out in quite the risky ensembles. We've chatted before about monochromatic looks and have very rarely spotted the look in real-life. It's nice to see these three women above venturing out in the creative dressing category and I'd like to say that I think each of them truly got the look 'just right!' 

From Ciara's daring and plunging Marchesa jumpsuit and matching pointy-toed heels to Cate Blanchett's scarlet dress with matching sandals...each lady donned a look that was very much her own. My fave of the the three just happens to be in the middle. Penelope Cruz regally stands out in her red Bottega Veneta suit and matching heels. 

Each lady deserves golf claps for taking a risk and translating this runway trend in their own, personal way and totally getting it right...enjoy!

Real-life Runway: Gwyneth Paltrow in Sassy and Short Preen Minidress

(Click to Enlarge)

Yowzers...hot body karate! Gwyneth, Gwyneth, Gwyneth! And just when her rounds of stylish, svelte Ironman ensembles were in the way far back of my fashion-loving mind, Miss Paltrow steps out in this Preen stunner and resurrects every bit of fashion pride I have in her. Yep, this dress rocks! 

Paltrow dazzled while donning the gorgeous frock at the Champions of Hope benefit gala for Children of the City in NYC. Her pretty and healthy blonde locks and adorable booties are the perfect additions, along with her subtle pink lips and minimal makeup. Not to mention her rather bronze gams and sparkly blue eyes...Miss Paltrow is definitely a sight! 

Edita Vilkeviciute rocked the same gorgeous cut-out minidress on the runway for Preen in their Fall 2009 show. Both looks were styled to the bare minimum, letting the dress shine like the star it is! This is a total toss up but since I have to give credit where credit is due...I'm going with Miss Paltrow because she took a chance on such a daring number and pulled it off spectacularly! Enjoy!

What to Buy Now: Shorts Suit for Summer and Fall

(Click to Enlarge)

This is one of my favorite new trends...the shorts suit! It popped up on my radar while browsing through the Spring 2009 runway pics (a selection of those looks above) and then numerous starlets started sporting the scalloped Chloe versions and have been spotted all summer long. Shorts suits are such a fresh take on menswear and yet lend themselves nicely to a chic version of a classy summer ensemble. Just remove your jacket and voila, your donning cute shorts and a tank. No really, it's perfect! 

I love the soft blue version at United Bamboo above and also that cobalt blue seen at both Paul Smith Women and Karen Walker looks striking on everyone! I've added some speedy-savvy-stylin' below to get you going. Remember, you can also mix and match like the look from Paul Smith Women above. You shorts don't have to match your jacket. I love the idea of sporting some dark grey shorts with a slouchy T and my fave black boyfriend blazer! Take a moment and breeze through my selections...all the blazers are under $100 and the shorts are under $50. No reason not to get on board for this adorable trend...as you can just pair the entire look with tights come Fall. Enjoy!

Personal Peek: RunwayDaily Attends Fashion Week Awards Show in Austin, TX

(Click to Enlarge)

(Click to Enlarge)

RunwayDaily had the pleasure of recently attending Austin Fashion Week's first ever Fashion Awards Show and let me just tell you...it was awesome! Complete with red carpet interviews and and special guest appearances by Jonathan Kayne (aka: 'Kayne' on Project Runway Season 3) pictured above on the runway with numerous models in his designs. The show's beyond witty hostess, Jenny Hart (loved her) from Sublime Stitching rounded out a great evening of laughter, memories, awesome fashion and everyone vying for that coveted 'Golden Boot!' 

Oh but there's still more...high voltage live music rocked out in the background (my fave: Alpha Rev) while models galavanted on the shortened runway wearing looks from local designers. LA based designer Corey Lynn Calter passed out an award and the after-party got started outside a bit early as a gorgeous Texas sunset laid the perfect backdrop (pic above). All in all, a fabulous first go for Austin's inaugural Fashion Week! We here at RWD are hoping to be much more involved next year as we literally knew NO ONE! Cheers to Austin and it's unending support of local creative artists...and that, dear readers, is exactly why I'm thrilled we moved to this awesome city! Bravo!

Personal Style: "Casual Lunch Date" - à la Anne Hathaway

(Click to Enlarge)

Ahhhhh...love is in the air for Anne Hathaway and beau Adam Shulman. And how adorable is Hathaway's chic ensemble? The hat adds such a nice touch. I tend to don hats all summer long for many reasons including (but not limited to) as a great coverup tactic for ragged summer hair and to keep the sun off my face. 

Above, I just love how Hathaway mixed her striped mini dress with casual flats, a long statement necklace, a camel carry-all (peeking out) and some chic shades. I've pulled some similar pieces below in my speedy-savvy-stylin' for you to recreate this easy, breezy and killer summer outfit! Both price points as some pieces are a splurge and some are a steal...enjoy!

