Elizabeth and James

During Kim Kardashian‘s recent trip to Miami she spent lots of quality time with her little nephew Mason, got a golden glow on the beach and most up-my-alley, wore fabulous outfit after outfit…well, after outfit. How totally Kardashian of her! Here she attended the Miami Open in jeans and a blazer with Louboutins that I love, don’t you? It’s a look that’s laid-back enough that almost anyone can pull it off. Give it a try.

Someone take my temperature, please. I have never, ever been a fan of “Maxi” dresses, however recently I have found myself really drawn to them. There is something so effortless about a long dress, and because of its length, it can look quite elegant or be quite casual, depending on what you pair it with. I think a perfect example of this trend done right is the Elizabeth and James Tulip dress. I’m nuts over the contrasting shirred bodice and chiffon skirt and how flattering is that tulip shape?! It’s absurdly pretty. Sadly, as is the case with all Elizabeth and James clothing, this delightful dress is totally out of my price range. And sold out.

If you, like me, were a big fan of the Elizabeth and James Tulip dress but not such a fan of the price-tag, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by our “Steal” recommendation. How cute is this “Zoe” dress by Element? Not only does it have the bandeau top and tulip skirt, but it combines the springy, peachy colors of the first dress we featured above, with the peacock print of the second! This dress will easily take you from the beach to a restaurant: just swap the flip-flops for some heels.

Who would’ve known 10 years ago that the Olsen twins would once become a serious force in the fashion industry? I didn’t. But over time I’ve learned to love their contemporary line Elizabeth and James (named after their 2 other siblings). With shoes like the bubblegum pink platforms pumps below it really isn’t hard to fall in love. These darlings have everything I love about shoes. They are bold, sky-high and radiate a subtle sexiness despite the cute sorbet color. I’d rock them with edgy accessories and black liquid leggings to avoid cuteness overkill and bring in some contrast to the look.

Lumiani “Holly” Platform Pumps

While these suede platform heels by Lumiani are more tamed than their designer counterpart they still serve as a great alternative if you don’t want to shell out $350 on pink pumps. Not a fan of pink? They also come in black, brown and purple suede.

Back in November during her promotional tour for New Moon, Kristen Stewart wowed the press in a black Elizabeth and James leather dress at the photocall in Madrid which she accessorized with her hunky co-stars and a pair of gorgeous Christian Louboutin merlot platform pumps. If you were dying to find Kristen’s dress ever since, your search is finally over because the dress can now be pre-ordered at NORDSTROM for a whopping $545. Pricey, indeed, but still sold out soon I’m pretty sure. Twilight fashionistas, get your credit cards ready! If you’re rather interested in a steal version of Kristen’s lustworthy merlot Louboutins, click here.

Back in July Hayden Panettiere visited the MTV Studios to tape her guest appearance at the “It’s On With Alexa Chung” show in New York. And man, didn’t she look stunning? The young actress was wearing a nude colored Elizabeth and James longsleeve dress with bell sleeves which she accessorized with black open-toe booties by Giuseppe Zanotti and a funky purple Nancy Gonzalez croc clutch. I think I’ve never seen Hayden looking better than this. LOVE the look!
