Balmain Blazin!

Elizabeth Olson made a statement at a movie premieres by sporting an ivory beaded Balmain blazer with her long jersey dress.  She styled up the look with a sleek baby blue The Row clutch, black pumps, and straight hair. The entire ensemble intrigued me because a predictable styling for the Blazer would have been a mimic of the runway look.  Elizabeth made sure to style the blazer to suit her own feminine ladylike taste.

The Balmain blazer is available at AlOthman.

Blooming Day & Night

One way that surely keeps me refreshed during the summer season is wearing floral prints.  During long hot summer days I usually go for a lightweight piece with a soft print just like the Erdem dress recently spotted on Keira Knightley.  I would even go for similar flats and cross over bag to keep myself comfortable while vacationing and strolling the streets of New York, London, Paris … just name the city!

For night time and perhaps an occasion, I would slip into a statement dress with a bold floral print similar to the Proenza Schouler piece seen on Dakota Fanning.  I would, however, ditch the clunky black heels and go for gold strappy sandals. A high bun and statement earrings would definitely perfect the look.

Why not get a hold of these dresses to blossom your summer days and nights. Both are available at AlOthman.

PreFall Elegance

Sarah Jessica Parker added some edge to her otherwise very elegant Oscar de la Renta gown from the PreFall 2012 collection.  The pink pleated gown was complemented with a Theyskens’ Theory leather jacket, pointy grey pumps, and white gloves.  The more I look at her picture the more I start appreciating how she pulled off the entire look.  I have said this one and I’ll say it again, only someone like SJP can make any look work for her!

Another elegant look from Oscar‘s Prefall collection was seen on Rashida Jones at the 2012 Independent Spirit Awards. Her blossoming dress looked so chic with her navy heels, but what’s with the messy lifeless hair? She would have looked amazing with her hair up in a bun or a sleek ponytail.  Rashida could have also added a statement necklace to elevate the look by a few notches.

Both Oscar de la Renta looks are available at AlOthman.

Summer Reds

Brighten up your summer and show off your sun kissed tan with a fierce shade of red.  Go for a flirty look a la Amy Adams in Roland Mouret, or channel your inner child (or cat obsessed self) in this VICTORIA by Victoria Beckham cat printed frock as seen on Katy Perry.  Hurry up and get a hold of these two items, both available at AlOthman and at a discount!

Neon Nicholas

Jessica Biel sure knew how to stop the red carpet traffic in her Nicholas Kirkwood for Roksanda Ilincic pumps with neon block heels.  There is nothing else to say except that I have not seen her look this good in a looooong time… I guess being a future bride agrees with her!

Jessica‘s heels along with the rest of the Nicholas tantalizing summer collection are available at AlOthman.

Oscar Glitz and Glam

During summer weddings  we are always in need of gowns that are thriving on color and glitzy detailing, and ofcourse we can always turn to Oscar de la Renta to fulfill that need.    Here is Ashley Greene showing off one of his statement cocktail dresses for the red carpet.  She paired the frock with a metallic belt and black pumps, and she finished off the look with bouncy curls, pink lips and a gorgeous smile!  Even though the dress should not be overpowered by accessories, I still think Ashley would have aced this look in colorful satin sandals and a neutral colored clucth… the black accessories look too heavy on her!

Another show stopping piece  was worn by the one and only Sarah Jessica Parker at the Harry Potter premiere, an Oscar de la Renta column gown with water colored print.  Yet since she was attending the premiere with her son,  SJP decided to dress it down by pairing it with a blazer and a purse.   That’s how amazing she is, she still manages to steal the spotlight even with the minimal effort she put into her look!

Both Oscar de la Renta pieces are available at AlOthman.

Chic Candy

Its never a complete summer without fresh  candy color  dresses, and no one did it better than Roland Mouret this season.  Here is Amber Valetta brightening up the dull carpet and grey wall in her coral fitted ‘Mordecai’ dress with origami pleating. She kept her look fresh with her sleek ponytail and red lips.

Katy Perry looked every bit of a bonbon in her color blocked ‘Anabelle’ dress.  She continued the blue theme with her quirky bow tie shoes and 60′s inspired hairdo.

Indulge your sweet tooth in these Roland Mouret pieces at AlOthman.

Nothing speaks fashion in volumes like Anna Dello Russo. This daring editor of Vogue Nippon was spotted in a breathtaking pink Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 gown.

Perfectly pink, pleated, and princessy this gown was accessorized with an electrifying blue clutch, gold accessories, and statement sunglasses.

Modern Victoria

It took me a few seconds to recognize Jennifer Morrison who looked dashing in this Oscar de la Renta dainty cocktail dress with chic cascading tassels at this year’s People’s Choice Awards. She paired the frock with nude heels and diamond earrings yet she perfected it with her statement updo.  I have really fallen in love with the Oscar piece just by how Jennifer looked in it, it’s ideal for a wedding or a reception.  I would have, however, add some color to the look … maybe through a pair of colored heels? or perhaps a clutch? Just a thought …

The Oscar de la Renta dress is available at AlOthman.