PS - How adorable that Shulman is loud and proud and wearing a T in support of his woman's latest project? Gotta love a man that's proud of his woman!

Personal Style: Fashionable Fall Work Attire à la Kate Moss

(Click to Enlarge)

(Click to Enlarge)

I love me some Kate Moss. Her style sense is awesome and insanely addicting. I could stare at her wardrobe selections all day long. And the best part is, the lady obviously doesn't hire a stylist and completely puts together her looks all on her own. You gotta respect that! Today is just a quick post about some fashionable work pieces for Fall and we're taking cues from the fashion darling herself. 

Kate Moss is known to don menswear inspired pieces and then mix them with some feminine flair. I love how she plays up blazers over florals or dresses them down with cutoff denim. Becoming a season favorite at Topshop, Moss' self-named collections create a cult following for the fashion obsessed. In this situation, I'm happy the paparazzi stalk...we actually get to see some Moss choices as she heads into business meetings at Topshop's London headquarters. 

Always looking refined and put together but also a tad bit serious too (pics above)...Moss' style is something I try to emulate and constantly watch. I chose eight awesome pieces that every working woman should have in her wardrobe, based on some of Kate's choice looks. They're die-hard, go-to, wardrobe staples that will be rotated in on a consistent basis...trust me! Here's some quick speedy-savvy-stylin' below because I know one of these pieces is just gonna grab your attention (Crest Tote - ah hem!) Just want to keep all my hard working readers up to date on what to wear to the office. Enjoy!

First Look: RWD Announces Contest Winners: Polyvore.com's "The Summer Six" Top Three Stylists

(Click to Enlarge)

It was with great pleasure that I recently judged The Summer Six Contest for Polyvore. To say that polyvore set-makers are sophisticated stylists is the biggest understatement, ever. These creative fashion magicians create ensembles that set the mood, tell a story or even channel a celeb. The passion they put into every set is amazing and their eye for style is innate. I chose six stellar summer trends and Polyvore asked it's members to best create a set that demonstrated how they'd wear the trend. With just over two thousand entries this was quite a large task. Would you believe me if I said I looked at every single one? Well...I did!  And it was a hard, hard job to choose only three because there were so many fabulous entries.

So, without further ado...my top three favorite sets/winners are below. Why these three? I love how each look incorporated more than one trend from my Summer Six. Many of the stylists just chose one trend (which is fine) but I love how these amazing stylists below chose two or more in their sets. I'd like to breakdown for you what I love and adore about each set, too!

1st Place Winner:

The Summer Six by Lindsey Luscious on Polyvore.com

Lindsey's set caught my attention right away. From the incredibly adorable zebra crop top to a pair of skin toned Steve Madden gladiator's I've been lusting over the last two seasons (but just haven't purchased yet.) I can honestly see myself donning every single piece in this set. I love the stacker rings and the Ray Ban Wayfarers. I adore my leather vest and never thought to pair it with some cutoffs. How about those statement chandelier earrings? Love them. Great job, Lindsey Luscious!

2nd Place Winner:

The Summer Six Contest by ♥Donna Leny♥ {TAKIN' REQUESTS} featuring Kenneth Jay Lane jewelry

Donna Leny's set grabbed my attention immediately. This was a very close second place finisher. Including four of the six summer trends, this lady KNOWS how to pair piece together. The four she styled are statement earrings, coral colored accessories, captivating cut outs and skin tone sandals. Adding in a picture of her fave actress (I'm also a big Keira fan) and some sweet Paisley notecards...I knew this lady had ladylike style right away. You have to dig deep into all the items in this set...because some are hidden, but that's just what I love. Congrats winner number two, Donny Leny.

3rd Place Winner:

Break The Walls by snowbell on Polyvore.com

Snowbell's set, aptly named Break the Walls, is rocker chic with tough girl charm. This die-hard Polyvore devotee already has some serious medals and Polyvore reader accolades under her belt...style is style and my eyes were continually drawn back to this gorgeous muted hue ensemble. Including both a maxi skirt, a cropped jacket and statement earrings, Snowbell pulled out all the stops for this gorgeous creation. With piece ranging from $12.50 to $1,625.00, this is a lady after my own heart mixing high and low pieces with ease. Congrats Snowbell on your gorgeous third place set.

Thank you Polyvore for such a wonderful and fun Summer Six Contest. Each entry was amazing and Polyvore really is a great place to put some of your styling skills to use. If you haven't tried it yet, it's easy and totally user friendly. Make sure to check it out if putting together creative outfits is one of your passions, like mine because sometimes the contests even have REAL prizes (gift cards) in addition to the Polyvore medals. Enjoy my dear readers and congrats again...to the three Summer Six Winners!
